Learning with Literature in the EFL Classroom provides a comprehensive, in-depth and state-of-the-art introduction to literature learning in EFL contexts. Paying attention to both theoretical and practical concerns, the study focuses on a wide range of literary genres, different age and ability groups and new topics for literature learning. The 18 contributions discuss present-day challenges for literature teaching in the light of current theoretical debates and offer a balance between theory and practice by combining theoretical input with practical work in the classroom. The volume offers many suggestions for the future of the field and has a varied readership in mind, comprising language teachers, university students and academics.

Der Begriff des transkulturellen Lernens steht fur ein breites Spektrum neuer Ansatze in der Fremdsprachendidaktik, deren gemeinsamer Nenner ein veranderter Begriff von Kultur, Identitat und Differenz ist. Dieser Band versammelt Beitrage der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer der Konferenz "Transkulturelles Lernen im Fremdsprachenunterricht: Theorie und Praxis", die 2012 an der Ruhr-Universitat Bochum stattfand. In ihren Beitragen zeigen die Autorinnen und Autoren, welche neuen Perspektiven die transkulturelle OEffnung des Fremdsprachenunterrichts der Kultur- und Literaturdidaktik sowie internationalen Begegnungs-, Austausch- und Theaterprojekten eroeffnet. Sie leisten damit einen Beitrag zur theoretischen Fundierung und Etablierung des Forschungsfelds des transkulturellen Lernens.

Currently, most health care systems cannot afford all possible health care technologies and thus face serious resource allocation decisions. Economic evaluation represents one important tool to support decision-makers tackle this issue. The economic evaluation of infectious diseases is typically trickier than comparable analysis of other diseases. This book initially analyzes the differences between economic evaluation of infectious and non-infectious diseases and subsequently presents methodological advances for conducting the former, using real world examples. Guidance, especially, on the use of dynamic versus static models; on the assessment of indirect costs and the transferability to study results from one country to another country is given.
