Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed study of understanding in a second language, related to the actual lives of minority workers. The focus is on everyday interactions between these workers and the bureaucrats of the society in which they are now resident. It provides an important contribution to the debate about the function of language as a social practice, adding a new perspective to the psycholinguistic and experimental paradigms, currently existing in second language acquisition research.

Download or read book Language Awareness in Multilingual Classrooms in Europe written by Christine Hélot and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the scope of today’s globalisation, linguistic diversity is a given fact of the world we live in. In several educational contexts in Europe, language awareness (LA) activities have been introduced with the objective to prepare pupils cognitively, socially and/or critically for life as multilingual, open minded and/or empowered citizens in a diverse world. Despite previous research in various contexts, the concept of LA remains problematic: a generally accepted, evidence-based conceptualisation is missing. This confronts both research and education with a challenge: in order to develop LA activities, implement them successfully in educational contexts and achieve the expected outcomes, we should know what the concept stands for, how it works and why we would choose to implement it in classrooms (or not). This volume focuses on three apparent simple questions: what, how and why? The first question – what? – refers to the concept(ual mess) of LA. The second question – how? – refers to the implementation of LA activities in several educational contexts. The third question – why? – is a recurrent theme running through all the chapters and deals with a reflection on the way we deal (un)consciously with LA activities in education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ceux qui parlent une langue seconde, savent par leur propre expérience que, malgré une bonne connaissance du vocabulaire et des règles de la grammaire, ils n’arrivent pas à réagir verbalement à des situations concrètes de la même manière que ceux qui la parlent en langue maternelle. Cet ouvrage, à la fois théorique et pratique, tâche de combler ce vide par une analyse contrastive serrée des enonces en situation, à partir d’un corpus étendu et varié, et de tests nombreux avec des sujets français, anglais, italiens, hongrois et japonais.

Book excerpt: Partant du postulat peu discuté selon lequel la capacité de lecture est l'une des clés de la réussite universitaire, les contributions rassemblées dans cet ouvrage font dialoguer des chercheurs en didactique des langues maternelles et secondes, des linguistes, des psychologues et des sociologues. L'ouvrage se propose d'interroger quelques-unes des fonctions de la lecture, notamment celle d'outil ordinaire du travail universitaire. Parmi les sujets abordés, on relèvera l'examen des différentes pratiques de lecture en Langue 1 et en Langue 2, le rôle des interactions lecture-écriture dans différents contextes nationaux, mais aussi la question des transferts de compétences en langue 1 et 2. Il s'agit en particulier de savoir comment les capacités de lecteurs en langue 1 sont mobilisées lors de la lecture en langue 2 et en quoi elles permettent de compenser partiellement les difficultés rencontrées. D'autres problèmes, comme celui que posent au lecteur des écrits de genres différents, aux caractéristiques textuelles et énonciatives spécifiques, fournissent la matière d'autres contributions. L'ensemble se veut un apport à la didactique de l'enseignement supérieur, actuellement en plein développement.

Download or read book Learner Corpora Construction and Explorations in Chinese and Related Languages written by Howard Hao-Jan Chen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book reflects the state of the art in learner corpus and related approaches to Chinese as a second language (CSL). CSL as a field has flourished in the past few decades due to the increasingly important role of the Chinese language at the world stage, yet studies of Chinese as a second language based on learner corpora have been less well developed due to the limited availability of data and lack of theoretical insights. This book represents the latest research in this area by 1) assembling a large group of active researchers from multiple international research communities (USA, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Taiwan, and France); 2) discussing the latest resources and technologies in Chinese and other Asian languages learner corpora and corpus building; 3) basing Chinese as a second language studies on data from learners of Chinese with a wide range of first language backgrounds (English, Japanese, Korean, French, among others); and 4) integrating corpus methods with a wide range of related methods in allied fields—language acquisition, usage-based linguistics, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics. This comprehensive collection is indispensable for anyone who is interested in corpus approaches to CSL and Chinese applied language studies in general.

Download or read book Multilingual Digital Storytelling written by Jim Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classrooms are increasingly multicultural in their social composition, and students are increasingly connected, through digital media, to local and global networks. However, pedagogy has failed to take full advantage of the opportunities these resources represent. Multilingual Digital Storytelling draws attention to the interfaces between learner engagement, creativity and critical digital literacy, as well as addressing the multilingual within the multiliteracies framework. Addressing a significant gap in the field of multiliteracies by focusing on multilingualism, this book explores new digital spaces for language learning and methods of extending understandings of youth literacy in an increasingly interconnected world. Drawing on innovative and multi-site research projects based in mainstream and community schools in London and overseas, this book discusses how young people become engaged creatively and critically with literacy by demonstrating how digital storytelling can be used as a tool for language development. The book begins by considering linguistic, cultural, cognitive and social dimensions of language learning from a theoretical perspective, whilst the second part focuses on practical case studies that reflect and illustrate these theoretical principles. Offering a powerful new perspective on multiliteracies pedagogy, Multilingual Digital Storytelling will appeal to researchers and academics in the fields of education, applied linguistics, sociology and youth and community studies. It will also be an invaluable resource for teachers, teacher educators, curriculum planners and policymakers.

Download or read book Content and Language Integrated Learning written by Yolanda Ruiz de Zarobe and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the growth of interest in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), an approach to second/foreign language learning that requires the use of the target language to learn content. Within the framework of European strategies to promote multilingualism, CLIL has begun to be used extensively in a variety of language learning contexts, and at different educational systems and language programmes. This book brings together critical analyses on theoretical and implementation issues of Content and Language Integrated Learning, and empirical studies on the effectiveness of this type of instruction on learners’ language competence. The basic theoretical assumption behind this book is that through successful use of the language to learn content, learners will develop their language proficiency more effectively while they learn the academic content specified in the curricula.
