Conceptualizing Learning Style Modalities for ESL/EFL Students.

Ann C. Wintergerst; Andrea DeCapua; Marilyn Ann Verna

Abstract A major hurdle in assessing the learning styles of English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL) students is the development of an instrument with established validity and reliability. This article reports the results of testing a newly developed learning styles instrument [System 29 (2001) 385; Wintergerst et al., TESL Canada Journal Revue TESL du Canada (in press)] on three groups of language learners: Russian EFL students, Russian ESL students, and Asian (specifically Chinese, Korean, and Japanese) ESL students to determine their learning style preferences. Results indicate that these students learn English under three modalities: Project Orientation, Group Activity Orientation, and Individual Activity Orientation. Findings further reveal that these three groups of language learners clearly prefer group activity above individual work, with the Russian EFL and Asian ESL students favoring group work and project work. The outcome of this study suggests that this instrument holds promise as a viable assessment tool for determining selected learning styles of ESL/EFL students and has sound implications for classroom teachers.

Effective Parental Influence: Academic home climate linked to children's achievement

James Reed Campbell; Marilyn Ann Verna

What constitutes effective parenting? An international consensus has evolved that effective parenting makes important contributions to childrens achievement. But the fundamental question is what constitutes effective parenting. Most of the research that has been done in answering this question has been done within existing school frameworks inside the educational bureaucracy. We answer this question by taking a different tact. We conducted international qualitative/quantitative studies directly with families of high-achieving gifted children. These studies were conducted in Scandinavian, European, and Asian countries, as well as in the USA. All of this work found that effective parents develop Academic Home Climates. Children prosper when these Academic Home Climates mesh with the academic climates found in their schools. This article illustrates our cross-cultural methods and shows how the Academic Home Climate generates a series of beliefs, attitudes, and motivations that lead to higher achievement.

The Talent Development of American Physics Olympians

Annie Xuemei Feng; James Reed Campbell; Marilyn Ann Verna

Abstract Fifty-five United States Physics Olympians and their parents participated in the study to answer three research questions: Did the United States Physics Olympians fulfill their high potential? What factors contributed to or hindered the development of the Olympians’ talent? What was the impact of the Olympiad program? The results showed that these Olympians produced 328 research products and patents and over 55% of them have or are pursuing a Ph.D. degree. Several home and school influences were found to contribute to the Physics Olympians’ talent development. The overall evaluation of the Olympiad program was positive, although some hindrances were identified.
