S'adressant à ceux qui souhaitent s'initier et s'entraîner, de manière raisonnée, à la pratique de la traduction, cet ouvrage offre une méthode d'analyse originale et efficace. La pratique observée est sans cesse présente sous forme d'exemples abondants et variés, les principes dégagés sont illustrés par des exercices. La démarche utilise les différents apports des sciences du langage en les subordonnant à la spécificité de l'acte de traduire. Les termes techniques sont chaque fois clairement définis. L'ordre suivi va du signe à l'énoncé, sans jamais perdre de vue les éléments constituants d'un ensemble qui est le texte. L'ouvrage représente un ensemble cohérent disposé avec ordre mais dont les éléments modulaires sont utilisables séparément, un système de renvois multiples permettant de mettre en perspective les chapitres.

By modeling pedagogical scenarios as directed geometrical graphs and proposing an associated modeling language, this book describes how rich learning activities, often designed for small classes, can be scaled up for use with thousands of participants. With the vertices of these graphs representing learning activities and the edges capturing the pedagogical relationship between activities, individual, team, and class-wide activities are integrated into a consistent whole. The workflow mechanisms modeled in the graphs enable the construction of scenarios that are richer than those currently implemented in MOOCs. The cognitive states of learners in two consecutive activities feed a transition matrix, which encapsulates the probability of succeeding in the second activity, based on success in the former. This transition matrix is summarized by a numerical value, which is used as the weight of the edge. This pedagogical framework is connected to stochastic models, with the goal of making learning analytics more appealing for data scientists. However, the proposed modeling language is not only useful in learning technologies, it also allows researchers in learning sciences to formally describe the structure of any lesson, from an elementary school lesson with 20 students to an online course with 20,000 participants.

This book is interdisciplinary, drawing on the sociology and politics of language, African linguistics, African history and social history in general. It focuses on the various issues related to multilingualism in West Africa, but is also relevant to multilingual situations in Third World countries generally. Although the book is aimed at the educated general reader, it should also be of interest to language specialists and students of Third World politics.
