This volume explores the challenges of teaching and learning Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects in local languages and local contexts in a range of countries around the world. Many countries around the world, including African countries, have been largely excluded from the transformation that is going on in STEM pedagogy in the USA, where the emphasis is on the importance of language choice and the development of English Language Learner (ELL). STEM subjects in many parts of the world have been taught in a global language, mainly English, rather than using a local language and local curriculum. This creates pedagogical challenges to the teaching of STEM. The contributions to this book review evidence and arguments for the teaching of STEM subjects in local languages and several chapters make this case that this should be considered a human right, both in national educational programs and in development aid. Working across disciplines and domains has the potential to lead to new understanding and the removal of barriers to progress with the ultimate goal of creating solutions to persistent problems in education. Cross-disciplinary work in science, language and literacy has shown much promise and demonstrated the importance of developing language along with disciplinary knowledge. This volume provides a deep dive into this topic, with articles by several scholars in the field of language in STEM.” – Jaqueline Barber, Director of the Learning Design Group at the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California-Berkeley, USA “In an increasingly technological world, STEM Education has become a priority on national agendas and in educational institutions. Meaningful access to STEM education can enable or hinder young people from gaining entry into the world of work. It is against this backdrop that the edited collection, Human Rights and Language in STEM Education, needs to be welcomed. The various chapters tackle the big questions of access and many others. This edited collection is required reading for all those working in STEM and for policy makers who tend to see language and STEM as binaries, rather than as interdependent.” – Zubeida Desai, Professor and Dean of Education, University of the Western Cape, South Africa This volume by researchers from 10 countries provides a thought-and-action provoking multidimensional analysis of issues on the dignity of the use of STEM subjects in local education in the perspective of human rights. This book is especially recommended to researchers and education policy makers in such areas as STEM Educational Theory and Praxis, Human Rights, Future/sustainable Development, Science and Technology Literacy. May it inspire similar volumes in today’s politically ebullient world.” – Francisco Gomes de Matos, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, human linguistic rights scholar, Federal University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil.

This book argues that integrating artistic contributions – with an emphasis on culture and language – can make Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects more accessible, and therefore promote creativity and innovation in teaching and learning at all levels of education. It provides tools and strategies for managing interdisciplinary learning and teaching based on successful collaborations between researchers, practitioners and artists in the fields of the Arts and STEM subjects. Based on contributions by educators, scientists, scholars, linguists and artists from around the globe, the book highlights how we can demonstrate teamwork and collaboration for innovation and creativity in STEAM subjects in the classroom and beyond. The book reflects the core of human rights education, using local languages and local knowledge through art as a tool for teaching human rights at school, and bringing to light questions on diversity, ecology, climate change, environmental issues, health and the future of human beings, as well as power relations between non-dominant (minorities) and dominant (the majority) groups in society.

Promoting Language and STEAM Human Rights in Education successfully illustrates how introducing the arts, language, multicultural, and social justice issues into the curriculum promises to provide a more humanistic, globally effective education for all.” —Robert F. Arnove, Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus of Educational Leadership Policy Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA “We live in a time where education is under pressure, first of all because it is reduced to being a tool for political and economic change, where the best of the student is predetermined by learning outcomes, and not guided by the open, searching and wondering way to knowledge and deeper insights. This book fills a huge gap with its though-provoking, relevant and hands-on reflection on the creativity, imagination and inquiry needed to awaken social justice in cross-cultural and multidisciplinary education. Using artistic processes, story-telling, fiction and art in STEAM, opens up the fundamental questions of morality and existence: What should be the purpose of education? And how to live together?” —Inga Bostad, Professor of Philosophy, Department of Education, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway “This collection of essays challenges the status quo positions in education policy that (i) STEM can operate in a vacuum outside of culture, language, and artistic modes of expression, and (ii) STEM is superior to the arts and humanities with respect to understanding reality. While “STEM” connotes a rootedness and a base for growth, the addition of ‘A’ to “STEM” to make “STEAM” connotes power and direction. Both are important rootedness and growth as well as power and direction. With this volume as a guide, informed progress in debates about educational policy can be made.” —Anand Jayprakash Vaidya, Professor of Philosophy & Director of the Center for Comparative Philosophy, San Jose State University, San Jose, California, USA .

This book takes a novel approach by integrating the teaching of English Language through awareness of human rights. It is the outcome of a seminar on Human Rights through Language Teaching and won the English Language Teaching Contacts Scheme (ELTCS) award given by the British Council, London. The book covers the major principles of human rights education i.e. learner centeredness, learner autonomy, reflection and introspection. It is replete with activities that promote collaborative learning exercises and encourages students to contextualize ideas in their respective environments. Each unit has a voices section, which gives information about young peoples critical life experiences and champions how upholding and inculcating knowledge of human rights can serve to highlight their problems. The voices section represents not only the different parts of the world but the different segments of society as well. It creates an awareness of the rights and responsibilities of individuals living in civilized societies and the value of protecting human rights. The authors have aimed at keeping learner motivation high while designing the activities and the focus is on language development through reading, writing, and speaking skills.

This book offers research-based models of exemplary practice for educators at all grade levels, from primary school to university, who want to integrate human rights education into their classrooms. It includes ten examples of projects that have been effectively implemented in classrooms: two from elementary school, two from middle school, three from high school, two from community college, and one from a university. Each model discusses the scope of the project, its rationale, students' response to the content and pedagogy, challenges or controversies that arose, and their resolution. Unique in integrating theory and practice and in addressing human rights issues with special relevance for communities of color in the US, this book provides indispensable guidance for those studying and teaching human rights.

"This study broadens our knowledge of the important role of language in minority rights and in social and political struggles for LHRs. Exploring the interactions of linguistic diversity, biodiversity, the free market and human rights, the contributors present case studies to highlight such issues as Kurdish satellite TV attempting to create a virtual state on the air through trying to achieve basic LHRs for Kurds in Turkey; the implementation of LHRs in the Baltic states; language rights activism in Canada; the spread of English as an international language; and the obstacles met in education by Roma and the Deaf in Hungary because of lack of appropriate LHRs." "Language: A Right and a Resource is a multi-disciplinary text which can be used in a variety of different areas of study in the legal profession, linguistics, cultural and political studies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book discusses the relationship between human rights and education. Education as a human right and education for human rights are currently the topics of considerable debate worldwide. In addition to their traditional role of transmitting knowledge and values, education systems are being pressed to respond to a new range of aspirations and to a wide variety of economic, political, social and cultural developments whose roots lie outside the education system. Human rights education is much wider than just teaching about human rights; it should lead to an understanding of, and sympathy for, the concepts of democracy, justice, equality, freedom, solidarity, peace, dignity, rights and responsibilities. Young people are guaranteed their right to education, and education systems should equip them with the knowledge, skills and attitudes they will need if they are to take an active part in the operation of democratic institutions.

Rights to Language: Equity, Power, and Education brings together cutting-edge scholarship in language, education, and society from all parts of the world. Celebrating the 60th birthday of Tove Skutnabb-Kangas, it is inspired by her work in minority, indigenous, and immigrant education; multilingualism; linguistic human rights; and global language and power issues. Rights to Language situates issues of minorities and bilingual education in broader perspectives of human rights, power, and the ecology of language. The rich mix of papers serves to underline that the issues are comparable worldwide, that many disparate topics can cross-fertilize each other, and that our understanding of the issues can benefit from coverage that is global, reflective, and committed.
