This book provides a comprehensive critical account of tandem
learning, charting it evolution from its origins in European
educational settings to modern programs offering new perspectives
on the approach's role within higher education. Taking stock of the
ways in which increased globalization has produced new linguistic
and sociocultural realities, the volume begins by looking back at
the development of tandem learning over the last several decades,
growing out of a need to create more opportunities for L2 learners
to communicate in their target language. The book then examines the
different learning objectives and learning outcomes of tandem
learning arrangements, moving toward a discussion of tandem
learning's potential role in shaping language policy and the unique
challenges involved in implementing tandem programs at higher
education institutions. The final section of the book brings the
previous discussions together to consider new tools and technology
and the ways in which they can better equip language educators to
implement tandem learning in their own practice. Highlighting
tandem learning's potential to promote multilingual and
multicultural learning on a global scale, this volume will be of
particular interest to students and researchers in intercultural
communication, language education, multilingualism, and applied
linguistics.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The digital revolution is changing virtually every aspect of the
business world. However, most attempts at the digital
transformation of enterprises fail - largely because of a lack of
comprehensive and coherent strategy. This book takes lessons
learned from the rise of the digital platform giants and explores
how they can be adapted and effectively applied to established
businesses, allowing them to compete within the new digital
business paradigm. Offering a holistic perspective on the business
and technology landscape, the book describes the megatrends,
evolution and impact of digital technologies and business models.
It brings together what for many is a disjointed set of business
transformation imperatives, to provide a practical guide to digital
success. Drawing on the authors' decades of experience in
supporting transformation and innovation, the book lays out a path
to a progressive iteration of business change and value
realization, balancing the perspectives of revolutionary
transformation and change-enabling optimization.
Tardieu's poetry has an almost childlike simplicity, and in France
his work is studied both in universities and schools. He addresses
problems of experience and language central to modern literature,
bringing lively wit and humor to bear upon an anguished
interrogation of the world. Tardieu was born in 1903, and this
selection spans seventy years of his writing. In his early years
the difficulties of writing lyric poetry in a schizophrenic age led
him to a multiplication of poetic voices, and so to working for the
stage, where he was writing what was subsequently dubbed 'Theatre
of the Absurd' before Beckett's or Ionesco's plays had ever been
performed in public.
