An inclusive strategy is defined as a practice or something that people do to give meaning to the concept of inclusion (Florian, 2011). Inclusive strategies therefore are about practices that give all children equal opportunities to participate in quality learning by ensuring that barriers to learning and participation are removed. Hunger has been identified as one of the barriers to learning, especially in developing countries (Potterton & Dawjee, 2004) and many schools have introduced school feeding programmes as a strategy to promote education for all children. In this qualitative study, grounded in the interpretive paradigm, the views of principals and teachers are explored to establish how school feeding programmes operate or fail to operate as inclusive strategies in schools. Through the use of semi-structured interviews, the study revealed that although school feeding programmes were viewed as mechanisms that operate as inclusive strategies, there were multiple concerns pertaining to the programmes. The principals’ and teachers’ views revealed that while their school feeding programme promoted the academic and general success of all learners, it also inhibited the academic and general success of some children by promoting the stigmatization of children from low-socio economic backgrounds. The study also revealed major concerns in the administration of the school feeding programmes. With reference to the participants’ views on school feeding programmes, it can be contended that while school feeding programmes serve as inclusive strategies for all children in schools, they also have multiple constraints that could to be addressed as an attempt to improve their effectiveness.

Foreword At the World Food Programme (WFP), innovation has been at our core from the very beginning. For decades, WFP’s undeterred focus on reaching people in need has driven us to constantly look for new approaches to food assistance in even the most precarious environments. This book tells that story. It shows in detail how, over the past four decades, creative minds at WFP have worked together on innovations in programmes, delivery systems, and even in back office processes to make WFP more efficient and effective.

  • Some Relevant Aspects of the Constituents of the English Tone
    Some Relevant Aspects of the Constituents of the English Tone Unit for Formal Pronunciation Teaching Some Relevant Aspects of the Constituents of the English Tone Unit for Formal Pronunciation Teaching* Algunos aspectos importantes de los componentes de la unidad tónica inglesa para la enseñanza formal de la pronunciación Nilton Hitotuzi** Universidad Federal del Amazonas, Brazil […] the question of how people know what is going on in a text is a special case of the question of how people know what is going on in the world at all (De Beaugrande, 1980, p. 30). This paper is an attempt to provide evidence that the semantics of utterances can also be offered by intonation, and thus to point out some important aspects of the English intonation system for formal pronunciation teaching. Furthermore, on the assumption that this system plays a major role in aural/ oral communication, it argues for the necessity of long-term experiments on the applicability of David Brazil’s Discourse Intonation approach with beginners. It nonetheless recognises that applying it to students in a foreign-language learning environment may pose a serious challenge for teachers whose mother tongue differs from the target language. Key words: Intonation system, formal pronunciation teaching, oral/aural interaction Este artículo pretende evidenciar que la semántica de los enunciados también puede estar dada por la entonación, y de esa manera señalar algunos aspectos importantes del sistema de entonación del inglés para la enseñanza formal de la pronunciación. Además, partiendo del supuesto de que este sistema juega un papel importante en la comunicación oral, este artículo clama por la necesidad de experimentos a largo plazo sobre la aplicabilidad con principiantes del enfoque de entonación del discurso, de David Brazil.
