Book excerpt: Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Englisch - Pädagogik, Sprachwissenschaft, Note: 1,0, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (Anglistisches Institut), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In einer vernetzen Welt und im Zuge der Globalisierung ist ein besseres Verständnis der Menschheit untereinander unentbehrlich, um den Frieden und ein Fortbestehen der Menschheit zu sichern. Im Zusammentreffen unterschiedlicher Kulturen werden sprachliche Fähigkeiten und Toleranz gebraucht, um internationale Kommunikation und Kooperation zu ermöglichen. Um diese gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen bildungspolitisch umzusetzen, steht die Erziehung in der Schule vor einer Herausforderung, die sich in dem Schlagwort des “Interkulturellen Lernens“ widerspiegelt. Der Englischunterricht hat ebenfalls diese Leitziele zu verfolgen und bekommt durch den Aufstieg des Internets neue Möglichkeiten, den Klassenraum zu erweitern und kulturelle Kontakte zu schaffen. Dies schafft eine neue Lernumgebung, in der Verständnis- und Verständigungsprobleme auftauchen, die nicht nur auf sprachliche Unterschiede zurückzuführen sind, sondern auch auf Mentalitätsstrukturen, die kulturell geprägt sind. Um diese Konflikte beheben zu können, benötigt ein Lerner eine “Interkulturelle Kompetenz“, eine Fülle von unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten, die näher bestimmt werden müssen. Um den Anforderungen an den Englischunterricht gerecht zu werden, stellt sich die Frage nach der methodischen und praktischen Umsetzung dieser Leitziele. Kann die Projektmethode sich als nützlich erweisen, um interkulturelles Lernen zu ermöglichen? Welche Möglichkeiten haben interkulturelle E-mail Projekte? Kann man durch diese authentische Art der Kommunikation Toleranz und Empathie unter den Kulturen bekommen? Um diese Fragen zu untersuchen, habe ich selber im April 2001 ein Projekt in einer mir fremden Kultur an einer Schule in Indien durchgeführt. Dabei leitete ich den E-mail Kontakt zwischen den Schülern eines Gandhi-Ashrams in Orissa, Indien und einer schwedischen Klasse aus Lappland im Rahmen des Englischunterrichts. Gerade Indien ist eins von “den Ländern, die im Vergleich mit unserer westlichen Lebensweise als extrem fremd” gilt. Es ist in unserem Bewusstsein mit stereotypen Bildern geprägt und bietet sich für die Ziele des Fremdverstehen und interkulturellen Lernens an. In der Zeitschrift Der Fremdsprachliche Unterricht Englisch (2/2001) ist dieser regional, divergenten Gesellschaft ein ganzes Heft gewidmet worden, denn “sowohl die Thematik Indien als auch der didaktische Ansatz des interkulturellen Lernens steckt, was die Unterrichtspraxis angeht, wohl noch in Kinderschuhen.“

Download or read book The International status of education about the Holocaust written by Carrier, Peter and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do schools worldwide treat the Holocaust as a subject? In which countries does the Holocaust form part of classroom teaching? Are representations of the Holocaust always accurate, balanced and unprejudiced in curricula and textbooks? This study, carried out by UNESCO and the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research, compares for the first time representations of the Holocaust in school textbooks and national curricula. Drawing on data which includes countries in which there exists no or little information about representations of the Holocaust, the study shows where the Holocaust is established in official guidelines, and contains a close textbook study, focusing on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of representations and historical narratives. The book highlights evolving practices worldwide and thus provides education stakeholders with comprehensive documentation about current trends in curricula directives and textbook representations of the Holocaust. It further formulates recommendations that will help policy-makers provide the educational means by which pupils may develop Holocaust literacy.

Download or read book A Practical Guide for Translators written by Geoffrey Samuelsson-Brown and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fifth revised edition of the best-selling A Practical Guide for Translators. It looks at the profession of translator on the basis of developments over the last few years and encourages both practitioners and buyers of translation services to view translation as a highly-qualified, skilled profession and not just a cost-led word mill. The book is intended principally for those who have little or no practical experience of translation in a commercial environment. It offers comprehensive advice on all aspects relevant to the would-be translator and, whilst intended mainly for those who wish to go freelance, it is also relevant to the staff translator as a guide to organisation of work and time. Advice is given on how to set up as a translator, from the purchase of equipment to the acquisition of clients. The process of translation is discussed from initial enquiry to delivery of the finished product. Hints are given on how to assess requirements, how to charge for work, how to research and use source material, and how to present the finished product. Guidance is given on where to obtain further advice and professional contacts. This revised edition updates practices in the translation profession and considers the impact of web-based translation offerings. Industry and commerce rely heavily on the skills of the human translator and his ability to make intellectual decisions that is, as yet, beyond the capacity of computer-aided translation.

Download or read book Literary Translation Reception and Transfer written by Norbert Bachleitner and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, especially on critcism, reading, and interpretation. Translation, therefore, forms a major factor in reception with the general aim of reception studies being to reveal the wide spectrum of interpretations each text offers. Moreover, translations are the prime instrument in the distribution of literature across linguistic and cultural borders; thus, they pave the way for gaining prestige in the world of literature. The thirty-eight papers included in this volume and dedicated to research in this area were previously read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna. They are ample proof that the field remains at the center of interest in Comparative Literature.

Download or read book Religious Individualisation written by Martin Fuchs and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 1058 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together key findings of the long-term research project ‘Religious Individualisation in Historical Perspective’ (Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies, Erfurt University). Combining a wide range of disciplinary approaches, methods and theories, the volume assembles over 50 contributions that explore and compare processes of religious individualisation in different religious environments and historical periods, in particular in Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe from antiquity to the recent past. Contrary to standard theories of modernisation, which tend to regard religious individualisation as a specifically modern or early modern as well as an essentially Western or Christian phenomenon, the chapters reveal processes of religious individualisation in a large variety of non-Western and pre-modern scenarios. Furthermore, the volume challenges prevalent views that regard religions primarily as collective phenomena and provides nuanced perspectives on the appropriation of religious agency, the pluralisation of religious options, dynamics of de-traditionalisation and privatisation, the development of elaborated notions of the self, the facilitation of religious deviance, and on the notion of dividuality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Path-breaking . . . offers a rich, encompassing, global perspective on education . . . articulates an educationally-grounded vision of contemporary society.” —David John Frank, University of California, Irvine Only 150 years ago, the majority of the world’s population was largely illiterate. Today, not only do most people over fifteen have basic reading and writing skills, but 20 percent of the population attends some form of higher education. What are the effects of such radical, large-scale change? David Baker argues that the education revolution has transformed our world into a schooled society—that is, a society that is actively created and defined by education. Drawing on neo-institutionalism, The Schooled Society shows how mass education interjects itself and its ideologies into culture at large: from the dynamics of social mobility, to how we measure intelligence, to the values we promote. The proposition that education is a primary rather than a “reactive” institution is then tested by examining the degree to which education has influenced other large-scale social forces, such as the economy, politics, and religion. Rich, groundbreaking, and globally-oriented, The Schooled Society sheds light on how mass education has dramatically altered the face of society and human life. “One of the most important books in the sociology of education in quite some time. . . . It will solidify [Baker’s] reputation as one of today’s leading sociologists of education and comparative and international education.” —Alan R. Sadovnik, Rutgers University “David Baker explores formal education as a social-cultural force in its own right. . . . The Schooled Society offers a powerful alternative perspective on the global educational revolution.” —Maria Charles, University of California, Santa Barbara
