Contemporary Research in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning
This volume is focused on the teaching and acquisition of language for special, professional or general purposes, as well as the needs and challenges associated with foreign language pedagogy in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) or, more generally, Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). It presents innovative methodology and technology-integrated approaches that will serve to benefit teacher development and assist language practitioners in enhancing student investment and motivation. A pragmatic tool for utilization at the local level, this collection provides an international panorama of language pedagogy that is of great use to both junior and senior researchers. It will also serve as a source of inspiration for future and seasoned language practitioners and in-service teacher educators.
Cultural Diversity in Cross-Cultural Settings
The 21st century is marked by the intensive movement of people across international borders. While languages are used as a means of interaction across the globe, the nuances of communication vary from culture to culture. This book explores how the misperception of cultural values and norms may result in misapprehension and communication breakdowns in various settings.
ESP teaching and teacher education: current theories and practices
This volume addresses issues related to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teaching practices as well as ESP teacher education as they arise in today’s constantly changing and developing world. ESP Teaching and Teacher Education: current theories and practices, supported by the Language Centre of the Cyprus University of Technology, puts together a selection of ten chapters concentrating on ESP teacher education and ESP teaching methodology, including the integration of new technologies in both fields. The volume may be of interest to ESP teacher trainers or language teacher trainers in general, ESP practitioners, ESP researchers, policymakers, material developers, students, as well as any other ESP specialist who may be interested in being updated about the latest developments in the ESP field.
Transnational English Language Assessment Practices in the Age of Metrics
This edited volume examines how transnational English language assessment practices are envisioned, enacted, and justified by different stakeholders, including students, teachers, and universities in different geographical contexts, and what would be the multi-level consequences of such practices. Bringing together diverse perspectives from across the Global South and Global North, the book argues that the field of English language assessment has always been transnational, despite an absence of a research that explicitly examines English language assessment practices in relation to transnationalism. The contribution of this volume lies in filling in this critical scholarly gap. Through a wid...
Mobility of Knowledge, Practice and Pedagogy in TESOL Teacher Education
This edited book brings together chapters from diverse geographical and educational contexts to examine the question of transnationalism in English Language teacher education. While the activities that connect people, institutions and cultural practices across the borders of nation-states have gained interest in fields such as applied linguistics, TESOL and migration studies in recent years, there has been little research so far into how transnationalism intersects with language teacher education, and how existing practices can be better integrated into teacher education programmes. The authors fill this gap by introducing and examining existing transnational practices - including cross-cultural settings, study abroad programmes and online teacher education - then offering multiple dialogues on mobility of knowledge, practice and pedagogy in teacher education. This book will be of interest to language teachers, teacher educators, and students and scholars of applied linguistics, cross-cultural studies, and migration studies.

Lucky Strikes and a Three Martini Lunch
This second edition of Lucky Strikes and a Three Martini Lunch: Thinking About Television’s Mad Men explores the attributes of the AMC series that allow it to be such a popular and vital contribution to contemporary cultural discourse. Set in the 1960s in New York, the Emmy and Peabody-winning series follows the competitive, seductive, and oftentimes ruthless lives of the men and women of Madison Avenue’s advertising agencies. Many alluring and captivating qualities constitute the Mad Men experience: the way it evokes nostalgia, even from those who did not live in the era being portrayed; its interrogations of identities, and how these explorations of the past illuminate viewers’ conce...
Educação em Perspectiva: Contextos Políticos, Linguísticos e Culturais
Compartilhar contextos com desafios locais e internacionais possibilita impulsionar o empoderamento de comunidades socialmente marginalizadas, economicamente vulneráveis e muitas vezes silenciadas, estejam elas localizadas no Norte ou no Sul global, o que se configura em um convite para ampliar os horizontes e os conhecimentos sobre o fenômeno educativo ao redor do mundo, aspectos que delineiam seu diferencial. Nessa seara, a coletânea Educação em perspectiva: contextos políticos, linguísticos e culturais é um esforço coletivo visando à reflexão sobre estudos e pesquisas em educação, nas suas mais variadas dimensões, tanto no âmbito escolar quanto no ensino superior, envolvendo pesquisadores de diferentes países, como Brasil, França e Suíça. É direcionada a estudantes do ensino superior, pesquisadores e demais interessados, contribuindo com o aprofundamento das discussões sobre educação em cenários culturais, linguísticos e políticos e suas manifestações no Brasil e para além do Atlântico.
