IPH EXERCISE

Exercise 4: Forces of globalization have acted on education internationally, creating greater standardization in norms of teaching and learning. There has always been ....1.... (considerable / countable / unforeseeable / unstable) similarity between schools across context: the curriculum, for example has been shown ....2.... (being divided / to divide / to be dividing / to be divided) between language, mathematics, science and the arts in a comparable way in schools around the world. Likewise, school buildings in terms of their architecture share remarkable similarities internationally, ....3.... (for a result / without a result / as a result / resulted as) of shared patterns of teaching and learning (although facilities and resources differ significantly.) In recent years, globalization has created increased opportunities for the 'borrowing' of education policy and practice, and ....4.... (duplicated / exempted / generated / dispensed) further uniformity across national contexts. ....5.... (Anywhere / Somewhere / Everywhere / Nowhere) has the internationalization of education been more apparent than in the higher education sector. The move to the internationalization of higher-education policy and practice ....6.... (was initially driving / had initially driven / was initially driven / initially drove) by increased student mobility, and the desire of universities to attract students from overseas. #RWFIB #Apeuni_159 @Iran_pte_house

Exercise 3: The modern research ship takes its origins from the early exploration voyages such as HMS Endeavour and HMS Challenger, both of which were converted vessels, fitted with a range of research facilities to sample and measure across a range of disciplines in extreme environments. Early research vessels were fairly basic and simplistic compared to the state-of-the-art ships we see being developed today. Gradually, the trend of converting other vessels into research ships ....1.... (was challenged / was a challenge / were challenged / will have been challenged) by the challenging demands of investigating increasingly complex areas of oceanographic research, such as physical, biological and chemical oceanography; marine geology and geophysics; ocean engineering and atmospheric science in one expedition. In order to carry ....2.... (over / out / of / through) multi-disciplinary research in extreme environments, specially designed research vessels became a requirement. Research ships are the primary source of oceanographic observations and ....3.... (will have remained / remaining / remains / will remain) so for the foreseeable future. As time ....4.... (flies away / goes on / disappears / moves), science is likely to be conducted in increasingly remote and environmentally challenging areas, including the polar seas, so the ability to operate with minimal interruptions from the natural elements remains unchanged from the days of the Challenger Expedition. #RWFIB #Apeuni_274 @Iran_pte_house

Exercise 2: The teaching of languages could be revolutionised following ground-breaking research by Victoria University, New Zealand, PhD graduate Paul Sulzberger. Dr Sulzberger has found that the best way to learn a language is through frequent exposure to its sound patterns--even if you haven't a ....1.... (dew / claw / clue / due) what it all means. "However crazy it might sound, just listening to the language, ....2.... (but also / all together / even though / if so) you don't understand it, is critical. A lot of language teachers may not accept that," he says. "Our ability to learn new words is directly related to how often we have been exposed to the particular combinations of the sounds which make ....3.... (down / up / off / on) the words. If you want to learn Spanish, for example, frequently listening to a Spanish language radio station on the internet will dramatically ....4.... (evaluate / exaggerate / describe / boost) your ability to pick up the language and learn new words." Dr Sulzberger's research challenges existing language learning theory. His main hypothesis is that simply listening to a new language sets up the structures in the brain ....5.... (requiring / required / directed / to require) to learn the words. #RWFIB #Apeuni_234 @Iran_pte_house
