Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores the unique experiences of Thai-speaking minority students within Malaysia's multilingual educational landscape. It focuses on how these students, often overlooked in educational discourse, navigate learning English as a third language amidst the linguistic dominance of Bahasa Malaysia in national schools.It examines the sociolinguistic and educational challenges Thai-speaking students face in Malaysia, particularly in the context of English Language Learning (ELL). By focusing on this minority group, it highlights the broader dynamics of multilingual education and the implications of learning English alongside another non-native language, Bahasa Malaysia. By documenting the lived experiences of a minority group that is often marginalized in policy discussions, it offers new insights into how minority students navigate the dual challenge of mastering English as a third language and achieving academic success in a second language (Bahasa Malaysia).This book adds to the body of research on linguistic minorities and educational equity, and challenges the existing paradigms of language learning in multicultural societies like Malaysia. It employs a qualitative research approach, with ethnographic observations and semi-structured interviews conducted among Thai-speaking pupils. These methods allow for an in-depth understanding of the students' cognitive and emotional responses to learning in a linguistically complex environment. It also introduces an innovative framework for assessing how sociocultural and linguistic factors intersect to affect learning outcomes.Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of how multilingual and minority students experience education in Malaysia. This book serves as a helpful resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in multilingual education, as it offers practical strategies to support minority students in overcoming linguistic barriers. Furthermore, it also offers a broader reflection on the importance of language diversity in achieving equitable educational outcomes. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access volume focuses on the various processes of state formation and the significant role that organization, citizens, and institutions are coming to play in forming policy in the resource-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. As rentier states, they feature unique systems of governance and policy making. The Gulf region is employing unprecedented influence on international affairs and is a key player in the restructuring of the Middle East and North Africa post 9/11 and following the Arab Spring. The region has an increasingly vital role in the global contemporary system of international power, politics, and policymaking. And yet despite the recent rise of the Gulf Arab states to global power, notably Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, their policymaking remains under researched. This book pulls focus to their various processes of state policy formation. It considers these states' social, political, and economic development, providing a comparative analysis of policy practices and results, citizens engagement, public-private partnership, human development and human capital, and provides analyses on foreign policy, sovereignty, security, and links to domestic politics. It shows the specific nature of governance relationships in the GCC and this how this is, in turn, affected by the specific nature of social capital and public opinion, as well as leadership and the culture of the business community in the GCC. These, the book suggests, pose challenges to public policy making and delivery in this region. Bringing together experts in public policy analysis, policy implementation and evaluation, governance, international affairs, public administration, public management, and other related social sciences from within and beyond the Middle East, this book is a vital text confronting the gap in the real mechanics of policymaking in the region. This is an open access book. 356 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book offers the first full study of the phenomenon of self-wounding as it is represented in early modern literature. It looks at depictions of self-injury in ballads, plays, medical texts and histories from the 1580s to the turn of the eighteenth century. In this period, it argues, self-injury was not necessarily viewed as indicative of psychological distress, as it is in modern discourses of self-harm . Rather, self-wounding might work as a form of protest, a persuasive tactic, a means of self-regulation or an assertion of agency over one s own body. This book blends traditional literary studies methodologies with insights from sociology, emotion studies, cognitive psychology and practice-led research to shed new light on early modern ideas about rhetoric, authenticity, emotion, and the relationship between body and identity. The book also confronts the difficulties of examining such topical phenomena. Can the anachronism of comparisons between modern and historical self-injury be made productive, rather than reductive What does it mean to talk about self-injury in a period which did not have a distinct word for these practices In so doing, it suggests new directions for literary-historical studies of the body and its practices, arguing that in such cases, we should seek not to familiarise the past but to defamiliarize the present. 260 pp. Englisch.…
