The linguistic integration of adult migrants: from one country to another, from one language to another
Author: Council of Europe
Publisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 928717962X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
The linguistic integration of migrants affects every aspect of settling in a new country (employment, health, etc.). The aim of this collection of texts is to propose a number of specific measures member states can take to help adult migrants become acquainted with the language of the host country. The main focus is on organising language courses that meet migrants’ real communication needs. It is not enough for authorities simply to consider the technical aspects of such courses, they should also design and conduct them in accordance with the fundamental values of the Council of Europe. A number of issues concerning the linguistic integration of adult migrants are presented here, beginning with the notion of linguistic integration itself. Family reunion, the nature of citizenship and the function of language tests, among others, are dealt with from the point of view of language and language use. Readers are invited to reflect on the type of language competences that need to be acquired as well as an appropriate use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The collection also sets out approaches and instruments designed to assist in implementing effective policies.

Electronic Discourse in Language Learning and Language Teaching
Author: Lee B. Abraham
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027219885
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
New technologies are constantly transforming traditional notions of language use and literacy in online communication environments. While previous research has provided a foundation for understanding the use of new technologies in instructed second language environments, few studies have investigated new literacies and electronic discourse beyond the classroom setting. This volume seeks to address this gap by providing corpus-based and empirical studies of electronic discourse analyzing social and linguistic variation as well as communicative practices in chat, discussion forums, blogs, and podcasts. Several chapters also examine the assessment and integration of new literacies. This volume will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and students interested in exploring electronic discourse and new literacies in language learning and teaching.

E-Learning and Social Media
Author: Elinor L. Brown
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1681234300
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
International Advances in Education: Global Initiatives for Equity and Social Justice is an international research monograph series of scholarly works that focuses primarily on empowering children, adolescents, and young adults from diverse educational, socio-cultural, linguistic, religious, racial, ethnic, and socio-economic settings to become non-exploited/non-exploitive contributing members of the global community. The series draws on the international community of investigators, academics, and community organizers that have contributed to the evidence base for developing sound educational policies, practices, and innovative programs to optimize the potential of all students. Each themed volume includes multi-disciplinary theory, research, and practice that provides an enriched understanding of the drivers of human potential via education to assist readers in exploring, adapting, and replicating innovative strategies that enable ALL students to realize their full potential. Among these strategies are the integration of digital technologies (DT) and information and communication technologies (ICT) into contemporary education platforms. However, technology must be more than just a tool to deliver content and stimulate engagement; it must become a means to broaden access to learning, advance equity, promote social justice, and encourage social inclusion. Especially reaching out to address the academic and social needs of rural, impoverished, marginalized, and displaced populations. Though the digital divide continues to hinder educational attainment for underprivileged populations, ICTs are providing significant opportunities to deliver literacy and basic skills instruction to disadvantaged segments of the global population as well as engage, motivate, and customize learning to address local needs. Nonetheless, the availability of ICT is not a deterministic process. Other societal, cultural, political and contextual factors are of fundamental importance to acceptance and integration that enables people to benefit from technology. The relationship between educational access, instructional delivery, and ICT should be considered in more complex terms. In particular, digital technologies should be viewed as instructional tools that improve access to educational opportunities, strengthen cultural resources, promote social and economic equity, and provide students with the knowledge and competencies to prepare them for a future that cannot be predicted. Therefore, developing ICT and media capabilities that instill citizenship and stewardship in today’s students is crucial to gleaning the social and cultural advantages of a contemporary global society that encourages full and equal citizenship. Citizenship education refers to two understandings of citizenship: as belonging and as engagement. The first is focused on national identity and valorizes the values of justice and democracy, as well as language and culture as the roots bridging the personality of children to the community of solidarity and shared norms. The second understanding of citizenship complements the ‘roots’ with ‘roads’, with the choices made by the individual, with the capacity to form and develop the child’s personality into the actor and author of his/her educational, professional, and life projects. The adolescent prepares to become an active, committed, and engaged citizen with the intellectual capacity for critical thinking that leads to responsible actions. Digital citizenship expresses the transformations of both belonging to and engaging in the information society and contributes to the development of generation “Y” with the aspiration to innovate and experiment, to explore the possibilities of the new digital world, to question authorities and instances of knowledge and power. Education addresses digital citizenship by opening more avenues for the intersection of Internet, imagination, and exploration. Volume 10, E-learning & Social Media: Education and Citizenship for the Digital 21st Century, addresses the use of technology in: developing and expanding educational delivery systems to reach rural populations, providing access to equitable education opportunities for disadvantaged and marginalized populations, and encouraging student civic engagement. The volume evaluates e-learning programs (distributed through the Internet, via satellite and hosted on social media) that promote equitable education for disadvantaged populations; examines the challenges and benefits of social media on student self-identity, collaboration, and academic engagement; shares promising practices associated with technology in education and e-citizenship in the 21st century, and advances the discussion on blending global citizenship education and social media that raises student awareness, accountability and social justice involvement.

