Sommario/riassunto |
|
Research in periodical literature has demonstrated conclusively that the nineteenth century in Britain was the age of the periodical. It also has shown that, in Victorian society, the circulation of periodicals and newspapers was both larger and more influential than that of books. The six essays in this volume investigate the extent to which this was equally true of Britain's colonies during the period up to 1900. In chapters devoted to periodical publishing in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Southern Africa, and the 'outposts' of the Empire (Ceylon, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Malaya and Singapore, Malta, and the West Indies), the contributors also consider the function and importance of periodicals in colonial life. They identify and describe all locally |

produced publications that appeared at weekly or longer intervals and that contained, for example, local news, poetry, fiction, criticism, commentary on the arts, news from home, shipping information and commodities reports. Each chapter presents an evaluation of the quantity and quality of guides available to periodical literature in each region, from basic bibliographies of periodicals, directories, and finding aids, to microfilm records and databases on the Internet. |

Sommario/riassunto |

"Some pedagogists have struggled with what they see as a lack of literacy among learners immersed in the communicative approach to learning and how to bridge this gap as learners reach the upper levels. Literacies in Language Education introduces and provides practical guidance on how to teach world languages using a multiliteracies approach, which focuses on critical engagement with texts and intercultural development to further language learning. Melding the sometimes conflicting interests in language depts of literature and linguistics, the authors embrace an expanded understanding of literacies to capture the dynamism of language and its contexts of use; |

the importance of preparing students to interact with the range of text types they will encounter in their academic, workplace, and personal lives; and the multicultural and multilingual landscape of secondary and postsecondary language classrooms. The book provides clear and practical guidance about what the approach is, its benefits, and how to create curricula for it; how to use the approach in teaching; and how to train teachers to use the approach--each a key access point to pedagogical change. This book provides teachers and program admins immediate steps to take toward designing and implementing this approach in their classes and curricula. The authors are well-known in this area for their teacher training at CARLA, a well-respected center at the U of MN. CARLA hosts multiple workshops on the topic annually and is invited to do so around the country; they will adopt this book in those workshops."-- |
