Download or read book Aspects of Language Development in an Intensive English Program written by Alan Juffs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is much in the literature on ESL development, this book is the first of its kind to track the development of specific language abilities in an Intensive English Program (IEP) longitudinally and highlights the implications of this particular study’s findings for future IEP implementation and practice and ESL and SLA research. The volume draws on many years’ worth of data from learners at an IEP at the University of Pittsburgh to explore selected aspects of language development, including lexical, grammatical, speaking, and writing abilities, in addition to placement assessment practices and student learning outcomes. A concluding chapter points to the ways in which these findings can be applied to decision making around IEP curriculum development and the future role of IEPs in higher education more broadly. With its focus on students in IEP settings and the concentration on data from students evaluated over multiple semesters, this volume offers a unique opportunity in which to examine longitudinal developmental patterns of different L1 groups on a variety of measures from the same learners and will be key reading for students and researchers in second language acquisition, English for Academic Purposes, language education, and applied linguistics.

Download or read book Intensive vs Extensive Approaches in Foreign Language Teaching written by Carmen Neagu and published by Carmen Neagu née Eni. This book was released on 2023-01-22 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this theoretical and experimental paper is to clarify the influence of an extensive learning program on high school students' language comprehension and attitude towards reading. The experiment was administered throughout a school semester with a control group following the intensive approach and an experimental group subject to the extensive approach. The intervention of the experiment was represented by the two teaching approaches (extensive vs. intensive), whereas the measured outcome consisted in the learners’ changes in language proficiency and attitude towards reading. Since both intensive and extensive approaches are necessary in order to prepare students for college tasks, the senior high school period is an ideal moment to start introducing extensive language programs as a means of achieving and not substituting the communicative competence. Furthermore, the reading habit will outlast and accompany students as a lifelong second nature.

Download or read book Innovation in University Based Intensive English Programs written by Jason Litzenberg and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the past, present and future directions of innovation in US-based Intensive English Programs (IEPs), which provide international students with an immersion-style environment for learning academic English, prior to matriculating into a full-time college or university degree program. IEPs frequently serve as sites for pre-service teacher preparation, curricular experimentation and research, and yet little published work takes a critical look at the advantages and shortcomings of such programs. The chapters in this book provide a nuanced view of this microcosm of the English language teaching industry, demonstrating the various ways that IEPs have impacted and continue to influence the wider fields of Applied Linguistics and TESOL. They emphasize the unique positioning of IEPs within higher education and describe the various ways IEP practitioners can influence their host institutions and beyond.

Download or read book Understanding EAP Learners Beliefs about Language Learning from a Socio cultural Perspective written by Chili Li and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the dynamic nature of EAP (English for academic purposes) learners’ beliefs about language learning in their shift from an EFL (English as a foreign language) environment to an EMI (English as the medium of instruction) setting in mainland China. It adopts a mixed method paradigm, whose quantitative part aims to capture the general dynamic feature of the selected student population, while its qualitative part attempts to unveil the process of change in beliefs about language learning among the sample. It is hypothesized that the change in their beliefs about language learning is the result of the interplay between the learners’ agency and the mediation of the contextual realities at the institutional and social levels.
