Training Readers and Writers for a Multimodal and Multimedia Society: Cognitive Aspects
Contemporary societies have been advancing gradually towards the construction of a model of a literate population. Significant efforts have been made so that most citizens can access various sources today, using their reading and writing abilities, but are we really prepared to face the information age? Is information literacy being promoted from schools? Are individual capabilities being considered? Do we have a true critical literacy? This article collection aims to show an overview of the most recent research; ranging from the individual to the collective, from the subject's competencies and their beliefs, to the way to develop them from school.

The Role of Religion in Shaping Politeness During Greeting Encounters in Arabic. A Matter of Conflict Or Understanding
Politeness is one of the very important issues in the field of sociolinguistics and pragmatics, as it can be seen in almost every type of our interactions. Since the evolving of the politeness theory (Brown and Levinson 1978), cross-cultural pragmatics has gained the attention of many researchers in this field. However, the Arab society has been far less investigated. Therefore, this book widens the scope of cross-cultural pragmatics by investigating politeness in (Moroccan) Arabic and contrasting the behavior of Arab and German speakers with regard to one type of politeness, namely the speech act of greeting. Furthermore, the implications of this study for foreign language teaching and cros...

This volume explores the current position of CLIL on the three main fronts where it is attracting particular attention in specialized literature, namely, implementation, research, and teacher training. To this end, it presents evidence from national and international research projects, governmentally-financed pedagogical initiatives, grassroots experiences and investigations, and inter-institutional training programs which offer insights into how CLIL is working in action on the afore-mentioned three levels. The opening section of the book (“CLIL in action: Practical considerations”) provides a window into how CLIL implementation is unravelling at the grassroots level vis-á-vis key aspe...

Del multiculturalismo a los mundos distópicos
La cambiante sociedad actual plantea continuamente nuevos retos y demandas a una escuela que, en muchas ocasiones, se caracteriza por su lentitud en dar respuesta a las necesidades que se van generando. Es necesario, por tanto, un cambio educativo, en los objetivos y metodologías, que permita responder adecuadamente a los retos que la sociedad plantea: una educación personalizada, con el alumnado en el centro del proceso, que fomente la creatividad y la curiosidad, que despierte el gusto por aprender, que contribuya a una formación integral y que conduzca a aprendizajes bien fundamentados, sólidos y duraderos. En esta línea, el presente volumen, que está destinado al profesorado de lenguas y literaturas en activo, así como a los alumnos universitarios que se preparan para ser docentes, recoge investigaciones, reflexiones y propuestas que examinan nuevos enfoques, ejemplifican diferentes estrategias y se cuestionan acerca de la formación inicial en el ámbito de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la lengua y la literatura.
Crossing Boundaries
The articles in this volume were originally presented in spring 2009 at an international conference hosted by the Institute of Germanic and Romance Languages and Cultures at Tallinn University in Estonia. The theme of «crossing boundaries» is reflected in the rich mix of genres, cultures, applications, and critical theories considered here. Indeed, these articles demonstrate that crossing boundaries can be a companionable journey as well an intellectually enriching experience.
