Sprachpflegediskurse in Deutschland und Frankreich
Sprachpflege hat sich in Deutschland und Frankreich als vielschichtiges gesellschaftliches Phänomen immer wieder an neue historische und soziokulturelle Entwicklungen angepasst. Die heute konstant voranschreitende Digitalisierung gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation gibt Anlass, den aktuellen Ausprägungen von Sprachpflege innerhalb einer zunehmend entgrenzten öffentlichen Diskussion um Sprachen und Sprecher auf den Grund zu gehen. In kontrastiver Perspektive führt die Studie die wesentlichen Tendenzen historischer und aktueller Metasprachdiskurse im Rahmen eines diskurslinguistischen Ansatzes zusammen. Ausgehend von einem multiperspektivischen Ansatz, der Sprachpflege als öffentliches, historisches und ideologisches System in den Blick nimmt, leistet das Buch einen Beitrag zu einer differenzierten Dokumentation von Sprachpflege als transnationalem Diskurs. Eine kritische Theoriebildung und breite empirische Dokumentation verfolgen das Ziel, Metasprachdiskurse als komplexe Gebilde in einer umfassend vernetzten Wissensgesellschaft herauszuarbeiten.
Science for All Americans
In order to compete in the modern world, any society today must rank education in science, mathematics, and technology as one of its highest priorities. It's a sad but true fact, however, that most Americans are not scientifically literate. International studies of educational performance reveal that U.S. students consistently rank near the bottom in science and mathematics. The latest study of the National Assessment of Educational Progress has found that despite some small gains recently, the average performance of seventeen-year-olds in 1986 remained substantially lower than it had been in 1969. As the world approaches the twenty-first century, American schools-- when it comes to the adva...

Achieving Inclusive Education in the Caribbean and Beyond

The second section considers how exclusion and marginalization still occur across selected Caribbean islands. It provides both qua...

Putting Nigeria to Work
Public debate in Nigeria on the country s progress since its return to democracy in 1999 has been dominated by two seemingly opposite themes. The first theme is the strong growth performance of the non-oil economy. This success has been marked by sharp increases in agriculture, trade, and construction and by the emergence of new industries in the financial, telecommunications, and entertainment sectors, supported by sound macroeconomic policies and structural reforms. The second, opposing theme is the seeming failure of Nigeria s much improved economic performance to reduce unemployment, especially among the young. Rising levels of unemployment have increased militancy among the young and im...
