Inclusive pedagogy adopts the premise that all students are able to
learn, and practitioners are prepared to help them reach this goal.
Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the field of
language education to question whether the rushed changes and
transfer to online learning environments supported Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Even though inclusive pedagogy holds
the potential to empower students and teachers, this matter may
have been neglected in the turbulence of Emergency Remote Teaching
(ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book provides readers an
opportunity to reflect on key issues and current trends in
promoting DEI in language learning environments. It also sheds
light on research that looks at various contexts, model language
learning programs, and initiatives that were taken during the
COVID-19 education turbulence and their demonstrable outcomes and
reproducible aims and strategies. It is ideal for professors,
students, educators, and policymakers.
The role of technology in the learning process can offer
significant contributions to help meet the increasing needs of
students. In the field of language acquisition, new possibilities
for instructional methods have emerged from the integration of such
innovations. The Handbook of Research on Foreign Language Education
in the Digital Age presents a comprehensive examination of emerging
technological tools being utilized within second language learning
environments. Highlighting theoretical frameworks,
multidisciplinary perspectives, and technical trends, this book is
a crucial reference source for professionals, curriculum designers,
researchers, and upper-level students interested in the benefits of
technology-assisted language acquisition.
With each generation and with each passing day, we grow closer
to losing a key part of our nation's unique heritage-the Cajun
French language. Unless a concerted effort is made to preserve the
language, this rich and vibrant culture will soon be relegated to
the back pages of history. "Cajun Vocabulation" is one such labor
of love-one man's attempt to preserve the unique heritage of his
South Louisiana home.
"Cajun Vocabulation" is a dictionary and pronunciation guide for
one of the major dialects of Cajun French. Author Gordon J. Voisin
interviewed more than one hundred native speakers in order to
create this unique cultural artifact. He not only presents the
basics of the language; he does so without sacrificing any of the
zest and humor for which Cajuns are famous. The words are written
phonetically, so even those with little knowledge of Cajun French
will quickly learn to approximate its unique sound.
Engage with a vital and colorful part of American heritage with
"Cajun Vocabulation."
Useful phrases for every situation, clear pronunciations for each
phrase, and comprehensive vocabulary sections make this Spanish
phrasebook a handy reference book with clear and easy-to-use
information essential for the traveller in Spain.
Exotic Territory: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Paraguayan
Poetry seeks to address a dearth of information in the
English-speaking world about Paraguayan poetry of the past forty
years. The twelve outstanding poets included here-Jose Luis
Appleyard, Moncho Azuaga, Gladys Carmagnola, Susy Delgado, Oscar
Ferreiro, Renee Ferrer, Joaquin Morales, Amanda Pedrozo, Jacobo
Rauskin, Elvio Romero, Ricardo de La Vega, Carlos Villagra
Marsal-represent a wide diversity of themes, styles, and
perspectives in this little-known nation. Most of them have
published extensively, have been recognized through literary awards
and inclusion in national and international anthologies, and
continue writing today. To contextualize the poets and their poetry
for readers unfamiliar with Paraguay, the Introduction provides a
brief background of its geography, history, government, economy,
society, and artistic milieu. Following that is a wide selection of
representative poems published previously in Spanish, with
translations in English on facing pages. The book concludes with a
brief biographical sketch of each poet, followed by an
unprecedented and extensive bibliography of primary and secondary
sources intended to encourage those readers who might want to
pursue further reading or research on any poet of interest.
Fluency in English is a highly sought after skill in every sphere
of life. It is the yardstick that could make or break a person's
chances of making it in the competitive job market that has become
global and where to communicate confidently and smartly seperates
the achiever from the loser. The contents of the book, in the form
of explanations and exercises, promises to be easy to understand
and the activities fun to work out. What a great way to learn
