First book dedicated to ISL that examines service learning in foreign language classroomsThis book provides a much-needed overview of the theory and practice of intercultural service learning (ISL), an approach that combines curricular learning, intercultural encounters and community service. It includes a model that outlines the essential components of this pedagogy and which is intended to serve as a foundation for practitioners developing their projects. Practical examples offer templates and inspiration, while the scholarly examination of the projects demonstrates the approach's potential. The book concludes with considerations on how to assess intercultural and democratic competences in ISL projects and practical implementation guidelines. Suitable for both in-service foreign language educators at all levels and for use in teacher training, the book provides a practical guide to a holistic pedagogy that is increasingly being used by educators keen to engage their students in an ever more interconnected world.Tables and Figures Contributors Acknowledgements Abbreviations Student Voices Michael Byram: Foreword Petra Rauschert: Introduction  Part 1: Intercultural Service Learning (ISL) – Concepts and Standards 1.1 Petra Rauschert and Jacqueline Alexander: Interculturality in the Foreign Language Classroom 1.2 Jacqueline Alexander: Defining Intercultural Service Learning 1.3 Jacqueline Alexander: Quality Standards 1.4 Jacqueline Alexander: Effects and Potential of ISL  1.5 Petra Rauschert: Critical Perspectives  1.6 Petra Rauschert: Pedagogies Related to ISL  Part 2: Theoretical Frameworks 2.1 Petra Rauschert: Integrating ISL and Intercultural Citizenship Education  2.2 Petra Rauschert: A Comprehensive Model of Intercultural Service Learning in Foreign Language Education  2.3 Petra Rauschert: Structuring ISL Projects Part 3: ISL in Practice: Ideas, Examples and Evaluation 3.1 ISL Type I (Within One Country) 3.1.1 Petra Rauschert and Claudia Mustroph: Global Peace Path  3.1.2 Jacqueline Alexander, Petra Rauschert and Michelle Stannard: Around the World in 30 Recipes 3.1.3 Ilianna Mitskopoulou: Museum Project 3.2 ISL Type II (Between Countries) 3.2.1 Petra Rauschert: Happiness – Perspectives from India and Germany 3.2.2 Petra Rauschert: Students Training Managers 3.2.3 Xinrui Chang, Petra Rauschert and Aman Verma: Wiser Decisions – An Ecopedagogical Approach Based on Literature  Part 4.

Advocates for social justice for language minoritized populations around the worldThis book honors the impactful work of Terrence G. Wiley on advancing social justice in the areas of language diversity and language policy. It brings together a group of experienced scholars to provide an overview of research and progress in three areas: heritage and community language education, ideologies of language and literacies, and language policy. The chapters cover a wide range of formal and informal learning spaces and address language policies and practices from the national to the local levels. The international appeal of Wiley’s work is represented through the rich diversity of the contributing scholars and research contexts. With an emphasis on advancing scholarship and advocacy for language minoritized populations in the United States and around the world, this book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in the fields of language education, language policy and sociolinguistics.Contributors Kellie Rolstad, Wayne Wright, Na Liu and Jeff MacSwan: Preface 1.

In What Universities Can Be, the high-profile educator Robert J. Sternberg writes thoughtfully about the direction of higher education in this country and its potential to achieve future excellence. Sternberg presents, for the first time, his concept of the ACCEL model, in which institutions of higher education are places where students learn to become Active Concerned Citizens and Ethical Leaders. One of the greatest problems in our society is a lack of leaders who understand the importance of behaving in ethical ways for the common good of all. At a time when new models of education are sorely needed, universities have the opportunity to claim the education of future leaders as their mission. In the course of laying out the ACCEL concept and how such a model might be achieved, Sternberg offers many insights into the realities of higher education as it is practiced today and suggests ways that we could move in a better direction, one that would produce graduates who make the world a better place in which to live. Sternberg''s compelling narrative and convincing argument address all aspects of universities, such as admissions, financial aid, instruction and assessment, retention and graduation, student life, diversity, finances, athletics, governance, and marketing. This book is essential reading for educators and laypeople who are interested in learning how our universities work and how they could work better.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of young learners’ additional language learningThis book provides the first comprehensive overview of young children’s language learning in pre-primary and primary education. It collates research to date on language development and pedagogy among children learning a language in addition to their home language(s) in instructional settings, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the topic and directions for further study. The book promotes a learner-centered approach to research and teaching and encourages critical reflection on how best to conduct research among children. It recognizes the substantial diversity of young language learning experiences and pays attention to individual differences and variability in children’s language development, embracing an ecological perspective sensitive to contextual factors. Closing the gap between research and practice, each chapter opens with pedagogical or policy-related questions, explores relevant theories and research findings from instructed second language acquisition, and offers discussion questions and recommended reading for further reflection and study. This will be invaluable reading for all those who are undertaking research and working with young language learners.Abbreviations Introduction Chapter 1.

