The article aims to 1) focus on welfare opportunities near the conflictzone in Turkey. Providing a good life for children under every condition belongs tothe responsibilities of both, national and international communities. The CapabilityApproach Theory seems to promote such responsibilities at best. However, theTurkish example does not show effects as satisfactory as the German examplewith Turkish migrant children, which is discussed in this article and illustratedwith research findings provided by the author.

This article continues the well-established discussion of the ethics of TESOL by adopting a praxis perspective that views TESOL as holistic, ethical and moral task, rather than a technical task of delivering learning outcomes in a new language. This article is informed by the authors’ empirical research in Finnish preparatory classes, and in intensive English language schools in Australia, including interviews with teachers, students and educational leaders. Drawing on literature and this research we consider how English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) and Finnish as a Second Language (F2) teaching can promote “a good life” for the individual learner and human kind.

The present paper reports on a study of the continued word associa-tions to eight stimulus words in Dutch and Turkish by Turkish migrant children living in the Netherlands. For three out of the eight stimulus words the meanings in the two languages were not complete-ly overlapping. Two written association tasks were administered with an interval of five months. Seventeen Turkish children (about 12 years old) participated in the study. It was found that: - Interlingual responses hardly occurred (only a few instances of Dutch or Dutch-like words in the Turkish task). - The children gave more responses (number of tokens) in the Tur-kish than in the Dutch version (difference not significant at 5% level; significant at 10% level), suggesting a larger vocabulary in Turkish. - The diversity of the responses was slightly higher in the Dutch version of the task than in the Turkish version. - The level of linguistic-cognitive development as indicated by the proportion of paradigmatic and categorical responses was about the same in the two languages with a slight bias in favour of Turkish. - The number of equivalent responses in the two tasks was 36,8%. - For five of the eight stimulus words ('happiness' and 'city') the responses in the two languages differed strikingly. Probably the response behaviour was influenced by social-cultural factors related to each language. - For one of the three semantically not completely overlapping words (Dutch: dochter, and Turkish kiz, 'daughter'/'girr) the Dutch res-ponses (frequent use of kinship terms) differed strongly from the Turkish responses (few kinship term)

Although philosophers and theologians have emphasized the centrality of inner peace for the good life, this concept has not generally been included in research on human flourishing. The authors argue that inner peace contributes to a more complete form of flourishing for both religious and secular people. They then propose a new instrument, the Inner Peace Scale, to measure inner peace, and they provide an initial psychometric evaluation of the instrument based on five empirical studies. The authors distinguish their scale from related measures, such as contentment, serenity, or tranquility. Engagement with literature from the social sciences and the humanities, along with the authors’ research findings, suggest that inner peace is comprised of three dimensions: acceptance of loss, transcendence of hedonism and materialism, and inner balance and calmness. Greater attention to the dimension of transcending hedonism and materialism may prove especially helpful in advancing the field, particularly in consumeristic societies.

Auf der Suche nach einer Erklärung für die spezifischen Arbeitsmarktnachteile von Jugendlichen türkischer Herkunft / In Search of an Explanation for the Specific Labor Market Disadvantages of Second Generation Turkish Migrant Children

Turkish Migrant

ZusammenfassungZahlreiche Studien haben für den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt mittlerweile belegt, dass die Gruppe der Türken innerhalb der zweiten Generation eine gewisse Sonderrolle einzunehmen scheint: Während die schlechteren Positionierungen der Nachkommen anderer ehemaliger Arbeitsmigranten weitgehend durch formale Bildungsqualifikationen zu erklären sind, bleiben für die türkischen Jugendlichen auch unter deren Kontrolle in der Regel erhebliche Nachteile bestehen. Dies haben Holger Seibert und Heike Solga jüngst in dieser Zeitschrift noch einmal bestätigt. Wie viele andere Autoren führen sie letztlich eine spezifische Diskriminierung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt als Erklärung an. Dagegen wird in diesem Beitrag argumentiert, dass daneben noch weitere potenzielle Ursachen des spezifisch türkischen Nachteils denkbar sind, die theoretisch nicht weniger plausibel sind. Insbesondere ist hier der Mangel an hilfreichen Ressourcen zu nennen, etwa Unterstützungsleistungen seitens der Eltern oder vor allem auch Aufnahmeland-spezifische Kapitalien. Mit Daten des Sozioökonomischen Panels (SOEP) wird gezeigt, dass sich die von Seibert und Solga berichteten spezifisch türkischen Nachteile in der Tat schon weitgehend durch die ethnische Zusammensetzung der Freundschaftsnetzwerke und vor allem durch unzureichende deutsche Sprachkenntnisse erklären lassen. Dieser Befund hat auch vor strengeren kausalanalytischen Betrachtungen Bestand, die durch den Längsschnittcharakter der Daten möglich sind.

Ebp Implementation

Purpose The current investigation is a follow-up from a previous study examining child language diagnostic decision making in school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs). The purpose of this study was to examine the SLPs' perspectives regarding the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in their clinical work. Method Semistructured phone interviews were conducted with 25 school-based SLPs who previously participated in an earlier study by Fulcher-Rood et al. 2018). SLPs were asked questions regarding their definition of EBP, the value of research evidence, contexts in which they implement scientific literature in clinical practice, and the barriers to implementing EBP. Results SLPs' definitions of EBP differed from current definitions, in that SLPs only included the use of research findings. SLPs seem to discuss EBP as it relates to treatment and not assessment. Reported barriers to EBP implementation were insufficient time, limited funding, and restrictions from their employment setting. SLPs found it difficult to translate research findings to clinical practice. SLPs implemented external research evidence when they did not have enough clinical expertise regarding a specific client or when they needed scientific evidence to support a strategy they used. Conclusions SLPs appear to use EBP for specific reasons and not for every clinical decision they make. In addition, SLPs rely on EBP for treatment decisions and not for assessment decisions. Educational systems potentially present other challenges that need to be considered for EBP implementation. Considerations for implementation science and the research-to-practice gap are discussed.
