The interrelated issues analyzed in this book are as follows. With the integration of Europe, there are free movements in goods, services, short and long term capital, and direct investment. The German mark is the key currency in Europe and its value will affect the equilibrium bilateral exchange rates of the other currencies in the European Union. It is important to examine the following issues. What have been the fundamental determinants of the real value of the mark since the period of floating? What will be the effects of German integration upon exchange rates? How can we measure whether currencies are misaligned or if exchange rates are at their equilibrium values? Are short term capita...
This book presents comprehensive, thorough and updated analyses of key cognitive individual difference factors (e.g., age, intelligence, language aptitude, working memory, metacognition, learning strategies, and anxiety) as they relate to the acquisition, processing, assessment, and pedagogy of second or foreign languages. Critical reviews and in-depth research syntheses of these pivotal cognitive learner factors are put into historical and broader contexts, drawing upon the multiple authors' extensive research experience, penetrating insights and unique perspectives spanning applied linguistics, teacher training, educational psychology, and cognitive science. The carefully crafted chapters provide essential course readings and valuable references for seasoned researchers and aspiring postgraduate students in the broad fields of instructed second language acquisition, foreign language training, teacher education, language pedagogy, educational psychology, and cognitive development.

Der professionelle Umgang mit Heterogenität zählt zu den zentralen Aufgaben pädagogischen Handelns von Lehrkräften. Dabei ist Schule selbst auch 'Produzent' von Heterogenität. Sie bringt Heterogenität auf mindestens drei Arten und Weisen hervor: durch voraussetzungsreiche didaktische Arrangements, durch soziokulturell affine Leistungskonzepte und durch Zuschreibungen von Lehrkräften, Mitschüler*innen und anderen schulischen Akteur*innen. Kein Wunder, dass es in der Erziehungswissenschaft, der Soziologie, der Psychologie und den Fachdidaktiken in jüngerer Zeit zu einer deutlichen Ausweitung des Heterogenitätsdiskurses gekommen ist, in der Regel jedoch in fachimmanenten Diskursen. De...
Schulleistungsstudien belegen wiederkehrend die persistent vorhandene Korrelation zwischen der sozialen Herkunft und den Bildungserfolgen von Schüler:innen. Durch die Kumulation ungünstiger Heterogenitätsdeterminanten können über Kompositions- und Nachbarschaftseffekte weitere, überindividuelle Benachteiligungen entstehen. Dies trifft insbesondere für sozialräumlich segregierte Schulen, wovon zunehmend Grundschulen betroffen sind, zu. Über zugrundeliegende Mechanismen ist aber noch wenig bekannt. Um eine mögliche (Teil-)Erklärung für die schulischen Leistungsdifferenzen zu erhalten, verfolgt die Untersuchung einerseits das Ziel, den sozialräumlichen Einfluss auf die individuelle...
