"Hikaru no Go": Korean version


One of my favorite comics is "Hikaru no Go". As you may already know, it's very popular in Korea, too. The Korean title can be literally translated into Japanese as "囲碁の王".

Revival of Paper: Booklets and Textbooks in Collaborative Classroom Networks

HINKELMAN, Don 2008 (JALT CALL)

Sapporo Gakuin University (JAPAN)
Time: Sunday, 11:20 to 12:00 in Room 635
Revival of Paper: Booklets and Textbooks in Collaborative Classroom Networks

The use of paper-based materials in online or blended classrooms is exploding, not disappearing as previously predicted for the electronic age. Why is this counter-inutuitive trend occurring? This paper will present a theoretical discussion on the role of paper in blended language learning environments. Based on a three year case study across two Japanese universities, the author investigates how paper was used as an integrated (not parallel) tool or interface to various activities presented face-to-face and online. Using a qualitative analysis procedure, three different modes of paper-based media emerged that teachers configured for their activities:
1. Booklets of forms and handouts created by the teacher
2. Commercially-published textbooks with online components
3. Self-published textbooks using Lulu or other online printing systems
Photos of student use of paper, samples of each mode and the reasons for use, as articulated by teachers, will be presented. Finally, another interesting trend was observed—the “blended task”. In each site, teachers often constructed tasks which switched repeatedly between a paper-based form, face-to-face interaction, and online publishing or referencing. This unusual development was analysed using a socio-cultural framework called actor-network theory. The conclusion of this study is that the use of paper was not only increasing in the case study environments, but also that the design, operation, and ownership of the materials was changing due to changes in technological flexibility and open rules for materials exchange. Implications for classroom teaching of foreign languages will be outlined and comments by participants encouraged.

RIDEBACK - カサハラテツロー

8巻ぐらいまで出てたと思う。近所の本屋でも見かけたと相方が言うので、とりあえず試しに1~4巻だけご購入。ライドバックという乗り物がけっこう新鮮。主人公のりんのふわふわした感じが、ライドバックの動きと相性よし、絵的に。

ライドバックとは、おんぶしてもらう(背中に乗る=ride on (one's) back)ような格好で乗るマシンのこと。基本はバイクで、手足がついているというか。しゃがんだり、つかんだり、とんだり出来る。マシンの設定については、巻末にこんな感じのメモがついている(↓)。愛を感じます。

乗りこなすには相当のバランス感覚と鍛えられた筋肉や持久力が必要。というわけで、「ひょんなことから」ライドバックに乗ることになり、はまってしまった主人公のりんは、バレエダンサーという設定。なるほど。

近未来(2020年)と「学園紛争」の話のマッチングにも「へえ」と思った。学園紛ねぇ・・・さすがに実体験はないしなぁ。このマッチングが面白いかどうかは、全体でどういう話に展開させるか次第かな。ちょっと保留。

5巻以降は、なにやら派手にきな臭い感じになりそうだが・・・。

Editorial Review
Basil Hallward, an artist, meets Dorian Gray and paints his portrait. The artist is so infatuated with Dorian's beauty that he begins to believe it is the reason for his quality of art. Dorian becomes convinced that beauty is all-important and wishes his portrait could age instead of him. Beware of what you have wish for! Each time Dorian commits a sin his portrait ages, showing him what is happening to his soul.

Logan Series (CambridgeEnglish Readers)

このシリーズ、なかなかよくできていると思うのですが、1つのレベルに1冊ずつなんですよね。
そして今のところ全4冊。今後の充実に期待!

Inspector Logan (Level 1)

A missing woman and a dead body welcome Inspector Jenny Logan to her new job with the Edinburgh police. Logan questions the husband of the dead woman and a local doctor about the murder, but can she believe what they say? Then, a piece of jewellery leads Logan to the killer.

Logan's Choice (Level 2)
'I'm Inspector Logan of the Edinburgh police,' Jenny said. 'I'm very sorry about the death of your husband.' Who killed Alex Maclennan? His friend, his wife or her brother? It isn't easy but Logan has to choose.