Adds significantly to our understanding of meaning makingThis book presents a pragmatic perspective on the development of intercultural communicative competence and intercultural understanding by language learners in the foreign language classroom and in study abroad contexts. Using data from role-play interactions, intercultural episodes and student reflections, including both US learners of Spanish and multilingual learners of other languages, the book examines how a focus on pragmatics and metapragmatic awareness aids the development of intercultural competence. It also addresses current topics such as intercultural impoliteness, the negotiation of and reflection on speech acts at the discourse level, pragmatic competence, agency and pragmatic resistance. The book concludes with a reflection on what it means to be an intercultural speaker along with suggestions for both teaching and assessment.Figures and Tables Acknowledgements Transcription Conventions Introduction Chapter 1.

Alors qu'on vient de célébrer solennellement en janvier 2013, à Berlin, le cinquantième anniversaire du traité de l'Élysée qui a scellé la réconciliation spectaculaire entre la France et l'Allemagne, l'expression « couple franco-allemand » continue de fleurir dans les médias. S'inspirant de cette image d'actualité, l'auteur a eu l'idée de rechercher dans le passé des exemples de « couples » authentiques, unissant des partenaires nés de part et d'autre du Rhin. Plusieurs d'entre eux sont restés dans les mémoires, comme celui incarné par l'infortuné Charles VI et Isabeau de Bavière, ou celui – au destin tragique – représenté par Louis XVI et Marie-Antoinette, ou encore le couple pittoresque formé par Philippe d'Orléans, frère du roi Soleil, et son épouse Elisabeth-Charlotte de Palatinat. En plus de ces cas célèbres, plusieurs dizaines de ces unions sont présentées dans cet ouvrage, en suivant l'ordre chronologique : partant du haut Moyen âge, l'auteur évoque la Renaissance et les Temps modernes, pour en arriver à des couples franco-allemands marquants issus des milieux bourgeois ou artistiques des XIXe et XXe siècles. Il est évident que le tournant catastrophique de la guerre franco-prussienne de 1870-1871, prolongé par les années funestes des deux conflits mondiaux, a entravé pour des décennies de tels mariages « mixtes ». Fort heureusement, un élan nouveau s'est manifesté vigoureusement après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les unions franco-allemandes étant maintenant tout à fait courantes dans les deux pays.

D'après la définition du dictionnaire « Robert », les éphémérides sont des listes groupant divers évènements qui se sont produits le même jour de l'année à différentes époques. Ces évènements, plus ou moins lointains, font partie de notre histoire. Qu'ils soient politiques, scientifiques, économiques ou autres, nombreux sont ceux qui ont été à la base de la liberté et de la modernisation de notre société. Ma curiosité m'a toujours conduit à rechercher dans les journaux, les livres, les revues ou sur Internet, ces différents évènements qui ont marqué notre histoire. Ces éphémérides sont rassemblées dans ce livre et, bien qu'elles soient assez succinctes, elles correspondent à la période allant du XVI° au XX° siècle et ne concernent que la France. On y découvre la différence qui existe entre le calendrier que nous connaissons aujourd'hui et dans lequel chaque jour fait référence à un saint, et le calendrier républicain, ou calendrier révolutionnaire, qui n'a existé que très peu temps (1792 à 1806) et qui a pour références journalières les animaux, les outils ou les plantes. On peut y voir les statistiques concernant les prénoms du jour grâce aux archives de l'INSEE datant de l'année 2000. À la fin de chaque journée, est retracé brièvement l'évènement du jour ou la vie d'un personnage célèbre décédé ce jour.

Questions and answers from two great philosophersWhy is laughter contagious? Why do mountains exist? Why do we long for the past, even if it is scarred by suffering? Spanning a vast array of subjects that range from the philosophical to the theological, from the philological to the scientific, The Philosopher Responds is the record of a set of questions put by the litterateur Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi to the philosopher and historian Abu ''Ali Miskawayh. Both figures were foremost contributors to the remarkable flowering of cultural and intellectual life that took place in the Islamic world during the reign of the Buyid dynasty in the fourth/tenth century. The correspondence between al-Tawhidi and Miskawayh holds a mirror to many of the debates and preoccupations of the time and reflects the spirit of rationalistic inquiry that animated their era. It also provides insight into the intellectual outlooks of two thinkers who were divided as much by their distinctive temperaments as by the very different trajectories of their professional careers. Alternately whimsical and tragic, wondering and brooding, trivial and profound, al-Tawhidi’s questions provoke an interaction as interesting in its spiritedness as in its content. This new edition of The Philosopher Responds is accompanied by the first full-length English translation of this important text, bringing this interaction to life for the English reader.A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

