Scholarly Books
![]() | Designing Learning with Multimodality in English Medium of Education (EME) Classrooms Across AsiaBy Victor Lim Fei & Jack Pun This book provides evidence-based and pedagogically-focused analyses of a variety of multimodal resources to scaffold learning in contexts of English-Medium Education (EME) in Asia. The contributing authors are active researchers in the field of EME and multimodality across the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. They explore both the latest theoretical conceptions on the design of EME, by harnessing the affordances of multimodality, as well as practical applications of multimodal pedagogies for the teaching and learning of specific subjects, particularly STEM subjects. They provide examples of EME lessons with annotated notes to showcase good practice. |
![]() | Teacher professional learning: The Singapore perspectiveBy: Shu-Shing Lee, Alexius Chia, Bee Leng Chua, Monica Woei Ling Ong & Pamela Costes-Onishi This book provides an insider’s perspective of the Singapore education system that views teacher capacity building as a key lever for quality educational experiences. It describes experiences from policy conceptualisation to practice implementations of teacher learning. This book includes international perspectives in the form of expert commentaries and critique where comparisons are made between Singapore’s experiences and those of other education systems. It also describes the complexities of teacher professional learning within and across three levels: policies, partnerships, and schools, that shape policy to practice implementations of teacher professional learning from pre-service to in-service teachers. |
![]() | Waves Rising: Collected Works of Ho Poh Fun & ResponsesWaves Rising is a volume that aims to recover the voice of Ho Poh Fun, an accomplished poet and fiction writer in the 1980s and 1990s, while establishing the contemporary relevance of her work to the growing readership of Singapore literature. Ho’s poetry and short fiction engage with questions of land reclamation, ecological loss and the lived experience of localities in way that were ahead of her time. The book adds to the widening critical reception of Singapore writing by pioneering a hybrid genre that puts a single author writing’s alongside creative and critical responses to Ho as writer and teacher. |
![]() | Teaching English Grammar in Asian Contexts: Making Meaning with GrammarBy: Christine Xavier & Chia Ti Yong, Alexius This book guides teachers, teacher educators and pre-service student teachers on using grammar as a pedagogical tool for meaning making, linking grammar as a meaning-making resource to literacy development. When grammar is meaningfully linked to literacy skills such as reading and writing, there is contextualised teaching of grammar. The authors thoroughly explore key concepts in grammar, including grammar as structure and grammar as choice. They illuminate these concepts by analysing a range of authentic texts from Asian contexts, showing how specific grammar features are purposefully used to convey meaning. Examples and illustrations of teaching ideas and materials focusing on contextualised teaching of grammar, including lesson plans, activity outlines, worksheets and teaching strategies, are contributed by current teacher practitioners who have tried out these ideas in their language classes. These teacher practitioners also share their reflections on how these ideas have worked in their classes. |
![]() | Developing Future-ready Learners for a Global Age: Pedagogical Innovations in SingaporeBy: Suzanne Choo, Liu Woon Chia & Chua Bee Leng Highlighting the pedagogical innovation and its context in Singapore’s teacher education and schools, the authors bridge theory and practice by providing an understanding of innovative practices informed by key shifts in Singapore's education policies and the key conceptual principles informing these practices. More importantly, it provides on-the-ground empirical insights into the ways these innovative pedagogical practices are enacted in the classroom and in teacher education programmes. Each chapter provides an in-depth understanding of how these pedagogies are applied across various subject disciplines, including guided problem-solving in Mathematics, games-based pedagogy in Science, multimodal literacies in language, ethical criticism in Literature, Nonlinear Pedagogy in Physical Education, multicultural approaches in music, and dialogic pedagogy in drama, among others. Balancing theoretical and empirical focus, this resourceful text will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in educational development, pedagogy, and teacher education, as well as policymakers across international fields in education. |
