English language needs in a rural community: Mareeba, Queensland

This volume reports on a study into the English as a second language (ESL) needs and services required in a stable rural migrant setting.

A lack of knowledge about classes prevented participation by some.

Supervision of postgraduate research in education

This book intends to promote discussion, stimulate questions, challenge taken-for-granted assumptions and offer insights on the nature of supervision, the attendant expectations and mysteries associated with postgraduate research. The chapters address different needs and have been organised into five parts. The five broad categories are: (1) research supervision: setting the scene; (2) the experience of supervision; (3) personal accounts and reflections on doctoral supervision; (4) the ethics of supervision; and (5) the future: reconceptualisation and challenge. The articles reflect a variety of methodological approaches and perspectives. The material is primarily concerned with the academic field of education in Australia.
