This book brings together recent international scholarship on the links between education and health, and recent research evidence evaluating the processes and outcomes of health promoting schools initiatives. The book arises out of the Education and Health in Partnership conference, which took place in Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands in September 2002. The key aims of the conference were to focus on effective partnership working for health in schools and to consider the evidence base for health promoting schools programmes. A significant outcome of the conference was the Egmond Agenda, which outlines the principal components for success in establishing health promoting schools.Contributors from across Europe, the United States, South Africa and Australia present findings from national health promoting school projects, with a particular emphasis on the promotion of mental health.The volume will be of interest to all education and health professionals interested in the contributions of schools in promoting health, empowerment, action competence and wellbeing of young people.

The book focuses on the pains and gains of international mobility in teacher education – its challenges and benefits. The aim is on the one hand to identify some of the challenges which help to explain the low percentage of internationally orientated teacher education students and suggest how to overcome them. On the other hand, major benefits of international mobility in teacher education are presented in the form of competences that can be acquired through studying and teaching abroad. The five chapters of this book refer to reports on practical experiences with international mobility in teacher education at different institutions. The authors outline problems, challenges and advantages, as well as present empirical studies on the international mobility of teachers. The target audience are persons organizing mobility programmes or educators working with international students and researchers in this field. This book aims to contribute to the promotion of international student teacher mobility and to give suggestions on how to implement and optimize such programmes.

Die Katholische Aufklärung kann als weltumspannende Reformbewegung gedeutet werden. Im transatlantischen Raum war sie besonders wirksam. Die Katholische Aufklärung wirkte global, verfügte jedoch mit Europa und Nordamerika über ein besonders eng miteinander verflochtenes Betätigungsfeld. Es waren nicht zuletzt die britischen Kolonien Maryland und Pennsylvania, in denen aufgeklärte Katholiken, die sich aus Europa in die Neue Welt aufgemacht hatten, mit großem Erfolg agierten. Als 1776 die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika gegründet wurden, konnten sie dort noch im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert unter Beweis stellen, dass der von ihnen gelebte Katholizismus mit einem von den Grundsätzen der politischen Aufklärung geprägten republikanisch-demokratischen Staatswesen vollständig in Einklang zu bringen war. Dies blieb auch für das katholische Selbstverständnis in Europa nicht ohne Wirkung - sichtbar auf den Gebieten der Erziehung und Bildung, der Religion und Theologie, der Politik und Staatstheorie, der Literatur und Öffentlichkeit, der Malerei und Architektur sowie der Musik und des Theaters.

This book offers new insights into the language gains of adult learners enrolled in an English-medium instruction (EMI) degree programme. It provides longitudinal empirical evidence of the phonological gains of the learners; discusses which individual factors contribute to the changes in the learners’ pronunciation and investigates whether and to what extent increased exposure to the target language in EMI classrooms leads to incidental learning of second language pronunciation. Furthermore, it expands on the discussions surrounding the Critical Period Hypothesis, the native-speaker norm, foreign language accent and the role of English as a Lingua Franca. The comparative and longitudinal design of the research study fills a significant gap in the literature and the book offers considerable original and important research-informed insights into the fields of EMI, bilingual education and second language acquisition. As such, it is a valuable resource and must-read book for researchers, practitioners and policymakers in these areas.
