“…Research on family and gender issues has analyzed intimate partner violence (IPV) reaching different conclusions (Teaster et al, 2006;Valls et al, 2008Valls et al, , 2016Yount and Li, 2009;Martin et al, 2013;Medrano et al, 2017;Vidu et al, 2017). One of these conclusions concerns on the central role that socialization process has in the reproduction of this problem.…”

One of the explanatory factors for the perpetuation of intimate partner violence (IPV) is the socialization process. There is broad literature on the role of family in socializing gender roles and the influence on reproducing IPV. However, less research has been developed on the effects of communicative acts in the family environment as a protective or risk factor in front of IPV. This article presents sound evidence confirming the presence of language of ethics that is reproducing stereotyped models of attraction in heterosexual relationships, which empties good people of attractiveness and indirectly contributes to maintain the link between desire and aggressiveness. The language of ethics is characterized by integrating speech acts that exclusively include ethics and exclude desire when talking about egalitarian boys or men. To analyze this reality, a qualitative study has been conducted framed in the communicative methodology. This methodology has been recommended by the European Commission to conduct research on vulnerable groups and social inequalities, which has the aim to advance knowledge on social transformation. Drawing on this approach, three different data-collection techniques have been implemented: in-depth interviews, daily-life stories and focus groups. The fieldwork includes a sample of 52 young men and women between the ages of 18 and 23 from a vocational training high school, and 4 fathers and 4 mothers of some of these young people. The findings confirm the existence of a model of socialization that replicates family relations based on the maintenance of the double standards. Thus, mothers used to employ the language of ethics with their daughters fostering a controversial effect, that is, the latter prefer to start affective and sexual relationships with boys who are aggressive and not egalitarian. On the other hand, fathers used to employ language of desire with their sons stimulating the performance of chauvinist behaviors that denigrate women and girls.

“…After that, she took training courses and even worked for the gender project. This example demonstrates the power of making the problem visible in transforming a personal situation as well as changing other personal stories (Valls et al, 2016). In this sense, Sonia explains that, in a later workshop when another woman explained a similar case, "because I had learned it from Pollyana, this for me was a life-changing experience, because I had seen similar issues."…”

WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing) is a global research-policy network that seeks to improve the status of the working poor, especially women, in the informal economy. The members of this network are individual researchers, individual development practitioners, and organizations of informal workers, which total more than 175 affiliates in 85 countries. Social researchers involved in the network conducted qualitative fieldwork in these communities and monitor the social impact of research. The researchers created spaces for dialogue and collected workers’ impact stories through diverse qualitative tools and in different contexts, especially narratives and focus groups. The aim was to increase the visibility of informal workers, their living and working conditions, and their personal experience with regard to the social impact of urban policies. Through communicative daily life stories to social researchers working at WIEGO, this article analyzes how they are socially impacting the lives of informal workers. Based on this connection, all information related to social impact is interpreted through a communicative approach, connecting the stories of the social researchers and the interpretation of informal workers’ lives to evidence-based actions.

“…One first step is to break the silence in those spaces where silence still prevails. This is the case of violence against women in Spanish Universities (Valls, Puigvert, Melgar & Garcia-Yeste, 2016), research evidences are contributing to this aim. There is a wide list of examples of research that are addressing some of the priorities set out by society in different scientific fields with the corresponding evidences of their success.…”

Despite much research done on language learning textbooks, there still exist several questions unanswered about what these textbooks' contents are about. This study is thus an attempt to investigate the 15 reading passages of "Ready for First Certificate of English" (FCE) in the light of schema theory. In doing so, the microstructural approach to schema theory was taken into the account which led to the classification of 8617 schema tokens into the three main categories of syntactic, semantic, and parasyntactic domains. Running the chi-square test revealed that the domains differ significantly from each other regarding both their types (X 2 = 2869.9, p< 0.05) and tokens (X 2 = 1704, p< 0.05) which lent support to their psychological reality. In addition, the descriptive analysis of the schemata demonstrated that reading passages are heavily outweighed by semantic types (80.7%), whereas syntactic and parasyntactic types formed only about 6% and 12.4% of the textbook, respectively. The pedagogical implication of the study is discussed and further suggestions are put forward.Keywords: schema theory, microstructural approach, semantic domain, syntactic domain, parasyntactic domain RIMCIS -International and Multidisciplinary Journal of Social Sciences Vol. 6 No.1 March 2017 pp. 1-22 Atena Attaran Ferdowsi University of Mashhad ResumenA pesar que los libros de texto para el aprendizaje de idiomas se ha investigado mucho, aún hay varias cuestiones sin responder acerca de la temática de su contenido. Este estudio es, pues, un intento de investigar los quince fragmentos de lectura del "Ready for First Certificate of English" (FCE) a la luz de la teoría del esquema. De esta manera, se tuvo en cuenta una perspectiva microestructural de la teoría del esquema lo que condujo a la clasificación de 8617 muestras de esquemas en las tres principales categorías de los dominios sintáctico, semántico y parasintáctico. La prueba del chi-cuadrado mostró que los dominios difieren significativamente los unos de los otros teniendo en cuenta tanto su tipo (X2=2869.9, p<0.05) como su muestra (X2=1704, p<0.05) lo que condujo a reforzar su realidad psicológica. Así mismo, el análisis descriptivo de los esquemas demostró que los fragmentos de lectura están fuertemente sobreponderados por los tipos semánticos (80.7%), mientras que que los tipos sintáctico y parasintáctico conforman sólo alrededor del 6% y el 12.4% respectivamente de los libros de texto. Se debaten las implicaciones pedagógicas del estudio y se avanzan sugerencias para futuras investigaciones.Palabras clave: teoría del esquema, perspectiva microestructural, dominio semántico, dominio sintáctico, dominio parasintáctico Sciences, 6(1) 3 he saliency of textbooks in English language teaching (ELT henceforth) classes cannot be ignored due to their importance in providing language input and practices for language learners (Richards, 2001).
