This book was released on 2002-09-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Pedagogical Norm is grounded in both sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic principles. Pedagogical norms guide the selection and sequencing of target language features for language teaching and learning. This book both situates and expands on this concept highlighting the interaction of research and pedagogy. The papers collectively illustrate how the concept of pedagogical norm applies to all components of language, including phonology, morphology, syntax, and discourse. The book begins with a discussion of definitions including papers that trace the history of the concept and define what is meant by norms. Also included are papers that apply the concept of pedagogical norms in specific contexts (e.g., intonation, morphology) and to specific languages. Finally, pedagogical norms are extended beyond the more traditional areas of grammatical competence to such disparate areas as listening, discourse, and circumlocution.

Download or read book Taboos and Controversial Issues in Foreign Language Education written by Christian Ludwig and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides innovative insights into how critical language pedagogy and taboo topics can inform and transform the teaching and learning of foreign languages. The book investigates the potential as well as the challenges involved in dealing with taboo topics in the foreign language classroom. Traditionally subsumed under the acronym PARSNIP (politics, alcohol, religion, narcotics, isms, and pork). By examining how additional controversial topics such as disability, racism, conspiracy theories and taboo language can be integrated into conceptual teaching frameworks and teaching practice, this edited volume draws on examples from literary texts and pop culture such as young adult novels, music videos, or rap songs and investigates their potential for developing critical literacies. The book considers foreign language teaching outside of English teaching contexts and sets the groundwork for addressing the integration of taboo topics in foreign language education theory, research, and practice. Filling an important gap in educational research, the book will be of great interest to researchers, academics, and students of foreign language education, critical pedagogy, and applied linguistics. It will also be useful reading for teacher trainers and educators of foreign language education.

Download or read book Literacy Development and Enhancement Across Orthographies and Cultures written by Dorit Aram and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One key measure of a country’s status in the world is the literacy of its people; at the same time, global migration has led to increased interest in bilingualism and foreign language learning as topics of research. Literacy Development and Enhancement Across Orthographies and Cultures reviews international studies of the role of literacy in child development, particularly how children learn their first written language and acquire a second written and spoken one. Comparisons and contrasts are analyzed across eight countries and 11 languages, including English, Spanish, Mandarin, Hebrew, Dutch, and Catalan. Using qualitative and quantitative, established and experimental methods, contributors trace toddlers’ development of print awareness, clear up common myths regarding parental involvement and non-involvement in their children’s literacy, and suggest how the spelling of words can aid in the gaining of vocabulary. For added relevance to educators, the book includes chapters on early intervention for reading problems and the impact of pedagogical science on teaching literacy. Highlights of the coverage: Letter name knowledge in early spelling development Early informal literacy experiences Environmental factors promoting literacy at home Reading books to young children: what it does—and doesn’t do The role of orthography in literacy acquisition among monolingual and bilingual children Gaining literacy in a foreign language Instructional influences on literacy growth Literacy Development and Enhancement Across Orthographies and Cultures adds significant depth and interest to the knowledge base and should inspire contributions from additional languages and orthographies. It belongs in the libraries of researchers and educators involved in cognitive psychology, language education, early childhood education and linguistics.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Englisch - Pädagogik, Sprachwissenschaft, Note: 2,0, Universität Erfurt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die englische Sprache ist heute eine der weit verbreitetsten Sprachen der Welt, überall wo man hinkommt, wird Englisch gelernt und gesprochen, viele Worte sind bereits im Englischen Gang und Gebe. Gerade in Deutschland wird erheblich darüber diskutiert, ob und inwiefern es sinnvoll ist, Englisch bereits in der Grundschule zu lehren und wie man sich diese Kenntnisse in den Folgeschulen zu Nutze machen kann. Ein wichtiges Konzept dabei ist die language awareness, oder auch deutsch: Sprachlernbewusstheit, die aus dem Fremdsprachenlernprozess nicht wegzudenken ist, ja sogar Voraussetzung für diesen ist. Language awareness ist eine Form der Sprachbewusstheit, die dann zustande kommt, wenn die eigene Sprache, also die Muttersprache, durch den Kontrast zu einer anderen Sprache bewusst, verinnerlicht und erkannt wird.1 Donmall (1985) betrachtete language awareness als „Sensibilität gegenüber den Struktureigenheiten von Sprache und ihrer Funktion im menschlichen Zusammenleben.“ 2 Eric Hawkins stellte 1981 ein Konzept vor, welches er als Awareness of Language betitelte. Die schlechten Ergebnisse des Unterrichts in der Grundschule sollten durch einen Ergänzungskurs zu dem normalen Fremdsprachenunterricht verbessert werden. Dabei wurde darauf Wert gelegt, dass die Muttersprache verbessert wird und gleichzeitig ein effektiveres Fremdsprachenerlernen stattfindet. Ein sprachbewusster Mensch ist also in der Lage, die eigene Muttersprache genauestens zu analysieren und auszuleben und gleichzeitig lernt er eine, zwei oder gar noch mehr Fremdsprachen, was man in der Umgangssprache auch gern als Sprachbegabtheit bezeichnet. Language awareness bezeichnet also die Sprachbewusstheit, die Sensibilität für verschiedene Sprachen und ihre Merkmale und Funktionen und gilt als ein didaktisches Konzept zur Erziehung zur Mehrsprachigkeit. 3 In unserer Hausarbeit möchten wir vorerst erklären, was language awareness für den Fremdsprachunterricht bedeutet, ob der Englischunterricht in den unteren Schulbereichen wirklich förderlich ist und welche Methoden und Techniken zu ihrer Vermittlung den Grundschullehrern zur Verfügung stehen. 1 Schmid - Schönbein, Gisela: Didaktik Grundschulenglisch- Anglistik- Amerikanistik.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Englisch - Pädagogik, Sprachwissenschaft, Note: 1,0, Universität zu Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Begegnungen mit fremden Sprachen und das Fremdsprachenlernen in der Grundschule ist immer noch ein relativ neues Aufgabenfeld für Schulen. Hingegen einiger Kritik, hat sich Englisch als erste Fremdsprache für Schüler bereits ab dem zweiten Halbjahr der ersten Klasse durchgesetzt. Dafür gibt es schließlich auch eine Reihe plausibler Gründe. [...] Um all dies zu erreichen, bietet das fremdsprachliche Drama eine sinnvolle und freudebringende Möglichkeit. Hier können alle Mitglieder einer Klasse mitmachen, ganz egal ob sie sprachlich talentiert oder eher schüchtern sind. Das Drama eröffnet die Chance eine aktive Sprechrolle zu übernehmen, aber auch als ‚stille‘ Rolle keine langen englischen Sätze sprechen zu müssen. Die Schüler lernen durch das Schauspiel selbstbewusst innerhalb einer Lerngruppe oder vor Publikum aufzutreten, weiterhin erfahren sie etwas über die Wirkung von Mimik und Gestik. Die sozialen Fähigkeiten individuelle Leistung zu bringen und sich gleichzeitig in die Gruppe zu integrieren werden hier geübt und angewandt. Bei der abschließenden Aufführung des gelernten Stückes, in das viel Arbeit gesteckt wurde, erfahren die Schüler eine Wertschätzung wodurch sich ihr Selbstwertgefühl steigert. Englischlehrer in der Grundschule stehen natürlich vor der Herausforderung ein geeignetes englisches Drama zu finden. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, kann sich durch die Adaption eines authentischen fremdsprachlichen Kinderbuches beholfen werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat gezeigt, dass die Entwicklung vom storytelling hin zu einer dramatischen Umsetzung sehr gut gelingen kann. Das Kinderbuch Monkey Puzzle ist nur eines von vielen englischen Kinderbüchern, die sich hierfür eignen. disch, in den Unterricht zu integrieren. Denn, wie beschrieben, trägt der zeitliche Einsatz und Aufwand vielfältigen Nutzen für die Grundschüler.

