Second Language Learning in the Early School Years: Trends and Contexts Oxford University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

At a time when children around the world are increasingly required to learn a second language in the primary classroom, Second Language Learning in the Early School Years: Trends and Contexts provides a much-needed overview of current themes and research on child second language learning. This book provides a detailed exploration of L2 language learning in the early years, examining past and present research evidence on bilingualism, second language, and foreign language learning in childhood, and providing a broad overview of research findings across a range of different contexts. The discussion focuses on learning contexts that intersect with educational provision in the early school years and a comparison of L2 outcomes across those contexts. Murphy discusses current trends towards a younger starting age for foreign language learning. She evaluates to what extent 'younger is better' in L2 learning in the early school years, and what other variables may contribute to successful child L2 outcomes. Reviewing the research, Second Language Learning in the Early School Years: Trends and Contexts argues that young children can learn multiple languages without adverse effect on their overall language development in any of their languages. This book is part of the Oxford Applied Linguistics Series, a series of titles providing thorough yet accessible coverage of controversial topics related to language use. The goal of the series is to influence the quality of language education through publishing and disseminating relevant scholarship and research.Additional material is available on the website: www.oup.com/elt/teacher/sllearly

Benchmarking Library, Information and Education Services Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Because of the current global turbulence, individuals, leaders, and whole institutions are keen to learn more about what is happening and how they can develop sustainable solutions to both immediate challenges and longer-term scenarios. People are looking for inspiration. This book provides it through the theme of Qualitative Benchmarking (QB), a practical tool for sharing expertise and enhancing the effectiveness of organizations, services, or teams. The centrepiece of the book is a description, report, and analysis of a major international QB exercise, culminating in a set of good practice statements. A series of surrounding chapters provide international sector-leading insights through the application of QB in different contexts. These include an analysis of third sector organizations, e-libraries, marketing information services, vocational training in higher education, the creative arts, and the role of partnerships in organizational openness. Benchmarking Library, Information and Education Services will help leaders and managers to make good strategic choices for the future. It will provide a practical tool for sharing expertise and enhancing the effectiveness of library and information organizations, services, or teams through an international base of experience and innovation, learning from others what works and does not work, especially in the digital world in which we operate. It will help to provide the foundations of ongoing research in the development of collections and services. It contributes to practical outputs of general benefit to the sector including customers, clients, or stakeholders, offering ideas for how to identify comparative strengths and weaknesses and to improve or enhance present practices, regardless of how well institutions currently perform: even the best organizations can still find areas in which to improve. The benefits of the QB methodology are applicable to individual institutions and across broader partnerships or consortia within the public sector, including beyond libraries and educational institutions. The key benefits are: summation and understanding of institutional responses, creation of sustainable long-term strategies, identification of key practical approaches to future provision, information on current and future good practice, collective ways of learning lessons for forward planning, a framework for the evaluation of systems and services and improved effectiveness through shared development.

The Living Environmental Education Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This open access book is designed and written to bridge the gap on the critical issues identified in environmental education programs in Asian countries. The world and its environments are changing rapidly, and the public may have difficulty keeping up and understanding how these changes will affect our way of life.  The authors discuss various topics and case studies from an Asian perspective, but the content, messaging, and lessons learned need not be limited to Asian cultures. Each chapter provides a summary of the intensive research that has been performed on pro-environmental behaviors, the experience of people working in industry and at home, and their philosophies that guide them in their daily lives. We highlight humanity's potential to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) by understanding better the environmental psychology, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability and stewardship protection elements that contribute to responsible environmental citizenship. The content of the chapters in this book includes a discussion of the crucial issues, plans, and evaluations for sustainability theories, practices, and actions with a proposed management structure for  maximizing the cultural, social, and ecological diversity of Asian experiences compared to other theories and cultures  internationally. We intend that the data in this book will provide a comprehensive guide for students, professors, practitioners, and entrepreneurs of environmental education and its related disciplines using case studies that demonstrate the relationship between the social and behavioral sciences and environmental leadership and sustainability.

EFPA ESG Handbook 2022

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Even if the IPCC reports are more and more alarming, scepticism is always present when it comes to climate change and the impact of human activity on it, as the Trump administration has proven in the past. Scepticism is also present when we talk about ESG criteria or Sustainable Finance. Around one-third of the finance professionals view Environmental, Social and Governance issues through the lens of negative screening without trying to understand the deeper context.Globally, and similar to climate change, scepticism on Sustainable Finance is massively due to a lack of knowledge and a lack of clear and common definitions for its key concepts. How many people talk about Sustainable Finance without having a clear point of view on the issue?Thanks to regulatory pressures and public opinion, Sustainable Finance is becoming THE new standard for financial centers across Europe. However, this lack of knowledge and not having a common basis are still present. Everybody knows what is an equity or a bond but few have a clear understanding of Green Bonds, Impact Investing or positive or negative screening
