Das Verhaltnis von Berufsarbeit und beruflichem Lernen und Lehren ist in der Arbeitsforschung von besonderer Bedeutung und steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes.

Now in its fourth edition, The Art of Music Production has established itself as the definitive guide to the art and business of music production and a primary teaching tool for college programs. It is the first book to comprehensively analyze and describe the non-technical role of the music producer. Author Richard James Burgess lays out the complex field of music production by defining the several distinct roles that fall under the rubric of music producer. In this completely updated and revised fourth edition of a book already lauded as "the most comprehensive guide to record production ever published," Burgess has expanded and refined the types of producers, bringing them fully up to date. The first part of the book outlines the underlying theory of the art of music production. The second part focuses on the practical aspects of the job including training, getting into the business, day-to-day responsibilities, potential earnings, managers, lawyers, and - most importantly - the musical, financial, and interpersonal relationships producers have with artists and their labels. The book is packed with insights from the most successful music producers ranging from today's chart-toppers to the beginnings of recorded sound, including mainstream and many niche genres. The book also features many revealing anecdotes about the business, including the stars and the challenges (from daily to career-related) a producer faces. Burgess addresses the changes in the nature of music production that have been brought about by technology and, in particular, the paradigmatic millennial shift that has occurred with digital recording and distribution. Burgess's lifelong experience in the recording industry as a studio musician, artist, producer, manager, and marketer combined with his extensive academic research in the field brings a unique breadth and depth of understanding to the topic.

Berufsfeld-Kommunikation: Deutsch versammelt Beitrage einer internationalen Fachkonferenz an der Warsaw School of Economics, die das Ziel hatte, Experten an der Schnittstelle von Germanistik, Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache sowie aus der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung im Sinne einer nachhaltigen, bedarfsorientierten Ausrichtung von Fremdsprachenlehrangeboten ein Forum zum Austausch uber aktuelle Erkenntnisse zu bieten. Die Tagung blickte auf Instrumente und Verfahren zur Erhebung sprachlich-kommunikativer Kompetenzen fur den Beruf, auf sprachlich-kommunikative Anforderungen in ausgewahlten Berufsfeldern - u.a. Finanzbuchhaltung, Fremdenverkehr, Medizin, priesterliche Seelsorge - sowie auf Modelle und Praxisbeispiele zur Gestaltung von Lernraumen, in denen sich sprachlich-kommunikative Kompetenzen berufsfeldnah und zielgruppengerecht trainieren lassen.

Die vielfaltigen Verknupfungen zwischen Bildung, Arbeit und Biografie werden in dieser Festschrift fur Rudolf Husemann aus einer zeitbezogenen Perspektive beleuchtet. Die gewahlten Zugange fokussieren dabei zum einen spezifische Lebensphasen aus der Bildungs-, Arbeits- und Biografieperspektive, so z.B. die Berufseinstiegs- oder Ausstiegsphase. Zum anderen lassen sich unter dem genannten Themendach spezifische Zeitdimensionen verorten, wie z.B. Zeit fur Bildung, Zeitarbeit etc. Zu diesen Fragestellungen wurden aktuelle theoretische Diskurse, empirische Forschungsergebnisse und Projektberichte aus der Bildungspraxis zusammengefuhrt. Die Autorinnen und Autoren sind in der Bildungs-, Berufs- und Arbeitsforschung sowie in der Bildungspraxis im bundesdeutschen und internationalen Kontext tatig.

Wirtschaft und empirische Bildungsforschung bemangeln einhellig fehlende sprachlich-kommunikative Kompetenzen von Auszubildenden und BewerberInnen. Dennoch hat die Deutschdidaktik den UEbergang von den allgemeinbildenden Schulen in eine Ausbildung bislang weitgehend vernachlassigt. Der Band widmet sich dieser Schnittstelle. Vor dem Hintergrund der These, dass die sprachlich-kommunikativen Defizite nicht nur individuell, sondern auch institutionell zu verantworten sind, konfrontiert die Arbeit empirische Befunde zu den sprachlich-kommunikativen Kompetenzen von Jugendlichen am Ende der Sekundarstufe I mit empirischen Ergebnissen zu den sprachlich-kommunikativen Anforderungen an diese Jugendlichen in Ausbildung und Beruf. Dieser Abgleich mundet in einer Diskussion, wie der Deutsch-, aber auch der Fachunterricht in der Sekundarstufe I die SchulerInnen auf die sprachlich-kommunikativen Anforderungen einer Ausbildung vorbereiten kann.

The ten year anniversary of the book offers an excellent opportunity to publish a second edition. Several aspects of the book have evolved considerably since its first printing.

Obwohl Lehrpersonen die Qualitat von Unterricht entscheidend mitbestimmen, ist in der Berufs- und Wirtschaftspadagogik relativ wenig daruber bekannt, wie Lehrkrafte an beruflichen Schulen denken und handeln. Die Arbeit greift dieses Forschungsdefizit theoriegeleitet auf. Bezogen auf den Lerninhaltsbereich Buchfuhrung analysiert der Autor, uber welche Sichtweisen Lehrkrafte berichten, wie sie Unterricht gestalten und wie sich die erzielbaren Effekte auf Seiten der Lernenden darstellen. Anschliessend uberpruft er, inwiefern sich Zusammenhange zwischen Sichtweisen von Lehrpersonen, Unterrichtsgestaltung und Output ausmachen lassen.

Die Internationalisierung zwingt zahlreiche Unternehmen zu einer unternehmensweiten Einfuhrung von Fremdsprachen. Bisher sind insbesondere fur Grossunternehmen Instrumente entwickelt worden. Ausgehend von der Ermittlung des Bedarfs an Fremdsprachenfoerderung und Unterstutzung am Beispiel mittelstandischer Maschinenbauunternehmen diskutiert die Autorin die Erkenntnisse der Sprachlehrforschung, des internationalen Personalmanagements und der Terminologieforschung auf ihre Anwendbarkeit in mittelstandischen Unternehmen. Dabei steht die Schlusselrolle der Personalverantwortlichen in diesem Prozess im Vordergrund. Als Ergebnis werden praxisgerechte Bausteine fur die Sprachverankerung abgeleitet, die fur Personalverantwortliche wie fur angewandte Linguisten gleichermassen gewinnbringend sind.
