Questionnaires in Second Language Research

Construction, Administration, and Processing

Questionnaires in Second Language Research: Construction, Administration, and Processing is the first guide in the second language field devoted to the question of how to produce and use questionnaires as reliable and valid research instruments. It offers a thorough overview of the theory of questionnaire design, administration, and processing, made accessible by concrete, real-life second language research applications. This Second Edition features a new chapter on how an actual scientific instrument was developed using the theoretical guidelines in the book, and new sections on translating questionnaires and collecting survey data on the Internet. Researchers and students in second language studies, applied linguistics, and TESOL programs will find this book invaluable, and it can also be used as a textbook for courses in quantitative research methodology and survey research in linguistics, psychology, and education departments.

Academies and Educational Reform

Governance, Leadership and Strategy

Behind the headlines and controversy surrounding new academy schools, many of their principals, teachers and pupils have been quietly changing the culture of learning and achievement in some of the most disadvantaged communities in England. While successful innovation and change is not unique to academies, this book illustrates how the academy policy represents a significant opportunity to improve the life chances of their pupils. Too much attention has focused on unanswerable questions about whether academies are better or worse than their predecessor or comparable schools in their neighbourhood. Too little focus has been on what policy-makers and practitioners can learn from the different, and often conflicting, perspectives of the key players, notably sponsors, architects, principals, parents and pupils in order to create a school that can truly serve their community with distinction. "The development of Academies is a high profile initiative which has given rise to a large number of publications. However, as the analysis in this book illustrates, many of these consist either of polemic or of attempts at evaluation with limited sophistication or success. By asking the question `what can be learned from the Academies programme?' this book provides a different perspective. The range of interviews with key informants provides concrete original data around which the discussion and analysis are skilfully woven." Mike Fleming, University of Durham, UK "Not only do the authors draw upon interviews with a wide range of practitioners working in Academies, but they also give the reader access to the thinking of leading strategists in the development of their philosophy, most notably Lord Adonis. This in its own right recommends the book as a text of critical importance. More than this, however, the authors undertake a painstaking but always riveting analysis of the successes and failures of this central strategy in New Labour educational policy." Derrick Armstrong, University of Sydney, Australia

Renal Medicine, Second Edition

A Color Handbook

This is a comprehensive, authoritative, yet user-friendly guide to renal disease. More than any other subdivision of internal medicine successful nephrological practice is dependent on other specialities. The kidneys are affected by many systemic diseases. There is increased incidence of cardiovascular and neoplastic disease in patients with renal failure. Expertise is needed in renal imaging, arterial intervention and renal histopathological examination. Reflecting all these elements, the authors have compiled a practical handbook to help physicians in practice and training to diagnose and manage patients with renal disease. The format of this book follows the stages of renal disease beginning with presenting symptoms and syndromes. It goes on to cover inherited renal diseases, glomerular and systemic diseases, acute and chronic renal failure, dialysis and renal transplantation. The Handbook is of value to physicians and trainees in nephrology and internal medicine, and to medical students in their clinical years.

Application of Psycholinguistic Features to Authorship Profiling for First Language, Gender and Age Group

"Much of the fraud committed in cyberspace involves the misrepresentation of the demographic data of the perpetrator via the medium of seemly anonymous text messages. One way to address this issue is to apply techniques from the field of authorship characterisation or profiling which is the analysis of text to determine the demographic profile of the author. Most of the previous research into authorship characterisation has used counts and ratios of lexicographically based features that include words, parts of words and Parts Of Speech (POS) contained within the text. This study examines the effectiveness of classifying the first language, gender and age group of an author using a set of features developed in the psycholinguistic field (the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count - LIWC), both as a single type feature set and in combination with the lexicographically based features used in previous studies (function words, character bigrams and POS unigrams and bigrams). This study also searched for the smallest, most effective subset of each feature set that was practical, by ranking the features using three feature selection algorithms and systematically reducing the number used. In addition, the study explored the effective lower word limit for accurate classification by reducing the text size by regular increments. LIWC was found to be more effective than a similar number of any of the lexicographic feature types, and to add insight rather than noise when combined with these feature types. This held to be true for both the full and reduced text sizes for all three demographic classes examined. In addition it was found that the size of feature sets could be greatly reduced while still maintaining effective levels of classification accuracy.
