The studies address a wide range of substantive issues, including core French and immersion program design and outcomes, classroom studies, teacher development, and social and administrative perspectives on FSL education."

Download or read book Minority Populations in Canadian Second Language Education written by Katy Arnett and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, the picture painted of French second language learning in Canada has tended to focus on successful French immersion. This volume offers a broader representation, in response to the demographic changes that have made the French language classroom a more complex place. Focusing on inclusion and language maintenance, the chapters discuss how a multilingual population can add the two official languages to their repertoire whilst maintaining their languages of origin/heritage; how the revitalization of Indigenous languages can best be supported in the language classroom, and how students with disabilities can be helped to successfully learn languages.

Download or read book A Report on the Status of the Teaching of French as a Second Language Within CTF Member Organization Jurisdictions written by Canadian Teachers' Federation and published by The Federation. This book was released on 1981 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ten-member commission on French as a Second Language (FSL) was established by the Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF) in July 1978, with a three-year mandate. One of the commission's tasks was to review the national scene in the area of FSL education. A process was initiated to survey CTF member organizations, to review education acts and regulations of each province, and to review official reports. This report includes a summary of the findings with comments. The report is presented as follows: (1) provincial/territorial regulations governing FSL education; (2) observations on the regulations in terms of definition of objectives, required grade levels and time allocation, prescribed programs or texts, teacher training, and general observations; (3) federal government support for second language studies, especially assistance for the teaching of the second official language, the special projects program for the development of bilingualism, teachers' bursaries, language training centers, and the second language monitor program; and (4) an outline of relevant policy or position statements by CTE member associations. Appendices include relevant statistical tables and position papers from member associations. A French language version of the body of the report and the statistical tables is included. (AMH)
Download or read book Project Based Second and Foreign Language Education written by Gulbahar H. Beckett and published by IAP. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dewey's idea of Project-based Learning (PBL) was introduced into the field of second language education nearly two decades ago as a way to reflect the principles of student-centered teaching (Hedge, 1993). Since then, PBL has also become a popular language and literacy activity at various levels and in various contexts (see Beckett, 1999; Fried-Booth, 2002; Levis & Levis, 2003; Kobayashi, 2003; Luongo- Orlando, 2001; Mohan & Beckett, 2003; Weinstein, 2004). For example, it has been applied to teach various ESL and EFL skills around the world (e.g., Fried-Booth, 2002). More recently, PBL has been heralded as the most appropriate approach to teaching content-based second language education (Bunch, et al., 2001; Stoller, 1997), English for specific purposes (Fried-Booth, 2002), community-based language socialization (Weinstien, 2004), and critical and higher order thinking as well as problem-solving skills urged by the National Research Council (1999). Despite this emphasis, there is a severe shortage of empirical research on PBL and research-based frameworks and models based on sound theoretical guidance in general and second and foreign language education in particular (Thomas, 2000). Also missing from the second and foreign language education literature is systematic discussion of PBL work that brings together representative work, identifying obvious gaps, and guiding the field toward future directions. This, first of its kind, volume bridges these obvious gaps through the original work of international scholars from Canada, Israel, Japan, Singapore, and the US.

Download or read book First Language Use in Second and Foreign Language Learning written by Miles Turnbull and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers fresh perspectives on a controversial issue in applied linguistics and language teaching by focusing on the use of the first language in communicative or immersion-type classrooms. It includes new work by both new and established scholars in educational scholarship, second language acquisition, and sociolinguistics, as well as in a variety of languages, countries, and educational contexts. Through its focus at the intersection of theory, practice, curriculum and policy, the book demands a reconceptualization of code-switching as something that both proficient and aspiring bilinguals do naturally, and as a practice that is inherently linked with bilingual code-switching.

Download or read book Handbook of Early Language Education written by Mila Schwartz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 939 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first international and interdisciplinary handbook to offer a comprehensive and an in-depth overview of findings from contemporary research, theory, and practice in early childhood language education in various parts of the world and with different populations. The contributions by leading scholars and practitioners are structured to give a survey of the topic, highlight its importance, and provide a critical stance. The book covers preschool ages, and looks at children belonging to diverse ethno-linguistic groups and experiencing different histories and pathways of their socio-linguistic and socio-cultural development and early education. The languages under the scope of this handbook are identified by the contributors as immigrant languages, indigenous, endangered, heritage, regional, minority, majority, and marginalized, as well as foreign and second languages, all of which are discussed in relation to early language education as the key concept of the handbook. In this volume, “early language education” will refer to any kind of setting, both formal and informal (e.g. nursery, kindergarten, early childhood education centers, complementary early schooling etc.) in which language learning within a context of children's sociolinguistic diversity takes place before elementary school.
