International conference paper presentations: A multimodal analysis to determine effectiveness

International conference presentations represent one of the biggest challenges for academics using English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). This paper aims to initiate exploration into the multimodal academic discourse of oral presentations, including the verbal, written, non-verbal material (NVM) and body language modes. It offers a Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) and multimodal framework of presentations to enhance mixed-disciplinary ELF academics' awareness of what needs to be taken into account to communicate effectively at conferences. The model is also used to establish evaluation criteria for the presenters' talks and to carry out a multimodal discourse analysis of four well-rated 20-min talks, two from the technical sciences and two from the social sciences in a workshop scenario. The findings from the analysis and interviews indicate that: (a) a greater awareness of the mode affordances and their combinations can lead to improved performances; (b) higher reliance on the visual modes can compensate for verbal deficiencies; and (c) effective speakers tend to use a variety of modes that often overlap but work together to convey specific meanings. However, firm conclusions cannot be drawn on the basis of workshop presentations, and further studies on the multimodal analysis of ‘real conferences’ within specific disciplines are encouraged.

Institute of Public Health in Ireland's (IPH) Open Access Statement

This document states the Institute of Public Health in Ireland’s (IPH) commitment to an Open Access policy and outlines how it implements that policy. "Open Access is the immediate, online, free availability of research outputs without restrictions on use commonly imposed by publisher copyright agreements. Open Access includes the outputs that scholars normally give away for free for publication; it includes peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers and data of various kinds."1 The Open Access (OA) movement aims to: Provide access to scientific outputs in publications that are freely available Foster the adoption of open access publication models

A productivity map of cognitive pretest methos for improving survey questions

Interest in cognitive pretest methods for evaluating survey questionnaires has been increasing for the last three decades. However, analysing the features of the scientific output in the field can be difficult due to its prevalence in public and private institutes whose main mission is not scientific research. The aim of this research is to characterize the current state of scientific output in the field by means of two bibliometric studies for the period from 1980 to 2007. Study 1 analysed documents obtained from the more commonly used bibliographic databases. Study 2 supplemented the body of documents from Study 1 with documents from non-indexed journals, conference papers, etc. Results show a constant growth in the number of publications. The wide dispersion of publication sources, together with the highlighted role of the public and private institutions as centres of production, can also be identified as relevant characteristics of the scientific output in this field.

Historias de vida en educación: biografías en contexto

[spa] Esta publicación recoge los trabajos presentados en las I Jornadas de Historias de Vida en Educación: Cuestiones epistemológicas, metodológicas, éticas y de formación que, organizadas por el grupo de investigación consolidado ESBRINA (Subjetividades y entornos educativos contemporáneos -2009SGR 503), se celebraron en el Departamento de Didáctica y Organización Educativa de la Universidad de Barcelona los días 10 y 11 de junio de 2010.A las mismas asistieron unas 50 personas -docentes e investigadores universitarios y estudiantes de máster y doctorado de España, Portugal, México, Chile, Italia, Francia y Brasil- quienes, después de una introducción por parte de las personas que coordinaban los temas, debatieron con intensidad las cuestiones que emergieron de la lectura de las contribuciones que algunos de los participantes enviaron previamente. Con posterioridad, la mayoría revisaron sus presentaciones para acomodarla al formato de esta publicación.