Book Description
This book questions assumptions about the nature of language. Looking at diverse contexts from sign languages in Indonesia to literacy practices in Brazil, the authors argue that unless we change and reconstitute the ways in which languages are taught and conceptualized, language studies will not be able to improve the social welfare of language users.

Enseigner le français langue étrangère en contexte libyen
Author: Khadija Fshika
Publisher: Editions L'Harmattan
ISBN: 2140144740
Category : Education
Languages : fr
Pages : 279
Book Description
Cet ouvrage étudie les pratiques de transmission d'enseignants de français langue étrangère (FLE), à partir d'un manuel universaliste, utilisé dans un contexte local, dans le cas présent libyen. Située au croisement de la didactique des langues, des sciences du langage et de l'ergonomie de travail, la recherche porte sur la relation entre la prescription comme contrainte institutionnelle, et le style d'agir professoral. L'auteur interroge les stratégies de reformulation des consignes du même manuel par deux enseignants. De telles interrogations permettent d'identifier des styles professoraux particuliers, et de questionner leur efficacité pragmatique dans le processus d'enseignement/apprentissage.

Managing Diversity in Education
Author: David Little
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 1783090820
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Diversity - social, cultural, linguistic and ethnic - poses a challenge to all educational systems. Some authorities, schools and teachers look upon it as a problem, an obstacle to the achievement of national educational goals, while for others it offers new opportunities. Successive PISA reports have laid bare the relative lack of success in addressing the needs of diverse school populations and helping children develop the competences they need to succeed in society. The book is divided into three parts that deal in turn with policy and its implications, pedagogical practice, and responses to the challenge of diversity that go beyond the language of schooling. This volume features the latest research from eight different countries, and will appeal to anyone involved in the educational integration of immigrant children and adolescents.

Construction du sens dans les interactions verbales en classe de FLE

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 584
Book Description
Cette recherche porte sur la construction du sens dans les interactions verbales en classe de FLE par des apprenants marocains de niveaux avancés. En s'inscrivant dans une démarche expérientialiste, cette étude examine, d'une part, la représentation sémantique et conceptuelle de l'acte s'excuser dans une perspective comparative entre le français et l'arabe marocain, et d'autre part, la réalisation linguistique de celle-ci d'un point de vue développemental. Elle retrace les structures représentationnelles et les mécanismes cognitifs susceptibles de mobiliser les formes linguistiques réalisées lors de l'interaction verbale. Pour ce faire, deux modèles théoriques se sont imposés de par leur pertinence à notre analyse et leur rapprochement théorique et méthodologique, à savoir la Grammaire Cognitive et la Sémantique des Possibles Argumentatifs. L'analyse menée dans cette étude sur la construction et la réalisation de l'acte s'excuser, à la fois d'un point de vue sémantico-cognitif et d'un point de vue linguistique, a fait apparaître que la construction du sens, déterminée par nos expériences dans et avec le monde, se fait préalablement au niveau cognitif. Ensuite, ce sens se négocie, s'actualise, se modifie et se réalise au cours de l'interaction verbale. Cette analyse a également montré que l'apprentissage ne se réduit pas au fait de s'approprier des formes linguistiques ou de développer des rapports biunivoques entre les sens et les formes qui les expriment. Il s'agit plutôt de repérer, comprendre et apprendre les représentations conceptuelle et sémantique sous-jacentes à l'expression de ces formes.

The Multilingual Turn
Author: Stephen May
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136287124
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Drawing on the latest developments in bilingual and multilingual research, The Multilingual Turn offers a critique of, and alternative to, still-dominant monolingual theories, pedagogies and practices in SLA, TESOL, and bilingual education. Critics of the ‘monolingual bias’ argue that notions such as the idealized native speaker, and related concepts of interlanguage, language competence, and fossilization, have framed these fields inextricably in relation to monolingual speaker norms. In contrast, these critics advocate an approach that emphasizes the multiple competencies of bi/multilingual learners as the basis for successful language teaching and learning. This volume takes a big step forward in re-situating the issue of multilingualism more centrally in applied linguistics and, in so doing, making more permeable its key sub-disciplinary boundaries – particularly, those between SLA, TESOL, and bilingual education. It addresses this issue head on, bringing together key international scholars in SLA, TESOL, and bilingual education to explore from cutting-edge interdisciplinary perspectives what a more critical multilingual perspective might mean for theory, pedagogy, and practice in each of these fields.
