Educating towards Good Citizenship through Bilingual Children Literature Written in Arabic and in Hebrew
- Authors: Sara Zamir|Lea Baratz
  Abstract: The aim of the research has been to evaluate the contribution of the genre of bilingual literature, Arabic and Hebrew, to citizenship education. Since the Israeli society is a multicultural society comprised of both nations, Arabs and Jews who live in conflicted environment, one must regard those textbooks as civic agents. The participatory citizen actually participates in the social life of the community, at local, state and national levels by joining established systems. The justice citizen calls for attention to matters of injustice and to the importance of pursuing social goals. The content analysis procedure, based on Krrippendorff (2004), revealed that most the stories, hence, ten out the thirteen deal with the two elevated types of citizenship, namely, the participatory citizen and the justice citizen. Inspire of the fact that we are dealing with children's literature, the authors of bilingual children literature do not belittle the capacity of children to grasp their role as citizens in multicultural society.

CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES TO RESEARCH IN TESOL
- Authors: Sardar M Anwaruddin
  Abstract: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is one of the largest educational enterprises in the world. Tens of thousands of teachers—both native and non-native speakers of English—are engaged in this industry across the world. However, this large population of teachers depends heavily on researchers for their knowledge base. Although it is evident that teachers who engage in classroom research are more aware of their practices and better able to facilitate student learning, teacher-research is a minority activity in the field of TESOL. In this article, I briefly present contemporary TESOL practitioners’ views on research and a dichotomy between qualitative and quantitative approaches. Then, I discuss seven research orientations currently predominant in TESOL. I conclude the article with a recommendation that TESOL practitioners engage in action research more frequently than they currently do for their professional development.