À notre époque où les changements sont aussi brutaux que rapides, le slogan « se former tout au long de la vie » s’avère plus que jamais un impératif. Par chance, et grâce au web, il n’a jamais été aussi facile de maintenir ses connaissances à jour. Encore faut-il ne pas se fourvoyer dans le labyrinthe des ressources disponibles. L’autoformation n’est pas née d’hier. Michael Faraday, l’un des plus grands savants du dix-neuvième siècle, autodidacte de surcroît et pédagogue émérite, a défini en son temps les bonnes habitudes à adopter pour un autoapprentissage efficace tout au long de la vie. Une fois adaptées et complétées, ces bonnes habitudes essentiellement orientées sur la collecte des informations pertinentes et la qualité des échanges entre pairs se fondent à merveille dans l’univers du web et des réseaux sociaux. Au fil de cet ouvrage, nous allons étudier de près chacune des sept bonnes habitudes actualisées afin que chacun puisse les adopter pour assurer sa formation en continu. Site associé : www.piloter.org (Onglet : « Se former ») Biographie de l'auteur: Alain Fernandez est un consultant et formateur international. Auteur de plusieurs ouvrages de management vendus à plusieurs dizaines de milliers d’exemplaires, il édite le site www.piloter.org depuis plus de vingt ans. Il enseigne et utilise pour ses propres projets d’autoformation les 7 habitudes décrites dans cet ouvrage.

Finalist for the 2016 National Translation Award given by the American Literary Translators'' AssociationThe life, birth, and early years of ''the Fariyaq''—the alter ego of the Arab intellectual Ahmad Faris al-ShidyaqLeg over Leg recounts the life, from birth to middle age, of ‘the Fariyaq,’ alter ego of Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq, a pivotal figure in the intellectual and literary history of the modern Arab world. The always edifying and often hilarious adventures of the Fariyaq, as he moves from his native Lebanon to Egypt, Malta, Tunis, England and France, provide the author with grist for wide-ranging discussions of the intellectual and social issues of his time, including the ignorance and corruption of the Lebanese religious and secular establishments, freedom of conscience, women’s rights, sexual relationships between men and women, the manners and customs of Europeans and Middle Easterners, and the differences between contemporary European and Arabic literatures. Al-Shidyaq also celebrates the genius and beauty of the classical Arabic language.Akin to Sterne and Rabelais in his satirical outlook and technical inventiveness, al-Shidyaq produced in Leg Over Leg a work that is unique and unclassifiable. It was initially widely condemned for its attacks on authority, its religious skepticism, and its “obscenity,” and later editions were often abridged. This is the first English translation of the work and reproduces the original Arabic text, published under the author’s supervision in 1855.

Highlights the work trans youth do to create inclusive spaces in schoolsFierce, Fabulous, and Fluid presents a poignant critique of educational policies aimed at supporting trans and gender-nonconforming youth in schools. Over the years, caring adults have recognized these students as vulnerable and have tried to create inclusive environments to address their unique challenges. However, the book argues that these approaches have inadvertently perpetuated a narrow definition of trans identity, leaving many trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming youth feeling excluded and unseen.Based on a year-long ethnographic study conducted in a high school, LJ Slovin closely observes the experiences of gender-nonconforming youth who were often overlooked in the discussions about trans issues. Despite the lack of recognition, these hard-working young individuals persevered, navigating their identities and striving to thrive within the education system.Through their daily efforts, these young people tried to expand notions of gender in their school environment, building more inclusive spaces that embraced all trans identities. By sharing their stories, Slovin emphasizes the need for educators to shift away from a focus on risk and concern, to instead foster a celebration of trans and gender-nonconforming youth. The book urges educators to cultivate a genuine desire to understand and support trans youth, paving the way for a brighter and queerer future within educational settings.

Responds to the demand into more research on causes of stress and burnout among teachersThis book seeks to understand how language teachers regulate and use their emotions to best serve themselves and their students. It furthers research in the field by providing an in-depth theoretical discussion of emotion regulation alongside a comprehensive exploration in Japan. The study at the heart of the book focuses on three important features: the strategies language teachers employ to regulate their emotions, the motives that they regulate in aid of, and the various contextual factors shaping their strategy and motive decision-making. The findings reveal numerous ways that language teacher emotion regulation is empowered and constrained by identities, notions of good practice, critical experiences and external pressures. The book provides theoretical models of emotion regulation alongside recommendations for researchers, trainers and teachers who are interested in understanding more about the emotional dimension of the language classroom.Acknowledgements Copyright Notice Acknowledgement of Financial Support Figures and Tables Foreword Chapter 1.
