SUMMARY
This book thoroughly examines the interrelationship between people鈥檚 skills in their native language and their second language (L2) aptitude and proficiency, as well as the anxiety they experience while learning it. Drawing assertions from reputable scholarly sources published over the last 30 years, the author challenges the central premise that anxiety significantly affects people鈥檚 assimilation and proficiency in second languages. Instead, the book deduces that the primary determin

Why do terse Hebrew Bible narratives bother to mention clothing? Often presented without description nor overt contribution to plot, why were these references retained in the final forms of these stories? Through the use of a multifaceted analytical toolkit this study exhaustively examines the five clothing pericopes in the book of Joshua. Embedding each text in its various layers of context, you will observe a trope of evolution of identity carried along by sartorial language and discover the u
This book helps classroom teachers and educational leaders to support Asian American students in a variety of school settings, exploring their dual language use, literacy development and multifaceted identity (re)construction.
Contributing to the fields of multi/plurilingual and multi/pluricultural education, it synthesizes key philosophical concepts, theories and perspectives that contemporary educators should be familiar with when working with racially, linguistically and culturally diverse
This book is a unique image-based bilingual (English and Spanish) book of textual and visual narratives of gender-based violence (GBV) in the UK and Mexico, framed with a critical commentary that sets these stories in the context of GBV in both countries.
Visual and textual stories convey the 'felt' experience of GBV, engaging readers and audiences in the apparently mundane as well as the shocking. Such stories help contest the prominence of crime statistics in evidencing GBV, statistics whic

This book investigates the translingual pedagogies of women and queer/non-binary transnational teachers of English in three programs in the US and Spain. By storying their pedagogies, the author demonstrates how they build and cultivate connections within (bodies, minds and spirits), with communities and with the environment around them, transgressing binary thinking and dualistic worlds.
Through the experiences of these teachers, the author addresses some of the most pressing questions facin
