Full textTutkielman aiheena on englannin kielen sanaston opettaminen suomalaisen peruskoulun ala-asteella kolmen opiskeluvuoden jälkeen. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmänä on 77 11-vuotiasta ei-syntyperäistä englannin kielen oppijaa. Aineistona ovat sanastotehtävät, joihin oppilaat vastasivat kirjallisesti. Tutkimusongelma on ottaa selville, ovatko sanalistat soveltuvia opetustarkoituksiin ja tutkia kokeellisesti nuoren, ei-syntyperäisen oppijan sanaston osaaminen. Teoriaosa koostuu Charles Kay Ogdenin Basic English sanalistasta ja kielen opettamiseen liittyvistä kysymyksistä. Empiirisessä osassa käytetty tutkimusmenetelmä oli laskea sanatiheyksiä oppijoiden vastauksista ja verrata niitä Basic English sanalistaan. Keskeiset tutkimusmenetelmät ilmoitettiin sanalöydöksinä jaettuna sanaluokkiin ja selitettiin sanallisesti ja taulukoiden muodossa Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, onko oppijoiden käyttämä kieli perusenglantia vai ei

In 2009/2, the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) establishes a new program entitled Curso de Licenciatura em Letras - Inglês, via distance learning (DL), having as objective the education of future English teachers. The present research aims at investigating how students of the program, taking the courses Compreensão e Produção Oral em Língua Inglesa IV and Compreensão e Produção Oral em Língua Inglesa V perceive the use of the resources and activities aiming at the development of their linguistic skills in English. The data were collected from 25 students of those courses who answered an online questionnaire, which was composed by closed questions and, mostly, by closed questions with justification. Among those 25 participants, 5 were chosen to participate in a second data collection process, a semi-structured interview. The data analysis consisted of careful reflection and interpretation of that data. That analysis reveals that the participants perceive both main resources, and the activities developed with them, to be adequate for developing their oral production skill in different aspects. The participants perceived the Final Projects as an opportunity for them to focus on matters related to accuracy, such as the opportunity of working on grammar and pronunciation. On the other hand, the Skype Chats, were perceived by the participants as positive as they give them the opportunity to formulate sentences quickly and spontaneously in the target language.

In the present study, the defensibility of test items is investigated in three different testing situations: proficiency tests, classroom tests, and university entrance examinations. The defensibility is judged using the concept of validity as put forth by Messick (1989) for educational testing and by Bachman (1990) for language testing, i.e., in terms of validity of the interpretations and actions based on test item responses, considering the justifications coming from evidential basis and consequential basis. For the investigation, in terms of evidential basis, for construct-related evidence, constructs of language ability and reading ability are used, and for criterion-related evidence, the criterion defined for university studies by Weir, Huizhong, and Yan (2000) and the framework proposed by Bachman (1990) for the assessment of authenticity of test tasks in relation to the criterion tasks are used. In terms of consequential basis, an appraisal of the consequences is based on Bachman's (1990) notion of fairness and Shohamy's (2001) critical perspective of the use of tests. The method used for the investigation is based on recent notion of validity as argument-based proposed by many scholars in the area of testing. It is also based on the validity table proposed by Chapelle (1994) for considerations of the forces of the arguments, both in favor, or against the validity of the interpretation of ability based on the items, with the additional feature of a third column, with the refutation of the argument against, as suggested by Davidson (personal communication, 2004). Considering the arguments provided for each item, it is possible to conclude that some items are defensible and some are not. Some defensible items focus on skills such as identification of syntax and cohesion, in particular lexical cohesion, inference of word meaning, elementary and propositional inferences, and identification of functional value. Some non-defensible items have the construct-irrelevant aspects of assessing constructs other than reading ability, such as vocabulary knowledge, background knowledge, writing ability, illustration comprehension, and the criterion-irrelevant aspect of assessing tasks not present in the criterion, such as the tasks specific for reading non-academic texts as poems, narratives, advertisements, and technical problems impeding test takers to perform at their level of ability. Other non-defensible items have the consequence of being biased once specific background knowledge is presupposed for their answers. The political and pedagogical implications of the conclusions claim for the choice or development of items incorporating features of validity, in all the facets, considering both evidential basis and consequential basis, so as to make them more defensible.

