Download or read book Conversation Analysis and Language Alternation written by Anna Filipi and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together researchers in conversation analysis who examine the practice of alternating between English and German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Vietnamese in the classroom. The collection shows that language alternation is integral to being and learning to become a bilingual, and that being and learning to become a bilingual are accomplished through a remarkably common set of interactional objects and actions, whose sequential organisations are quite similar across languages and educational sectors. This volume therefore shows that having recourse to more than one shared language provides an important resource for getting the work of language learning and teaching done through an orderliness that can be described and evaluated. The findings and the suggested pedagogical applications described in the volume will be of significant interest to researchers and teachers in a range of fields including second and foreign language teaching and learning, conversation analysis, teacher education and bilingualism.

Download or read book Bilingual Conversation written by Peter Auer and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Code-switching and related phenomena have met with linguists' increasing interest over the last decade. However, much of the research has been restricted to the structural (grammatical) properties of the use of two languages in conversation; scholars who have tried to capture the interactive meaning of switching have often failed to go beyond more or less anecdotal descriptions of individual, particularly striking, cases. The book bridges this gap by providing a coherent, comprehensive and generative model for language alternation, drawing on recent trends and methods in conversational analysis. The empirical basis is the speech of Italian migrant children in Constance, Germany.

Download or read book Multilingual Education Yearbook 2019 written by Indika Liyanage and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers essential insights into the challenges and complexities surrounding the medium of instruction (MOI), its impact on all languages and stakeholders in multilingual contexts, educational processes, developments and outcomes. MOI has been a prominent topic in recent debates on the role of languages in education in multilingual contexts, partly because prioritizing one language over others as the medium of instruction has a profound impact on all languages and stakeholders in multilingual contexts. These include, to name but a few, (language) teachers, teacher educators, students, and policymakers, as well as industries and enterprises built around the needs and expectations of these stakeholders. This book presents high-quality empirical research on education in multilingual societies. It highlights research findings that, in addition to providing descriptions of language learning, development and use in language contact and multilingual contexts, will help shape future language education policy and practices in multilingual societies.

Download or read book Conversation Analysis and Classroom Management written by Revert Klattenberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategies for successful classroom management have been readily available to practitioners for at least half a century. However, despite the vast body of knowledge available, there appears to be a great deal of scope for further research in terms of developing a more detailed understanding of the interactional details of classroom management practices. Drawing on a corpus of 58 hours of video and audio recordings in English as a Foreign Language classrooms in Germany, the book provides a micro-analytical perspective of foreign language classroom management. It contributes to the body of current research by focusing on how foreign language teachers respond to pupils’ classroom norm violations using interrogative constructions (i.e. interrogative reproaches). Through a Conversation Analytic investigation of these social actions, the paper provides valuable insights into the details of the in-situ production of classroom management strategies and their underlying interactional mechanisms.

Download or read book Conversation Analysis and a Cultural Historical Approach written by Anna Filipi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-03 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the distinct approaches of conversation analysis (CA) and cultural-historical theory to investigations of childhood storytelling with children aged 15 months to nine years. The authors draw on a rich set of data that depict children’s interactions with parents, teachers and peers as they talk together after having read stories, as they recount their experiences, as they enact stories through play, and as they participate in school activities in science and in literacy tasks. The book demonstrates the matters that concern CA and cultural-historical theory and explore in what ways comparisons can work to inform research design to understand how far the boundaries of approaches can be stretched, and the challenges in attempting to do so. In this process the authors focus on adding to knowledge about children’s rich interactional competencies and development as they tell stories, and on providing research-based evidence for parent, teacher and teacher educator practices.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Japanese Linguistics written by Yoko Hasegawa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 1146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The linguistic study of Japanese, with its rich syntactic and phonological structure, complex writing system, and diverse sociohistorical context, is a rapidly growing research area. This book, designed to serve as a concise reference for researchers interested in the Japanese language and in typological studies of language in general, explores diverse characteristics of Japanese that are particularly intriguing when compared with English and other European languages. It pays equal attention to the theoretical aspects and empirical phenomena from theory-neutral perspectives, and presents necessary theoretical terms in clear and easy language. It consists of five thematic parts including sound system and lexicon, grammatical foundation and constructions, and pragmatics/sociolinguistics topics, with chapters that survey critical discussions arising in Japanese linguistics. The Cambridge Handbook of Japanese Linguistics will be welcomed by general linguists, and students and scholars working in linguistic typology, Japanese language, Japanese linguistics and Asian Studies.

