Book Description
This volume provides foreign language educators and classroom researchers with an introduction to online intercultural exchange, the activity of engaging foreign language learners in collaborative project work with partners from other cultures through the use of online communication tools such as email, discussion boards and videoconferencing. The authors use their extensive experience in both the practice and research of online exchange to present a clear overview of the pedagogical theory behind online exchange and its contribution to different aspects of foreign language learning, including communicative competence, intercultural awareness and learner autonomy. The chapters look at different ways of organising such projects, such as the Tandem and Cultura models, and also provide clear discussions on practical aspects of the area including task design, the choice of communication tools and the role of the teacher.

Book Description
The theme of this book cuts across disciplines. Contributors to this volume are specialized in education and especially classroom research as well as in linguistics, most being transdisciplinary themselves. Around 65 sub-Saharan languages figure in this volume as research objects: as means of instruction, in connection with teacher training, language policy, lexical development, harmonization efforts, information technology, oral literature and deaf communities. The co-existence of these African languages with English, French and Arabic is examined as well. This wide range of languages and subjects builds on recent field work, giving new empirical evidence from 17 countries: Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, as well as to transnational matters like the harmonization of African transborder languages. As the Editors – a Norwegian social scientist and a Norwegian linguist, both working in Africa – have wanted to give room for African voices, the majority of contributions to this volume come from Africa.

Book Description
This book explores the problematic relationship between education, social justice and the State, against the background of comparative education research. The book critiques the status quo of stratified school systems, and the unequal distribution of cultural capital and value added schooling. The authors address one of today’s most pressing questions: Are social, economic and cultural divisions between the nations, between school sectors, between schools and between students growing or declining?

Book Description
Les relations entre la langue à apprendre et la langue déjà acquise ont occupé, de tous temps, une place incontournable dans les réflexions des pédagogues, enseignants, didactitiens, grammairiens... Alors, doit-on tenter d'évacuer la langue maternelle parce qu'elle fait obstacle ou à l'inverse s'appuyer sur les acquis des apprentissages premiers ? Telle est la problématique de cet ouvrage.

Book Description
This Critical Perspectives on Language Teaching Materials brings together a collection of critical voices on the subject of language teaching materials for use in English, French, Spanish, German and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms. It is firmly located within the 'critical turn' in Applied Linguistics and seeks to build on the growing body of work in this vein. Collectively the authors take it as axiomatic that the politics of representation and identity, and issues of ideology and commercialism cannot be neglected in any serious study of language teaching materials. Rather, it sees these issues as central. The book draws on research carried out in the UK, Spain, North America and Brazil, and is aimed at language teachers, teacher educators, students, researchers, materials writers and those working in the materials publishing industry.

Book Description
Dans l’apprentissage / acquisition des langues étrangères ou secondes, le degré de parenté entre langue source et langue cible conditionne fortement les conduites d’appropriation. Dans le cas de langues proches, l’apprenant peut s’appuyer sur la transparence, ce qui rejoint la démarche proposée par la didactique de l’intercompréhension entre langues proches. De son côté, l’apprenant d’une langue cible éloignée peut choisir d’opérer une réduction à l’intérieur de sa propre langue maternelle et (re)construire progressivement un système linguistique en langue étrangère ou seconde. Il faudrait donc envisager, dans les classes de FLE, des modes d’enseignement différenciés qui prennent en compte ces différentes stratégies ainsi que les cultures éducatives des apprenants.
