How much can we really know about learner autonomy?

In this chapter the author examines the concept of learner autonomy in Second Language Acquisition which is now more than 40 years old. Its seemingly simple definition remains difficult to pin down empirically which can be a challenge for some practitioners. This problem of empirical truth is intrinsically linked with our understandings of the underlying epistemology, and our own philosophical theories about what we know. This chapter attempts to address the current philosophical basis for learner autonomy, how much we as language teachers can actually know about learner autonomy, and some of the theoretical limits to how we can investigate it further. Exploring the relatively new philosophies of Critical Realism and Social Realism from the wider educational literature, the author discusses how new insights could be gained. Edsall concludes by contemplating the possibility of not being able to definitively define the concept of learner autonomy and why we might have to settle on an incomplete but richer picture of the concept and its practice.

Veracity

This chapter turns to popular texts, focusing on a set of lay sociologies and “prostitute autobiographies” in the rapidly expanding world of print in the period from the 1870s until the 1940s. In this archive of popular texts, the chapter reveals that ideas of deviant female sexuality exceeded the closed worlds of formal philology, the government-mandated survey, the pathological diagnosis of forensic science, and the theoretical models of ethnology. In exposés and autobiographies, writers claimed that the prostitute was essential for comprehending the dangers of society. The chapter shows how the idea of the sexually deviant woman appeared as the secret of social life in scenes of impurity and pollution. These lay sociologies and life stories demonstrate the pervasive presence of a social imaginary that utilized the concept of the prostitute to create a regime of empirical truth.

“I Heard Homer Sing”: Tsjêbbe Hettinga and the Paradoxes of European Multilingualism

Europe has always been multilingual, but since the Romantic era, this empirical truth has been denied, erased, or ignored. Contemporary globalization reconfigures the standard language ideology that has long been central to the continent’s self-understanding and political organization. This article explores some of the paradoxes of European multilingualism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries by way of the work and authorship of the Frisian poet Tsjêbbe Hettinga. Specifically, my focus is on the tension between the international geographies of his poetry and the uneven distribution of recognition in Fryslân, the Netherlands, and the wider world. Hettinga’s career shows the difficulties authors writing in regional or minority languages face to become more widely known, yet it also makes clear the profound consequences of the kind of breakthrough Hettinga experienced during the 1993 Frankfurt Book Fair. Hettinga’s career is reflective of the changing relations between language, people, and in contemporary Europe. This article is part of the Global Perspectives Media and Communication special issue on “Media, Migration, and Nationalism,” guest-edited by Koen Leurs and Tomohisa Hirata.

The Integration of Science-Technology and Living Environment through Islam Religion Education Learning at Adiwiyata-Based Junior High School in Banyumas Regency

Sciences play an important role for human in living their life and technology constitutes the embodiment of human’s systemic effort in applying the sciences so that it can make things easier and provide wealth for human when it is followed by religion. However, it will bring disaster instead when it is not inspired by religion. One of the destructive impacts of science advancement is environmental crisis. This environmental crisis occurs because of spiritual emptiness, human are far from God. They succumb to greed and keep themselves away from God’s moral guideline and lack ethics in interacting with God’s other creatures. In the academic world, Islam Religion learning constitutes a medium to filter or minimize some human destructive measures to the nature, making the integration of sciences, technology and environment in learning a key to the creation of sciences, technology and environment harmonization. Using qualitative research with a case study approach, it is expected that the ideal picture of science-technology and living environment sinergy can be obtained. The data are collected using observation, interview and documentation and analyzed using reduction, display and conclusion techniques as well as data verification. The research results indicate that the integration of science-technology and living environment constitutes the highest truth, i.e. the empirical truth which symbolizes the might of Allah, the Almighty Creator, and an effort of synergizing the qauliyah (textual) and kauniyah (universal) verses and of indirectly eliminating the scientific dichotomy. This synergy pattern will never be manifested without Islam Religion Education learning in academic context at schools, particularly Adiwiyata schools which implement the integration pattern of science-technology and environment integrally.

Positive-Sum Global Justice

After describing the stunning wealth that some people in our world enjoy, the chapter contrasts two ways of thinking about the sources of such wealth and poverty. While many people believe this is the result of a maldistribution of resources, the empirical truth is that wealth results from people’s productive forces being harnessed for the common good. The chapter then contrasts two different approaches to thinking about global justice, which largely line up with these two narratives about global poverty and wealth. According to the zero-sum approach, solving global poverty must, in some way, require redistributing resources from rich to poor. According to the positive-sum approach, which the authors favor, the just solution to global poverty emulates what creates wealth: enabling people around the world to become productive, contributing to both their own welfare and that of others.

Helena’s Witness

Scholars have criticized Evelyn Waugh’s novel Helena as flawed and uneven—an unfortunate subjection of his artistic gifts to the perceived demands of his faith. It is often read as a fictional work of apologetics, straightforwardly defending the empirical truth of Christianity. In fact, however, Waugh deliberately allows questions to arise regarding his key claims, and especially his heroine’s “invention” of the True Cross. Though the novel does contain apologetic elements, it is really a story about faith, about bearing witness: a saint’s story. And the faith it depicts not only allows for but actively embraces both skepticism and doubt.
