Yano, Yasukata – World Englishes, 2009
This paper takes up three topics for discussion. The first is whether the Kachruvian three-circle model can accommodate the possible change of English use (e.g. native/non-native to individual proficiency, a special talent to a basic skill). The second is what transformation English would undergo if it survives as English as an international…

Benimmas, Aicha; Kerski, Joseph; Solis, Patricia – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2011
Basic education in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) seems to be characterized by lecture methods of instruction, a lack of interdisciplinary approaches and a disconnection with local community problems.

Public school music education in the USA remains wedded to large ensemble performance. Instruction tends to be teacher directed, relies on styles from the Western canon and exhibits little concern for musical interests of students.

Parrott, Allen – Adults Learning, 2007
An oddity of the past decade is that millions of adults have actually lost rather than gained the opportunity to engage in lifelong learning.

Litowitz, Len S. – Technology Teacher, 2009
In an era when so much emphasis is being placed on the high-stakes standardized testing of fundamental subjects such as reading, writing, and math, it makes sense to demonstrate the role technology educators play in developing such fundamental knowledge and skills in youth.
