Las tecnologias educativas y, concretamente, el uso de las Tecnologias para el Aprendizaje y el Conocimiento (TAC) son aliadas magnificas para la educacion bilingue. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha son limitados los estudios que realmente estudien el potencial de las TAC de manera especifica para contextos de educacion bilingue. Este volumen, partiendo de estos conceptos, aborda aspectos clave como el diseno y la creacion de materiales didacticos digitales o la importancia de las metodologias activas que tienen al alumnado como motor de los procesos de ensenanza-aprendizaje (incluyendo flipped learning o visual thinking, entre otras). El libro se cierra estudiando de manera especifica la accesibilidad y la atencion a la diversidad en educacion bilingue mediante el uso de la tecnologia.

Changing from child to young adult is difficult everywhere. But to experience childhood in continuous flight from conflict, then move into adolescence as a refugee in a radically different culture, is a more than usually complicated transition for teens and for their parents, communities, teachers, and social workers. Improvised Adolescence explores how teenagers from southern Somalia, who spent much of their childhood in East African refugee camps, are adapting to resettlement in the American Midwest. The collapse of the Somali state in 1991, and subsequent chaos in the Horn of Africa, disrupted the lives of these young people educationally, culturally, and developmentally. Folklorist Sandra Grady has intermittently observed the lifeworld of these teens-their homes, their entertainment choices, their interaction with classmates and teachers at school, and their plans for the future-for more than seven years to understand the cultural tools they've used in their journey from this disrupted childhood. They negotiate two sets of cultural expectations: in the resettled Somali Bantu community, traditional rites of passage continue to mark the change from child to adult; in the surrounding U.S. culture, an unfamiliar in-between category-"adolescent"-delays adulthood. Offering analysis that is both engaging and theoretically grounded, Grady tracks the emergence in this immigrant community of an improvised adolescence.

Publikationen uber Kollokationen sind zwar Legion, dieser Band moechte jedoch - aus kontrastiver Sicht - einen aktuellen UEberblick uber angewandte und theoretische Aspekte kollokativer Einheiten geben. Dabei rucken folgende Aspekte in den Vordergrund: die Diskussion des Kollokationsbegriffs (auch im Hinblick auf den Fremdsprachenunterricht), die morphosyntaktisch-semantisch relevanten Gebrauchseigenschaften von Kollokationen, ihre Behandlung in der Fremdsprachendidaktik (auch in Lehrwerken sowie anhand moeglicher UEbungstypologien) und in Woerterbuchern. Weitere Themen sind die Schnittstellen zwischen Kollokationen und verbalen Idiomen sowie die Frage der Valenzfahigkeit dieser beiden Phrasentypen.

Educational Partnerships and the State is a compelling collection of essays by an international group of scholars that provides a critical exploration of the role of partnerships in contemporary educational reform. Their focus is on the expanding role that collaboration between the public and private sector has come to play in the governing of schools, children, and families in response to an array of worldwide economic and social changes. The contributors to this volume highlight the new relationship between civil society and the state through partnerships and what that linkage has come to mean for an array of educational issues including academic achievement, school governance, school parent-relationships, teacher education, the construction of family and community involvement, and the discourses of reform as practices that order participation and action.

FRENCH SENTENCES Vol.1: French to English THIS EDITION: The dual-language text has been arranged into sentences for quick and easy cross-referencing. The text can be used on its own. However, the content is ideal for reinforcing grammar, and as a precursor to more advanced bilingual editions. Once a student has studied the basics, a suitable book about basic grammar is helpful. The suggestion is that it be studied more with the intent of recognition and understanding, rather than memorising and obsessive rote learning. Go through as much of the book you feel you can digest - maybe even the whole book - skipping over what is not easily understood. Then, read through a portion of text in this book, looking for examples of what you have picked up (or gleaned) in your hopefully not so arduous study of grammar. Even repeatedly seeing a word that you remember seeing listed as a 'subject pronoun' or a 'third person plural' verb of some sort is a great help. Then, depending on your inclination, return to the grammar book (or your basic French book), or move on to lengthier bilingual text - like in 2Language Books stories, for example -, or find some suitable French text: a simple novel, a French news website, etc. (A Dual-Language Book Project) 2Language Books

