Perspectives from the European Language Portfolio
Using constructivist principles and autonomous learning techniques the ELP has pioneered innovative and cutting edge approaches to learning languages that can be applied to learning across the spectrum.

Negotiating Identity in Modern Foreign Language Teaching
This edited book examines modern foreign language teachers who research their own and others’ experiences of identity construction in the context of living and teaching in UK institutions, primarily in the Higher Education sector. The book offers an insight into a key element of the educational and socio-political debate surrounding MFL in the UK: the teachers’ voices and their sense of agency in constructing their professional identities. The contributors use a combination of empirical research and personal reflection to generate knowledge about MFL teachers’ identity that can enhance how they are perceived in the social and educational establishments and raise awareness of key issues affecting the profession. This book will be of particular interest to language teachers, teacher trainers, applied linguists and students and scholars of modern foreign languages.

Ciencia y género
Dentro de los denominados "estudios sobre las mujeres", la relación entre éstas y las ciencias ha ido ocupando un lugar cada vez más importante.

Discours préliminaire sur la philosophie en général
"Comme je voulais rendre la philosophie utile au genre humain, j'ai cru qu'il me fallait agir de sorte que je n'aille rien admettre sinon ce qui a été assez expliqué et suffisamment prouvé, que je réduise les vocables de notions confuses à notions distinctes et de signification vague à signification fixe, et que j'instaure des propositions déterminées que, jusqu'ici, aucun de ceux qui philosophent n'ont sues."--P. [4] of cover.
Managing Plurilingual and Intercultural Practices in the Workplace
The contributions in this volume stem from different lines of research and represent both a continuation and an advancement of the European DYLAN project.

On the one hand, a special focus is put on the...
