Complicating cherished assumptions about film biography, the fifties, and female spectatorship, I Want to Live! finds male filmmakers identifying with a female protagonist in opposition to the male institutions of the media and the law in a work that aligns melodrama with realism.

Doris Day's complicated "dialogue" with her audiences varied over the decades, and endures, in a distorted way, in popular memory. This article studies the decline of her film stardom and her retirement from films as concurrent with the definitive end of the female comic as the unequivocal subject, rather than object, of comedy.
'I want to go back to the text': Response Strategies on the Reading Subtest of the New TOEFL
(Publisher of previously issued instance of this item: Copyright © 2007 SAGE Publications., 2007-04) Cohen, Andrew D.; Upton, Thomas A. (Thomas Albin)
This study describes the reading and test-taking strategies that test takers used on the ‘Reading’ section of the LanguEdge Courseware (2002) materials developed to familiarize prospective respondents with the new TOEFL. The investigation focused on strategies used to respond to more traditional ‘single selection’ multiple-choice formats (i.e., Basic Comprehension and Inferencing questions) and the new selected-response (multiple selection, drag-and-drop) Reading to Learn items. The latter were designed to simulate the academic skill of forming a comprehensive and coherent representation of an entire text, rather than focusing on discrete points in the text. Verbal report data were collected from 32 students, representing four language groups (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and ‘Other’) doing the Reading section tasks from the LanguEdge Courseware materials. Students were randomly assigned to two of the six reading subtests, each consisting of a 600–700 word text with 12–13 items, and subjects’ verbal reports accompanying items representing each of the ten item types were evaluated to determine strategy use. The findings provide insights into the response behaviors prompted by the reading tasks on the new TOEFL.

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.

‘Yuk, the Skin of Insects!’ Tracking Sources of Errors in Second Language Reading Comprehension
(COPYRIGHT 1998 College Reading and Learning Association [BREAK]This article is reproduced with permission. Further reproduction of this article in violation of the copyright is prohibited., 1998) Upton, Thomas A. (Thomas Albin)
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.
The First Quarto of Hamlet in Film: The Revenge Tragedies of Tony Richardson and Franco Zeffirelli
(Publisher of original article: Brunel University West London. EnterText may be found online at: [LINK]http://www.brunel.ac.uk/about/acad/sa/artresearch/entertext/issues[/LINK]., 2001-08) Bourus, Terri
In 1969, Tony Richardson released a filmed version of his acclaimed theatrical production of Hamlet. Twenty-one years, and many staged productions of Hamlet later, Franco Zeffirelli filmed yet another, and very different, Hamlet. Whereas Richardson’s is darkly minimal, Zeffirelli’s colourful and star-studded production is lavish in set and setting. Nicol Williamson’s intense portrayal of Hamlet is a far cry from that of Mel Gibson’s Hollywood-esque revenger. But together, these films, and other daring productions like them, demonstrated the actability of the first quarto of Hamlet as a performance text thereby helping to change its status among textual scholars as well, prompting them to reevaluate the 1603 quarto.
Case Study of the American British Cowdray School of Nursing (ABCSN)

This case study is the last of five looking at the influence of culture on fundraising activities in international non-profits. The American British Cowdray School of Nursing (ABCSN), a nonprofit school affiliated with a local Mexican hospital and university, reflects many of the fundraising practices common to Mexican non-profit organizations, which are in fact few. In Mexico, fundraising and philanthropy have never been widely practiced, a restrictive legal and tax framework inhibits fundraising activity, there is a general mistrust of nonprofits, and there is a general lack of knowledge about or skills with fundraising among nonprofit organizations. This case study examines the organizational structure and fundraising strategies of the ABCSN, and then reflects on the influence the cultural context of the organization has played on shaping them.
Designing and Evaluating a Transitional Academic Program
(© 1999 College Reading and Learning Association. [LINK]http://www.crla.net/journal.htm[/LINK]., 1999) Upton, Thomas A. (Thomas Albin)
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.