DeutschlehrerInnen sind mit einer Fulle an Normen konfrontiert: Standards, Lehrplane, Forderungen von Politik, Eltern und OEffentlichkeit. Der Band analysiert, wie eigene oder externe Normvorstellungen ihr Wissen, ihre UEberzeugungen und ihr Handeln beeinflussen. Thema der Beitrage, die auf empirischen Arbeiten aus den Bereichen der Lese-, Sprach- und Literaturdidaktik basieren, sind Normen und Normenkonflikte als Anteil von verschiedenen Facetten des professionellen Wissens. Sie behandeln beispielsweise die Diagnosefahigkeit im Bereich des Lesens, Normvorstellungen uber das Schreiben oder Fachwissen im Bereich der Orthographie. Der Band vertieft so die Diskussion uber fachlich gepragte professionelle Kompetenz im Sinne einer Fachdidaktik als "eingreifende Kulturwissenschaft".

English Language Standards in Higher Education has been written in a context in which the English language skills of students are increasingly under the spotlight due to the monumental impact of globalisation on the higher education sector. The underpinning tenets of the book are that in all contexts in which English is the medium of instruction English language acquisition is central to academic success, and that this requires continuous and systematic development throughout the course of study. The authors are unwavering in this conviction and offer a variety of constructive approaches, acknowledging that there is no `one-size-fits-all' approach to developing English language proficiency in higher education. This book synthesises current research in English language standards to offer new approaches to addressing a growing challenge for those leading and teaching in higher education institutions around the world. A concise, accessible book, English Language Standards in Higher Education provides both a comprehensive analysis of English language challenges in higher education and more importantly offers a framework for institutional and pedagogical planning, with practical advice and suggestions. The focus of this book and the evidence-based suggestions it provides will strongly resonate in countries where English is the main language of communication, as well as in countries where English is used as the medium of instruction in higher education. Key points Provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges of teaching students for whom English is an additional language. Offers a framework for institutional and pedagogical planning with practical advice and suggestions. Synthesises current research in English language standards to offer new approaches to addressing a challenge facing many higher education practitioners.

The relationship between self-esteem and student achievement is analyzed in this book.

Dieser Band geht auf empirischer Grundlage unter Verwendung linguistisch-pragmatischer sowie kulturwissenschaftlicher Methoden der Vielfalt des Argumentierens in Schule und Wissenschaft nach. Adressiert werden historische und interkulturelle Aspekte wie auch solche von Mehrsprachigkeit, und zwar sowohl aus analytischer als auch aus didaktischer Perspektive. An mundlichen und schriftlichen Beispielen wird aufgezeigt, welche Rolle dem Argumentieren in der Wissenskommunikation zukam beziehungsweise - auch kulturkontrastiv - zukommt. Zudem geht es um eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Funktionen, die das Argumentieren erfullt. Berucksichtigt sind das Englische als Wissenschaftssprache und Lingua franca, besonders auch im sudlichen Afrika, Russisch, Italienisch und Latein sowie das Deutsche als Fremdsprache.

How does the home experience of children from poor and ethnic minority communities influence their adaptation to school? How does the traditional "child-centred" and progressive pedagogy of early years classrooms meet the needs of children from culturally diverse backgrounds? This title seeks to address these key questions by tracing the learning experiences of individual children from a poor inner-urban neighbourhood - half of them from Bangladeshi families - as they acquire the knowledge appropriate to their home culture and then take this knowledge to their reception class. The book highlights the small differences in family life - in parenting practices, in perspectives on childhood, and in beliefs about work and play - which make a big difference to children's adaptations to school. In other words, it shows how children succeed and fail from their early days at school.; It shows too how the "good intentions" of good teachers can sometimes allow children from certain backgrounds to become disaffected, and learn to fail; and it suggests ways of working with children from working class and multicultural families which may help both children and parents to gain a better understandi

