Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1969. British merchants first penetrated to Moscow in the early 16th century. From that time until today developments in Russia have influenced Britain in innumerable ways - sometimes unexpectedly. In this volume Professor Armytage traces this influence, showing how Tolstoy, Kropotkin and others better known for their activities in fields other than education, have, in fact, had their effect on education in Britain. The lively account of the way in which these ideas have found their way into the British system shows that recent influences have been more direct. In particular the rapid development of higher technological education owes a great deal to the Russian example.

Download or read book Classroom and Empire written by Wayne Dowler and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classroom and Empire tells the story of the politics of alphabets, languages, and schooling in the eastern empire of Russia from 1860 to 1917. Wayne Dowler presents an intriguing cast of characters, including Nikolai Il'minskii, whose method of schooling non-Russian children lay at the heart of nationalist controversy; Ismail Bey Gaspirali, whose new method schools attempted to reconcile Islam with modern secular philosophy and science; Konstantin Pobedonostsev, procurator of the Holy Synod and éminence grise of the reigns of Alexander III and his son Nicholas II; and Sophia Chicherina, feisty defender of the Il'minskii school. Dowler shows us that the problem of schooling non-Russians was unresolved by the fall of the Romanovs in 1917, smouldered through much of the Soviet period, and has re-emerged today as a major source of divisiveness in the Russian Federation.
Download or read book International Teaching and Learning at Universities written by G. Slethaug and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Teaching and Learning at Universities investigates both the positive and the more problematic aspects of the internationalization of education. The flow of students to universities is no longer unidirectional from East to West but truly global with a diminishing difference between the two major educational centers. Slethaug and Vinther explain how liberal education, the movement of students across the globe, autonomy for students and teachers, and internationalization of education influence each other in constructing a new educational reality. These elements are vital to the continued development of learning, economic growth, and the democratic process of our societies in the East and West.

Download or read book Barriers to Bilingual Education written by Mariia Rubtcova and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the current conflict between Russia and the West, there are many concerns associated with the fate of the Russian language and spread of the English language. Previous research has shown a serious concern about the use of English language in the education system in Russia. Therefore, it is necessary to search the conception of using the English language, which will be adequate to the outlook of the Russians. The present study aims to investigate social and ideological barriers of implementation of bilingual education (in English and Russian) in St. Petersburg universities and to find a way of possible development bilingual education in future. The author conducts the expert research by formalized interviews. The sampling method: convenience sample. The results: despite the fact that the experts recognize that knowledge of English is useful in worldwide perspectives, the spread of the English language as a language of instruction at Russian universities is alarming. Education in only English without Russian is unacceptable. The Russian language should have priority in Russian university education; however, English can be one of working languages especially if it is possible to understand it as a financial investment and it will be proved that English can give financial profit. The results show a wide range of barriers, from concern for the preservation of national identity to fears that social change will occur more rapidly and existing knowledge can be devalued under the influence of English spread. However, economic motivation is very important and English can be accepted as a way to economic success.

Download or read book Action Research into Teaching English in Russia s Professional Context written by Natalia A. Gunina and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a result of the investigative attempts of linguistics professionals to identify and meet the challenges of developing communicative competence in future engineers, economists and other such specialists. The unifying feature of all the contributions brought together here is the active involvement of the authors in practical instruction of English for specific professional purposes at the tertiary (bachelors’ and masters’ programs) level in Russia. This volume covers a number of relevant areas in this field, including new developments in methodology, approaches to course and materials design, and the contribution of language theory to foreign language teaching in a professional context. The unique teaching approach advocated in this book denounces the traditional practice of transferring classical methodology of communicative-oriented teaching to language classes for students with a non-linguistic or non-teaching professional orientation. The underlying idea of this volume is that a change in professional context implies a change in language teaching methodology, including materials, techniques and target competences. The ideas and experiences analysed here will appeal to anyone interested in the current trends in foreign language teaching and learning and particularly to educationalists.
Download or read book Exploring English Language Teaching in Post Soviet Era Countries written by Tamilla Mammadova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring English Language Teaching in Post-Soviet Era Countries analyses different elements of English language teaching from the Soviet era to a new era of Westernised influence. This work provides an insight into the problems that occur in present-day English language education in post-Soviet era countries, considering English language teaching at all stages of education. The book outlines the challenges that many countries of the former Soviet Union experienced at the turn of the twenty-first century and relates these to education as a crucial social phenomenon. It considers the teaching of English as a lingua franca at all education levels in the countries of the former Soviet Union, with particular emphasis on universities. Using empirical research from case studies in Azerbaijan, the book considers whether post-Soviet era countries have truly moved towards a Westernised model of language education or simply imitated one. This book is the first of its kind to treat the problem by listening to teachers’ and students’ voices as the major actors of the educational process. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of English language education, education in Eastern Europe and applied linguistics.

Download or read book English in Post Revolutionary Iran written by Maryam Borjian and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unravels the story of English, the language of 'the enemies', in post-revolutionary Iran. Drawing on diverse qualitative and quantitative fieldwork data, it examines the nation's English at the two levels of policy and practice to determine the politics, causes, and agents of the two diverging trends of indigenization/localization and internationalization/Anglo-Americanization within Iran's English education. Situating English in the nation's broader social, political, economic, and historical contexts, the volume explores the intersection of the nation's English education with variables such as power, economy, policy, ideology, and information technology over the past three decades. The multidisciplinary insights of the book will be of value to scholars of global English, education policies and reforms and language policy as well as those who are specifically concerned with education in Iran.
