Developing Critical Languaculture Pedagogies in Higher Education
Author: Adriana Raquel Díaz
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 1783090367
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Despite widespread agreement about the need to develop interculturally competent graduates, there is a lack of agreement about how this goal may be achieved in practice. This is significant as universities around the world, particularly in English-speaking countries, have espoused an interculturally-aware vision for their future graduates and turned to language education, as an inherently intercultural activity, to expose students to a world which is linguistically and culturally different from their own. This book focuses on narrowing the gap between the often conflicting theoretical and practical imperatives faced by language teachers in an internationalised higher education context. It does so by providing comprehensive conceptual discussions of emerging critical intercultural language pedagogies as well as empirical accounts and case studies from the frontline.

Meditations for Mediocre Mystics
Author: Tom Stella
Publisher: Wood Lake Publishing Inc.
ISBN: 1773435221
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
The term “mediocre mystics” seems a fitting way to refer to those who yearn for the nameless but do not qualify as full blown mystics. I realize that because there is nothing middling about mystics, “mediocre mystics” may appear to be an oxymoron, but the root meaning of “mediocre” is not second-rate. From the Latin mediocris, the word means moderate or ordinary and has been used figuratively to refer to one who is halfway up a mountain. Unlike ordinary folks, sainted mystics have reached the mountaintop; they are on a first-name basis with the nameless! But just because we haven’t arrived at the heights, just because our lives unfold in the valley of ordinary, everyday life doesn’t mean that we cannot or do not experience the desire that has fueled the mystic’s climb. “All my life my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.” –Andre´ Breton All my life I have experienced the yearning to which French writer and poet André Breton refers. For me that yearning is composed in part of a subtle discontent, a quiet feeling that something is missing despite the fact that nothing is missing. Significant relationships, meaningful work, as well as material and monetary security have never been enough to satisfy the desire for that which I cannot name. I know I’m not alone in my discontent or my longing for the nameless, for mystics of every spiritual and religious tradition have spoken of their desire for and experience of union with a spiritual entity that is as real as it is surreal. I am not claiming that just because I share their yearning I consider myself a mystic, but neither do I believe that the term “mystic” is entirely inappropriate for those of us who might glimpse briefly what certified or canonized mystics have been blinded by.

Embracing Imperfect Progress
Author: Azhar ul Haque Sario
Publisher: tredition
ISBN: 3384410440
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Ever felt like you're constantly chasing an impossible standard of perfection? Like every stumble, every misstep, is a mark against you? "Embracing Imperfect Progress: Learning from Setbacks" challenges that narrative. It dives deep into the fascinating truth: failure isn't a dead end, it's a detour on the road to success. This book isn't about celebrating failure for its own sake. Instead, it's about understanding its inevitability, dissecting its anatomy, and harnessing its power. We'll journey through history, science, and culture, revealing how even the most catastrophic failures have paved the way for incredible innovation. Remember penicillin? A lab accident. Post-it Notes? A glue that didn't stick. We'll explore how embracing risk, learning from mistakes, and adapting to change aren't just buzzwords – they're essential tools for progress. From the hubris of empires to the resilience of communities after disasters, we'll uncover stories that illuminate the human spirit's ability to rise from the ashes. We'll question societal norms that stigmatize failure and champion those who've turned setbacks into springboards. And we'll gaze into the future, pondering how emerging technologies will shape our relationship with failure. It's a deep dive into the complex, often uncomfortable, yet ultimately empowering truth that progress isn't a straight line – it's a messy, imperfect, and beautiful journey.

In Sync with the Sacred, Out of Step with the World
Author: Tom Stella
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
What does it mean to live "in sync with the sacred?" For Tom Stella it means living an authentic life. It means stepping to the cadence of the sacred, which requires a specific type of courage: the courage to be different, to stand out, to be odd and perhaps even considered a threat by those who find their identity, comfort, and security in the status quo, the conventional. The good news is that we can do this while conducting our everyday lives. Unlike Thoreau, who felt he had to retreat to Walden Pond "to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach," we don't have to retreat to the woods. According to Stella, authenticity is first and foremost a matter of being attuned and responsive to the sacred within--to an instinct, an intuition, a sixth sense, a deep voiceless voice that can be "heard" even in a crowd. This inner guide may at times call us to live apart from others, but it surely summons us to follow a road less traveled; that is to turn away from the conventional wisdom of society, those ways of thinking, believing, and behaving that go unquestioned--busy is good, more is better, success equals wealth. Welcome to a refreshing version of spirituality.
