Of Emoji and Semioliteracy : Reading, Writing, and Texting in the Literacy Instruction Classroom /
:
In service to their unique demographic of learners, developmental reading and writing instructors must steadfastly teach basic literacy skills to a diverse student population with varying degrees of literacy proficiency. Even more dauntingly, educators are tasked with procuring andragogically-and-pedagogically appropriate teaching tools - those that meet the needs of the individual student while being accessible and relatable to this adult learner demographic. Of Emoji and Semioliteracy: Reading, Writing, and Texting in the Literacy Instruction Classroom proposes emoji as one such viable literacy and postsecondary writing teaching tool. Drawing from a mixed-methods study, this work chronicles a Texas community college integrated reading and writing project in which students attempt to demonstrate mastery of State-mandated literacy content areas using both traditional writing and emoji. By postulating emoji as a semioliteracy-based instructional tool, this work also explores emoji's wider implications on teaching reading and writing within the developmental, First-Year Writing, postsecondary, and literacy instruction classes across all levels and disciplines.

'Southern' Europe and Beyond in the Mediterranean : Critical Essays on Adult Learning and Education /
:
This book covers different aspects of Adult Learning and Education in the Mediterranean. It provides an analytic overview of provision in 'North' Mediterranean (including 'East' Mediterranean) and 'South' Mediterranean and adopts a Critical Education/Pedagogy Perspective predicated on Gramscian and Freirean lenses. In addition, the book provides in depth chapters on ALE in Palestine (two chapters), in Italy, Portugal and Spain and also on Migration. It concludes with an inter-ethic vision for ALE for a society, not as it is, but as it can be: A genuinely inclusive multi-ethnic society where Conflict and Difference are faced in a spirit of democratic renewal and not antagonism. ALE has a part to play here.
