Blogging in the classroom: a constructivist approach to teaching writing skills

by Reinig Marguerite

Blogging in the classroom is a project that used regular blogging activities as a basis to create an autonomous classroom where the learners play a central role as content producers and peer reviewers. By making the learners responsible for their own website and its content, they not only acquired the necessary ICT skills to do so, but they also had to learn how to choose topics to write about, how to research information online, and how to write for an audience. By doing this, the learners...

By analysing a broad range of Lawrence’s work including his novels, short stories and poetry, several traits that define Lawrence’s work such as motherhood, the gaze, and sex will be re-evaluated under...

“Where there is power, there is resistance” 1 Dominance and defiance of body and mind under the state of exception in dystopian literature

by Kutten Diane

In the following thesis, I examine the power relations that arise between an authoritarian government and its subjects during and after the establishment of a state of exception. In the first chapter, I explore how the individual’s voice is silenced through the dominance that is exerted upon him/her, only to be replaced by the voice of those in power. Textual analysis of four novels – George Orwell’s 1984, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, J.M....
