Learning Chinese in a Multilingual Space: An Ecological Perspective on Studying Abroad (Multilingual Education #41)
by Peiru Tong Linda TsungThis book examines the benefits of an Australian in-country study (ICS) in China programme and explores ways to maximise the short-term ICS experience in a multilingual space. The book employs an ecological perspective which has seldom been used to examine the study abroad context. It emphasises the importance of the space itself as an arena of interaction, belonging and power, where conduct and modes of communication are often regulated by political authorities and societal expectations. Specifically, the book focuses on the following: • the extent to which the ICS facilitated interaction in different settings • the way in which interaction during ICS contributed to language learning • the degree in which the interaction during ICS contributed to culture learning and • the role of identity in the learning process in the ICS. The main argument of the book is that while the ICS promoted multilingual learning space for in-class and out-of-class interactions, which further facilitated language and culture learning to a great extent, Australian students’ identities and self-concepts also played a core mediating role throughout individual learning trajectories.

Lehramtsstudium mit Migrationshintergrund: Einflussfaktoren auf die Studienfachentscheidung und den Studienverlauf
by Șeyma GülenWeshalb gibt es so wenige Lehrkräfte mit Migrationshintergrund an Schulen in Deutschland? Dieses Buch liefert anhand der Analyse des Studienwahlverhaltens und des Studienerfolges von Lehramtsstudierenden mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund Antworten auf diese Frage. Die empirischen Befunde - basierend auf den NEPS Daten - zeigen, dass die Ursachen der Unterrepräsentanz von Lehrkräften mit Migrationshintergrund stärker auf die Studienwahl als auf den Studienerfolg zurückzuführen sind. Studienberechtigte mit Migrationshintergrund zeichnen sich in ihrer Berufswahl durch Merkmale aus, die die Wahl eines Nicht-Lehramtsstudienganges begünstigen. Dazu zählen unter anderem eine hohe Aufstiegsorientierung sowie Risikobereitschaft und ein bilingualer Habitus. In ihrem Studienerfolg unterscheiden sich Lehramtsstudierende mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund hingegen nicht wesentlich voneinander. Die Autorin Șeyma Gülen hat am Institut für Soziologie der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen im Bereich der Migrations- und Bildungsforschung promoviert. Derzeit arbeitet sie als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Leibniz School of Education in Hannover.
