In the field of linguistic services, the process of transcription is one of the major services requested, by the legal branch of State and Federal Government Agencies. The demand for such services is high as the court system heavily relies on written documents for official use. In time most documents transcribed could be performed by the use of sophisticated software that allows the user to accelerate the transcription process by feeding audio into a computer, allowing the software to transcribe the information.

...TITLE: Why volunteer? Factors that motivate volunteer behaviour in a church, from the perspective of the volunteer. AUTHUR: 31889638 HMPYC80 Assignment 02 Page 1 Unique Number: 657101 COVER LETTER Mr James Guilder Kenneth Copeland Ministries Milton Office Park Avocet Close Bromhoff 2196 Dear Sir In our most recent meeting you expressed some frustration at the ministries inability to retain volunteers for its various projects. I believe I may be able to assist in this regard. As you know, I am currently an honours student in Psychology at the University of South Africa (UNISA) and as such I have a special interest in the factors which motivate the behaviour of different individuals. As part of my honours course work I am required to complete a research project, which is to be submitted to my peers for review. My research topic for my course work is “Why do people do volunteer work?” Since this research topic could potentially aid the ministry in better understanding how to attract and retain volunteers it seems appropriate to propose and request permission to complete this research project on behalf of the ministry. I therefore herewith include my research proposal. I hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Candice Keen 5 Disa Street Morningside Ext 2 2196 Page 2 Sandton Why volunteer? The experiences and motivations of church volunteers. Research Project Overview and Purpose Volunteers are a vital part of how a church...

...Suffolk Community College Dr. Dawn A. Saliba English 101 Fall 2014 Essay #3 Deconstructive Analysis For this assignment, choose one aspect of pop culture—a song, a television show, an article about a celebrity, etc. and, through a critical lens that focuses on gender, race, orientation, or class, analyze how it represents a particular group of traditionally stereotyped people. The group can be any of your choosing (women, African Americans, homosexual people, etc.), but be sure that you concentrate on only one group. Remember: you need a very specific video, image, song or text to analyze. Don't just choose NWA, choose NWA's video Express Yourself as shown on Youtube. Don't just choose SouthPark, choose Episode 513: Kenny Dies. Be sure to have at least three aspects of the work to examine. If you are looking at a video, deconstruct—or break apart—the different elements (staging, casting, costuming, etc.) and analyze the way your group is represented. If you 're working with anything regarding text, be sure to include quotations! Look at different lyrics of the song or elements of the dialogue or plot. Be thorough in your analysis. Discuss whether the work depicts your group in a positive or negative light. Determine whether it reinforces or tears down pre-established stereotypes. What do you believe its effect on society is? Because you'll be working with outside sources here, you'll need to cite them in your Works Cited page. You will need to save...

...VARK Analysis Rhonda Chrestman Grand Canyon University Family Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V-0191 Barbara Trabelsi November 17, 2013 VARK Analysis VARK is an instructional preference model of a learning styles inventory that differentiates students by the way in which they best acquire information (Marcy, 2001, para. 3). Neil D. Fleming developed the VARK questionnaire in1987 to help students become better learners and to improve the way teachers teach and develop their courses. VARK is about modality preference or the preferences that we each have for taking in and expressing learning (Fleming, n.d., para. 5). VARK is an acronym for visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic preference modalities. It is made up of a questionnaire that determines a person’s sensory modality preferences (Marcy, 2001, para. 4). A student may have a preference for one modality or be multimodal. A learner’s preferences do not necessarily equal what they consider to be their strengths (Marcy, 2001, para. 4). The VARK questionnaire was easy to take, informative and gave strategies to improve study habits and increase learning. After taking the questionnaire the results were calculated and came out as follows: aural-ten; kinesthetic-four; read/write-three; visual-one. Aural (or hearing) was the learning preference that was preferred. After reading about the various preferences and their study strategies the results were determined to be accurate. Aural learners should take in...

...given to a family of portable MP3 players from Apple Inc. "MP3" is a frequent file format for electronic audio files. From an educational perspective the use of podcasts are limitless. Since creating podcasts is fairly easy and inexpensive, instructors can easily use them for delivery of supplemental information or review of previously covered material. Podcasts can also be used for acquiring new and supplemental knowledge from expert sources on the web. Listening to podcasts provides learners with different learning activities in addition to readings and lectures thus reaching a wider audience and supporting a broader range of learning styles. This paper will focus on the questions of what podcasts are, why they are useful in higher education, and, most importantly, how faculty and students can use podcasts to enhance learning experiences. Advocates of podcasting believe that it can offer unique educational benefits to learners. One of the earliest reports describing the potential of podcasting in education was by Clark and Walsh (2004). They highlighted that "listening is instinctual, [but] reading and writing are not" (p. 5) - that linguistic psychologists have found that unlike reading and writing, children do not learn how to understand the spoken word, but are hard- wired with the skill (Chan and Lee 2005). Similarly, Durbridge (1984) stressed the advantages of audio for learning. In his opinion, the spoken word can influence a learner's cognition (adding clarity and meaning)...
