The rebirth of an old language: issues of gender equality in Kazakhsstan

The existing language situation in Kazakhstan, while peaceful, is not without some tension. We propose to analyze here some questions we consider relevant in the frame of cultural globalization and gender equality, such as: free from Russian imperialism, could Kazakhstan become an easy prey of Turkey’s “imperialist dream”? Could these traditionally Muslim people be soon facing the end of religious tolerance and gender equality, becoming this new old language an easy instrument for the infiltration in the country of fundamentalism (it has already crossed the boarders of Uzbekistan), leading to a gradual deterioration of its rich multicultural relations? The present structure of the language is still very fragile: there are three main dialects and many academics defend the re-introduction of the Latin alphabet, thus enlarging the possibility of cultural “contamination” by making the transmission of fundamentalist ideas still easier through neighbour countries like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan (their languages belong to the same sub-group of Common Turkic), where the Latin alphabet is already in use, and where the ground for such ideas shown itself very fruitful.

Teaching children English as an additional language : a programme for 7-11 years old.

En Inglaterra, en muchas escuelas, dos tercios de los niños de una clase de unos 30 alumnos, sólo hablan inglés en el colegio, utilizando en sus casas su lengua materna. Ante esta situación, el libro presenta un programa de enseñanza en diez semanas orientado a niños de entre 7 y 11 años (Key Stage 2) para los que el inglés es un nuevo idioma, y les ayuda a aprender vocabulario, preguntas y frases básicas útiles en sus rutinas diarias. Con este método los profesores podrán identificar las necesidades individuales de cada niño, enseñar gramática y vocabulario, disponer de material de apoyo para las actividades y evaluar a los alumnos.

Although links can be traced to past patterns of gender segregation in print culture for children, in this paper we are interested in tracking incongruities in texts in the present context. In this paper we analyze critically the franchise anchored around Andrea J. Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz’s The Daring Book for Girls,