Download or read book Talk in Two Languages written by Joseph Gafaranga and published by Palgrave MacMillan. This book was released on 2007-12-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most common phenomena of language use among bilingual speakers is language alternation. Yet, from a theoretical perspective, it is impossible in principle both grammatically and socio-functionally. Therefore, a crucial question is how to account for its actual possibility despite this theoretical impossibility. Drawing on Ethnomethodology, this problem is described as that of order in talk in two languages. The book offers a critical reading of current approaches to language alternation as accounts of this essential problem of order.

Download or read book Bilingual Speech written by Pieter Muysken and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-12-14 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in depth analysis of the different ways in which bilingual speakers switch from one language to another in the course of conversation. This phenomenon, known as code-mixing or code-switching, takes many forms. Pieter Muysken adopts a comparative approach to distinguish between the different types of code-mixing, drawing on a wealth of data from bilingual settings throughout the world. His study identifies three fundamental and distinct patterns of mixing - 'insertion', 'alternation' and 'congruent lexicalization' - and sets out to discover whether the choice of a particular mixing strategy depends on the contrasting grammatical properties of the languages involved, the degree of bilingual competence of the speaker or various social factors. The book synthesizes a vast array of recent research in a rapidly growing field of study which has much to reveal about the structure and function of language.

Download or read book Code switching in Conversation written by Peter Auer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Code Switching, the alternating use of two or more languages ation, has become an increasingly topical and important field of research. Now available in paperback, Code-Switching in Conversation brings together contributions from a wide variety of sociolinguistics settings in which the phenomenon is observed. It addresses not only the structure and the function, but also the ideological values of such bilingual behaviour. The contributors question many views of code switching on the empirical basis of many European and non European contexts. By bringing together linguistics, anthropological and socio-psychological research, they move towards a more realistic conception of bilingual conversation action.

Download or read book Classroom based Conversation Analytic Research written by Silvia Kunitz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an international range of conversation analytic (CA) studies of classroom interaction which all discuss their empirical findings in terms of their theoretical and methodological contribution to the field of second language studies and their potential pedagogical relevance. The volume is thus unique in its focus on the theoretical and practical insights of CA classroom-based research and on the impact that such insights might have at the pedagogical level, from teaching to testing to teacher education. Given the growing interest in the pedagogical applicability of CA research, this book is a timely addition to the existing literature.

