This book shows how formal, non-formal, and informal education play important roles in the shaping of bilingual minds. The contributions gathered here examine how societies influence language education, taking into account different perspectives, as well as foreign language education in schools, native bilingualism, and societal stances towards bilingualism.
Multilingualism has become an increasingly common global phenomenon especially in the last two decades. Therefore, multilingual programmes have now been regarded as a cornerstone of education systems in many countries around the world. Learning multiple languages helps us plug into a globalised world and strengthen links with a multitude of speakers from a diversified reality we live in. Thanks to the researched cases described in the chapters, further developments aimed at fostering multilingual practices in the contemporary world will be enhanced. The chapters included in the present volume, provide an overview of current theory, research and practice in the field. They deal with such prom...
Virtual exchange refers to education programmes in which constructive communication and interaction takes place between individuals or groups from different cultural backgrounds with the support of educators or facilitators. Evaluating and Upscaling Telecollaborative Teacher Education (EVALUATE, http://www.evaluateproject.eu/) was a European policy experimentation financed by Erasmus+ which studied the impact of a telecollaborative model of virtual exchange on student teachers.

This entailed students interacti...

El exceso de voluntad de verdad que protagonizó buena parte de la historia de nuestro pensar convirtió la literatura y sus géneros en subordinados de lujo de una racionalidad huérfana, solitaria y deshumanizante. Esta crisis se refleja muy especialmente en la quiebra de las fronteras entre verdad y mentira, sujeto y objeto, realidad y ensoñación o esencia y apariencia. La pregunta acerca de lo que somos y de lo que es el mundo, propia del filosofar, exige, para obtener una respuesta satisfactoria, recuperar el diálogo entre nuestros dos grandes instintos que bien pueden comprenderse en las figuras del filósofo y del poeta. Nuestra convicción es recobrar este diálogo para mantener vivo un verdadero filosofar, es decir, una forma de hacer filosofía que asuma nuestro pathos trágico. Este libro quiere ser lugar de encuentro entre filósofos y estudiosos de la literatura, y pretende superar la rigidez de las disciplinas. Un pensar que reconoce la literatura y sus géneros como lugar privilegiado para la encarnación de las principales perplejidades y encrucijadas ontológicas.

This volume assesses the state of the art of parallel corpus research as a whole, reporting on advances in both recent developments of parallel corpora – with some particular references to comparable corpora as well– and in ways of exploiting them for a variety of purposes. The first part of the book is devoted to new roles that parallel corpora can and should assume in translation studies and in contrastive linguistics, to the usefulness and usability of parallel corpora, and to advances in parallel corpus alignment, annotation and retrieval. There follows an up-to-date presentation of a number of parallel corpus projects currently being carried out in Europe, some of them multimodal, w...
