Discussion 1:
Why do foreign auto companies focus on being union-free in the United State?
Why do you think Honda implemented its restrictive hiring policy? Is it an anti-union tactic? Is it discriminatory? Should Honda’s restrictive hiring policy be illegal? Is it ethical?

Watch the video and answer questions: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vus4b8FRTKM)
What were the working conditions like? Search the Internet for information on sweatshops in the 21st century. How do these compare to sweatshops of the early 20th century? If modern sweatshops are a problem, what should be done?
Discussion 3:
The major union federations in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain are the AFL–CIO (http://www.aflcio.org), Canadian Labour Congress (http://www.canadianlabour.ca/about-clc), and the Trades Union Congress (http://www.tuc.org.uk), respectively. Explore their websites, or those of individual unions, and look for examples of the different types of union roles outlined in this chapter. Compare the sites of the three major federations to that of the Industrial Workers of the World (http://www.iww.org).
In the history of America’s trade and labor unions, the most famous union remains the American Federation of Labor (AFL), founded in 1886 by Samuel Gompers. Unions are harmful because they act as monopolies. As a result, union workers have little competition – so they can demand higher wages
meaningful input. Learning how to teach, how to teach and how to teach will be determined in advance, and it is aimed to have a broad vocabulary of the learners.
Many techniques such as learning vocabulary through teaching, combining old learners with new vocabulary, frequent repetition of words, formation of a deeper procedural skill, and animation are helpful (Celce-Murcia, 2001: 286-287).
Direct word learning provides effective learning in a real sense. In this way, each word is emphasized for a certain period of time and the structural, phonological and contextual features of the word. Another aim of learning vocabulary through teaching is to increase the level of consciousness of the students about certain words and to make them recognize them easily in their next encounter with those words.
Learning vocabulary through instruction leads to the beginning of a cumulative learning. Another advantage of this learning is that this type of vocabulary learning helps to learn vocabulary and helps students to acquire the ability to grasp the strategic and systematic characteristics of the language. These features can be listed as sound, word alignment, word type information, underlying concept and semantic information, and syntactic constructions (Schmitt, 2002: 42).
Only a small part of the vocabulary of a language and the semantic information of this vocabulary can be learned by teaching. The knowledge of vocabulary is so great that it is impossible to learn it all this way. Every word learned through instruction may not be able to reach the learner\’s lexical competence. For this reason, it would be wrong to expect that all of the word information will be learned this way.
4.3.1 Number of Words to Teach
When learning vocabulary through teaching, the number of vocabulary to be taught needs to be determined in advance. In this learning method, there are many questions about
