LâEvolution du mĂ©tier dâenseignant de langue de spĂ©cialitĂ© â une perspective internationale
A travers lâEurope, les professeurs de langues vivantes doivent affronter les mĂȘmes dĂ©fis : parmi ceux-ci, nous passerons en revue
(1) le contexte britannique : lâapprentissage des langues vivantes dans les universitĂ©s (Ă©tudiants spĂ©cialistes et non-spĂ©cialistes, cours pour adultes) et dans le secondaire, les Ă©changes et le sĂ©jour Ă lâĂ©tranger ;
(2) le contexte international : le processus de Bologne (interculturalitĂ© et employabilitĂ©), la markĂ©tisation de lâenseignement supĂ©rieur, les droits dâinscription, lâanglicisation des programmes ;
(3) le contexte technologique : les TIC dans la sociĂ©tĂ© et dans lâapprentissage des langues

Fremdsprachen aus der Ferne: die britische Open University
Dies ist die vierte, völlig neu bearbeitete Auflage der Praktischen Handreichung fĂŒr Fremdsprachenlehrer. Die Zahl der BeitrĂ€ge wurde von 77 auf 90 erhöht. Ausgewiesene Fachleute aus Belgien, Deutschland, GroĂbritannien, Irland, Ăsterreich, Schweden und den USA breiten in vier Kapiteln die Methoden und das Handwerkszeug aus, ohne die ein guter Fremdsprachenlehrer nicht auskommt. Alle wieder aufgenommenen Arbeiten wurden durchgesehen und auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Viele der zusĂ€tzlich eingeworbenen BeitrĂ€ge stammen aus dem Bereich der Neuen Medien. Der bewĂ€hrte Aufbau wurde beibehalten. Der Leser kann so seine Praxis auf ein sicheres Fundament stellen und durch Verfolgung der im Sachindex aufgezeigten Verbindungslinien weiter absichern. Die umfangreichen Literaturverzeichnisse helfen ihm, bestimmte Felder noch weiter aufzuschlieĂen
Electron Cotunneling into a Kondo Lattice
Motivated by recent experimental interest in tunneling into heavy electron
materials, we present a theory for electron tunneling into a Kondo lattice. The
passage of an electron into the Kondo lattice is accompanied by a simultaneous
spin flip of the localized moments via cotunneling mechanism. We compute the
tunneling current with the large- mean field theory. In the absence of
disorder, differential tunneling conductance exhibits two peaks separated by
the hybridization gap. Disorder effects lead to the smearing of the gap
resulting in a Fano lineshape.Comment: 4 pages, 2 eps figure
Sticking with Spanish: Reasons for Study and Motivation Maintenance in Adult Beginner Distance Language Learners
This paper examines the reasons for study of adult beginner distance learners of Spanish and the relationships between those reasons and motivation maintenance. A survey of 563 Open University UK students found motivational orientations distinct from those of young people in earlier studies. Adult learners who maintained their motivation also demonstrated a greater number of reasons for study. Their motivation embraced intrinsic and extrinsic, integrative and instrumental orientations, short-term and long-term ambitions, and an L2 self both ideal and realistically attainable. During their course module they focused more consistently than others on the language skills they had targeted, and expressed increased enjoyment of the learning experience. This study suggests that achieving âsofterâ short-term goals encourages persistence towards longer-term goals which reflect the ideal L2 self

Implications of external validity for research on polycentric and complex adaptive systems
Much recent research has examined the implications of policy analysis for complex adaptive social-ecological systems. System complexity comes from both the natural environment as well as complex institutional arrangements that humans use to manage and regulate such systems. Such research has systematically investigated how the interaction of a host of variables relate to some evaluation criteria. Many scholars argue that a deep understanding of the social-ecological systems, however, comes at the expense of externally valid inferences to other systems. In this paper I argue that having a nuanced understanding of the social-ecological system actually helps one to understand which types of policy domains an analysis might be generalized. --Complex Adaptive Systems,External Validity,Polycentric Systems
