The primary objectives of this research article are to explore the concept of communication tools using Facebook, and to evaluate the performance of the East West University (EWU) Library Facebook page as a communication tool. The EWU Library Facebook page uses a variety of strategies and techniques to engage with its patrons. The author's intention is to examine this library Facebook page, which is explored using a case study method. This article also focuses on how Facebook facilitates collaborations between the library and the patron's community, as well as the implications for academic libraries in the future. This case study reviews the literature on the use of social networking while focusing on Facebook as a communication tool and engaging libraries in social networking. The article emphasizes the author's experience of working in an academic library to identify the main trends in providing services based on posting various topics through the Facebook page of the EWU Library, Bangladesh. The numerous issues in adapting Facebook as a communication tool and an exploration of the opportunity and drawbacks of the use of the Facebook application in academic libraries are also discussed.  相似文献   

论交际法语言教学     

向晓萍  哈红光 《安康学院学报》2004,16(4):112-114

交际教学法作为一种现代英语教学指导思想主要包括以语言形式的可能性为主的四个要素,只有通过它们才能有效地实践这种思想.为达到这种教育目的,就应该在教学模式、师生角色、材料选用、交际的目的和情景做出切合实际、有效、合理的设计.在实践过程中,由于文化差异的影响,以及在我区的外语教学应该是非二语习得的外语教学环境,所以我们应采取循序渐进的方法来实践这种思想;否则,欲速则不达.  相似文献   

试论隐逸文化对文学之影响     

张骏翚 《乐山师范学院学报》2002,17(6):28-32

隐逸化对学内容的影响，就题材言之，它扩充了学的表现范围；就主题论之，隐逸化也拓宽了学的表现对象。当然，此二，有时是不可截然分开的：隐逸化对其影响多层是同时进行的。  相似文献   

Comparing social media use,discussion, political trust and political engagement among university students in China and Hong Kong: an application of the O–S–R–O–R model     

Xueqing Li  Michael Chan 《亚洲交流杂志》2017,27(1):65-81

Adopting the Orientation–Stimuli–Reasoning–Orientation–Response (O–S–R–O–R) model of political communication effects, this study examines the mediating roles of online/offline political discussion and political trust on the relationship between social media information seeking and online/offline political participation in China and Hong Kong. Findings through structural equation modeling showed that the relationship between information seeking and online participation was mediated by online discussion for both samples. Moreover, the relationship between information seeking and offline participation was mediated by offline discussion, and offline discussion mediated the relationship between information seeking and online participation. Political trust did not mediate any of the relationships in China and Hong Kong and all significant paths involving political trust were negative. Implications of the findings for youth political participation in China and Hong Kong are discussed.  相似文献   

Bringing local voices into community revitalization: engaged communication research in Urban planning     

George Villanueva  Carmen Gonzalez  Minhee Son  Evelyn Moreno  Wenlin Liu  Sandra Ball-Rokeach 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2017,45(5):474-494

The need to better engage low-income communities affected by revitalization of the built environment has been well documented in urban planning. Guided by communication infrastructure theory (CIT), this study presents a research project that made concerted efforts at engaging neighborhoods of Northeast Los Angeles that are experiencing rapid gentrification. The project was a partnership with a multi-sector collaborative working on the revitalization of the L.A. River and its surrounding communities. This paper specifically demonstrates how CIT's social ecological orientation was applied to seek input on L.A. River and community revitalization from storytelling networks made up of residents, small businesses, and local media. We also examine the impact of this engaged research on the organizational partners of the collaborative, and their views on community engagement in revitalization. Lastly, we discuss how the lessons learned broadly speak to future opportunities and challenges that aim for communicative planning approaches to urban revitalization.  相似文献   

Communication Privacy Management: A Thematic Analysis of Revealing and Concealing Eating Disorders in an Online Community     

Anna R. Herrman  Kelly E. Tenzek 《Qualitative Research Reports in Communication》2017,18(1):54-63

This study analyzed the discourse of a pro-anorexia website, prettythin.com. Narratives and posts were thematically analyzed using communication privacy management as a framework to understand the tension between revealing and concealing an eating disorder. Two themes were constructed during data analysis: (a) personal ownership and control, with the subtheme strategies for maintaining control and (b) communication choices surrounding disclosure and two subthemes, (i) seeking to fulfill needs face-to-face and (ii) positive fulfillment of needs online. Theoretical and practical contributions are addressed in terms of how communication theory can help understand people living with eating disorders. Specifically, how these individuals manage their personal information online and face-to-face and how prettythin.com provides support to men and women with eating disorders.  相似文献   

Dimensions of Instructor Disclosure: Implications for Rhetorical and Relational Goals of Instruction     

Renee Kaufmann  Brandi N. Frisby 《Communication Research Reports》2017,34(3):221-229

There are an array of reasons why instructors view personal disclosures as beneficial for the classroom, including to demonstrate caring and to make content relevant. Using the rhetorical and relational goals of instruction theory as the theoretical model, this study tested the potential for the three dimensions of disclosure (i.e., amount, negativity, relevance) to account for variance in instructor rhetorical goals (i.e., relevance) and relational goals (i.e., caring). The results highlight the importance of relevant instructor disclosures to perceiving an instructor as achieving rhetorical and relational goals within the classroom.  相似文献   

Psychological Well-Being as a Function of Affectionate Communication and Emotional Intelligence     

Lindsey Susan Aloia  Danielle Brecht 《Communication Research Reports》2017,34(4):297-306

This study examined indicators of psychological well-being as a function of affectionate communication and emotional intelligence. Two hundred and seventeen college-aged students completed measures of expressed and received affection; mental health, happiness, self-esteem, depression, and stress; and emotional intelligence. Results indicated that expressed affection is negatively associated with stress; received affection is positively associated with mental health and self-esteem and negatively associated with depression and stress. Furthermore, results provided support for models in which emotional intelligence impacts psychological well-being after accounting for the variance explained by expressed and received affection.  相似文献
