M .O. Obimpeh and J.A. Dankwa. Public administration – public management interface: how different is the “management” from the “administration”? Internet: (adapted)
Text CB1A2-I
The quest for universal administrative standards to
promote the effective application of public laws and policies
gave birth to the field of public administration. Woodrow Wilson
argued for a distinction between politics and administration,
arguing that the former was more concerned with democracy,
justice, and equality, while the latter was more concerned with
efficiency, as he postulated that “administration lies beyond the
proper domain of politics; administrative questions are not
political questions” (Wilson, 1887).
According to Waldo (1948), the means and measurements
of efficiency were the same for all administrations: democracy, if
it were to survive, could not afford to ignore the lessons of
centralization, hierarchy and discipline. Bureaucracy as an
organisational type has seen its heyday in the field of public
administration, owing to Woodrow Wilson’s Transfer of
Administrative Principles.
That notwithstanding, the field has gone through
paradigmatic evolution over time by a quest for management
paradigm derived from the discipline of business administration.
The management approach is said to hold the promise of future
public sector reform, replacing the administrative approach
traditionally provided by public administration. A new concept
arises when the management perspective is combined with an
emphasis on the public sector: public management.
Courses and programmes, as well as whole academic
institutions and colleges, are adapting by switching from the term
“public administration” to “public management”. Considering
the growing demands for efficiency in the public sector, the
transition from a public administration to a public management
framework seems to be the right step.
In text CB1A2-I, the word “quest”, which appears in the first and
in the third paragraphs, is synonymous with

Making Sure Students’ Struggles Are Productive
By Peg Grafwallner
While we know every learning challenge is an
empowering opportunity to grow, we also know that
message might sometimes be lost on our students.
Those learning challenges can cause some students to
become frustrated and shut down from the learning.
We need to empower our students to celebrate those
learning challenges and help them realize that obstacles
and setbacks are a valued part of the classroom
culture. We need to create a not-yet classroom where
productive struggle is encouraged and students see
themselves as capable learners and fearless risk-takers.
The not-yet approach is all about designing and creating
an authentic classroom culture that encourages the
process of learning while accepting that setbacks and
obstacles are part of that process.
EMBRACING THE STRUGGLE
Let’s start with productive struggle. According to
Jo Boaler, professor at Stanford Graduate School of
Education, “If you aren’t struggling, you aren’t really
learning. When we’re struggling and making mistakes,
those are the very best times for our brains.”
As educators we understand and appreciate the
importance of that struggle. We have often struggled
ourselves to learn something new. But because that
new learning was important to us and because we had
support in case we weren’t successful, we continued until
we achieved our goal.
So how do we create a classroom community where
students value the importance of that struggle and where
they see themselves as not-yet learners?
Here are four suggestions to help you create a
not-yet classroom.
1. Create a vigorous learning intention:
Scaffold success criteria that give students the opportunity
to make sense of what they’re supposed to know and
be able to do. Give students a chance to ask questions
about the learning intention and time to paraphrase it so
that it makes sense to them.
In my book Ready to Learn: The FRAME Model for
Optimizing Student Success, I explain, “When students
paraphrase the learning intention and success criteria,
it gives teachers a chance to discover what their students
know or understand about the learning intention.”
This discovery is critical because if students find
paraphrasing the learning intention a challenge,
this could indicate a gap in the students’ learning.
Teachers, then, can address this gap and, if necessary,
rewrite the success criteria so that the students have the
opportunity to overcome the deficit.
Scaffolding the success criteria provides a means to
motivate students and gives students an opportunity to
self-assess their understanding and determine whether
they’ve achieved that particular criterion. As students
move through the success criteria, there’s a sense of
empowerment – they know they’re heading successfully
toward the fulfillment of the learning intention. If they
haven’t met a specific criterion, however, the teacher can
dedicate time so that students are able to work in small
groups with their peers or one-on-one with their teacher
for more support in meeting that criterion.
2. Eliminate the word failure from your vocabulary:
As an example, if your essay directions asked students to
write a thesis paragraph and a student turned in a body
paragraph, did the student fail the assignment?
The student fell short of the goal of writing a thesis
paragraph, but there certainly was some degree of
understanding, since the student was able to write an
analytical body paragraph. Make allowances for that and
offer positive guidance.
3. Be transparent in your introduction of the work:
Don’t sugarcoat the assignment or project by telling
your students it’s “so easy” or that everyone will “get it.”
On the contrary, tell your students the task will be difficult,
but the work they’re about to do is worthy of their time
and their talent.
Let students know they’ll encounter setbacks and
obstacles as a part of learning that task, but with support
from you, their classmates, and various teacher-chosen
resources, students will be able to meet that challenge
and work toward mastery of the goal.
4. Give students the time and space they need to be
successful: Create learning opportunities to normalize
development and empower students to realize that
learning takes time and that mastery isn’t the end of
growth. We’re all working within parameters of schedules,
and those schedules dictate the time spent on learning.
Often those schedules are determined by mandates
beyond our control, but there are ways we can offer time
and space within our own classrooms.
To add in extra time, maybe the lesson covers two class
periods instead of one; or maybe the teacher is able to
co-teach with another educator to assist students who
might need extra help, therefore moving the learning at a
more structured pace.
To offer extra space, perhaps the teacher and students
could utilize the library or auditorium to give students
more room to create groups or pods of learning;
or maybe the teacher is able to create learning
situations that move beyond the classroom walls through
the use of virtual field trips. We’ve seen the curiosity and
wonder in our students as they devour something that
piques their interest because they have the time and the
space to dig deep into something of relevance to them.
Where each student is on their learning journey at any
given time is a result of situations and experiences that
might often be beyond our control. We know that high
expectations don’t mean anything if the learning process
doesn’t support achieving them.
Designing classrooms and routines that normalize
productive struggle as part of the learning process gives
students the opportunity to meet those high expectations
within a supportive yet challenging classroom community.
The conjunction therefore in “or maybe the teacher is
able to co-teach with another educator to assist students
who might need extra help, therefore moving the learning
at
a more structured pace” can be replaced by

