Paperback. Zustand: Good. Mensuram Bonam (A Good Measure) is a landmark Vatican document that provides Catholic investors with a framework for aligning financial stewardship with the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching. First issued under the guidance of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences and introduced with a foreword by Cardinal Peter K.A. Turkson, it responds to the urgent need for investment practices that go beyond profit to foster human dignity, justice, solidarity, and care for our common home. In clear and practical terms, it calls Catholic institutions and individuals alike to integrate faith into their financial decisions, offering guiding principles, exclusion criteria, and pathways for responsible engagement in today's complex markets.Cardinal Turkson situates Mensuram Bonam within the Church's mission of dialogue with the modern world, extending the vision of Vatican II into the realm of economics and finance. Drawing on Scripture, tradition, and papal teaching?from Populorum Progressio to Caritas in Veritate and Laudato Si'?this document challenges investors to see their vocation as a form of discipleship. It highlights the role of investment not merely as a technical exercise but as a moral act that can advance integral human development, address social and ecological crises, and witness to the hope of the Gospel.The Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, founded by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1994, brings together scholars from across disciplines to deepen the Church's engagement with social, economic, legal, and political questions in light of faith.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book presents the results of research that focused on international students receiving writing instruction on a US university campus. It explores how the students developed their foreign-student identities and their own ways of grappling with the unique issues they encountered as they worked to improve their academic literacy skills. The book extends the theoretical horizons of language socialization research by integrating insights from other disciplinary frameworks, such as a translingual approach, multilingual literacies and writing center theory, to explore international students' university experiences. By adopting these varied lenses, the book provides readers with a more holistic, integrative and ecological understanding of students' language and literacy development. The authors also investigate how a translingual pedagogy informs language instructors and literacy instructors in facilitating multilingual students' academic literacy development across a variety of codes, registers, genres, modes and media.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) sits at the nexus of constant change, which makes it vitally important for language teachers to engage in continuous development and keep abreast of the sociopolitical milieu in which they are embedded. However, most teacher education activities are often associated with what is perceived as best practices that are expected to be adopted(often uncritically) for classroom application and practice, with the intention of training teachers to become technicians in their respective classrooms. In reality, TESOL practitioners often find themselvesin situations that require them to be reflexive practitioners and to negotiate sites of political struggles and social injustice.Given that a socially situated understanding of TESOL teacher education is often overlooked, this volume highlights the sociopolitical dimensions of TESOL teacher education. In Part 1, the authors introduce the theoretical underpinnings of the sociopolitical agenda proposed by this volume. Building on these theories, Part 2 realizes the proposed agenda by situating it within actual TESOL teacher education contexts that are characterized by power imbalances and neoliberally inflected educational injustices.…

Paperback or Softback. Zustand: New. A Sociopolitical Agenda for TESOL Teacher Education. Book.

Paperback. Zustand: New. 1st. Highlighting marginalized but significant perspectives about the sociopolitical essence of English language tests and testing processes worldwide, this book explores the social considerations of testing theories and practices from a critical perspective. Investigating concerns surrounding power inequalities, The Sociopolitics of English Language Testing takes a socially-situated view of language assessment, bringing sociopolitical understandings of language teaching, learning, and assessment to the forefront in the field.Within the broader discussion of the politics of test use, an international team of language and education experts address the issues of ideology, diversity, power, and dominance in English language testing. Through socially-sensitive theoretical as well as empirical discussion and investigation of English language testing, this book offers valuable insights, not only to applied linguists and the language education community who have focused on positivistic and cognitively-oriented conceptions of language testing, but to anyone who wishes to venture beyond the traditional bounds of the field.…
