The volume considers the quality of ?encounter? needed in the global and intercultural classroom. The authors address validity, reliability and an authentic need for research which has at its heart ethical practice. Disenfranchisement of the co-participants in research, which is usually not considered, is reviewed in the volume. The manner in which quantitative methods can be used to deliberate on ?praxis? is also explored. Self-reflexive practice is at the heart of EFL research and remains central to this volume. The authors are all praxis based research practitioners and make the work of research accessible, equitable and socially just. This series has at its core the need to state that equitable research is about shared authority and shared power. These nine authors address the periphery and in doing so contest the way the world sees research. The PELT series has a disruptive quality as its raison d?etre and Steinberg et al are asking us to revisit; review and re-assess the notion of our life work as researchers in EAL, ESL, TEFL and TESOL. These nine authors are all global leaders in research inquiry and the provocations offered here are unified in the parading by questioning the more traditional field of research inquiry. The ethic of care and courage is encapsulated in this edition. 410 0$aCritical New Literacies: The Praxis of English Language Teaching and Learning (PELT) 606 $aEducation 606 $aEducation 615 0$aEducation. 615 14$aEducation. 676 $a428.24 702 $aVicars$b Mark$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSteinberg$b Shirley R.$f1952-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMcKenna$b Tarquam$f1954-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCacciattolo$b Marcelle$f1971-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483413803321 996 $aThe Praxis of English Language Teaching and Learning (PELT)$92846642 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07193nam 22006734a 450 001 9910955919703321 005 20251116160421.0 010 $a1-280-08403-0 010 $a9786610084036 010 $a0-585-41511-0 024 7 $a10.1596/0-8213-4867-1 035 $a(CKB)111056486747498 035 $a(OCoLC)559192921 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10070390 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000085243 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11112599 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000085243 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10008216 035 $a(PQKB)11602013 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3050762 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3050762 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10070390 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL8403 035 $a(OCoLC)821698821 035 $a(The World Bank)00065481 035 $a(US-djbf)12227220 035 $a(BIP)7028296 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056486747498 100 $a20001109d2001 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAfrican poverty at the millennium $ecauses, complexities, and challenges /$fHoward White and Tony Killick in collaboration with Steve Kayizzi-Mugerwa and Marie-Angelique Savane 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cWorld Bank$dc2001 215 $axxvi, 139 pages $cillustrations ;$d28 cm 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a0-8213-4867-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 133-139). 327 $aIntro -- Contents -- Foreword -- Acknowledgments -- Acronyms and Abbreviations -- Executive Summary -- Part I Africa's Poverty Problem -- 1.

The poverty trap is more than just an economic phenomenon but a social phenomenon as well. African Poverty at the Millennium: Causes, Complexities, and Challenges is confined to the sub-Saharan region of Africa. The analysis found in Part I of this book, emphasizes the many-sided nature of poverty and the importance of going beyond generalizations about the poor. Part II looks at the various causes of poverty in Africa, stressing the powerful ill-effects of a combination of sluggish past economic growth and large, possibly widening, inequalities. It also draws attention to the strength of the social and political factors contributing to poverty. Part III outlines an anti-poverty strategy, highlighting the necessity for an inclusive and far-reaching approach, on the basis of joint action by concerned governments and donors. The poor in Africa are triply disadvantaged. Firstly, there is a widening international gap as African social indicators lag behind the rest of the world, partly as a result of poor growth. Secondly, by Africa's poor performance in turning income to social welfare. Thirdly, by national disparities in health and education between the poor and non-poor. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aPoverty$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a339.4/6/096 700 $aWhite$b Howard$f1960-$0125748 701 $aKillick$b Tony$0122852 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955919703321 996 $aAfrican poverty at the millennium$94470549 997 $aUNINA
