used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad

This edited volume provides innovative insights into how critical
language pedagogy and taboo topics can inform and transform the
teaching and learning of foreign languages. The book investigates
the potential as well as the challenges involved in dealing with
taboo topics in the foreign language classroom. These are
traditionally often subsumed under the acronym PARSNIP (politics,
alcohol, religion, narcotics, isms, and pork) to critically examine
how challenging topics such as disability, racism, conspiracy
theories and taboo language can be integrated into conceptual
teaching frameworks and teaching practice. It draws on examples
from literacy texts and pop culture such as young adult novels,
music videos, or rap songs and investigates their potential for
developing critical literacies. The book considers foreign language
teaching outside of English teaching contexts and sets the
groundwork for addressing the integration of taboo topics in
foreign language education theory, research and practice. Filling
an important gap in educational research, the book will be of great
interest to researchers, academics and students of foreign language
education, critical pedagogy and applied linguistics. It will also
be useful reading for teacher trainers and educators of foreign
language education.
Gender diversity and the fact that gender is subject to perpetual
renegotiations have become part of teachers' and students' lives.
This volume tackles this issue by showing particularly innovative
ways of teaching gender in the EFL classroom. Thus, the
contributions include a broad variety of gender realities, such as
trans* and cisgender, a cornucopia of texts and other media, a
variety of literary genres, graphic novels, films and TV shows. The
authors also illustrate cutting-edge approaches to teaching both
literature and gender in the contemporary student-centered EFL
classroom with different age groups.
This the first extensive study of the graphic narratives of Alison
Bechdel, one of the most renowned and influential cartoonists and
graphic novelists of our time. Over the last few decades, a wealth
of publications on the growing medium of graphic fiction has become
available. The contribution of this volume to this body of work is
to explore Bechdel's oeuvre from her earlier cartoons to her
contemporary full-length graphic memoirs, particularly chronicling
her formative years. Employing a number of case studies from
Bechdel's work, this publication shows how Bechdel plays with the
medium-specific characteristics of graphic narratives in order to
trace back the complex relationship with her parents and the
development of her own gender identities.
This book is an essential resource for researchers in the field of
applied linguistics as well as practising teachers and teacher
trainees in secondary and higher education. It explores
collaboration in the foreign language classroom through the use of
new media. Combining theoretical, empirical and practical insights
into this intricate area of research, the contributions take
different approaches across a wide range of international contexts.

Motivation The other day I was waiting at the station for my train.
Next to me a young lady was nonchalantly leaning against the wall.
Suddenly, she took a cigarette pack out of her handbag, pulled out
the last cigarette, put it between her lips, crushed the empty
pack, threw it on the ground and hedonistically lit the cigarette.
I thought to myself, "What a behavior? ." The nearest trashcan was
just five meters away. So I bent down, took the crushed pack and
gave it back to her, saying that she had lost it. She looked at me
in a rather deranged way, but she said nothing and of waste to the
trashcan. brought the piece Often people are not aware of the waste
they produce. They get rid of it and that's it. As soon as the
charming lady dropped the cigarette pack, the problem was solved
for her. The pack was on the ground and it suddenly no longer
belonged to her. It is taken for granted that somebody else will do
the cleaning up. There is a saying that nature does not produce
waste. For long as humans obtained the goods they needed from the
ground where they lived, the waste that was produced could be
handled by nature. This has drastically changed due to urbanization
and waste produced by human activities has become a severe burden.
Diplomatisch ist nur die Verpackung: Aussenpolitik ist in den
letzten Jahren schneller, lauter, vielschichtiger und zugleich
buerokratischer geworden. Dennoch: Ein Beruf mit Zukunft; wir
brauchen offene Koepfe, keine Missionare.Trotz neuer Themen bleibt
die Sicherung von Frieden und Wohlstand die Koenigsdisziplin.
Asiatische und andere Aufsteiger des Suedens werden fuer uns
wichtige Partner bei der Gestaltung der internationalen Ordnung des
21. Jahrhunderts sein. Wir sollten uns nicht nur um die
Problemzonen der Welt, sondern auch um unsere fernen Freunde
kuemmern. Vor allem nach der Corona Pandemie gilt: wenn wir uns
nicht anstrengen, werden wir als Deutsche und Europaeer abgehaengt
werden; wirtschaftlich und politisch. "Die Zeitreise des ehemaligen
Botschafters Christian-Ludwig Weber-Lortsch, der ein enger
Mitarbeiter von mir im Bundeskanzleramt war, bietet fachkundige und
unterhaltsame Einblicke in den Alltag und den Wandel der
Diplomatie. Dieses Buch macht zudem deutlich, dass die sogenannten
Tigerstaaten wie Vietnam und andere Aufsteiger des Sudens fur uns
Europaer wichtige Partner bei der Gestaltung der internationalen
Ordnung des 21. Jahrhunderts sein werden." (Bundeskanzler a.D.
Gerhard Schroeder)
In der religionssoziologischen Forschung dominieren die Mikroebene
der religioesen Individuen und die Makroebene der religioesen
Felder bzw. Systeme. Demgegenuber kommt die Mesoebene der
religioesen Sozialformen sowohl empirisch als auch konzeptionell
oftmals zu kurz. Empirisch werden Sozialformen in ihrem Wandel nur
selten untersucht; konzeptionell scheint keiner der gangigen
soziologischen Begriffe von hinreichender Passgenauigkeit zu sein.
Auch und gerade die Analyse der Mesoebene von Religion verspricht
jedoch nicht nur fruchtbare Ansatze zur Beschreibung des Wandels
religioeser Sozialformen, sondern zeigt, wie religionssoziologische
Forschung religioese Organisation, Netzwerke, Gemeinschaft und
Markt gewinnbringend untersuchen kann. In diesem Band werden daher
vier Schwerpunkte vorgestellt und miteinander verbunden, die die
Mesoebene von Religion in den Blick nehmen.

Vor dem Hintergrund allgegenwartiger Sicherheitsmassnahmen im
Alltag, insbesondere im offentlichen Verkehr, untersucht Christian
Ludwig Geminn den rechtsvertraglichen Einsatz von
Sicherheitsmassnahmen in diesem Bereich. Der Fokus liegt auf der
Abwehr von Bedrohungen durch terroristische Anschlage, durch die
der offentliche Verkehr besonders bedroht ist, im Spannungsfeld von
Sicherheit und Freiheit. Der Autor zeigt aktuelle technische
Entwicklungen und Bedrohungsszenarien auf und gibt einen Uberblick
uber Sicherheitsmassnahmen und den rechtlichen Umgang mit ihnen.
Unter Zuhilfenahme der Methode KORA (Konkretisierung rechtlicher
Anforderungen) entwickelt er fur Entscheidungstrager einen
Leitfaden fur den rechtsvertraglichen Einsatz von
Sicherheitsmassnahmen. "
