Book excerpt: Demain l'Europe ouvre ses frontières intérieures. Se parler, dialoguer, communiquer est un problème, non étranger à la langue, qui nous concerne tous. L'avenir est en jeu. Surmonter l'obstacle de la langue étrangère est un défi que nous propose de relever Wolfgang Klein. Ce grand linguiste nous offre, dans un style alerte et concis, l'ensemble des orientations et des résultats de la recherche sur l'acquisition des langues. L'ouvrage, centré sur les processus naturels d'acquisition, n'a pas d'équivalent en français. Comment aborder une langue étrangère ? Comment se faire comprendre quand on n'en connaît que les rudiments ? Comment en faciliter ou en accélérer l'apprentissage ? Le lecteur découvre, par des exemples concrets, l'étendue du sujet. Les mécanismes sous-jacents à l'acquisition d'une langue étrangère éclairent et enrichissent notre réflexion sur notre propre langue. Lire cet ouvrage, c'est déjà apprendre à entamer le dialogue.

Download or read book Language and National Identity written by Leigh Oakes and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines the relationship between language and national identity. Unlike many previous studies, it employs a comparative approach: France and Sweden have been chosen as case studies both for their similarities (e.g. both are member states of the European Union) as well as their important differences (e.g. France subscribes in principle to a civic model of national identity, whereas the basis of Swedish identity is undeniably ethnic). It is precisely differences such as these which allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the ethnolinguistic implications of some of the major challenges currently facing France, Sweden and other European countries: regionalism, immigration, European integration and globalization.The present volume benefits from the use of a multidisciplinary approach, and differs from others on the market because of the variety of methods of inquiry used. A series of societal analyses is complemented by an empirical component, bringing a more grounded understanding to the issue of language and national identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afin de parvenir à une meilleure entente entre pays voisins, maîtriser une autre langue que sa langue maternelle serait souhaitable Selon ces recommandations, le Conseil de l'Europe et l'Union européenne présentent ici un projet sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des langues étrangères dans le contexte scolaire. Il a pour objectif de développer, dans le cadre du concept de plurilinguisme, les bases générales de méthodologie de langue tertiaire en les illustrant d'exemples, sur le modèle de la séquence linguistique "l'allemand après l'anglais ". Les organisateurs du projet, le Centre européen pour les langues vivantes du Conseil de l'Europe et le Goethe Institut Inter Nations, coopèrent à cet égard, en collaboration avec des institutions régionales actives dans le domaine de l'enseignement de langues étrangères.

Download or read book Handbook of Multilingualism and Multiculturalism written by Geneviève Zarate and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2011 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built around the concept of linguistic and cultural plurality, this book defines language as an instrument of action and symbolic power. Plurality is conceived here as : a complex array of voices, perspectives and approaches that seeks to preserve the complexity of the multilingual and multicultural enterprise, including language learning and teaching ; a coherent system of relationships among various languages, research traditions and research sites that informs qualitative methods of inquiry into multilingualism and its uses in everyday life ; a view of language as structured sociohistorical object, observable from several simultaneous spatiotemporal standpoints, such as that of daily interactions or that which sustains the symbolic power of institutions. This book is addressed to teacher trainers, young researchers, decision makers, teachers concerned with the role of languages in the evolution of societies and educational systems. It aims to elicit discussion by articulating practices, field observations and analyses based on a multidisciplinary conceptual framework.

Download or read book Language use in business and commerce in Europe written by European Federation of National Institutions for Language. Conference and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The linguistic domains of business and commerce are especially affected by the economic and communicative globalization. Since language use in these domains has an impact on the use of a language in other domains, the future development of the European languages will not mainly depend on language-internal processes, but will increasingly be influenced by the use of English as the international vehicular language. The present development in Europe is discussed in several overview articles and a series of reports on the specific situation in various European countries. In addition, the Lisbon Resolution of EFNIL, pointing at the advantages of multilingualism in international business, is presented in 26 languages including the 23 official languages of the European Union. It calls the EU and its members to acknowledge languages as key factors for economic success, also from the perspective of consumers and workers.

Download or read book Minority Languages National Languages and Official Language Policies written by Gillian Lane-Mercier and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-12-30 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a context where linguistic and cultural diversity is characterized by ever-increasing complexity, adopting official multilingual policies to correct a country's ethno-linguistic, socio-economic, and symbolic imbalances presents many obstacles, but the greatest challenge is implementing them effectively. To what degree and in what ways have official multilingualism and multiculturalism policies actually succeeded in attaining their goals? Questioning and challenging foundational concepts, Minority Languages, National Languages, and Official Language Policies highlights the extent to which governments and international bodies are unable to manage complex linguistic and cultural diversity on an effective and sustained basis. This volume examines the principles, theory, intentions, and outcomes of official policies of multilingualism at the city, regional, and national levels through a series of international case studies. The eleven chapters – most focusing on lesser-known geopolitical contexts and languages – bring to the fore the many paradoxes that underlie the concept of diversity, lived experiences of and attitudes toward linguistic and cultural diversity, and the official multilingual policies designed to legally enhance, protect, or constrain otherness. An authoritative source of new and updated information, offering fresh interpretations and analyses of evolving sociolinguistic and political phenomena in today's global world, Minority Languages, National Languages, and Official Language Policies demonstrates how language policies often fail to deal appropriately or adequately with the issues they are designed to solve.

Download or read book Manual of Romance Languages in Africa written by Ursula Reutner and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than two thousand languages spread over its territory, multilingualism is a common reality in Africa. The main official languages of most African countries are Indo-European, in many instances Romance. As they were primarily brought to Africa in the era of colonization, the areas discussed in this volume are thirty-five states that were once ruled by Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, and the African regions still belonging to three of them. Twenty-six states are presented in relation to French, four to Italian, six to Portuguese, and two to Spanish. They are considered in separate chapters according to their sociolinguistic situation, linguistic history, external language policy, linguistic characteristics, and internal language policy. The result is a comprehensive overview of the Romance languages in modern-day Africa. It follows a coherent structure, offers linguistic and sociolinguistic information, and illustrates language contact situations, power relations, as well as the cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment emerging from the interplay of languages and cultures in Africa.