![]() | The Reading Lives of Teens: Research and PracticeBy Loh Chin Ee Bringing together contributions from well-known and emerging adolescent literacy researchers from different disciplinary perspectives, this edited collection consolidates contemporary research on teens’ volitional print and digital reading, whether in school or out-of-school contexts. The first part of the book offers overviews of what teens are reading, followed by chapters on community support on reading and new ways of researching teen reading. With chapters from North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East, the collection will offer multifaceted and complex insights into what, how and why teens read in different contexts. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter encourage readers to consider how the research can be applied in their own research, policy and practice contexts. This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers and educators who are invested in supporting adolescent-engaged reading with evidence- based policies and strategies. |
![]() | Global City Dilemmas and Anglophone Singapore LiteratureThis book looks at culturally significant, English-language texts produced in Singapore in the last 20 years by writers such as Balli Kaur Jaswal, Alfian Sa’at, Claire Tham, Amanda Lee Koe, Ng Yi-Sheng and Kevin Kwan. It provides an analysis sensitive to the writers' socio-political and cultural contexts, and shows how Singapore's Anglophone literature successfully disrupts the government’s narrative on transforming the island into a global city. By asking difficult questions, challenging hegemonic perspectives and exploring alternatives, the writers interrogate the country’s colonial history, its post-colonial Cold War development, and the normalization of totalizing narratives. Their texts also grapple with key aspects of contemporary Singapore society: its official multiracialism, forms of inequality, distribution of privilege, and gender and sexual politics. By connecting these texts to developments in postcolonial literary criticism, cosmopolitanism and globalization studies, this book sheds light on the ideological and cultural forces at work in Singapore society today. |
![]() | Designing Learning with Digital Technologies: Perspectives from Multimodality in EducationBy Victor Lim Fei & Mercedes Querol-Julián The book addresses the need to design learning with digital technologies, especially in a post-pandemic environment where blended learning has become ubiquitous. The book is organised around five themes: designing learning, digital learning designs, digital learning with embodied teaching, digital learning interactions, and digital multimodal literacies. The chapters focus on digital technologies as multimodal semiotic resources and the educational implication of each theme is drawn out from illustrative cases across contexts of learning. |
![]() | Understanding Barbara KingsolverBy Ian Tan In Understanding Barbara Kingsolver, Dr Ian Tan situates Kingsolver's oeuvre in an ecocritical and ecofeminist context and argues that her work puts forward an ethics of difference that informs a more egalitarian vision of the world. Following a brief biography, Dr Ian Tan explores ecocriticism as a literary strategy and analyzes Kingsolver's early nonfiction book, Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983, as an entry point to her thematic interests. Subsequent chapters attend to Kingsolver's nine novels, including her breakout The Poisonwood Bible and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Demon Copperhead, and the ways they engage with some of the most important issues of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including postcolonialism and climate change. This book shows how Kingsolver gives her readers the aesthetic tools to begin to see the familiar and the ordinary in a different light, allowing idealism to enrich our everyday lives. |
![]() | Confident Speaking: Theory, Practice and Teacher InquiryBy Prof Christine Goh & Liu Xuelin This book is a valuable resource for language teachers and teacher educators, as well as researchers interested in the teaching and development of second language speaking. It provides language teachers and teacher educators with evidence-informed ideas to help second language (L2) learners speak fluently and confidently in different social and academic contexts. |
![]() | Wallace Stevens and the Contemporary Irish Novel: Order, Form, and Creative Un-DoingBy Ian Tan This book is a major contribution to the study of the literary influence of the American modernist poet Wallace Stevens. It contemporizes Stevens’s literary influence with reference to novelistic style, themes, and thematic preoccupations that stake the claim for the international status of the contemporary Irish novel as it shapes a new understanding of “world literature” as exchange between national languages, cultures, and alternative formulations of aesthetic modernity as continuing project. |
![]() | Wallace Stevens In TheoryEdited by Thomas Gould & Ian Tan Through a range of critical and theoretical perspectives, this book seeks to describe the myriad kinds of thinking sponsored by Stevens's poetry and explores how contemporary literary theory might be invigorated through readings of Stevens. |
