Language Policies and Educational Practices

Saraswati Saini

Synopsis

"Language Policies and Educational Practices" explores the critical role of language policies in education systems. Language is a fundamental tool for communication, shaping our thoughts and interactions. This book examines how language policies determine the medium of instruction at various educational levels, focusing on the practicalities and challenges of these policies.
We highlight the importance of local languages in contributing to a country's social, political, and economic development, emphasizing their vital role in education. Using case studies, we analyze how local language policies are implemented by teachers, the challenges they face, and practical solutions to these challenges. The book also discusses the need for refresher courses for teachers and training for translators.
From the 1960s, the federal government encouraged and sometimes mandated the use of non-English languages in education. This book covers significant legislative milestones, such as the Bilingual Education Act of 1968, the Native American Languages Act of 1990, and other federal programs promoting language diversity and literacy.

Logical Diversions and...

William Rands

This book consists of the following two titles:
- The Red Herring Fallacy: The Red Herring Fallacy is a common and effective tool for diverting attention from the main issue in an argument. It occurs when irrelevant information or topics are introduced into a discussion, leading the audience away from the core subject. The name "red herring" originates from an old English practice of using smoked fish to distract hunting dogs from a scent trail. In the context of logical reasoning, the concept is metaphorical, describing tactics that mislead or confuse. At its heart, the Red Herring Fallacy exploits our natural tendencies to become sidetracked by emotionally charged, intriguing, or seemingly relevant details. The distraction can take many forms: an unrelated anecdote, a tangential issue, or even an outright falsehood designed to provoke. These diversions can be deliberate, crafted to manipulate the audience, or unintentional, stemming from poor argumentation or misunderstanding. Regardless of intent, the result is the same—a shift in focus away from the actual matter at hand.
- The Straw Man Fallacy: The Straw Man Fallacy is one of the most pervasive forms of logical misrepresentation, often employed to simplify complex arguments for easier refutation. At its core, this fallacy involves constructing a distorted or exaggerated version of an opponent's position, subsequently attacking this weakened argument instead of addressing the original point. The technique, though logically flawed, can be compelling, as it plays on cognitive biases and simplifies discourse in ways that resonate with audiences.

Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Technical Spanish by Audioacademyeu. The course is designed for beginners to slightly advanced learners and focuses on vocabulary you can use in the technical field.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned.

They contain words and example sentences that will help you communicate better when solving technical problems. At the same time, you can use this course to refresh your Spanish from a beginner to pre-intermediate level.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First, familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions in Spanish, in track one you hear the Spanish word twice.Next, you have a word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4). Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Spanish twice Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Spanish (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts. In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to. In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English ,Pedro García-Guiaro and Begoña García Ferrerira in Spanish.
