Book Synopsis Language and Education in Eritrea by : Chefena Hailemariam
Download or read book Language and Education in Eritrea written by Chefena Hailemariam and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In multilingual societies, school is an arena in which three potentially conflicting dimensions of language policy meet: language as a right, language as a resource, and language as a problem. School is an instrument in the implementation of a country's official language policy, and also an institution in which about language confront the actual behavior of teachers and pupils about language. Consisting of different ethnolinguistic groups, Eritrea is an intriguing example of a multilingual country facing complex interdependencies of language, social mobility, ethnicity, and nationalism. It is special in the sense that, unlike many other postcolonial African countries, Eritrea has decided on a policy of mother-tongue education.

Book Synopsis State-Building and Multilingual Education in Africa by : Ericka A. Albaugh
Download or read book State-Building and Multilingual Education in Africa written by Ericka A. Albaugh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do governments in Africa make decisions about language? What does language have to do with state-building, and what impact might it have on democracy? This manuscript provides a longue durée explanation for policies toward language in Africa, taking the reader through colonial, independence, and contemporary periods. It explains the growing trend toward the use of multiple languages in education as a result of new opportunities and incentives. The opportunities incorporate ideational relationships with former colonizers as well as the work of language NGOs on the ground. The incentives relate to the current requirements of democratic institutions, and the strategies leaders devise to win elections within these constraints. By contrasting the environment faced by African leaders with that faced by European state-builders, it explains the weakness of education and limited spread of standard languages on the continent. The work combines constructivist understanding about changing preferences with realist insights about the strategies leaders employ to maintain power.

Book Synopsis Teaching English in Africa by : Anderson, Jason
Download or read book Teaching English in Africa written by Anderson, Jason and published by East African Educational Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching English in Africa is a practical guide written for primary and secondary school teachers working all over the continent. This book relates the practice of English language teaching directly to the African context. As well as covering the underlying theory of how children learn languages and how teachers can best facilitate this learning, it also provides practical resources and ideas for activities and techniques that have proved successful in English classrooms in Africa, both at primary and secondary level. It is intended to be a practical guide, so references and citations are kept to a minimum and concepts are presented using examples that are likely to be familiar to most teachers working in Africa. If there is a bias in this book, it is towards the needs of teachers working in low-resource, isolated contexts in Africa, as these teachers are so often neglected by literature on teaching methodology.
Book Synopsis The Tigre Language of Gindaˁ, Eritrea by : David Elias
Download or read book The Tigre Language of Gindaˁ, Eritrea written by David Elias and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Tigre Language of Gindaˁ, Eritrea, David L. Elias documents the dialect of the Tigre language that is spoken in the town of Gindaˁ in eastern Eritrea. While the language of Tigre is spoken by perhaps one million people in Eritrea and Sudan, the population of Gindaˁ is fewer than 50,000 people. Elias describes basic aspects of phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicography. In contrast to other dialects of Tigre, of which approximately a dozen have been identified, Tigre of Gindaˁ exhibits the only recorded examples in Tigre of gender-specific first person possessives, e.g. ʕənye ‘my eye’ (masc) vs. ʕənče ‘my eye’ (masc/fem), and a new form of the negative of the verb of existence, yahallanni ‘there is not’. Contact with Arabic and Tigrinya has resulted in numerous loanwords and a few biforms in Tigre of Gindaˁ.
Book Synopsis Literacy Acquisition in Multilingual Eritrea by : Yonas Mesfun Asfaha
Download or read book Literacy Acquisition in Multilingual Eritrea written by Yonas Mesfun Asfaha and published by . This book was released on 2009-11-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports on a multidisciplinary research project that aimed to compare literacy acquisition in different languages and scripts in Eritrea (Horn of Africa), where linguistic and cultural diversities are acknowledged in the language and education policies. The policy promotes primary education in the nine languages and the alphasyllabic Ge'ez, alphabetic Latin and Arabic scripts used in the country. Using theoretical frameworks and methodologies from different disciplines such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and education, the study compared literacy acquisition and transfer of literacy skills from first to second language across different languages and scripts. It also surveyed literacy attitudes and values, and the social uses of literacy among the nine ethnolinguistic groups in Eritrea. With additional data coming from classroom observations of literacy instruction practices in four languages, the study provides a compelling picture of comparative literacy acquisition and instruction in a multilingual educational context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook The Semitic Languages offers a comprehensive reference tool for Semitic Linguistics in its broad sense.

The handbook is the most comprehensive treatment of the Semitic language family since many decades.

This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume challenges traditional approaches to foreign language education and proposes to redefine them in our age of international migration and globalization. Foreign language classrooms are no longer populated by monolingual students, but increasingly by multilingual students with highly diverse language backgrounds. This necessitates a new understanding of foreign language learning and teaching. The volume brings together an international group of researchers of high caliber who specialize in third language acquisition, teaching English as an additional language, and multilingual education. In addition to topical overview articles on the multilingual policies pursued in Europe, Africa, North America, and Asia, as well as several contributions dealing with theoretical issues regarding multilingualism and plurilingualism, the volume also offers cutting edge case studies from multilingual acquisition research and foreign language classroom practice. Throughout the volume, multilingualism is interpreted as a valuable resource that can facilitate language education provided it is harnessed in appropriate conditions.
