While ong>theong>re are ong>manyong> issues and problems surrounding this assessment, one problem that needs to be addressed is ong>theong> lack ong>ofong> alternative ways ong>ofong> assessing children's language and literacy for K-12 practitioners. ong>Theong>re are ong>manyong> ways to approach ong>theong> assessment ong>ofong> language and literacy. How one approaches ong>theong> assessment ong>ofong> oral and written language depends, in large part, on how language is defined and on what purposes language is viewed as serving. In this book, alternative ways ong>ofong> assessing language are based on three different ong>perspectivesong> defining language and its uses: anthropological, socio-psycholinguistic, and literary. Although applying ong>theong>se ong>perspectivesong> to language is not new, only recently have educators and oong>theong>rs taken seriously ong>theong> need for assessment ong>ofong> language to be consistent with ong>theong> ong>perspectivesong> ong>ofong> language underlying classroom instruction. Simply put, as language education (including reading, writing, and oral language) becomes increasingly based upon anthropological, socio-psycholinguistic, and literary principles, ong>theong> assessment ong>ofong> language and literacy must also be based upon such principles. This book discusses and illustrates how to reconceptualize assessment in terms ong>ofong> ong>theong> alternative ong>perspectivesong> outlined here.

Arguing the Just War in Islam

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kelsay, John, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Jihad, with its ong>manyong> terrifying associations, is a term widely used today, though its meaning is poorly grasped.

How ong>Islamong>, with more than one billion followers, interprets jihad and establishes its precepts has become a critical issue for both ong>theong> Muslim and ong>theong> non-Muslim world. John Kelsay's timely and important work focuses on jihad ong>ofong> ong>theong> sword in ong>Islamong>ic thought, history, and culture. Making use ong>ofong> original sources, Kelsay delves into ong>theong> tradition ong>ofong> shari'a--ong>Islamong>ic jurisprudence and reasoning--and shows how it defines jihad as ong>theong> ong>Islamong>ic analogue ong>ofong> ong>theong> Western "just" war.

"Arguing ong>theong> Just War in ong>Islamong>" provides a systematic account ong>ofong> how ong>Islamong>'s central texts interpret jihad, guiding us through ong>theong> historical precedents and Qur'anic sources upon which today's claims to doctrinal truth and legitimate authority are made. In illuminating ong>theong> broad spectrum ong>ofong> ong>Islamong>'s moral considerations ong>ofong> ong>theong> just war, Kelsay helps Muslims and non-Muslims alike make sense ong>ofong> ong>theong> possibilities for future war and peace.
