The Catalan Immersion Program
Author: Josep M. Artigal
Publisher: Praeger
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
This book describes an immersion program (school education conducted in a language different from that used at home) from a psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic and methodological view. The research is based on the more than 70,000 children in the Catalan immersion program, and the characteristic features of this program have relevance to researchers and practitioners in other countries. The book begins by describing the conditions to be fulfilled by any immersion program in order to be of benefit to the children taking part in it. As assessment is made as to how experiments carried out in Catalonia meet these basic prerequisites. The book then examines the specific characteristics of the immersion program in Catalonia. Two features are singled out for particular attention: the low sociocultural background of the pupils and the early age, 3-4 years, of the children when the program begins. By analyzing these two variables, the author is able to revise certain theoretical and methodological aspects of second language learning-the prime role often attributed to comprehension over production and the hypothesis that a threshold level of mastery of LI (home language) is needed to gain access to the second language. The book describes a process whereby L2 is acquired in such a way as to permit meaningful and effective comprehension and production in the new language from the very outset stressing that L2 is learned as it is used instead of being learned first and used later.

Arbitration in Africa under OHADA Rules
Author: Mahutodji Jimmy Vital Kodo
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403509813
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Increased international investment in African countries over recent decades has called for a harmonized legal environment across borders creating, inter alia, a modern arbitration system. The 1993 Treaty establishing the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) took a giant step toward meeting this need and improved and consolidated its achievements with major arbitration-related revisions enacted in 2017 that came into force in 2018. This book, the first methodical analysis in English, describes in great detail the two distinct arbitration regimes—ad hoc and institutional—that characterize the system, equipping practitioners with everything they need to know to conduct arbitral proceedings efficiently in any of the OHADA’s seventeen Member States. OHADA’s dual arbitration system manifests best practices and the core principles of international arbitration. Its specific features, including the following, are thoroughly analyzed in the book: ad hoc and institutional arbitration under the Uniform Act on Arbitration (UAA) and institutional arbitration administered by the Common Court of Justice and Arbitration under its Regulations on Arbitration (CCJA Arbitration Rules); implementation of these instruments by the courts of the Member States and the CCJA; types of persons who can resort to arbitration under the two arbitration regimes, including natural and legal persons and State Parties to the Treaty; types of disputes likely to be resolved by arbitration under the two arbitration regimes, including contractual and investment-related disputes; acceptance and validity of the arbitration agreement; remedies and recourse against arbitral awards; and effects of arbitration agreements, including foreign recognition and enforcement. Throughout the book, the author cites cases and precedents of the CCJA as well as relevant decisions of lower courts. Also, the author has thoroughly revised and improved English translations of essential primary material which are included in the Appendices. Over the past twenty years, the OHADA arbitration framework has been tried and tested in proceedings before arbitral tribunals, Member States’ courts and the CCJA, as well as courts in Western countries in the context of enforcement proceedings. With this book, advisors and representatives of parties in the OHADA Member States will approach any relevant arbitration matter with full awareness of applicable rules of procedure. The book, a highly welcome bridge that connects the rest of the world with OHADA, will become an indispensable guide for arbitrators, counsels to parties, in-house counsels, government and State-owned entities, and academics in international arbitration.

Multilingual Law
Author: Colin D Robertson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317093496
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This book introduces and explores the concept of multilingual law. Providing an overview as to what is 'multilingual law', the study establishes a new discourse based on this concept, which has hitherto lacked recognition for reasons of complexity and multidisciplinarity. The need for such a discourse now exists and is becoming urgent in view of the progress being made towards European integration and the legal and factual foundation for it in multilingualism and multilingual legislation. Covering different types of multilingual legal orders and their distinguishing features, as well as the basic structure of legal systems, the author studies policy formation, drafting, translation, revision, terminology and computer tools in connection with the legislative and judicial processes. Bringing together a range of diverse legal and linguistic ideas under one roof, this book is of importance to legal-linguists, drafters and translators, as well as students and scholars of legal linguistics, legal translation and revision.