A Puzzle for Logan (Level 3)
'Someone's found a young woman's body in Holyrood Park. We're wanted over there immediately.' 'Today was my day off,' said Logan. 'Not any longer,' replied Grant. What has an escaped murderer to do with the body? Can Logan find the answer to the puzzle?

The University Murders (Level 4)
'Tell me again about this woman you killed,' said Logan. 'I've told you already Inspector,' replied Billy. 'I killed her and left her body in the grass.' When an Edinburgh man says he has murdered a young woman, Inspector Logan doesn't believe him. Billy Marr has lied about crimes many times before. But then a young woman is found dead in a park. Soon there is another body. Perhaps Billy is not so innocent after all...

Coconuts Period

『絶望~』は揃えなかったけど、山田玲司の頃のエコ系はけっこう面白い。
エコエコパンドラ」とか(・・・『絶望~』前は知らないけど)。

本作は、「エコって何?」な民雄くんと、地球を救える大発明のデータを奪われ、殺されかかってすっかりやさぐれちゃったウサギ(!)が主人公。けっこう爆弾発言ぽくても民雄くんとウサギ博士のおかげでオブラートに包まれている(?) 

「この話の一部はフィクションではありません」・・・このセンスが好き。

Applying an LMS to Large Language Classes

P. Grew, I. Longhi, F. De Cindio, and L.A. Ripamonti (Italy)

Keywords

Abstract

: Having applied an open-source LMS to about two thousand on-screen English exams for required courses that are part of the Universit di Milano's computer science short-degree program, the authors report on some of the interesting effects of using such a system. Large class size led to the adoption of an LMS designed for distance learning as a platform for automated test marking. A greater sense of belonging among students has resulted. Upon completion of a test, students immediately see where they stand vis--vis the group at large, and students who have not attended class can be brought into the system/community.

Language Learning Strategies in Independent Settings

Stella Hurd & Tim Lewis (2008)
Multilingual Matters


Language Learning Strategies in Independent Settings looks interesting!! I'll get this. ☆☆☆☆☆


Always On looks interesting, too, but it's rather out of my reach now.

2005年のロケットボーイズ 五十嵐貴久

『2005年のロケットボーイズ』、面白かった!気持ちいい!☆☆☆☆☆

五十嵐作品は初だったけれど、XX年シリーズということで、すでに2作出ている:『1985年の奇跡 』『1995年のスモーク・オン・ザ・ウォーター』。また好きな作家さんが見つかりました。

普通の(ではないかな)高校生たちが、ひょんなことから小型人工衛星キューブサットを作ることになってしまったお話(KKS-1プロジェクトとか、若者たちのプロジェクトはけっこうあるみたい。ほおお)。どう考えても実現不可能でしょ・・・という感じなのだが。

なんというか、彼らは、ものすごく頑張る。粘る。なんでそこまで頑張ったのか、「振り返って考えてみてもよくわからない。でも、結局は面白かったからやっていたのだと思う」(主人公君談)。そうだよね~面白くないとね~。

若者がロケットに挑戦する『夏のロケット』を思い出した。こちらはもう少し挑戦が正統派っぽかったような・・・ん?思い出したとか言いつつ、覚えていないか・・・とにかく、面白かったことは確か。も1回読みましょうかね。

今回は、結局4,5冊同時並行で読むことになった。本屋で、この本(↓)が目についたから・・・てわけではない(たぶん。買ってないし)。

この頃さすがに一気読みがきつくなった。というか、読み終わるまで読むのをやめないという習慣を直しておかないと、まずいでしょやっぱり。というわけで「途中でやめる」練習をスタート。仕事帰りに買う。電車で読む。家でもちょっと読む。朝は読まない。でも帰りになんか買ってしまう。電車で読む・・・をやっていたら同時並行になってしまった。

けっこう、いけるかも。半分まで読んだ本の続きを読み始めるとき、脳みそが慣れない仕事で一生懸命になっている気がする(気のせいかね)。なんといっても「思い出す」作業はものすごく苦手だからな、私。