Schreibberatung und Schreibfoerderung an Schulen und Hochschulen werden mit unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen und in verschiedenen Formaten betrieben. Die Beitrage in diesem Band beleuchten theoretische Grundlagen, stellen Ergebnisse empirischer Forschung vor und geben Impulse fur die praktische Ausgestaltung von Schreibfoerderangeboten. Dabei nehmen die Autorinnen und Autoren verschiedene Fachperspektiven ein - von Deutsch- und Schreibdidaktik uber Linguistik und Fremdsprachendidaktik bis hin zu Psychologie und Padagogik - und spannen den Bogen von den Merkmalen wissenschaftlicher Texte mit ihren kulturspezifischen Besonderheiten uber das Schreiben in den Fachern und den Umgang mit Mehrsprachigkeit bis hin zur konzeptionellen und organisatorischen Gestaltung von Schreibzentren.

Das Buch untersucht den interkulturellen Aspekt im fruhen Unterricht Deutsch als Fremdsprache, auch in Folge Deutsch nach Englisch an polnischen Grundschulen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf dem pragmatisch-kommunikativen Gebiet. Ausgehend davon, dass Sprach- und Kulturvermittlung eng miteinander verknupft sind, hat der Fremdsprachenunterricht nicht nur das Erlangen sprachlicher, sondern auch interkultureller Kompetenz, im Sinne kommunikativ-pragmatisch angemessenen Handelns, als Lehr- und Lernziel. Im Falle eines Unterrichts DaF im Kontext DnE ist es daher von Interesse, kulturvergleichend zu arbeiten. Die Autorin analysiert, welchen Einfluss das Englische als erste Fremdsprache auf den Unterricht Deutsch als zweite Fremdsprache in Bezug auf die Foerderung interkultureller Kompetenz bei jungeren Lernenden hat. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Internationalen Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler-Preis fur hervorragende Arbeiten der OEsterreichischen Gesellschaft fur Germanistik ausgezeichnet.

Ever since the massive immigration from Europe of the late 19th century, American society has accommodated people of many cultures, religions, languages, and expectations. The task of integration has increasingly fallen to the schools, where children are taught a common language and a set of democratic values and sent on their ways to become productive members of society. How American schools have set about educating these diverse students, and how these students' needs have altered the face of education, are issues central to the social history of the United States in the 20th century.
In her pathbreaking new book Paula S. Fass presents a wide ranging examination of the role of "outsiders" in the creation of modern education. Through a series of in-depth and fascinating case studies, she demonstrates how issues of pluralism have shaped the educational landscape and how various minority groups have been affected by their educational experiences.
Fass first looks at how public schools absorbed the children of immigrants in the early years of the century and how those children gradually began to use the schools for their own social purposes. She then turns to the experiences of other groups of Americans whose struggles for educational and social opportunities have defined cultural life over the last fifty years: blacks, whose education became a major concern of the federal government in the 1930s and 1940s; women, who had access to higher education but were denied commensurate job opportunities; and Catholics, who created schools that succeeded both in protecting minority integrity and in providing Catholics with a path to American success. Along the way, she presents a wealth of fascinating and surprising detail. Through an examination of New York City high school yearbooks from the 1930s and 1940s, she shows how a student's ethnic identity determined which activities he or she would engage in and how ethnicity was etched into schooling. And she examines how the New Deal and the army in World War II succeeded in educating large numbers of blacks and making the inequalities in their educational opportunities a critical national concern.
A sweeping and highly original history of American education, Outside In helps us to understand how schools have been shaped by their students, how educational issues have merged with wider social concerns, and how outsiders have recreated schooling and culture in the 20th century. By opening up new historical terrain and rejecting a vision of outsiders as merely victims of American educational policy, the book has important implications for contemporary social and educational issues.

The second volume of the Finnish course introduces the learner to structures needed in writing, as well as speech, especially the use of participles and infinitives as substitutes for various subordinate clauses. Dialogs and narratives are without English translations and the number of new words listed for each chapter has been somewhat reduced. This exercise book helps reinforce the lessons learned through the Audio and Text.
