Développée conjointement par l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) et l'Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), à travers l'Institut de la Francophonie pour l'Éducation et la Formation (IFEF), l'Initiative francophone pour la formation à distance des maîtres (IFADEM) participe depuis 15 ans aux efforts internationaux pour assurer une éducation de base équitable, inclusive et de qualité pour tous. IFADEM s'attache ainsi à améliorer les compétences des enseignants en poste dans l'enseignement du et en français, dans une quinzaine de pays, essentiellement en Afrique francophone. Son originalité, outre l'étendue de son champ d'intervention, réside dans la volonté d'adapter ses approches pédagogiques aux possibilités et aux besoins de chacun de ses partenaires, en co-construction avec eux. En raison de cette démarche fortement ancrée dans les contextes nationaux, IFADEM s'est développée sous des formes variées, dans le cadre d'un modèle de formation hybride privilégiant tantôt l'autoformation, tantôt les échanges entre apprenants et/ou avec des tuteurs en présentiel ou à distance via Internet et la téléphonie mobile. Cet ouvrage retrace l'évolution de cette Initiative et souligne son impact en matière de formation continue des maîtres en Francophonie. Il a également l'ambition de confronter IFADEM à d'autres approches en matière de formation des maîtres, afin de permettre au lecteur de mieux appréhender les perspectives tracées pour son avenir à court et moyen terme.

"Language and Decoloniality in Higher Education brings together a collection of diverse papers that address, from various angles, the issue of decoloniality, language and transformation in higher education. It reflects the authors' cumulative years of experience as educators in higher education in different southern contexts. Distilled as case studies, the authors use a range of decolonial lenses to reflect on questions of knowledge, language and learning, and to build a reflexive praxis of decoloniality through multilingualism. Besides a number of decolonial persepectives which readers will be familiar with, this volume also explores a conceptual framework, Linguistic Citizenship, developed over the past two decades by scholars in southern Africa. In this collection, Linguistic Citizenship is used as a lens to 'think beyond' the inherited colonial matrices of language which have shaped this region (and many other southern contexts) for centuries, and to 're-imagine' multilingualism - and semiotics, more broadly - as a transformative resource in the broader project of social justice. Although each chapter has firm roots in the South African context, these studies have much to offer others in their 'quest for better worlds'. Of particular interest to global scholars are the authors' recounts of how they have grappled with leveraging the country's multilingual resources in the project of promoting academic access and success in the face of historical hierarchies of language and social power"--

Over the past 40 years, Jim Cummins has originated theories which have had a profound effect on the education of multilingual learners across the world. In this book he traces the development of these theories, and addresses the critiques they have received and their subsequent impact on his thinking and the application of his theories in schools.

"Tracing the deep connections between philosophy and education, Ryan McInerney argues that we must use philosophy to reflect on the significance of educational practice to all human endeavour. He uses a broad approach which takes in the relationships governing philosophy, education, and language, to reveal education's fundamental achievements and metaphysical significance. The realization of educational ideals and policies are read alongside growing skepticism regarding the theoretical and practical significance of philosophical thinking, and the emphasis on resource efficiency and measurable outcomes which characterise schooling today. It is from this context that McInerney defends the value inherent to the philosophy of education. Drawing upon contemporary continental and analytic thinkers including Nietzsche, Gadamer, and Wittgenstein, McInerney charts the role of education in shaping the child's metaphysical transformation through language acquisition. Connecting early years and primary school education, McInerney pinpoints rationality as the crucial factor which produces critical, thinking beings. He presents the pursuit of philosophically minded education as a rational pursuit which enables us to philosophise and educate others in turn, dispensing with the epistemological and conceptual foundationalisms of the past."--

"This edited volume presents a collection of empirical studies examining the teaching and learning processes in science classrooms in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) contexts. It is a timely contribution to the rapidly growing body of CLIL research in response to scholars' consistent calls for more classroom-based research on the issues in integration of content and language teaching in lessons. With the dual goal of content and language learning, students in CLIL programmes are also facing double challenges - mastery of abstract, cognitively demanding content knowledge and unfamiliar academic language. Focusing on the notion of "scaffolding", this edited volume demonstrates how science teachers can provide appropriate and timely scaffolding for their students to overcome the challenges in CLIL science classrooms. With studies from different educational settings (Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore and Australia) and epistemological paradigms, and adopting a variety of research designs, this volume will provide key insights into CLIL pedagogy and teacher education. Originally published as special issue of Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education 7:2 (2019)"--
