Sommario/riassunto

This volume draws together the viewpoints and research findings of leading scholars and informed local practitioner-researchers throughout Asia-Pacific about the issues and challenges of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) at higher education institutions in that region. Specifically, it addresses four key themes: Macro-level EMI policy and practice; institutional implications for pedagogy; stakeholder perceptions of EMI; and challenges of interpersonal interaction in EMI contexts. The book is among the first to critically examine the emerging global phenomenon of English as a medium of instruction, and the first title to exclusively explore Asia-Pacific tertiary contexts. It will be of particular interest to policy-makers in international education and tertiary educators seeking blueprints for practice, as well as scholars and postgraduate students of English as a lingua franca, English for academic purposes, academic language and learning, and language education in Asia-Pacific.

Sommario/riassunto

La letteratura occitana medievale è stata fortemente segnata dalla presenza della lirica trobadorica, fenomeno di portata culturale fondamentale nella storia letteraria europea e di statura tale da oscurare, nella produzione o nella trasmissione testuale, gli altri generi. Secondo la fortunata espressione di Alberto Limentani, il corpus non lirico è definito “eccezione narrativa”: conservato in codici unici spesso guasti, afflitto da un frequente anonimato, consta di prodotti numericamente esigui, ma non per questo insignificanti, e tuttavia poco valorizzati dagli studi. Le opere sopravanzate sono in larga misura di ottima qualità, e talune rappresentano, in tutto o in parte, piccoli gioielli nella struttura e nella forma espressiva. Quest’antologia di testi, corredati di traduzioni e note di commento, intende costituire, allora, uno strumento per la conoscenza di alcune delle opere più rappresentative della narrativa occitana, ricadenti nei generi agiografico, epico, romanzesco e del racconto.
