In every discussion on the role that language plays in our lives, every orator – from prominent politicians and corporate figures to linguists, educational experts, and others – concedes that language is important in all spheres of life. Language is both personal and introspective, as well as public and communal. Without it, we would not be able to communicate and articulate our thoughts and feelings to ourselves, to those in our inner circles, and to those in the world at large.

This book represents a collection of papers that relate to the challenges and problems posed by the ever-changing and diversified nature of today’s classroom.

These case studies report on a variety of contextual issues and problems that are specified to particular learning contexts. This book, therefore, thus not only offers examples of tried and tested teaching st...
This is the eighth volume in the Comparative Austronesian series.

Eine Reise nach Japan verspricht den Zauber alter Tempel und Schreine, die Stille dunkler Zedernwälder und das erholsame Baden in heißen Quellen. Eine Reise nach Japan ist aber auch die Begegnung mit Technologie und Innovation auf höchstem Niveau, mit modernster Architektur und neuesten Medien- und Mode-Trends. In Japans Großstädten pulsiert das Leben rund um die Uhr, in abgelegenen Tälern und Wäldern wandert man hingegen für Stunden ohne Anzeichen jeglicher Zivilisation. Dieser Reiseführer hilft, die versteckten Schönheiten Japans auch außerhalb der üblichen Reiserouten zu entdecken. Zahlreiche praktische Informationen ermöglichen Individualreisen auch in die weniger bekannten Regionen dieses faszinierenden Landes. Hinweise zu (meist kostenlosen) Apps für große Städte und touristische Regionen bieten zusätzliche Informationen zu Orientierung, Nahverkehr, Sehenswürdigkeiten, und Unterkünften.
