Download or read book Schools and National Identities in French speaking Africa written by Linda Gardelle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools and National Identities in French-speaking Africa showcases cutting-edge research to provide a renewed understanding of the role of schools in producing and reproducing national identities. Using individual case studies and comparative frameworks, it presents diverse empirical and theoretical insights from and about a range of African countries. The volume demonstrates in particular the usefulness of the curriculum as a lens through which to analyse the production and negotiation of national identities in different settings. Chapters discuss the tensions between decolonisation as a moment in time and decolonisation as a lengthy and messy process, the interplay between the local, national and international priorities of different actors, and the nuanced role of historiography and language in nation-building. At its heart is the need to critically investigate the concept of "the nation" as a political project, how discourses and feelings of belonging are constructed at school, and what it means for schools to be simultaneously places of learning, tools of socialisation and political battlegrounds. By presenting new research on textbooks, practitioners and policy in ten different African countries, this volume provides insights into the diversity of issues and dynamics surrounding the question of schools and national identities. It will be of particular interest to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students of comparative and international education, sociology, history, sociolinguistics and African studies.
Download or read book Language Learning and Teaching in a Multilingual World written by Marie-Françoise Narcy-Combes and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2019-03-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of people around the world live in multilingual societies, and so it follows that plurilingualism should be considered normal. This book proposes a flexible and adaptive framework for designing and implementing language learning environments and tasks, which will be useful for practitioners working in classrooms where many languages are already spoken. The authors begin by presenting a state-of-the-art review of current research on language learning, language teaching and multilingual language acquisition. This is followed by a qualitative review of 37 multilingual research projects, which are treated as case studies to inform the practical guidance that constitutes the remainder of the book. The information and practical framework contained within this book will be of interest to researchers, teachers and teacher educators.
Download or read book A critical engagement with theological education in Africa written by Johannes J. Knoetze and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The higher education landscape has arguably become one of the most arduous to traverse. More so in the African context, where a host of variables continiously challenge educators to reflect critically on their philosophies and practices as they engage an ever-changing audience. In this book, a critical engagement with theological education in Africa is offered. As the book originates from South Africa, it is presented as a South African perspective, although contributors are situated accross the African continent and abroad. The common denominator is that all contributers are, in some way or another, invested in theological education in Africa. The main contribution of this collaborative work is to be sought in the insights it offers on four main areas of theological education: A historical and current orientation on theological edcuation in Africa, some paradigm shifts in theological education in Africa, ministerial formation needs versus theological education challenges, and a critical reflection on elective models and methods. The book presents the original and innovative research of scholars for fellow scholars involved in theological higher education as it is grounded in the respective fields of interest of each contributor. It contributes to a better understanding of the complex African theological higher education landscape that is also mindful of post-COVID-19 realities. Methodologically the work draws on a combination of methods, including literature studies, empirical work, and in some cases sectional offerings from doctoral studies, as indicated in the various chapters.

Download or read book Handbook of Multilingualism and Multiculturalism written by Geneviève Zarate and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2011 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built around the concept of linguistic and cultural plurality, this book defines language as an instrument of action and symbolic power. Plurality is conceived here as : a complex array of voices, perspectives and approaches that seeks to preserve the complexity of the multilingual and multicultural enterprise, including language learning and teaching ; a coherent system of relationships among various languages, research traditions and research sites that informs qualitative methods of inquiry into multilingualism and its uses in everyday life ; a view of language as structured sociohistorical object, observable from several simultaneous spatiotemporal standpoints, such as that of daily interactions or that which sustains the symbolic power of institutions. This book is addressed to teacher trainers, young researchers, decision makers, teachers concerned with the role of languages in the evolution of societies and educational systems. It aims to elicit discussion by articulating practices, field observations and analyses based on a multidisciplinary conceptual framework.

