Download or read book English as a Second Language in the Mainstream written by Constant Leung and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first established in the 1970's the Applied Linguistics and Language Study series has become a major force in the study of practical problems in human communication and language education. Drawing extensively on empirical research and theoretical work in linguistics, sociology, psychology and education, the series explores key issues in language acquisition and language use. English as a Second Language learners are now a considerable and increasing part of the mainstream of urban schools in English-speaking countries. Beyond the learning of English, this development raises broader questions of language as a medium of education in a multilingual, multicultural environment. Drawing on their experience as researchers and educators in Australia, Canada and England, the authors of English as a Second Language in the Mainstream present an up-to-date account of advances in theory and practice. Their analysis of system-wide provision however, suggests that a truly responsive educational vision is lacking: government policy is inadequate, educational practices for ESL students are either underdeveloped or poorly coordinated with practices for other students, and the rhetoric of reform fails to engage significantly with issues of teaching and resources. The authors argue towards a more comprehensive vision which can acknowledge the relation between issues concerning ESL students and issues concerning the educational system as a whole, which can coordinate reforms in ESL education with general reforms, which can explicitly and systematically integrate language learning and content learning, and which can build more positively on the multilingual and multicultural nature of modern education for all students.
Download or read book Exploring Critical Citizenship in a Community based ESL Program written by Brian David Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis reconceptualizes the problems and purposes of English as a Second Language by way of a case study and series of lessons on the 1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty. Central to this study is a dialogic engagement between various critical, postmodern, and applied linguistic theories for the purposes of enhancing participatory citizenship skills through ESL pedagogy. Throughout this thesis, the relative (in)compatibilities of these diverse conceptual models are evaluated through the specific classroom events, student experiences, and sociopolitical contexts of the local community centre where these lessons took place. Chapter one outlines several key concepts for critical practice in community-based ESL programs. Chapter two takes up the issue of citizenship education and explores the complex ways in which the dominant discourses of ESL shape the democratic expectations of both teachers and students. In chapter three, the function of teacher research in the context of citizenship education is appraised. Data collection for the thesis is framed by alternative validity criteria sensitive to the ideological factors that are central to issues of politics and identity negotiation in public life. Chapter four describes the program and community setting where the case study takes place. Chapter five describes the actual lessons on the Quebec referendum, interspersed with short theoretical discussions which provide a rationale for the teaching strategies chosen. In chapter six and seven, the possibilities for theoretical hybridity or paradigmatic dialogue are explored in depth in the contexts of L2 pedagogical grammar and vocabulary teaching, respectively. Aspects of poststructural discourse and subjectivity are appraised alongside Hallidayan systemic-functionalism in a discussion of pedagogical grammar. In a discussion of vocabulary teaching, several poststructural semiotic concepts are evaluated in relation to applied linguistic research on morphology, word motivation and compositionality. The final chapter of the thesis examines future trends in Canadian multicultural policy to anticipate their influence on community-based programs and to suggest directions for teaching in support of social justice in increasingly multicultural and multiracial contexts.
