Abridged Edition

Penguin Readers Level 3: Liar's Beach (ELT Graded Reader)

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book is open access, What makes people competent at work? This question is becoming complicated with the emergence of new technologies and the hastened pace of global economic exchanges. While there is less consensus about what people should know and be able to do to be rewarded in the workplace, the discussion about skills and competencies becomes even hotter among those who express concern about the gaps between the demands and supplies of "skilled" workforces.
&nbsp;
Given this situation, one of the main objectives of this book is to clarify the true nature of often-discussed "skills gaps", using the cases of manufacturing workers in the Global South. Instead of discussing the issues based on a broad, ambiguous understanding of human abilities, after an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature and theorization, the book proposes a detailed classification of cognitive, non-cognitive (including socio-emotional skills and personality traits), and technical abilities. Then, it presents both contextually relevant and generalizable explanations about relationships among them. By doing so, the volume offers insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking ideas to reform their human resources development policies and practices.
&nbsp;
The second objective of the volume is to propose the analytical perspective of Realist-Constructivism, using the "skills gaps" analysis as the empirical case, to demonstrate its theoretical, conceptual, and practical capacities to overcome the dichotomy between induction and deduction through abductive reasoning with a set of instruments to collect data that enable such analysis.
&nbsp;
Empirical surveys, using a set of questionnaires and skills assessment we developed, were conducted in four countries in the Global South: Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and Pakistan. With Realist-Constructivism, we can consider work-related competencies in close relation to the specific workplace requirements and culture, while situating them within broader industrial, economic, and regulatory frameworks. Our methods and instruments enable us to link the subjective epistemologies of competencies among individuals in the micro-ecologies of the workplace with the ontological realities of labor market opportunities and evaluations.

Chapter 1: Spanish in Jamaica’s Language Education Policy.- Chapter 2: Officialdom: Spanish versus Jamaican Creole.- Chapter 3: The CARICOM Mandate.- Chapter 4: Jamaica’s Response to the CARICOM Mandate.- Chapter 5: Teachers of Spanish for the Primary Level.- Chapter 6: At What Age Should Foreign Language Learning Start?.- Chapter 7: The ‘Restart Policy’: Articulation of Spanish in Schools.

This book examines the status and relationships of the languages included in Jamaica’s Language Education Policy, with a particular focus on Spanish. While Jamaican Creole is the first language for most Jamaicans and English is the second and official language, Spanish has been designated as Jamaica’s official foreign language. Parliamentarians and other commentators often speak about granting ‘second language’ status to Spanish, a notion that conflicts with thecountry’s Language Education Policy and the complex linguistic landscape within Jamaica and the wider English-speaking Caribbean. This book sets the record straight by underlining where Spanish fits within the overall language framework and reviews the efforts of Jamaica’s Ministry of Education (MoE) to enhance the teaching of Spanish, particularly at the primary level, as mandated by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in the early 2000s. This work will be of interest to students and scholars of foreign language education and language policy, as well as trainee teachers, curriculum developers, and education administrators.

The Margellos World Republic of Letters

The extraordinary testimony of a daring Caribbean writer-activist, determined to expose injustice and defend the dignity of migrant workers &nbsp; In the 1960s, hundreds of women traveled from French colonies in the West Indies to become domestic workers for white families in France. Lured by the French government with the false promise of economic opportunity, these women instead found themselves subjected to racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, overwork, and no pay until they "earned back" the cost of the trip to France.After hearing the shocking stories of Caribbean domestic workers, Françoise Ega took a position as a cleaning woman in wealthy French homes in order to chronicle these abuses. Structured as a collection of unsent letters to the Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, Notes to a Black Woman weaves the story of Ega's experiences in France with her memories of Martinique, her observations on the joys and tribulations of family life, and her reflections on the power of the written word to reveal the discomfiting truths behind the facade of bourgeois French society.Composed on her bus commutes and by candlelight at her kitchen table while her five children slept, Notes to a Black Woman is a piercing denunciation of the legacies of colonialism and slavery, a wholesale rejection of alienation, and an intimate archive of friendship, joy, solidarity, motherhood, and hope.

Returning early from a disastrous date night with my husband, I know something is wrong the moment the wheels crunch the gravel drive of our home. Inside, the TV is on and a half-eaten meal waits on the table. My heart stops when I find our little girl is alone in the house and our babysitter, Sasha, is missing... Days later, when I'm arrested for Sasha's murder and torn away from my perfect little family, I'll wish I had told someone about the threatening note I received that morning. I'll hate myself for not finding out who the gift hidden inside my husband's wardrobe was for. I'll scream from the rooftops that I'm innocent - but no one will listen. I will realise I was completely wrong about everything that happened that night... But will you believe me? Twisted and absolutely unputdownable,&nbsp;Date Night&nbsp;exposes what goes on behind the closed doors of a happy home and the dangerous truths we ignore to protect the ones we love.

Date Night

'A landmark appraisal... deep and enriching' GUARDIAN 'An exhilarating meeting of critical minds' OBSERVER 'Serpell is a superlative essayist' DIANA EVANS 'Serpell brings her expertise and eye to Toni Morrion's singular literary genius' HARPER'S BAZAAR The essential companion to Toni Morrison's work, written by Namwali Serpell, 'one of the most innovative and intelligent writers today' (Financial Times) Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate and most beloved of writers, has inspired generations of readers. But her artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona, perhaps because, as Namwali Serpell puts it, 'she is our only truly canonical black, female writer - and her work is highly complex.' In On Morrison, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning writer and professor to illuminate Toni Morrison's masterful experiments with literary form. This is Morrison as you've never encountered her before, a journey through her vivid fiction and criticism, as well as her lesser-known dramatic works and poetry - with contextual guidance and original close readings. Accessible and thrillingly rigorous, On Morrison is a primer not only on how to read one of the most significant American authors of our time, but how to approach any great work of literature. The conversation between the two black women artist-readers that rises from these pages is stylish, edifying and spectacular in its scope and erudition. '[Serpell has] hopped on a rocket and touched the Tonisphere, with her mind... Serpell's excitement, her sense of discovery and dismay, become yours' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Breathtaking, provocative, and refreshing' IMANI PERRY