Il leur présente l'ensemble des repères fondamentaux pour élaborer, réaliser, diffuser des connaissances par un processus de recherche scientifique en didactique des langues et des cultures : repères épistémologiques et théoriques (qu'est-ce un projet de connaissance scientifique à propos de l'enseignement-apprentissage des langues et des cultures ? Comment élaborer un projet de recherche ?), repères méthodologiques (qu'est-ce qu'une méthode de recherche scientifique ? Comment élaborer une méthode pertinente ? Comment susciter, traiter, analyser, interpréter l'information ?), repères disciplinaires (quels sont les principaux axes de recherches en didactique des langues et des cultures aujourd'hui ? quels grands types de recherches sont menés ?), repères expérienciels (comment d'autres ont-ils mené des recherches dans ce domaine et à ses frontières interdisciplinaires ?). Dès lors, cet ouvrage apportera probablement aussi aux chercheurs confirmés, spécialisés dans d'autres domaines, une information sur ce champ de la recherche et sur l'état des connaissances en didactique des langues et des cultures.

Download or read book Multilingual Approaches for Teaching and Learning written by Claudine Kirsch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multilingual Approaches for Teaching and Learning outlines the opportunities and challenges of multilingual approaches in mainstream education in Europe. The book, which draws on research findings from several officially monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual countries in Europe, discusses approaches to multilingual education which capitalise on students’ multilingual resources from early childhood to higher education. This book synthesises research on multilingual education, relates theory to practice, and discusses different pedagogical approaches from diverse perspectives. The first section of the book outlines multilingual approaches in early childhood education and primary school, the second looks at multilingual approaches in secondary school and higher education, and the third examines the influence of parents, policy-makers, and professional development on the implementation and sustainability of multilingual approaches. The book demonstrates that educators can leverage students’ multilingualism to promote learning and help students achieve their full potential. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of language education, psychology, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.
Download or read book Modeling and Using Context written by Anind Dey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-07-11 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context is of crucial importance for research and applications in many disciplines, as evidenced by many workshops, symposia, seminars, and conferences on specific aspects of context. The International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT), the oldest conference series focusing on context, provides a unique interdisciplinary emphasis, bringing together participants from a wide range of disciplines, including artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, linguistics, organizational science, philosophy, psychology, ubiquitous computing, and application areas such as medicine and law, to discuss and report on context-related research and projects. Previous CONTEXT conferences were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1997), Trento, Italy (1999, LNCS 1688), Dundee, UK (2001, LNCS 2116), and Palo Alto, USA (2003, LNCS 2680). CONTEXT 2005 was held in Paris, France during July 5–8, 2005. There was a strong response to the CONTEXT 2005 Call for Papers, with 120 submissions received. A careful review process assessed all submissions, with each paper first reviewed by the international Program Committee, and then reviewer discussions were initiated as needed to assure that the final decisions carefully considered all aspects of each paper. Reviews of submissions by the Program Chairs were supervised independently and anonymously, to assure fair consideration of all work. Out of the 120 submissions, 23 were selected as full papers for oral presentation, and 20 were selected as full papers for poster presentation. These outstanding papers are presented in this proceedings.

This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelle formation pour des profils d'enseignants qui répondent aux nouveaux besoins et formes d'enseignement/apprentissage d'une ou de plusieurs langues, d'une ou de plusieurs matières/spécialités, d'une ou plusieurs approches/méthodologies ? La société contemporaine subit de profondes transformations. L'arrivée des nouvelles technologies, les changements sociaux caractérisés par une mobilité croissante des individus, ont fait que les publics ainsi que leurs besoins en langues se sont diversifiés et complexifiés. Si le Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues a favorisé de nouveaux regards sur l'enseignement/apprentissage des langues et sur les représentations autour des langues et de leur enseignement/apprentissage, ce sont les changements plus généraux de ce début du XXIe siècle qui contribuent de manière fondamentale au foisonnement de questions, doutes et démarches dans le domaine de la didactique des langues (DDL). Nouveaux contextes, nouveaux publics, nouveaux besoins... Comment passer d'un profil figé à un profil plus souple qui réponde aux nouvelles formes d'enseignement/apprentissage d'une ou de plusieurs langues, d'une ou de plusieurs matières/spécialités, d'une ou de plusieurs approches/méthodologies ? Comment s'habituer à des espaces pédagogiques virtuels ? Comment accepter et introduire les nouvelles technologies non seulement comme un support parmi d'autres, mais en tant que partenaire ? Autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage tente de répondre en proposant quelques profils d'enseignant qui nous semblent les mieux adaptés aux nouveaux contextes et situations d'enseignement/apprentissage des langues.
