Informal Learning and Institution-wide Language Provision
“Theoretically wise and practically powerful, this book is about how to take full advantage of advances in technology and the learner autonomy they afford, rather than simply adapt to or deny them. It issues a clarion call to language educators and administrators interested in building on recent advances in language learning via the informal avenues of digital communications.” --Mark Dressman, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US, Professor and Chair of English at Khalifa University, UAE “This important and original book challenges us to rethink the design and delivery of the language learning opportunities universities provide for their students. Drawing ...
Demystifying Corpus Linguistics for English Language Teaching
The aim of this edited volume is to demystify corpus linguistics for use in English language teaching (ELT). It advocates the inclusion of corpus linguistics in the classroom as part of an approach to ELT in which students engage with naturally occurring language. The first chapter provides a basic but essential introduction to corpus linguistics, including sections on corpora and corpus methods, and this is followed by a review of the use of corpus linguistics in ELT. Chapters on the traditional ELT strands of skills, vocabulary and grammar as well as chapters on pluricentric approaches (on language and culture, World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca) flow naturally from the second ...
Global Citizenship, Ecomedia and English Language Education
This book presents a unique framework for the inclusion of ecomedia in the English language classroom to help learners cultivate global citizenship. Foregrounding learner agency in a world at risk, the author proposes a framework that hinges on human rights and critical eco-cosmopolitanism to help learners position themselves in discourses on climate change and act for transformation. The book discusses eco-documentaries as multimodal, factional texts against the background of cutting-edge research, refuting a definition based on the binary of fiction and non-fiction. Translating the insights gained from this discussion to the language education context, learners are conceptualised as active...

Sprachen lernen integriert - global, regional, lokal
Mit und in Sprachen erwerben wir nicht nur die Fähigkeit zu kommunizieren. Sprachen erschließen uns zugleich Zugänge zur Welt, zu sozialen und kulturellen Sinngebungen und individuellen, sozialen und kulturellen Identitäten und Gruppen. Wenn wir Sprachen lernen, schaffen wir uns nicht nur die Möglichkeit, mit anderen Individuen zu kommunizieren und mit ihnen zu kooperieren, sondern wir eröffnen uns zudem Möglichkeiten der Integration. Zugleich signalisieren wir, wenn wir Sprachen lernen oder deren Erlernen ermöglichen, dass wir andere Zugänge zur Welt, andere Bedeutungszuweisungen und Identitäten anerkennen. Wir geben zu erkennen, dass wir andere Sprachen wertschätzen und ihnen ge...
Gebaude- Und Produktbezogenes Energieeffizienzrecht
English summary: As one of the three pillars of German and European energy, environmental and climate protection policy, the increase of energy efficiency represents an all-encompassing social challenge - also on a juridical level. This dissertation focuses on the presentation and interpretation of energy efficiency legislation relating to buildings and products. Within this context the inclusion of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU, the draft law relating to the regulation of the Energy Conservation Act of 2013 and the Energy Conservation Regulations of 2013 make an essential contribution to closing a significant research gap. In addition, both building-related as wel...
