11. ARTICLES Embodied Ethnographic Practice A1 Success structure for accelerated acquisition of English by Young ESL learners A2 Mathematical Problem solving for intergrated programme students: Beliefs and performance in non-routine problems A3 Designing meaning with multiple media sources: A case of eight year old students’ writing processes A4 Struggling reader, struggling teacher: An examination of student-teacher transactions with reading instruction and text in social studies. A5

12. A1 To find out more about how experienced ethnography actually conduct ethnography fieldwork and construct their ethnographic accounts To gain insights (view and experiences) from a range of ethnographers A2 To explore and determine the factors that influence the successful English language acquisition among young pupils in an International School (Uplands) in Penang, Malaysia A3 To sensitize students to a different dimensions-resources, heuristics, control and beliefs of mathematical problem solving. PURPOSE

13. A4 To investigate how multiple media sources help to compose in writing To examine the transactions between a sixth-grade social studies teacher. Mrs. O’Reilly, and a struggling reader within her classroom, Sarah, in relation to the reading task demands of their classroom. A5 To examine students’ identities as readers and its impact on their literacy development (Broughton & Fairbanks, 2003; Compton-Lilly, 2006; McCartey, 2002). . PURPOSE

14. METHODOLOGY: only interview NO. OF PARTICIPANTS : 7 Participant 1-capoeira classroom Participant 2-knowledge of China Participant 3-the effect of inspection on primary school and creative learning Participant 4 -Provincial Mexican junior high school’ Participant 5-Tangles Up in school(a 2 year study of an urban elementary school) Participant 6-Ethnography studies on black and disadvantaged youth in USA Participant 7-Ethnographic study of the white working class DATA ANALYSIS: transcribed (by a doctoral research student) A1

15. METHODOLOGY: employed an ethnographic case study approach where data were gathered through non-participant observations, unstructured interviews, relevant documents, students’ portfolios, field notes and biographical details. Sample: a small group of 5 year old ESL learners FINDINGS: The analytical framework which was used to examine data gathered from the linguistic environment of the subjects of this research study constituted the parameters of contex, learners, teachers and curriculum. These four parameters are held to be significant and operative in the learning environment. A2

16. METHODOLOGY: observation and flexible and video-recorded interview SAMPLE : 8 students FINDINGS: the four components of Schoenfeld’s framework: heuristics, resources, control and belief contribute to the success of problem solving. ______________________________________________________________ METHODOLOGY: Observation and audio-taped interview DATA ANALYSIS: The findings from the study provided a metalanguage for understanding, appreciating and interacting pedagogically with the potential complexity of students’ composing processes that incorporate popular culture. Coding  by cross case analysis of students’ composition FINDINGS: Popular culture created an impact on the child’s composition.  The child used the  readily available  images, use available design for series of comic and redesign the available design. A3 A4

17. METHODOLOGY: The study is a descriptive case study (Yin, 2002) conducted in a sixth-grade social studies classroom. The participant in this case study were Sarah, a 12 year old sixth grader and her social studies teacher Claire O’Reilly. This case study is done over a period of one year SAMPLE : 8 students DATA ANALYSIS: classroom observations, interviews, and comprehension assessments were audio-taped. Field notes FINDINGS: In relation to the study, Mrs. O’Reilly provided her students with reading tasks and instruction throughout the year. Reading tasks accounted for 80% of the total observations and included reading and discussing texts and completing individual and group assignments that utilized text. Mrs. O’Reilly also held a cognitive, print-centric view of reading and believed students could become successful readers if they learned the strategies she taught and applied them during reading and continuously wanted them to become “active readers”.