The 1920s: 'Young women took the struggle for freedom into their personal lives
(1º§) Two years after the Representation of the People Act 1918, the Times published grave warnings against moves to extend voting rights to women under 30. Mature females might now engage with politics, but the "scantily clad, jazzing flapper to whom a dance, a new hat or a man with a car is of more importance than the fate of nations" must never be entrusted with a vote.
(2º§) The fast, frivolous flapper of the 20s was partially a cultural stereotype, but she was also a focus of serious debate. With her short skirts and cigarettes, her cocktails, sexiness and sass, she was not only offensive to the men at the Times, but also a concern to older feminists, who saw in her pleasure-seeking, taboo-breaking ways a younger generation's disregard of all for which the suffragettes had fought.
(3º§) But if the politics of feminism seemed less important to the "flapper generation", this was partly because young women were taking the struggle for freedom into their personal lives. Ideas of duty, sacrifice and the greater good had been debunked by the recent war; for this generation, morality resided in being true to one's self, not to a cause. Towards the end of the decade, some feminists would argue that women's great achievement in the 20s was learning to value their individuality.
(4º§) Personal freedoms remained dependent on public reform and active UK feminists such as the Six Point Group continued to campaign. Women were given electoral equality with men in 1928; legislation brought equality in inheritance rights and unemployment benefits; and women profited from the Sex Discrimination (Removal) Act, which, in 1919, had given them access to professions such as law.
(5º§) Changes in work patterns were dramatic, with a third of unmarried women moving into paid employment across an expanding range of jobs in medicine, education and industry. Mass employment also made women a consumer power. Fashion was one of several industries that expanded rapidly to meet their demands. While the Times considered clothes a frivolity, for women they were a daily marker of liberation: rising hemlines, sportswear and even trousers made their generation physically freer than any in modern history.
(6º§) Sexual mores were also changing. While double standards persisted, a significant number of women were beginning to claim the same licence as men. There were small steps of encouragement, too, with divorce made easier by the Matrimonial Causes Act 1923 and contraception made more readily available by the Marie Stopes mail-order service. The flapper generation may have been comparatively apolitical and self-absorbed, but, as they puzzled out what freedom meant and tested their personal limits, they were broaching issues that would be hotly debated during the 60s and 70s.
Judith Mackrell is the Guardian's dance critic and the author of books including Flappers: Six Women of a Dangerous Generation

