Em tempos de questionamentos em relação à validade e à relevância das pesquisas produzidas nas Ciências Humanas e Sociais; em um momento em que os cursos de educação superior, em especial os das áreas mencionadas, sofrem graves ataques; e nosso direito à liberdade de expressão é ofuscado por um discurso e atitudes conservadores que ganham cada dia mais força, este livro, Bate-papo com educadores linguísticos: Letramentos, formação docente e criticidade, surge para dar voz a professores, pesquisadores, linguistas e linguistas aplicados para que discutam a Educação Linguística em inglês por meio de temas atuais e, mais do que nunca, necessários. Poderia ser mais uma obra em que especialistas são convidados a responder uma ou algumas questões propostas pelos organizadores, mas não é. Os questionamentos são formulados por alunos graduandos e pós-graduandos da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, integrantes do Grupo de Estudos sobre Educação Crítica em Língua Estrangeira (GEEC-LE), além de professores da rede pública, inspirados pelas leituras de textos escritos e palestras proferidas pelos autores dos diversos capítulos.
Estamos vivenciando, no momento em que se publica esta obra, um ataque às áreas das humanidades, mais especificamente às formações docentes realizadas em âmbitos universitários estaduais e federais em nosso país. Os letramentos, bem como as políticas linguísticas e educacionais, que têm como princípio uma educação com vistas à emancipação crítica e cidadã por parte dos educandos. Assim, o livro está dividido em três partes: a primeira discorre sobre os letramentos, sob vieses teóricos e práticos; a segunda explora as interfaces entre os letramentos e os estudos linguísticos; já a terceira focaliza as políticas linguísticas.
Nestes anais são apresentados os textos do 1º Simpósio Internacional de Abordagens Qualitativas nas Pesquisas em Humanidades, contando com a contribuição de Antonio Faundez (que escreveu juntamente com Paulo Freire o livro Por uma pedagogia da pergunta), Edivanda Mugrabi e Erineu Foerste. Contam também com resumos expandidos de 16 das investigações em desenvolvimento no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Humanidades, distribuídas nas mais variadas temáticas, dentro das duas linhas: práticas de pesquisa em ensino de humanidades e formação de professores em ensino de humanidades. Os textos aqui organizados referem-se ao V SEHUM - Seminário de Pesquisa em Ensino de Humanidades, ocorrido em 09 e 10 de novembro de 2020.
Innovative Approaches to Education for Sustainable Development (Environmental Education, Communication and Sustainability).
The environment and contested notions of sustainability are increasingly topics of public interest, political debate, and legislation across the world. Environmental education journals now publish research from a wide variety of methodological traditions that show linkages between the environment, health, development, and education. The growth in scholarship makes this an opportune time to review and synthesize the knowledge base of the environmental education (EE) field. The purpose of this 51-chapter handbook is not only to illuminate the most important concepts, findings and theories that have been developed by EE research, but also to critically examine the historical progression of the field, its current debates and controversies, what is still missing from the EE research agenda, and where that agenda might be headed. Published for the American Educational Research Association (AERA).
The teaching/learning/use of English plays a key role in the geopolitical South. It is important to consider how players in different contexts are impacted by English since globalization and one of its agent, internationalization of higher education, have more positive impacts on the "North" than in the "South" mainly due to a linguistic bias which favors English-speaking countries and those which, despite speaking other native languages, adopted English as the language of instruction. So as to see how these forces are interpreted in the geopolitical South this book offers a glimpse of how English is taught, learned, used and seen in different contexts in Latin America and in the global "South".
This book aims at introducing readers to the different ways in which environmental education is viewed and perceived on an international basis. It is one of the outcomes of the First World Environmental Education Congress (FWEEC) held in Espinho, Portugal, on 20th-24th May, 2003. FWEEC gathered 282 participants from 38 countries, offering an international platform for educators, scientists, researchers, scholars, politicians, technicians, activists, the media and teachers to present and debate key issues in environmental education world wide. It includes many of the papers delivered in the Congress and a few additional ones, in an attempt to both document international experiences and promot...
In this definitive reference volume, almost fifty leading thinkers and practitioners of autoethnographic research—from four continents and a dozen disciplines—comprehensively cover its vision, opportunities and challenges. Chapters address the theory, history, and ethics of autoethnographic practice, representational and writing issues, the personal and relational concerns of the autoethnographer, and the link between researcher and social justice. A set of 13 exemplars show the use of these principles in action. Autoethnography is one of the most popularly practiced forms of qualitative research over the past 20 years, and this volume captures all its essential elements for graduate students and practicing researchers.
In the last decade and a half, great progress has been made in the development of concepts and models for mixture toxicity, both in human and environmental toxicology. However, due to their different protection goals, developments have often progressed in parallel but with little integration. Arguably the first book to clearly link ecotoxicology an
This book explores implications for applied linguistics of recent developments in technologies used in second language teaching and assessment, language analysis, and language use. Focusing primarily on English language learning, the book identifies significant areas of interplay between technology and applied linguistics, and it explores current perspectives on perennial questions such as how theory and research on second language acquisition can help to inform technology-based language learning practices, how the multifaceted learning accomplished through technology can be evaluated, and how theoretical perspectives can offer insight on data obtained from research on interaction with and through technology. The book illustrates how the interplay between technology and applied linguistics can amplify and expand applied linguists’ understanding of fundamental issues in the field. Through discussion of computer-assisted approaches for investigating second language learning tasks and assessment, it illustrates how technology can be used as a tool for applied linguistics research.
