Meyer, Kirsten – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2021
The assumption that students are differently talented often underlies the public and philosophical debate about the justice of school systems. It is striking that despite the centrality of the notion of 'talent' in these debates, the concept is hardly ever explicated. I will suggest two explications: First, philosophers who point to different…

This paper hopes to shed light on how ordinary people learn in ways and through means that are at odds with the experiences of scholars…

It is proposed that,…

Thus, conceptually, EST holds great promise for…

Zotzmann, Karin; Hernández-Zamora, Gregorio – Language Learning Journal, 2013
Since the 1980s the field of language teaching and learning has emphasised the interplay between language, culture and identity and promotes both communicative and intercultural competencies.