Download or read book Emotions and English Language Teaching written by Sarah Benesch and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a critical approach that considers the role of power, and resistance to power, in teachers’ affective lives, Sarah Benesch examines the relationship between English language teaching and emotions in postsecondary classrooms. The exploration takes into account implicit feeling rules that may drive institutional expectations of teacher performance and affect teachers’ responses to and decisions about pedagogical matters. Based on interviews with postsecondary English language teachers, the book analyzes ways in which they negotiate tension—theorized as emotion labor—between feeling rules and teachers’ professional training and/or experience, in particularly challenging areas of teaching: high-stakes literacy testing; responding to student writing; plagiarism; and attendance. Discussion of this rich interview data offers an expanded and nuanced understanding of English language teaching, one positing teachers’ emotion labor as a framework for theorizing emotions critically and as a tool of teacher agency and resistance.

Download or read book Considering Emotions in Critical English Language Teaching written by Sarah Benesch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundbreaking in the ways it makes new connections among emotion, critical theory, and pedagogy, this book explores the role of students’ and teachers’ emotions in college instruction, illuminating key literacy and identity issues faced by immigrant students learning English in postsecondary institutions. Offering a rich blend of, and interplay between, theory and practice, it asks: How have emotions and affect been theorized from a critical perspective, and how might these theories be applied to English language teaching and learning? What do complex and shifting emotions, such as hope, disappointment, indignation, and compassion, have to do with English language teaching and learning in the neoliberal context in public universities? How might attention to emotions lead to deeper understanding of classroom interactions and more satisfying educational experiences for English language teachers and students? These questions are addressed not just theoretically, but also practically with examples from college classes of assigned readings, student writing, and classroom talk in which various emotions came into play. Thought-provoking, accessible, and useful, this is a must-read book for scholars, students, and teachers in the field of English language teaching.
