Certaines d'entre elles ont été présentées lors de la conférence intitulée « Visibilité et collaboration des chercheurs en communication et en éducation interculturelles en Finlande », qui s'est déroulée en octobre 2004 à l'Université de Turku. D'autres viennent s'ajouter à l'ouvrage, offrant ainsi des éclairages à la fois complémentaires et différents sur les problématiques de l'interculturalité.

Analyse des contenus audiovisuels : métalangage et modèles de description


Book Description

L'enjeu majeur pour les bibliothèques et archives numériques d'aujourd'hui est de permettre à tout usager une appropriation active de leurs fonds textuels et plus particulièrement audiovisuels. L'appropriation active implique l'adaptation des données audiovisuelles aux besoins et intérêts spécifiques d'un utilisateur ou d'un groupe d'utilisateurs. Analyse des contenus audiovisuels propose une étude du métalangage de description. Cet ensemble de modèles fonctionnels est un outil sémantique nécessaire à l'analyse concrète et personnelle d'un corpus de textes audiovisuels documentant l'univers du discours d'une archive audiovisuelle. Cet ouvrage dresse en premier lieu le cadre théorique et méthodologique de référence qui est celui de la sémiotique du texte audiovisuel. Les deux parties suivantes développent d'une manière détaillée et concrète, le travail de l'analyste d'un corpus audiovisuel à l'aide d'un métalangage de description. Enfin, les différents éléments métalinguistiques qui le composent sont analysés.

Making the Most of Intercultural Education


Book Description

Many different words are used to deal with diversity in education, such as cross-cultural, meta-cultural, polycultural, multicultural and intercultural, as well as terms like global and international. Some are trendier than others, some more political. Some of these words are used in certain parts of the world, while others are rejected. This volume concentrates on the notion of the ‘intercultural’ and makes sense of its polysemy in education. As such, in research and practice, my intercultural may not mean the same as your intercultural. My intercultural might have different values and ideologies than your intercultural. The contributors also propose considerations on how to make the most of ‘renewed’, critical and reflexive approaches to intercultural education in a breadth of contexts and countries, including Argentina, Australia, France, Iceland, Tunisia and the UK. The book will appeal to students and teachers, as well as to confirmed researchers who will gain inspiration and new insights into the increasingly contested notion of the ‘intercultural’ in education.




Teacher Education in the 21st Century


Book Description

How can teacher education prepare future teachers for their work in increasingly diverse classrooms? How does the concept of plurilingualism inform language educational policy in different countries? What are the current opportunities and challenges in the domain of internationalisation in teacher education? The contributions to this volume address these questions from different theoretical perspectives, and with a strong emphasis on the actual practices in various classrooms. At a time when simplistic, essentialist, biased, and discriminatory ideologies and practices see a rebirth in public discourse, and represent a risk to education, the contributors here take stock and describe some worthwhile alternatives. The first set of chapters addresses the integration of ethnic, religious, and gender diversity in teacher education colleges. In the second part, the notion of plurilingualism in different educational contexts is explored from a critical sociolinguistic point of view. The chapters in the third part present evidence from innovative international academic exchange programs and how they contribute to socio-spatial learning amongst others. The common denominator in this volume is the notion of convergence – the coexistence of people and practices in diverse contexts.
