Production of Cultural Policy in Russia: Authority and Intellectual Leadership

2020

The study focuses on the main changes that have occurred in the framework of policy design and participation in policy-making. An attempt is made to combine Foucauldian analytical frameworks of power and discourse with a Gramscian hegemonic approach to political studies that was mainly advocated by the Essex sc…

2023

In this chapter the traditional legal issues concerning the identification of the subjects of international law is examined according to an original perspective.

Third and most importantly: the legal position of individuals is not examined in general terms, but with specific regard to so…

Good Servants but Poor Masters: On the Important Role of Textbooks in Teaching English Pronunciation

2014

Textbooks are the most commonly used teaching materials among European EFL teachers (Henderson et al., 2012), and it is undeniable that they have a central role in foreign language teaching overall. Scholars across time have claimed that the role of textbooks cannot be overestimated: textbooks determine a major part of classroom teaching (see Sobkowiak, 2012). This paper discusses the influence of textbooks in English pronunciation teaching in an EFL environment. It presents a study in which the occurrence of four typical pronunciation teaching task types and four pronunciation teaching topics were analysed in three data sources: textbooks, classroom observations, and learner interviews. Th…

New media and perennial problems in foreign language learning and teaching

The book concerns the ways in which the new media shape communication along with educational expectations and practices in foreign language classrooms.

The focus of the book is two-fold. On the one hand, the authors demonstrate how using social networks, videoconferencing, mobile phones, wikis, and computer-mediated interaction contributes to the development of language skills, negotiated interaction, autonomy, and intercultural competence. On the other, they discuss “old” issues pertaining to the role of voca…