Download or read book Monolingual Policy Bilingual Interaction written by Rizwan-ul Huq and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research reported here is an investigation of bilingual instruction in Bangladeshi schools. In particular, the thesis explores how schooling takes place when a second language is used as a medium of instruction to teach subject content. The study is based on a corpus of 44 hours of video recordings from real-life classroom interaction at two Bangladeshi schools in two metropolitan cities. The age range of the students is 9 to 13 years. Using multimodal conversation analysis, the thesis analyzes the participants’ practice – as it emerges through mundane classroom activities – and thereby examines participants’ language use in the presence of an existing language policy. The findings show how everyday instructional activities are accomplished in classrooms, especially the pedagogical focus on clarifying subject content and vocabulary. It further highlights that the interrelation between classroom interaction and language policy is informed by the participants’ use of embodied resources and the surrounding material ecology. The dissertation contributes to the growing literature on social interaction in bilingual classrooms and the wider field of bilingual and multilingual pedagogy. Den här avhandlingen undersöker tvåspråkig undervisning i skolor i Bangladesh, med särskilt fokus på hur ett andraspråk, engelska, används för att undervisa ämnesinnehållet. Studien är baserad på videoinspelningar av klassrumsinteraktioner i två skolor i Bangladesh belägna i två storstäder. Åldern på de deltagande eleverna är 9 till 13 år, och den totala inspelningstiden är 44 timmar. I avhandlingen analyseras deltagarnas – både lärares och elevers – pedagogiska interaktion in situ, det vill säga så som de uttrycks i de faktiska klassrumssituationerna. Med hjälp av multimodal konversationsanalys undersöks vilka strategier deltagarna använder för att utföra klassrumsarbete mot bakgrund av skolans språkpolicy om att enbart kommunicera på engelska. Resultatet visar hur den faktiska undervisningen går till i klassrummen, och särskilt det pedagogiska fokuset på att förtydliga ämnesinnehållet och utöka ordförrådet. Avhandlingen bidrar till forskningen om social interaktion i tvåspråkiga klassrum och till den växande kunskapen om två- och flerspråkig pedagogik. বর্তমান গবেষণাপত্রটির উদ্দেশ্য বাংলাদেশী ইংরেজী-ভাষী স্কুলের বিষয়ভিত্তিক শ্রেনীকক্ষে (যেমন: গণিত, বিজ্ঞান, তথ্য ও প্রযুক্তি, কৃষি ইত্যাদি) পড়াশোনার কাজে কিভাবে পাঠদানকালীন সময়ে বাংলা ও ইংরেজীকে যুগপৎ ব্যবহার করা হয় তার সবিস্তার অনুসন্ধান। বাংলাদেশে অবস্থিত দুটি স্কুলের শ্রেণীকক্ষের দৈনন্দিন শিক্ষা কার্যক্রমের ক্যামেরায় ধারণকৃত উপাত্ত (সর্বমোট ৪৪ ঘন্টার) মাল্টিমোডাল কনভারসেশন এনালিসিস বা কথোপকথন বিশ্লেষণের মাধ্যমে এই সমীক্ষা পর্যবেক্ষণ করে যে, অংশগ্রহণকারী শিক্ষক এবং শিক্ষার্থীরা উভয়ই পাঠদানকালীন সময়ে কিভাবে প্রাতিষ্ঠানিক ইংরেজী এক ভাষা নীতি ব্যবহারের নিয়ম মেনে চলে। শিক্ষার্থীদের গড় বয়স ৯ থেকে ১৩। গবেষণাটির ফলাফল নির্দেশ করে যে, আপাত বিরোধী হলেও ইংরেজী এক ভাষা নীতির পরিবর্তে বাংলা ও ইংরেজীর যুগপৎ ব্যবহার শুধুমাত্র বিষয়ভিত্তিক জ্ঞান বৃদ্ধিই করে না বরং ইংরেজী সংক্রান্ত জ্ঞান (যেমন: শব্দভান্ডার, শব্দের গভীর অর্থ উপলব্ধি ইত্যাদি) বৃদ্ধিতে সুনির্দিষ্ট ইতিবাচক ভূমিকা রাখে। গবেষণার প্রাপ্ত ফলাফল থেকে আরো দেখা যায় যে, শিক্ষক ও ছাত্রছাত্রীরা নানাবিধ ধ্বনি-উত্তর (নন-ভার্বাল), কণ্ঠ-উত্তর (নন-ভোকাল) এবং শ্রেণীকক্ষের পারিপার্শ্বিক সংস্থানকে (ম্যাটেরিয়াল ইকোলজি) শিক্ষাসংক্রান্ত কর্মকান্ডে পদ্ধতিগতভাবে ব্যবহার করে এবংপাঠদানকালীন সময়ে বাংলা ও ইংরেজীর যুগপৎ ব্যবহারে নানাবিধ ভাষাগত ও ভাষা-উত্তর সংস্থান (রিসোর্স) বিস্তৃত ভূমিকা রাখে। দ্বি-ভাষা অথবা বহু-ভাষা সংক্রান্ত গবেষণায় আগ্রহী পাঠকের জন্য সমীক্ষাটি লিখিত।
