This edited collection brings together experts from various
disciplines to engage critically with diversity theory, diversity
politics, and their practical application. Accordingly, the volume
provides a provocative discursive space, where the key theoretical
as well as practical problems of diversity in business,
institutions and culture can speak to each other and can be
assessed. The aim is to bridge the gap between two relatively
distinct discourses: the discourse on practical applications of
diversity concepts and the discourse on theoretical approaches to
diversity. This selection of articles delivers the first step
towards achieving this goal. Approaching diversity from a business
perspective, the chapters discuss its ramifications on democratic
institutions and theory, as well as point to its relevance in
didactic and educational settings.
In light of increasing globalization, this collection makes the
case for global citizenship education as a way forward for
transforming foreign language learning and teaching to better
address current and future global challenges in times of
unprecedented change. The volume maps a multi-dimensional approach
within foreign language pedagogy to take up the challenge of
"educating the global citizen". Drawing on sociocultural,
pedagogical, cosmopolitan, digital and civic-minded perspectives,
the book explores the challenges in constructing epistemological
frameworks in increasingly global environments, the need for
developing context-sensitive educational practices, the potential
of linking up with work from related disciplines, and the impact of
these considerations on different educational settings. The
collection reflects an international range of voices, attuned to
global and local nuances, to offer a holistic compilation of
conceptual innovations to showcase the relevance of global
citizenship issues in foreign language education and encourage
future research. This book will be of interest to scholars in
intercultural education, foreign language education, and language
teaching, as well as policymakers and foreign language teachers.

Foreign Language Learning in the Digital Age addresses the growing
significance of diversifying media in contemporary society and
expands on current discourses that have formulated media and a
multitude of literacies as integral objectives in 21st-century
education. The book engages with epistemological and critical
foundations of multiliteracies and related pedagogies for foreign
language-learning contexts. It includes a discussion of how
multimodal and digital media impact meaning-making practices in
learning, the inherent potentials and challenges that are
foregrounded in the use of multimodal and digital media and the
contribution that (foreign) language education can provide in
developing multiliteracies. The volume additionally addresses
foreign language education across the formal educational spectrum:
from primary education to adult and teacher education. This
multifaceted volume presents the scope of media and literacies for
foreign language education in the digital age and examples of best
practice for working with media in formal language learning
contexts. This book will be of great interest to academics,
researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of language
teaching and learning, digital education, media education, applied
linguistics and TESOL.

Der Band befasst sich mit dem Stellenwert literarisch-asthetischen
Lernens im kompetenzorientierten Fremdsprachenunterricht. Kann
literarisch-asthetisches Lernen einen eigenen Bildungswert und
einen Platz in schulischen Curricula beanspruchen? Dieser Frage
widmen sich - in zumeist affirmativer Weise - die Beitrage dieses
Buches. Sie richten den Blick auf die Spezifik
literarisch-asthetischen Lernens generell, auf das didaktische
Potenzial einzelner Genres und Gegenstande sowie auf
unterrichtsmethodische Aspekte. Daruber hinaus liefert der Band auf
der Basis empirischer Erhebungen auch Einblicke in Lernerhaltungen
und Lernprozesse im genannten Feld.
