Studies on vocal learning must examine not only what is learned but also how the form of input affects the learning process. Research on learning suggests that input is acquired most readily if it is 'natural'-what psychologists term referential, contextually applicable, and socially interactive.

Over the past few years the Montreal World Film Festival has continued to increase its programming of films by African directors. The 1991 edition, which ran from August 22-September 2, was certainly no exception. I happened to turn on the television to the French station and caught Societe Radio Canada’s “official” review of Laafi by Pierre Yameogo of Burkina Faso. The reviewers, Chantal Jolis and Rene Homier-Roy, dismissed Yameogo’s portrayal of a current African problem—braindrain—as weak...

The Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at the University of South Africa (Unisa—a distance teaching university) has, over the years, been struggling with the twin problems of lack of staff and a difficult subject to teach adequately using only the traditional medium (the written or printed word) employed at Unisa. The article describes the rationale for choosing computer-aided instruction (CAI) to address both problems.

African Americans have affiliated with Catholicism and Catholic schools in the United States since the beginning of the colonial era. Records document that some of the earliest African-Caribbean settlers in the colonies professed Catholicism in the very early 1500s (Davis, 1990).

An operations research study was conducted to compare the effect of two different levels of intensification (high and medium) with a comparison group of mobile...

Most African Americans have embraced the spirit of these reforms, but many ultimately reach the conclusion that mainstream education can never fulfill this promise because it is designed and controlled by another group to...

Chi-square analysis was also done to assess differences by age. Differences...
