Multilingual Individuals and Multilingual Societies
The 25 contributions of this volume represent a selection from the more than 120 papers originally presented at the International Conference on Multilingual Individuals and Multilingual Societies (MIMS), held in Hamburg (October 2010) and organized by the Collaborative Research Center Multilingualism after twelve years of successful research. It presents a panorama of contemporary research in multilingualism covering three fields of investigation: (1) the simultaneous and successive acquisition of more than one language, including language attrition in multilingual settings, (2) historical aspects of multilingualism and variance, and (3) multilingual communication. The papers cover a vast variety of linguistic phenomena including morphology, syntax, segmental and prosodic phonology as well as discourse production and language use, taking both individual and societal aspects of multilingualism into account. The languages addressed include numerous Romance, Slavic and Germanic varieties as well as Welsh, Hungarian, Turkish, and several South African autochthonous languages.
Exploring Language Frameworks
This book explores the impact of language frameworks on learning, teaching and assessment, viewed from the perspective of policies, procedures and challenges.

The selected papers focus on the conference's core themes as follows: the effect of frameworks on teaching, learning and assessment; the value of frameworks for teachers, learners and language policymakers; the contribution of frameworks towards describing particular languages.

Die Validitaet der Skalen des Gemeinsamen Europaeischen Referenzrahmens Fuer Sprachen
Diese Arbeit untersucht die theoretische und empirische Validität der Skalen für Wortschatz und Flüssigkeit des Gemeinsamen europäischen Referenzrahmens für Sprachen (GeRS) für Italienisch und Deutsch. Sie zeigt, dass die Skalen auf keiner kohärenten theoretischen Grundlage basieren und empirische mündliche Lernersprache mangelhaft erfassen.
Sprache und Studienerfolg bei Bildungsausländerinnen und Bildungsausländern
An deutschen Hochschulen ist die Zahl internationaler Studierender in den letzten Jahren stetig gewachsen. Gleichzeitig brechen diese Studierenden sehr häufig ihr Studium ab (zuletzt knapp 50% der Bildungsausländer:innen im BA-Studium). Bislang waren die Gründe für diese Situation fast vollständig unerforscht. Der vorliegende Band fasst die Ergebnisse des Längsschnittprojekts 'Sprache und Studienerfolg bei Bildungsausländer:innen' (SpraStu) zusammen, das sprachliche Aspekte des Studiums dieser Gruppe fokussierte. SpraStu zeigt, dass Deutschkompetenzen für den Studienerfolg von Bildungsausländer:innen eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Ergebnisse verweisen ferner auf Schieflagen beim sprac...
Language Textbooks in the era of Neoliberalism
This book examines how neoliberalism finds expression in foreign language textbooks. Moving beyond the usual focus on English, Pau Bori explores the impact of neoliberal ideology on Catalan textbooks. By comparing Catalan textbooks to English textbooks, this book interrogates the similarities and differences between a minor and a global language in the age of neoliberalism. Drawing on insights from critical theory and critical pedagogy, this study provides a fresh perspective on foreign language textbooks and second language education more broadly. Language Textbooks in the Era of Neoliberalism paves the way for new critical perspectives in language education that will challenge the current hegemony of neoliberalism.