Bearing in mind the recent research concern with individual lives, this study reports a biographical investigation of sixteen tertiary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students from the state of Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil. The research study aims at capturing the specificities and complexities in the developmental processes of two groups eight undergraduates and eight graduates of EFL students. language learning approaches, in an attempt to understand (a) how they conceive their own English learning as well as (b) how they view themselves as English students. Both groups voiced their past English learning experiences in different settings through semi-structured interviews. Students. biographical accounts were organized into learning stories and analyzed through a narrative approach. Their accounts revealed that students. adopted learning approaches are particularly influenced by the impact of the different learning settings to which they have been exposed throughout their educational process. The research results indicate that the two sets of learning approaches seem to be highly concerned with (a) teacher-as-a-transmitter; (b) job-orientedness; (c) self-reliance; and (d) English-course-orientedness in the undergraduate group; and (e) book-centeredness; (f) self-effort; (g) teacher-reliance; and (h) reticence in the graduate group. The results also suggest that these approaches are flexible, fluid and subject to constant shifts, thus being capable to interweave among themselves
Considerando pesquisas recentes que se preocupam com o estudo do indivíduo, este estudo relata uma investigação biográfica de dezesseis alunos universitários de Inglês do estado do Rio Grande do Norte/Brasil. O estudo objetiva capturar as especificidades e complexidades nos processos desenvolvimentais de dois grupos de alunos de Inglês como língua estrangeira: oito alunos de graduação e oito de especialização. Assim, a pesquisa tem o intuito de compreender (a) como esses alunos concebem suas próprias aprendizagens de Inglês e (b) como eles vêem a si próprios enquanto alunos de Inglês. Os dois grupos de alunos verbalizaram, por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, suas experiências passadas com a aprendizagem de Inglês em diferentes contextos. A biografia dos alunos foi organizada em estórias de aprendizagem e analisadas sob uma abordagem narrativa. Essas biografias revelaram que as abordagens de aprendizagem adotadas pelos alunos são particularmente influenciadas pelo impacto dos diferentes contextos de aprendizagem sob os quais eles estiveram expostos durante o processo educacional. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os dois grupos de abordagens parecem estar altamente vinculados ao (a) professor-transmissor; (b) orientação para o trabalho; (c) auto-dependência; e (d) orientação para cursos de Inglês no grupo da graduação; e (e) centralização no livro; (f) auto-esforço; (g) dependência no professor; e (h) passividade no grupo da especialização. Os resultados também sugerem que essas abordagens são flexíveis, fluidas e sujeitas a mudanças constantes, e que, portanto, são capazes de se entrelaçarem uma com as outras

Full textIn the area of language teaching and second language acquisition, there has recently been an increasing emphasis on learners’ beliefs, since they impose a great potential in the learning process. Hence, learners’ beliefs have become an important part of research in the field. Consequently, research on this matter has been conducted in several countries but not in ours, leaving our perspective as educators with no additional and valuable information to support pedagogical practices when planning lessons and working with students. The present study focuses its attention on Chilean learners’ beliefs about learning English as a foreign language from a contextual perspective according to the themes selected from the BALLI--Beliefs about Language Learning Inventory by Horwitz. This study employed the semi-structured interview method to investigate the nature of learners’ beliefs. Consistent with previous findings, this study revealed that learners’ beliefs were born out of their previous learning experiences. Learners’ beliefs were context specific, related to social background, and individual differences; however, they were not immutable.

