Social network analysis, habitus and the field of literary activity
Social network analysis that draws upon the correspondence of writers has the potential to indicate aspects of the writers' habitus, that is, the economic, social and cultural capital represented by the relations between authors, poets and dramatists, and their correspondents. Social network analysis can visualise and reveal otherwise covert aspects of the field of literary activity. In particular, it can show the flow of cultural, symbolic, soci…
Language, culture and interculturality
Language, culture and interculturality: global debates, local challengesThis issue of LAIC brings together a selection of articles, revised and refereed, that, with one exception, grew out of presentations delivered at the 2021 conference of the International Association for Languages and Intercultural Communication (IALIC), on Language, culture and interculturality: global debates, local challenges.This conference was remarkable in a number of w…
Enhancing academic literacies through EMI training
In many Brazilian universities, internationalization policies have led to increased pressure on academic staff to offer courses using English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI). In 2019, in order to offer support to staff adopting EMI, the University of São Paulo partnered with Cambridge Assessment English to pilot a Certificate course in EMI Skills. This partnership offers advantages but raises questions about the adaptation of a standardized inte…
The design of a blended learning course to develop conference presentation skills for postgraduate students in medicine
The predominance of English as a scientific lingua franca and the pressure to raise the international ranking of Brazilian universities have increased the demand for support in developing a range of academic literacies in English, for example in areas such as presenting one’s research at international conferences. The challenges to delivering targeted support for the development of such literacies include limited space in the curriculum, negotiat…
Critical pedagogy and quality education (Unesco SDG-4)
September 2021 marks the centenary of the birth of one of the most influential figures in the history and philosophy of education, Paulo Freire (1921–1997). This special issue of LAIC offers a crit
Revisiting mediation
The term ‘mediation’ has become central to intercultural language education, a fact that is evident from the attention given to mediation activities and strategies in the revised descriptors of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (North et al. 2017). However, what is meant by ‘mediation’ is not always clear to language educators, especially given the use of the term in related disciplines and fields, including Translation Stu…

AnIntercultural Approach to English Language Teaching
Intercultural language education has redefined the modern languages agenda in Europe and North America. It is now also beginning to impact on English Language Teaching. This book introduces teachers of EFL to intercultural language education by describing its history and theoretical principles, and by giving examples of classroom tasks.
Aural Sex
In The Pleasure of the Text (1975), Roland Barthes defines representation and bliss as mutually incompatible terms. Bliss is the limit of selfhood and the threshold of the text; it runs parallel to and is incommensurable with pleasure. One cannot, according to Barthes's schema, represent bliss since bliss is the destruction of representation. With the experience of rapture or jouissance, the codes of orderly rhetorical representation are scramble…
Ephemera Underscored
Free, Single, and Disengaged
Rock and roll was scorned at first by the major record companies. They paid for their priggishness while basement labels like Chess and Sun made fortunes. Disco was discovered by alert independents like Casablanca. Once a bandwagon is underway the majors are happy to climb aboard--and elbow their way to the front-but they are rarely the driver's seat. So it's silly to say of the listening public, as Adorno does, that in this insistence on the fas…
The Pharisaic revolution and Jesus as embodied Torah
The saint as patron in the work of Gregory of Tours
Gregory of Tours and his world have long been out of fashion; but despite modern neglect of his works, Gregory gives us access to an understanding of many important aspects of late antiquity, among which is the role of the saint as patron. Saints appear as patrons throughout Gregory's works; the focus of this study is his account of the miraculous deeds of St. Martin. The role of the saint as patron is best understood against the background of th…
