Adds significantly to our understanding of meaning makingThis book presents a pragmatic perspective on the development of intercultural communicative competence and intercultural understanding by language learners in the foreign language classroom and in study abroad contexts. Using data from role-play interactions, intercultural episodes and student reflections, including both US learners of Spanish and multilingual learners of other languages, the book examines how a focus on pragmatics and metapragmatic awareness aids the development of intercultural competence. It also addresses current topics such as intercultural impoliteness, the negotiation of and reflection on speech acts at the discourse level, pragmatic competence, agency and pragmatic resistance. The book concludes with a reflection on what it means to be an intercultural speaker along with suggestions for both teaching and assessment.Figures and Tables Acknowledgements Transcription Conventions Introduction Chapter 1.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of young learners’ additional language learningThis book provides the first comprehensive overview of young children’s language learning in pre-primary and primary education. It collates research to date on language development and pedagogy among children learning a language in addition to their home language(s) in instructional settings, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the topic and directions for further study. The book promotes a learner-centered approach to research and teaching and encourages critical reflection on how best to conduct research among children. It recognizes the substantial diversity of young language learning experiences and pays attention to individual differences and variability in children’s language development, embracing an ecological perspective sensitive to contextual factors. Closing the gap between research and practice, each chapter opens with pedagogical or policy-related questions, explores relevant theories and research findings from instructed second language acquisition, and offers discussion questions and recommended reading for further reflection and study. This will be invaluable reading for all those who are undertaking research and working with young language learners.Abbreviations Introduction Chapter 1.

In What Universities Can Be, the high-profile educator Robert J. Sternberg writes thoughtfully about the direction of higher education in this country and its potential to achieve future excellence. Sternberg presents, for the first time, his concept of the ACCEL model, in which institutions of higher education are places where students learn to become Active Concerned Citizens and Ethical Leaders. One of the greatest problems in our society is a lack of leaders who understand the importance of behaving in ethical ways for the common good of all. At a time when new models of education are sorely needed, universities have the opportunity to claim the education of future leaders as their mission. In the course of laying out the ACCEL concept and how such a model might be achieved, Sternberg offers many insights into the realities of higher education as it is practiced today and suggests ways that we could move in a better direction, one that would produce graduates who make the world a better place in which to live. Sternberg''s compelling narrative and convincing argument address all aspects of universities, such as admissions, financial aid, instruction and assessment, retention and graduation, student life, diversity, finances, athletics, governance, and marketing. This book is essential reading for educators and laypeople who are interested in learning how our universities work and how they could work better.

First book dedicated to ISL that examines service learning in foreign language classroomsThis book provides a much-needed overview of the theory and practice of intercultural service learning (ISL), an approach that combines curricular learning, intercultural encounters and community service. It includes a model that outlines the essential components of this pedagogy and which is intended to serve as a foundation for practitioners developing their projects. Practical examples offer templates and inspiration, while the scholarly examination of the projects demonstrates the approach's potential. The book concludes with considerations on how to assess intercultural and democratic competences in ISL projects and practical implementation guidelines. Suitable for both in-service foreign language educators at all levels and for use in teacher training, the book provides a practical guide to a holistic pedagogy that is increasingly being used by educators keen to engage their students in an ever more interconnected world.Tables and Figures Contributors Acknowledgements Abbreviations Student Voices Michael Byram: Foreword Petra Rauschert: Introduction  Part 1: Intercultural Service Learning (ISL) – Concepts and Standards 1.1 Petra Rauschert and Jacqueline Alexander: Interculturality in the Foreign Language Classroom 1.2 Jacqueline Alexander: Defining Intercultural Service Learning 1.3 Jacqueline Alexander: Quality Standards 1.4 Jacqueline Alexander: Effects and Potential of ISL  1.5 Petra Rauschert: Critical Perspectives  1.6 Petra Rauschert: Pedagogies Related to ISL  Part 2: Theoretical Frameworks 2.1 Petra Rauschert: Integrating ISL and Intercultural Citizenship Education  2.2 Petra Rauschert: A Comprehensive Model of Intercultural Service Learning in Foreign Language Education  2.3 Petra Rauschert: Structuring ISL Projects Part 3: ISL in Practice: Ideas, Examples and Evaluation 3.1 ISL Type I (Within One Country) 3.1.1 Petra Rauschert and Claudia Mustroph: Global Peace Path  3.1.2 Jacqueline Alexander, Petra Rauschert and Michelle Stannard: Around the World in 30 Recipes 3.1.3 Ilianna Mitskopoulou: Museum Project 3.2 ISL Type II (Between Countries) 3.2.1 Petra Rauschert: Happiness – Perspectives from India and Germany 3.2.2 Petra Rauschert: Students Training Managers 3.2.3 Xinrui Chang, Petra Rauschert and Aman Verma: Wiser Decisions – An Ecopedagogical Approach Based on Literature  Part 4.

Ensuite, passez aux cours du niveau « intermédiaire », puis testez et renforcez vos connaissances avec le niveau « conversations ».Cet audiobook est divisé en plusieurs parties. Bien qu'il permette différentes façons d'apprendre et réponde à divers besoins, cet audiobook a été conçu pour vous aider à améliorer votre capacité à comprendre, parler et mémoriser le roumain.Dans la partie 1, vous entendrez des phrases en roumain décodées pour chaque syllabe grâce à une diction très lente et très clairement prononcée avec des répétitions. Juste avant que chaque phrase soit prononcée, vous entendrez la traduction, afin que vous puissiez toujours comprendre ce qui est dit. La partie 2 se concentre uniquement sur l'amélioration de votre capacité d'écoute, ce qui améliorera votre compétence à dialoguer avec un interlocuteur roumain. Ce chapitre vous obligera à écouter très attentivement les nuances de la langue.Dès la partie 3, vous pourrez constater vos progrès concernant votre capacité à parler et à comprendre le roumain. La traduction orale sera suivie de deux répétitions en roumain à une vitesse naturelle. Tout en apprenant à comprendre le roumain lorsqu'il est parlé naturellement, les parties 3 et 4 vous aideront à mémoriser un nouveau vocabulaire et des phrases complètes. Dans la partie 5, vous pourrez vérifier par vous-même tout ce que vous avez appris.
