The Routledge Handbook of Hispanic Applied Linguistics
Author: Manel Lacorte
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134691416
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 717
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Hispanic applied linguistics, allowing students to understand the field from a variety of perspectives and offering insight into the ever-growing number of professional opportunies afforded to Spanish language program graduates. The goal of this book is to re-contextualize the notion of applied linguistics as simply the application of theoretical linguistic concepts to practical settings and to consider it as its own field that addresses language-based issues and problems in a real-world context. The book is organized into five parts: 1) perspectives on learning Spanish 2) issues and environments in Spanish teaching 3) Spanish in the professions 4) the discourses of Spanish and 5) social and political contexts for Spanish. The book’s all-inclusive coverage gives students the theoretical and sociocultural context for study in Hispanic applied linguistics while offering practical information on its application in the professional sector.

Heritage Language Policies around the World
Author: Corinne A. Seals
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317274040
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Heritage language policies define the context in which heritage languages are maintained or abandoned by communities, and this volume describes and analyzes international policy strategies, as well as the implications for the actual heritage language speakers. This volume brings together heritage language policy case studies from around the world, foregrounding globalization by covering five regions: the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia. The countries profiled include the United States, Canada, Argentina, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Uganda, Namibia, Morocco, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji. This volume also highlights an expanded definition of ‘heritage language’, choosing to focus on individual and community identities, and therefore including both Indigenous and immigrant languages. Focusing specifically on language policy relating to heritage languages, the chapters address key questions such as Are heritage languages included or excluded from the national language policy discourse? What are the successes and shortcomings of efforts to establish heritage language policies? What is the definition of ‘heritage language’ in official usage by the local/regional government and stakeholders? How are these language policies perceived by the actual heritage language communities?

La práctica pedagógica intercultural bilingüe
Author: Iván Manuel, Sánchez Fontalvo
Publisher: Editorial Unimagdalena
ISBN: 9587462963
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 119
Book Description
La lucha del pueblo originario ik? por alcanzar un modelo educativo propio, ha sido al mismo tiempo la lucha por sobrevivir al conflicto armado. Como respuesta, se viene implementando desde 1989 un enfoque de educación intercultural bilingüe, denominado etnoeducación, encaminado a satisfacer las necesidades de estas comunidades. Actualmente se está replanteando esta perspectiva por las tensiones emergentes a nivel curricular, dado que sus escuelas acogen estudiantes indígenas y no indígenas. Por ello, se analizaron las prácticas pedagógicas interculturales bilingües que se podrían considerar desde la ecología de saberes en la Institución Educativa Indígena y Pluricultural de Kankawarwa, utilizando como método de investigación la etnografía doblemente reflexiva. Se estableció que las prácticas pedagógicas se desarrollan principalmente en castellano, y que la forma como los docentes no indígenas imparten las clases muchas veces no responde a la cosmovisión ik?, ni a las dinámicas interculturales que su contexto plural les exige.

Research Anthology on Inclusivity and Equity for the LGBTQ+ Community
Author: Management Association, Information Resources
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668436752
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 696
Book Description
For many decades, the LGBTQ+ community has been plagued by strife and human rights violations. Members of the LGBTQ+ community were often denied a right to marriage, healthcare, and in some parts of the world, a right to life. While these struggles are steadily improving in recent years, disparities and discrimination still remain from the workplace to the healthcare that this community receives. There is still much that needs to be done globally to achieve inclusivity and equity for the LGBTQ+ community. The Research Anthology on Inclusivity and Equity for the LGBTQ+ Community is a comprehensive compendium that analyzes the struggles and accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community with a focus on the current climate around the world and the continued impact to these individuals. Multiple settings are discussed within this dynamic anthology such as education, healthcare, online communities, and more. Covering topics such as gender, homophobia, and queer theory, this text is essential for scholars of gender theory, faculty of both K-12 and higher education, professors, pre-service teachers, students, human rights activists, community leaders, policymakers, researchers, and academicians.

International Approaches to Bridging the Language Gap
Author: Huertas-Abril, Cristina-Aránzazu
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799812219
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
In the age of information, an essential priority in the context of international education is the development of language learning and its inconsistencies. The gap between language and education has intermittently grown through time, with mistaken assumptions about how linguistic shortcomings are being solved around the world. Research on comparative educational approaches to teaching verbiage and the foundation of future language development are instrumental in positively impacting the global narrative of dialectal education. International Approaches to Bridging the Language Gap is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of second language teaching as well as social developments regarding intercultural learning. While highlighting topics including curricular approaches, digital competence, and linguistic disparities, this book is ideally designed for language instructors, linguists, teachers, researchers, public administrators, cultural centers, policymakers, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on the latest advancements of multilingual education.

The Role of the History of Mathematics in the Teaching/Learning Process
Author: Sixto Romero Sanchez
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031299000
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
This volume presents multiple perspectives on the uses of the history of mathematics for teaching and learning, including the value of historical topics in challenging mathematics tasks, for provoking teachers’ reflection on the nature of mathematics, curriculum development questions that mirror earlier pedagogical choices in the history of mathematics education, and the history of technological innovations in the teaching and learning of mathematics. An ethnomathematical perspective on the history of mathematics challenges readers to appreciate the role of mathematics in perpetuating consequences of colonialism. Histories of the textbook and its uses offer interesting insights into how technology has changed the fundamental role of curriculum materials and classroom pedagogies. History is explored as a source for the training of teachers, for good puzzles and problems, and for a broad understanding of mathematics education policy. Third in a series of sourcebooks from the International Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematics Teaching, this collection of cutting-edge research, stories from the field, and policy implications is a contemporary and global perspective on current possibilities for the history of mathematics for mathematics education. This latest volume integrates discussions regarding history of mathematics, history of mathematics education and history of technology for education that have taken place at the Commission's recent annual conferences.
