Barriers to early childhood education for Black families and calls for equitable solutions from a qualitative study using peer researchers and an antiracist lens
Idealized notions of the ECE experiences Black parents wanted diverged from their experiences. • Black parents face racialized administrative burdens to access quality childcare. • Free, universal childcare is an equitable policy solution desired by Black families. • Black families want their children to be safe, loved, and nurtured in childcare. • Parents and educators desire one connected system for enrollment. Racial disparities in early care …
Trading Places, Creating Spaces
In referencing the title of Chris Candlin's (2008) plenary, this paper focuses on the continuing concern to align research and practice in applied linguistics, and more particularly in language for specific purposes (LSP) and professional communication. We examine how Candlin identified practices for trading places between research and practice and for creating synergies between them – and in so doing opened up new spaces for enquiry and understa…
Agency and Emotion in Narrative Accounts of Emergent Conflict in an L2 Classroom
Although recent years have witnessed increasing engagement with agency and emotion in applied linguistics together with claims that they are related constructs, precisely how they are related has not been the subject of research attention. Drawing on stance as an analytical tool, this article examines the interrelationships between emotion and agency from a dialogical perspective in multiple accounts of an incident of emergent conflict in an L2 c…

Banal nationalism and belonging within the echoed imagined community
Contexts for the performance of banal nationalism and belonging have changed markedly with the emergence of the Internet as a significant constituent and mediator of everyday activities. National anthems, depicted as echoed realizations of the imagined community, now exist in cyberspace, offering new public spaces for observing, participating in and responding to anthem spectacles. Drawing on the notion of ‘networked narratives’ (Page, Harper and…
The distance learning of foreign languages
Research into the distance learning of languages is now established as a significant avenue of enquiry in language teaching, with evident research trajectories in several domains. This article selects and analyses significant areas of investigation in distance language learning and teaching to identify new and emerging gaps, along with research questions, methodologies and research tools. Taken together these define a research agenda focusing on …
Language teacher development in a narrative frame
Foreign‐Language Distance Learning Programs
In foreign‐language programs, learning and teaching have traditionally taken place in close proximity, and at particular points in time.
Distance Language Learning
Distance education offers individuals flexible access to language learning opportunities made possible by a range of technologies including print, audio, video, Web, and interactive conferencing. The evolution of large‐scale distance language education from print‐based correspondence courses came first with educational radio and broadcast television, then audio and videocassettes, and most recently computers with computer‐mediated communication (…
Homilies on Joshua
This is a translation of the complete homilies of Origen of Alexandria on the the book of Joshua. With the saga of the Israelites entering and possessing their promised land, Origen unfolds the story of the Christian life from baptism to resurrection. He exhorts his hearers to persevere in their own struggles to overcome the enemies of their souls and obtain their own inheritence. As he exhorted, others wrote down his words, words he had asked th…
Affect in a self-regulatory framework for language learning
Focus on the language learner in an era of globalization
Globalization as the intensification of worldwide social relations (Giddens 1990) continues to exert an influence on language, language use, and learning and teaching around the world. In this paper I examine the nature and influence of globalization on online language teaching through the lens of learner-centred principles, and the tensions between different positions and practices adopted by participants within virtual learning environments. I …
Distance learning of foreign languages
This article provides a critical overview of the field of distance language learning, challenging the way in which the field is often narrowly conceptualised as the development of technology-mediated language learning opportunities. Early sections focus on issues of concept and definition and both theoretical and pedagogical perspectives on the field. Emphasis is placed on evident shifts from a concern with structural and organisational issues to…
Expectations and emergent beliefs of self-instructed language learners
The Effect of Poverty on Risk Reduction Strategies of Fulani Nomads in Niger
Recent research in ecology has made risk and uncertainty central to current thinking about pastoral development. This new focus confirms the wisdom of strategies used by African pastoralists for centuries irrespective of efforts by experts and governments to rationalise herd and range management based on conditions found in other parts of the world. Dynamic ecosystems are characteristic of the arid and semi-arid areas inhabited by most African pa…

Food Shortages and Seasonality in WoDaaBe Communities in Niger
Data on WoDaaBe nomadic pastoralists in central Niger demonstrate that seasonality, through a coincidence of stress factors in the dry and transition seasons, clearly does reinforce poverty in this group. Although important, dry season hardship is merely a symptom of more crucial political and economic factors affecting the WoDaaBe economy.

Changing Perspectives in the Study of Children
To observe trends and compare research interests in child psychology and concerns of lay people whose work involves children, topical analyses were made of two scientific journals ( Child Development, and the Journal of Educational Psychology) and two popular publications ( Children Today, and the Instructor). All articles between January, 1955 and December, 1975 were assigned to one of 20 categories which emerged as the major classifications for…
