Reclaiming the Local in Language Policy and Practice (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)
by A. Suresh CanagarajahThis volume inserts the place of the local in theorizing about language policies and practices in applied linguistics. While the effects of globalization around the world are being discussed in such diverse circles as corporations, law firms, and education, and while the spread of English has come to largely benefit those in positions of power, relatively little has been said about the impact of globalization at the local level, directly or indirectly. Reclaiming the Local in Language Policy and Practice is unique in focusing specifically on the outcomes of globalization in and among the communities affected by these changes. The authors make a case for why it is important for local social practices, communicative conventions, linguistic realities, and knowledge paradigms to actively inform language policies and practices for classrooms and communities in specific contexts, and to critically inform those pertaining to other communities. Engaging with the dominant paradigms in the discipline of applied linguistics, the chapters include research relating to second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, literacy, and language planning. The majority of chapters are case studies of specific contexts and communities, focused on situations of language teaching. Beyond their local contexts these studies are important for initiating discussion of their relevance for other, different communities and contexts. Taken together, the chapters in this book approach the task of reclaiming and making space for the local by means of negotiating with the present and the global. They illuminate the paradox that the local contains complex values of diversity, multilingualism, and plurality that can help to reconceive the multilingual society and education for postmodern times.

Innovation Strategy for the Future of Teaching and Learning: Addressing the Digital Education Paradox
by A. Trevor Wood-Harper Mohammed AlbakriThis book delves into the contemporary education paradox between traditional and digital education, with particular emphasis on the contemporary digital education tools and technologies that can facilitate education practices beyond pedagogy. The central argument of this book is that traditional education methods are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of education institutions and stakeholders, which is why digital education is the future to satisfy these needs. It considers the holistic nature of education practice beyond pedagogy and digital education technology to include other practices such as knowledge management, policy, and ethics, among other practices led by contemporary ICTs. It will be a vitally important resource for scholars and students of education practice, emerging technologies and innovation management, as well as business and organisational ethics.

The Illustrated Dictionary of Bible Manners & Customs
by A. Van DeursenThis comprehensive volume provides detailed descriptions, illustrations, and context for many of the Bible&’s historical and cultural references. Bible stories are full of objects, manners, and customs that would have been easily recognized by people living in the Middle East during ancient times. Towns have their walls and gates; agriculture has its threshing instruments and carts; the tabernacle has its altars and lavers of brass. But while the terms used to describe these items were once common knowledge, they leave many modern readers wondering about their specific meanings. This volume offers a clearer understanding of the Bible through accessible information about its many historical references. Organized by subject matter, it includes chapters on everything from vegetation to coinage, matrimony, weaponry, transportation, idolatry, and holy places, among many other topics. Based on archeological research, The Illustrated Dictionary of Bible Manners & Customs helps readers attain a more vivid sense of the Bible&’s rich background and longstanding influence.

by Andrew R. Morrison Mirja Sjöblom A. Waafas Ofosu-Amaah Mayra BuvinicUpon signing the Millennium Declaration in 2000, the international community committed itself to eight development goals with timebound targets and measurable indicators.

It also contains an assessment of the effectiveness of different strategies in achieving MDG3 and the financial requirements needed to attain MDG3 by 2015.

Wade Boykin Robert SlavinThis double issue presents summaries of the scholarly and practical-reform accomplishments of the first five years of the Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed at Risk (CRESPAR).

This issue, summarizing much of the research from CRESPAR's first five years, is presented by the full team of authors in his loving memory.

Diversity and Choice in Higher Education (Routledge Library Editions: Higher Education #32)
by A.G. WattsOriginally published in 1972 Diversity and Choice in Higher Education focuses on the diversity of institutions and the corresponding notion that students should be allowed to choose freely between them, regardless of distance from home. The book includes an exhaustive assessment of relevant research evidence, not only from Britain but also from the United States and other countries. The author examines such topics as the amount of diversity and choice permitted in the higher education systems of different countries, the extent to which the British system is diversified and the way in which students are distributed within it. He also explores certain hypotheses relating to the way pupils make their choice, examines critically the concept of matching students to institutions and discusses alternative models of student distribution.
