The Implementation of Social Pedagogy from the Perspectives of Practitioners

07 Июня 2013, лекция

In recent years the exploration of social pedagogy has increased considerably within services for children
and young people, especially for children in care. Connected to this is a widespread interest in and
curiosity about how ‘frontline’ practitioners could make use of a holistic and overarching concept that
defies definitions and does not come with a ‘how-to guide’. So how have UK professionals who have
participated in our social pedagogy development courses actually embraced and integrated social
pedagogy into their practice? This paper aims to give a short insight into the professional and personal
development of some of these participants, who went on a further learning path and submitted
assignments which were in turn assessed through ThemPra and the University of Lincoln. To establish an
ongoing process of reflection and to enable them to trace their learning, it was a requirement for all course
participants to keep a reflective diary.

The marketing environment

12 Мая 2014, контрольная работа

Managing the marketing function would be hard enough if the marketer had to deal only with the controllable marketing-mix variables.

The company must carefully analyze its environment so that it can avoid the threats and take advantage of the opportunities.
Companies may think that they have few opportunities, but this belief shows a failure to think strategically about what business they are in and what strengths they have.

The modern office: Russian and Western approaches differ

28 Сентября 2013, контрольная работа

An opinion poll conducted among designers of office décor has yielded a stunning result: There is a clear dividing line between “Westerners” and “Russian traditionalists” with regard to the appearance of a contemporary office. Although the two groups of designers fulfill different orders to decorate different orders, the former believe that their task is to competently apply Western design solutions in Russia, while the latter counter that “Russia is unique in its specifics, which demand special solutions.”
What are the main differences between these approaches to the organization of office space? If, for example, a Western company organizes a Moscow office, it will practically resemble a standard Western office, which typically has open space with no partitions, with each workplace well planned, with a minimum of furniture, and with a well-defined color spectrum. A Western office strictly conforms to ergonomics as regards lighting, intercom, and computer network - all forming an integral part of the interior décor.

The organs of speech and their work. The active and passive organs of speech

Organs of speech are: nasal cavity (полость носа), lips, teeth, alveolar ridge, ‘larynx(гортань), palate (soft and hard), uvula(язычок), tongue (tip, blade(передняя часть), front, back), epiglottis(надгортанник), pharynx(глотка), vocal cords, and tra’chea(трахея).
The air stream released by the lungs goes through the windpipe (дыхательное горло) and comes to the larynx, which contains the vocal cords. The vocal cords are two elastic folds (изгибы) which may be kept apart or brought together (сведены вместе). The opening between them is called the glottis (голосовая щель). If the tense(напряженный) vocal cords are brought together, the air stream forcing an opening makes them vibrate and we hear some voice.

The pragmatic aspects of the sentence

30 Марта 2013, реферат

Pragmatics is a subfield of linguistics which studies the ways in which context contributes to meaning. Pragmatics encompasses speech act theory, conversational implicature, talk in interaction and other approaches to language behavior in philosophy, sociology, and linguistics and anthropology. Unlike semantics, which examines meaning that is conventional or "coded" in a given language, pragmatics studies how the transmission of meaning depends not only on structural and linguistic knowledge of the speaker and listener, but also on the context of the utterance, any preexisting knowledge about those involved, the inferred intent of the speaker, and other factors. In this respect, pragmatics explains how language users are able to overcome apparentambiguity, since meaning relies on the manner, place, time etc. of an utterance.
