Bilingual Education
This volume contains interdisciplinary essays on bilingual education in various countries of the world. Some contributions deal with policy and curricular issues with regard to minority and majority language, some consider the enrichment aspect of bilingual education.

African Poverty at the Millennium
This explores the complex nature of poverty in Africa. It identifies its political and social causes and assesses the impact of recent economic growth on the welfare of poor people. To permanently reduce poverty, it calls for realistic, home-grown policy initiative, governmental commitment, a realignment of the donor community's role, and the development of institutional structures, such as poverty monitoring systems, that can hold the governments accountable.
Social Justice through Multilingual Education
The principles for enabling children to become fully proficient multilinguals through schooling are well known. Even so, most indigenous/tribal, minority and marginalised children are not provided with appropriate mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MLE) that would enable them to succeed in school and society. In this book experts from around the world ask why this is, and show how it can be done. The book discusses general principles and challenges in depth and presents case studies from Canada and the USA, northern Europe, Peru, Africa, India, Nepal and elsewhere in Asia. Analysis by leading scholars in the field shows the importance of building on local experience. Sharing local solutions globally can lead to better theory, and to action for more social justice and equality through education.
Research in University Pedagogy
This book offers an overview of the research carried out in didactics on the teaching and learning of science at university from the perspective of university pedagogy. The first part sheds light on the links between university pedagogy and didactics, by studying the nature and place of disciplinary pedagogical knowledge at university and the training of academics through the prism of professionalization. The second part questions the teaching practices of academics from a disciplinary approach, from the point of view of the impact of the research discipline on the declared practices, or that of the links between the resources mobilized in research and teaching activities. The third part proposes a sociological look at these practices, in terms of the analysis of the discourses of institutional actors or of practices in situ. The book concludes with a synthesis that develops the main issues, challenges and difficulties that remain at the end of this book.

Les recherches en pédagogie universitaire
Les pratiques d’enseignement à l’université sont depuis les années 2000 la cible d’intérêts vifs et variés, notamment en matière d’innovation pédagogique soutenue, entre autres, par la promotion du numérique. Cet ouvrage propose un panorama des recherches menées en didactique sur l’enseignement et l’apprentissage des sciences à l’université dans la perspective de la pédagogie universitaire. Les recherches en pédagogie universitaire se présente en trois parties. La première éclaire les liens entre pédagogie universitaire et didactique, par l’étude de la place des savoirs pédagogiques disciplinaires à l’université et de la formation des enseignants-chercheurs au prisme de la professionnalisation. La deuxième partie questionne les pratiques d’enseignement des enseignants-chercheurs avec une approche disciplinaire. La troisième partie propose un regard sociologique sur ces pratiques, par l’analyse de discours des acteurs institutionnels ou de pratiques in situ. L’ouvrage se conclut par une synthèse qui développe les principaux enjeux, défis et difficultés qui subsistent à l’issue de cet ouvrage.
Déconnexion immédiate
"Paris, demain. Une nuit d’été dans la capitale tentaculaire assommée par la canicule. Les rues sont calmes, peut-être un peu trop. Pas un souffle d’air, le silence pour seule rumeur. Et pour cause : véhicules à l’arrêt, poussettes abandonnées, corps inanimés sur le bitume... La cité, en un instant, est devenue le théâtre d’un mal étrange et foudroyant. Pour les rescapés, le cauchemar commence."
