Crossover Picturebooks
This book situates the picturebook genre within the widespread international phenomenon of crossover literature, examining an international corpus of picturebooks — including artists’ books, wordless picturebooks, and celebrity picturebooks — that appeal to readers of all ages. Focusing on contemporary picturebooks, Sandra Beckett shows that the picturebook has traditionally been seen as a children’s genre, but in the eyes of many authors, illustrators, and publishers, it is a narrative form that can address any and all age groups. Innovative graphics and formats as well as the creative, often complex dialogue between text and image provide multiple levels of meaning and invite reade...
The Student Assessment Handbook
A guide to current practice in assessment, particularly for those professionals coming to terms with new pressures on their traditional teaching practices. Increased use of IT, flexible assessment methods and quality assurance all affect assessment, and the need to diversify and adapt traditional assessment practices to suit new modes of learning is clearer than ever. The Student Assessment Handbook looks at the effectiveness of traditional methods in the present day and provides guidelines on how these methods may be developed to suit today's teaching environments. It is a practical resource with case studies, reflection boxes and diagnostic tools to help the reader apply the principles to everyday teaching. The book provides advice on a wide range of topics including: * assessing to promote particular kinds of learning outcomes * using meaningful assessment techniques to assess large groups * the implications of flexible learning on timing and pacing of assessment * the pros and cons of online assessment * tackling Web plagiarism and the authentication of student work * mentoring assessment standards * assessing generic skills and quality assurance.
Re-thinking Picturebooks for Intermediate and Advanced Learners: Perspectives for Secondary English Language Education
Der didaktische Wert von picturebooks für den Englischunterricht in der Grundschule gilt als unumstritten. Jedoch gibt es in Forschung und Unterrichtspraxis derzeit kaum Ansätze, wie der Transfer dieses vermeintlich kindlichen Literaturmediums in die Sekundarstufe gelingen kann. Dieser Band legitimiert picturebooks als komplex angelegte Textform, die sich auch mit fortgeschrittenen Lernenden zu kompetenz- und inhaltsorientierter Arbeit im Englischunterricht anbietet. Die im Band versammelten konzeptuellen und empirischen Perspektiven zeigen angehenden und praktizierenden Lehrkräften konkret auf, wie vielfältig picturebooks den Unterricht bereichern können. Eine große Bandbreite praktischer Beispiele verdeutlicht ihr Potenzial für den Englischunterricht der Sekundarstufen - von der Förderung verschiedener literacies und literarischen Lernens bis hin zur Fokussierung von Themen wie Umwelt, sozialer Gerechtigkeit oder kultureller Diversität.

Literarische Mehrsprachigkeit und ihre Didaktik
Wenn auch marginalisiert, stellt literarische Mehrsprachigkeit keineswegs ein randständiges Phänomen der Literatur dar. Vielmehr lässt sie sich in verschiedensten Epochen aufspüren und sie manifestiert sich in vielfältigen sprachlich-ästhetischen Formen. Dabei eröffnen Sprachmischungen, Hybridisierungen und Neuformierungen ästhetische Zwischenräume sowie erweiterte Möglichkeiten der Deutung und Interpretation. Im Fokus dieses Bandes stehen Ästhetiken, Entwicklungen, Formen und Funktionen literarischer Mehrsprachigkeit in Geschichte und Gegenwart, die auch hinsichtlich ihrer didaktischen Potenziale untersucht werden. Neben literaturwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven erörtern die Beiträge insbesondere literaturdidaktische Ansätze, die literarische Mehrsprachigkeit in poetischen Texten ins Zentrum stellen. Dabei werden verschiedene Formen des Inter-, Trans- oder Heterolingualen didaktisch reflektiert und/oder aus einer dominanzsprachkritischen Perspektive für den Literaturunterricht fruchtbar gemacht.

Nordic Latin Manuscript Fragments
Much of what is known about the past often rests upon the chance survival of objects and texts. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the fragments of medieval manuscripts re-used as bookbindings in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Such fragments provide a tantalizing, yet often problematic glimpse into the manuscript culture of the Middle Ages. Exploring the opportunities and difficulties such documents provide, this volume concentrates on the c. 50,000 fragments of medieval Latin manuscripts stored in archives across the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. This large collection of fragments (mostly from liturgical works) provides rich evidenc...