Este estudo investigou os componentes da habilidade oral que são tratados nas escalas orais de dois testes de proficiência em inglês como lingual estrangeira (TOEFL e IELTS) e duas diretrizes para orientações em ensino, aprendizagem e testagem (ACTFL e CEFR). Para alcançar o objetivo do estudo, primeiramente, cada escala de produção oral foi analisada através da lista de verificação e instrumento de avaliação da habilidade comunicativa de linguagem proposta por Bachman (1995). Esta análise revelou o grau de envolvimento de cada componente da habilidade omunicativa de linguagem em todas as escalas de produção oral. As escalas de produção oral foram analisadas pelo framework para descrição do construto oral proposto por Fulcher (2003). As análises demonstraram que os componentes da habilidade das escalas do TOEFL e do IELTS são similares enquanto aquelas do ACTFL e CEFR são também muito comparáveis. Além disso, a escala oral do IELTS é mais comparável às escalas orais do ACTFL e CEFR do que à escala oral do TOEFL. Os principais resultados deste estudo podem contribuir para o melhor entendimento, por professores e estudantes, dos componentes da habilidade oral que estão presente em exames internacionais de proficiência em inglês e em diretrizes internacionais para orientações em ensino, aprendizagem e testagem.

Many scholars in different areas (Byram, 1989; Hall, 1997; Kramsch, 1998) have already emphasized how language and culture are intimately related. The main issue in Applied Linguistics seems to be the understanding of how these concepts - language and culture - should be connected in the language classroom (Kramsch, 1998; Risager, 2006). Therefore, this study tries to understand the role of culture inside foreign language classrooms through English undergraduate students' representations about culture and culture learning in their English classes at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). The data collection consisted of an open-ended questionnaire, private semi-structured interviews and email correspondences. A thematic analysis of the data showed that students represented culture in mainly two ways - as formal and valued knowledge or as sociocultural practices. Similarly, they regarded culture learning as learning about contents from English-speaking countries or as learning how to perform pragmatic functions of language in appropriate ways, depending on the context of situation. The role of culture in EFL classrooms was perceived by students either as the topic of the lesson, at times dissociated from language or as the pragmatics of learning a language that reflects specific world views, in which language and culture were intrinsically connected. Thus, two main pedagogical implications seem to arise from these findings. The first one regards the construction, in the language classroom, of meanings of culture that allow students to see the fluid and changeable nature of culture. The second one regards the importance of making our students aware of the social construction of meanings so they can perceive the intrinsic relationship between language and culture.
Diversos pesquisadores em diferentes áreas (Byram, 1989; Hall, 1997; Kramsch, 1998) já enfatizaram a relação intrínseca existente entre língua e cultura. Neste aspecto, a principal discussão no campo da linguística aplicada parece ser a identificação de como esses conceitos - língua e cultura - deveriam estar conectados na sala de aula de língua (Kramsch, 1998; Risager, 2006). Dessa forma, este estudo tenta entender o papel da cultura na sala de aula de língua estrangeira (LE) através das representações sobre cultura e aprendizado de cultura na sala de aula de LE de estudantes da graduação em língua inglesa da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). A coleta de dados consistiu-se de um questionário aberto, entrevistas semi-estruturadas e troca de emails entre os participantes e a pesquisadora. Uma análise temática dos dados demonstrou que os participantes representavam cultura principalmente de duas formas - como conhecimento formal valorizado ou como práticas socioculturais. Da mesma forma, eles consideravam aprendizado de cultura como aprendizado sobre conteúdos dos países falantes de inglês ou como aprendizado em relação à como usar funções pragmáticas da língua de forma apropriada, dependendo do contexto. O papel da cultura da sala de aula de LE foi percebido pelos alunos tanto como conteúdo da aula, por vezes dissociado da língua ou como pragmática de se aprender uma língua que reflete visões de mundo específicas, onde língua e cultura foram conectadas intrinsicamente. Sendo assim, duas principais implicações pedagógicas parecem surgir desses resultados. A primeira diz respeito à construção, na sala de aula de língua, de sentidos de cultura que permitam aos alunos perceberem a natureza fluída e mutável da mesma. A segunda se refere à importância de conscientizar nossos alunos sobre a construção social dos sentidos para que eles possam perceber, dessa forma, a relação intrínsica entre língua e cultura.