Language teachers, like other teachers, had to quickly
rethink priorities and means of delivery in response to the
Covid-19 pandemic as well as measures to manage the pandemic.
It isn’t surprising then that some of the findings in our 2021
survey relate to the pandemic.
Language teaching was suspended by local education
boards at one in five primary schools in January 2021 due to
Covid-19, and the impact has been felt more acutely in deprived
areas. Teachers in state secondary schools report that two in five
pupils in Key Stage 3 (lower secondary) did not engage with
language learning during the first national lockdown, leading to
time lost to language learning for a lot of pupils.
Dr Ian Collen said that “the most disadvantaged pupils are
most likely to have been negatively affected by the impact of
Covid-19, experiencing greater disruption to their language
learning and fewer international opportunities. Looking to the
future, schools should consider giving more curriculum time to
languages, as well as more opportunities to use languages in real
life, such as visits abroad.”
Many teachers reported that they cannot wait to get back
to face-to-face teaching in the classroom. Despite the barriers
they have faced over the past year, it is encouraging to see how
they pivoted to remote learning during the national lockdowns.

ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
It is a common disorder that often results in learning difficulties.
People with this disorder act impulsively and are easily
distracted. They may also exhibit hyperactive behavior. While
some specialists consider ADHD a behavioral disorder, others
call it a cognitive disorder.
The cause of ADHD is unknown. However, brain scans
indicate that it may be caused by abnormal size, function, and
form of the brain’s frontal lobe. There may also be an imbalance
of chemicals in the brain. ADHD is believed to be inherited in
most cases, but it is also prevalent in premature babies and
children who have experienced head injuries.
The disorder ADD (attention deficit disorder) was
renamed ADHD to account for the “hyperactivity” that is often
one of the major symptoms found in people with the disorder.
The disability can exist without the presence of hyperactivity, in
which case it is referred to as a subset of ADHD called ADD.
Both terms are often used to describe the same disorder.
Children can exhibit ADHD symptoms at a very young
age, and are often diagnosed before the age of seven. On the
other hand, some adults do not realize they have this disorder
until their own children are diagnosed with it. Some symptoms,
such as hyperactivity, may be less severe as a child ages and
learns coping mechanisms.

English as a Lingua Franca
A number of researchers have studied conversations in English as a Lingua Franca and have noted a number of somewhat surprising characteristics, including:
• Non-use of third person present simple tense -s (She look very sad).
• Interchangeable use of the relative pronouns who and which (a book who, a boy which).
• Omission of articles where they are mandatory in native-speaker English.
• Increasing of redundancy by adding “inexistent” prepositions (We have to study about…, The article treats of…).
• Pluralisation of nouns which are considered uncountable in native-speaker English (informations, staffs).
The evidence suggests that non-native speakers are not conforming to a native English standard. Indeed they seem to get along perfectly well despite the fact that they miss things out and put things in which they ‘should not do’. Not only this, but they are actually better at ‘accommodating’ - that is, negotiating shared meaning through helping each other in a more cooperative way - than, it is suggested, native speakers are when talking to second language speakers (Jenkins 2004). In other words, non-native speakers seem to be better at ELF communication than native speakers are.

Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate
change, we usually think ________________how it is going

animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had

under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.

Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate
change, we usually think ________________how it is going
to affect humans. However, we need to think about
animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had
no natural enemy apart _______________________man, but is now
under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.

definitions.
Column 1 Words 1. extinction (paragraph 1) 2. apart from (paragraph 1) 3. starve (paragraph 2) 4. melts (paragraph 2) 5. debate (paragraph 4)

Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming
which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and
features ordinary people rather than professional
actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or
“heightened” documentary. Although the genre has
existed in some form or another since the early years
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates
from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television
programming formats, _____________game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning
programmes produced in Japan _____________ the 1980s and
1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), _____________surveillance-focused productions such __________ Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in
certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other
post-production techniques.
Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability
to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales.
Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also
reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The
Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world
in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed
with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to
describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It
really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.
Match the words on column 1 with their definitions on column 2.
Column 1 Words 1. portray 2. frantic 3. outwardly 4. dozen
Column 2 Definitions ( ) on the outside: externally. ( ) a group or set of twelve. ( ) describe (someone or something) in a particular way. ( ) wild or distraught with fear.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.
