Bullies in a Wired World: The Impact of Cyberspace Victimization on Adolescent Mental Health and the Need for Cyberbullying Legislation in Ohio

This Note examines cyberbullying\u27s impact on adolescents\u27 mental health and psychological development and explores an Ohio-specific legislative response to the problem. Part II addresses the urgent need for cyberbullying legislation, the inadequacy of Ohio law, and the detrimental effects that may result when juveniles are targeted by cyberbullies. Part III demonstrates how other states have reacted to the cyberbullying problem by amending already enacted bullying statutes or by creating new and specific cyberbullying laws. Part IV proposes a new cyberbullying statute that criminalizes the more extreme cases of cyberbullying, incorporates age as a sentencing factor, and introduces school-employee liability for any reckless or knowing disregard for cyberbullying instances. This section also proposes amending the current bullying statutes applicable to state boards of education. Finally, Part V provides forward-looking recommendations about how legislators, parents, and schools should respond to cyberbullying and includes concluding remarks on cyberbullying and the current legal landscape

‘Yuk, the Skin of Insects!’ Tracking Sources of Errors in Second Language Reading Comprehension

This article submitted to IUPUI ScholarWorks as part of the OASIS Project.Readers for whom English is a second language often misinterpret texts. One source for such errors is failing to accurately recognize phonemic and graphemic features, leading to interpreting a text within a framework not intended by the author. Teachers can help second language readers become more perceptive by preparing students for the material and providing practice in recognizing the text's syntactic connections

First and Second Language Use in Reading Comprehension Strategies of Japanese ESL Students

This article submitted to IUPUI ScholarWorks as part of the OASIS Project. Article reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Copyright rests with the author.Reading in a second language (L2) is not a monolingual event; L2 readers have access to their first language (L1) as they read and many use it as a strategy to help comprehend an L2 text. Due to difficulties in observing the comprehension process, little research has been conducted to try to determine what roles the L1 and L2 play in the reading strategies of L2 readers or how these roles vary at different proficiency levels. This study attempts to address these two issues. Eleven native speakers of Japanese, at two different proficiency levels, were asked to think-­aloud –in the language of their thoughts—as they were reading an English text. In retrospective interviews, subjects then listened to their tape-­recorded think-­aloud protocols and were asked to clarify and explain their thoughts. Three generalizations about L1 and L2 strategy use emerged from the data and are discussed

Designing and Evaluating a Transitional Academic Program

This article submitted to IUPUI ScholarWorks as part of the OASIS Project. Article reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Permission granted through posted policies on copyright owner’s website or through direct contact with copyright owner.The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire faced the ethical dilemma of admitting non-native English speaking immigrants and refugees who were academically at-risk, but not providing the academic and language support the students needed to succeed. This paper provides a description and an evaluation of a transitional academic program designed to address these students' language and learning needs as well as help them integrate into the university. Its success is reflected not only in strong student improvement, but in the collaboration of many university departments and units to create an efficient and cost-effective administrative structure

Understanding Direct Mail Letters as a Genre

This post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of the article submitted to IUPUI ScholarWorks as part of the OASIS Project.What makes non-profit, philanthropic discourse so persuasive has not been well explored to date. Using a specialized corpus of direct-mail letters from philanthropic organizations in five different fields, this study seeks to combine the tools of corpus analysis with the specificity of genre analysis in a way that has not been done before to provide a new perspective on a genre that is not well understood. The underlying goal is to look for a methodology that will provide much of the qualitative detail that is common to genre analysis while at the same time provide the reliability that is best assured by the quantitative power of computerized corpus analysis. Using Bhatia's approach to genre analysis (1993) and his exploratory efforts in investigating fundraising discourse (1997, 1998) as a foundation, key patterns in the rhetorical structure of direct-mail letters revealed through a large-scale corpus analysis are presented

Vector valued switching in the products of signed graphs

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled either as positive or negative. The concept of vector valued switching and balancing dimension of signed graphs were introduced by S. Hameed et al. In this paper, we deal with the balancing dimension of various products of signed graphs, namely the Cartesian product, the lexicographic product, the tensor product and the strong product
