Foreign Language Teaching and Learning by Terrell Welch Pdf

Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: New Research begins by examining whether, and to what extent, the three types of linguistico-cultural expressions (proverbs, idioms and sayings) of Nepali translated into English would be intelligible to native English speakers and non-native English speakers outside of Nepal. The second chapter reveals the challenges in successful foreign language acquisition for primary school age learners. Particular attention is paid to the investigation of cognitive styles such as impulsivity, reflexivity, rigidity, and flexibility in the learning process. The third chapter focuses on the theoretical substantiation and experimental verification of student-centered learning technology in the educational process. Additionally, the authors investigate data collected in Portuguese L2 classrooms in a multicultural university in Macau, China. The combination of the students first language (Cantonese or Mandarin), the target language (Portuguese) and the official language of the university (English) was found to provide different spaces for participants to formulate contexts and define rules regarding the exclusive use of the target language in class. The impact of an integrated cooperative learning approach on soft skills related to English as a foreign language learning is assessed, in addition to existing research on the characteristics of written texts of level two test-takers by adopting a linguistic and discourse analytic approach. The authors go on to present data gathered through a questionnaire adapted from McMillan (2001) and follow-up interviews conducted to gain a deeper insight into the instructors classroom practices. The findings of the study revealed important implications related to the congruence and incongruence between the requirements of Turkish as second language curriculum in Turkey. The closing chapter focuses on teaching methodologies and classroom practices that could provide learning opportunities to develop and maintain academic skills and self-regulated language learning strategies, specifically, through implementing a project-based learning approach.

New Trends in Foreign Language Teaching by Raúl Ruiz Cecilia,António Lopes Pdf

Language teaching approaches, methods and procedures are constantly undergoing reassessment. New ideas keep emerging as the growing complexity of the means of communication and the opportunities created by technology put language skills to new uses. In addition, the political, social and economic impact of globalisation, the new demands of the labour market that result from it, the pursuit of competitiveness, the challenges of intercultural communication and the diversification of culture have opened new perspectives on the central role that foreign languages have come to play in the development of contemporary societies. This book provides an insight into the latest developments in the field and discusses the new trends in foreign language teaching in four major areas, namely methods and approaches, teacher training, innovation in the classroom, and evaluation and assessment.

Language Planning in Primary Schools in Asia by Richard Baldauf,Robert Kaplan,Knonko Kamwangamalu,Pauline Bryant Pdf

In foreign language education, decisions must be taken on what languages to teach, who will teach them, in which schools (i.e. all, only urban, only rural), in which grades, the number of hours a week, and the cost involved. This book explores the answers to these questions across a number of Asian polities. It illustrates why some of the efforts undertaken are successful and why some are not, why – despite significant investments of time and resources – some students do not seem to acquire the languages being taught, and why some teachers responsible for instruction in the designated foreign languages have problems achieving fluency in the designated language or have other language teaching difficulties. It suggests some strategies various polities might attempt to achieve their stated language learning objectives. This book was originally published as a special issue of Current Issues in Language Planning.

Language Learning and Intercultural Understanding in the Primary School by WENDY. COBB,Virginia Bower Pdf

Language Learning and Intercultural Understanding in the Primary School shows how to deliver a progressive and holistic embedded language curriculum. It provides guidance on inclusive approaches for students with English as an additional language, including native speakers in the target language as well as language awareness activities that maximise links with learning in English. Practical and accessible, it contains classroom examples, plans, resources and pedagogical approaches all underpinned by theory, research and practice. Each chapter examines specific themes relating to language, culture, identity and wellbeing, providing rich discussions and a range of perspectives. Case studies 'bring to life' the examples provided, and reflection points offer the reader the opportunity to pause and consider an idea, resource, or challenging concept before moving on. Presenting a lived narrative of shared voices, the authors invite readers to learn about their own cultural and linguistic identities and how these relate to their practice. This is a must-read for teachers, language specialists and school leaders who wish for a clear rationale for the role of language, culture, identity and wellbeing within and beyond the curriculum.
