Volume 45 (2007)

Number 1
The feature article in this issue focuses on the history and significance of U.S. coins. A poetry activity complements this feature. Additional articles discuss integrating skills with critical thinking, the exploration of movie content, the use of the reflective observation model for in-service teacher trainees, and classroom response projects on HIV/AIDS with an example from Zambia.


Number 2
This special issue, available in print only, focuses on developing thematic learning units in EFL classrooms. The process for utilizing the five-step system is discussed in detail, and six separate lesson plans are included.


Number 3
State and county fairs, the topic of this issue’s feature article, are an American tradition that highlight everything from livestock to rollercoaster rides. A corresponding lesson plan simulates “A Day at the Fair.” Other articles discuss storytelling, student-centered teaching in large classes, students as textbook authors, and using practice posters in EFL programs.


Number 4
This issue showcases the U.S. National Park System. The feature article is coupled with a lesson plan on preservation or “going green.” Other articles cover replacement performance role-plays, the paradigm shift from paper-and-pencil tests to performance-based assessments, using story-based frameworks, microteaching for non-native speaking teacher trainees, and open classroom communication centered on civic education.
