As part of that joint conference, a workshop on language and education in Africa was organized by Carolyn Adger of the Center for Applied Linguistics. That workshop became the inspiration for this volume."--Introduction.1-62616-152-6 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Layers of language : some bad news and some good news on multilingualism, language policy, and education in Africa /Elizabeth C.

In a small group, a speaker uses an often unwritten and endangered mother tongue that is rarely used in school. A national indigenous language-written, widespread, sometimes used in school-surrounds it. An international language like French or English, a vestige of colonialism, carries prestige, is used in higher education, and promises mobility-and yet it will not be well known by its users.

Osterhage1st ed. 2014.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (139 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-662-43766-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Objectives -- Project Organisation -- Quality Management in the Context of Acceptance -- Subproject Organisation Quality Management -- Acceptance Directive -- Methods of Data and Software Migration -- Special Cases -- Documentation -- Security Aspects -- Project Management -- Project Controlling -- References -- Subject Index.In a comprehensive approach this book covers the end-to-end process from request management to change management, error management and migration management to acceptance testing and final data clean up. It is based upon nearly twenty years of experience in tests, acceptance and certification, when introducing medium to large IT systems including complex software for administrations and industry in many countries. There exist a variety of methodologies with different characteristics having emanated from various schools and consultancies to support such activities. However, it is obvious that because of the diversity in organisational levels in companies the rigor of application of such methodologies quite often suffers with regard to more pragmatic approaches. In view of economic considerations this may be unavoidable. For this reason no new or consolidated methodology shall be presented but an approach oriented on practical criteria coming closer to reality and offering methods, which can provide assistance on a case-by-case basis.Computer architectureManagement information systemsComputer scienceComputer software—ReusabilityComputer organizationComputer system failuresDatabase managementComputer System Implementationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13057Management of Computing and Information Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24067Performance and Reliabilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I12077Computer Systems Organization and Communication Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13006System Performance and Evaluationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13049Database Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18024Computer architecture.Management information systems.Computer science.Computer software—Reusability.Computer organization.Computer system failures.Database management.Computer System Implementation.Management of Computing and Information Systems.Performance and Reliability.Computer Systems Organization and Communication Networks.System Performance and Evaluation.Database Management.003.3004004.24004.6005.74Osterhage Wolfgang Wauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut835227BOOK9910298970803321IT Quality Management2276651UNINA
