Subject: Fostering Social Justice Through Intercultural and Multilingual Communication: Pedagogy, Andragogy, and Assessment
E-mail this message to a friend I am excited to share my call for chapters for an edited volume with the title ‘Fostering Social Justice Through Intercultural and Multilingual Communication: Pedagogy, Andragogy, and Assessment’ which will be published by IGI Global. This book intends to explore innovative teaching, learning, and assessment practices that promote Education for Social Justice and enhance intercultural and multilingual communication.
The goals of Social Justice in Education include more empathy, more justice, and more equality. Students taught with this framework will ideally have a stronger sense of what's just and fair and choose careers and lifestyles that support their communities. Over time, students learn to look at current and historical events – even their own actions – through the lens of social justice. They spot discrimination and inequality. All this leads to better decision-making as adults.
The current chapter also emphasizes the importance of intercultural and multilingual communication. Intercultural communication offers the ability to deal across cultures, which is increasingly important, as the world gets smaller. Building trust impacts the bottom line for global companies, and multilingual communication is a core pillar for effective growth. Multilingual communication also avoids miscommunication, offense, and other adverse reactions and builds a strong foundation for global success.
The purpose of the edited volume is to respond to the needs of learners of any context and background, practitioners, educators, policymakers, administrators, program planners, educational leaders, and researchers through relevant studies that include sound pedagogical and content knowledge. The newly commissioned chapters of this book will link the theoretical understanding and practical experience of using teaching and assessment practices that foster Education for Social Justice, multilingual and intercultural communication and will be a valuable contribution to the field of Education and Applied Linguistics.
EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINE
I am delighted that many distinguished scholars have contributed a chapter to my new edited volume with the title ‘Fostering Social Justice Through Intercultural and Multilingual Communication: Pedagogy, Andragogy, and Assessment’. However, I would like to provide young and experienced researchers with more opportunities to publish their work. Therefore, I am extending my call for chapters until February 7, 2022. Please submit a chapter proposal of 1,000-2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of their proposed chapter.
