Full textEn Belgique, la diversité linguistique en salle de classe est souvent perçue comme étant un problème. Pour pouvoir aller au-delà de cette perception, il faut de la créativité et de l'imagination; ainsi pourra-t-on éventuellement commencer à valoriser les langues maternelles des élèves et à voir la diversité linguistique comme étant une richesse. Ensuite, les enseignants pourront travailler avec cette richesse de façon constructive, aussi bien pour la société que pour les élèves. Leur formation devrait comporter de la préparation solide dans ce domaine. C'est seulement en faisant cela que l'on peut attendre des opportunités équivalentes. Ce projet de mémoire de maîtrise a pour objet les expériences, les attitudes et les connaissances d'un groupe d'enseignantes à la maternelle sur le phénomène du plurilinguisme en salle de classe à la maternelle. L'étude se situe dans la municipalité de Heusden-Zolder dans le nord-est de la Belgique. Cette région est flamande et l'on y parle néerlandais. 57 enseignants de la maternelle ont rempli un questionnaire et 15 ont été interviewés. Cette étude montre que la politique linguistique d'utiliser le néerlandais comme seul langue d'enseignement ne correspond pas à la pratique. En général, les enseignants savent différencier et individualiser leur enseignement pour répondre aux besoins des élèves multilingues. Malgré tout, ce support supplémentaire ne répond pas aux besoins de ces élèves. Les enseignants recommandent de réduire le nombre d'élève par classe. En plus, les résultats montrent que les enseignants accompagnent bien leurs élèves lors de la phase non verbale et de l'interférence, mais peu d'entre eux prennent en considération la langue première des apprenants. Par conséquent, l'étude recommande d'encourager la littératie dans la langue première de l'enfant à la maison plutôt que d'imposer la langue de l'école à la maison.

Full textThis study explores how quality experienced teachers use culture to successfully deliver K-12 classroom instruction. Additionally, it develops and tests the effectiveness of a resource designed to instruct early career teachers on the use of culture to deliver classroom instruction.
Research was conducted in two phases over a four-year time frame (2014-2017). The study followed a mixed methods exploratory sequential design, using a participatory action research approach. Phase 1 gathered qualitative data from 20 experienced teachers located in two states, which were analyzed using constructed grounded theory. The results of this analysis, accompanied by a literature review, resulted in the development of a Chapter about Culture (CAC), an instructional resource on teaching through culture for early career teachers.
Phase 2 gathered quantitative data using a Checklist of Classroom Inventory (CCI) from eight Alaska early career teachers and one Montana experienced teacher, and were analyzed by averaging the pre/post CAC scores and comparing the differences. In addition, one open-ended question after use of CAC provided additional qualitative data about the resourcefulness of CAC, as well as the process for implementing the lessons.
Phase 1 results revealed five common themes when teaching through culture: Relationships, Communication, Connections, Respect, and Multicultural Resources. These themes contributed to the construction of a value-added theory of practice for teaching through culture, and served as the basis of the CAC. Phase 2 results demonstrated growth by early career teachers after using the newly created CAC in all five themes of teaching through culture.

Full textCette étude quasi-expérimentale a intégré un volet d'enseignement en classe d'une langue seconde (L2) dans lequel les apprenants ont appris (a) à interagir les uns avec les autres et (b) à fournir une rétroaction corrective (RC) les uns aux autres. Cette intervention a été examinée selon trois approches. Premièrement, dans une perspective psycholinguistique, l'effet de l'intervention sur les patrons interactionnels des apprenants et ses effets sur leur développement en L2 ont été étudiés. Deuxièmement, les perceptions des apprenants sur l'intervention relative aux dynamiques de salle de classe ont été examinées. Troisièmement, la construction de l'objet d'enseignement (c'est-à-dire, la fluidité dans les interactions à l'oral) a été étudiée afin d'assurer la validité du test utilisé pour mesurer le développement de la compétence en L2. Quatre classes japonaises de mise à niveau en anglais à l'université ont participé (N = 167). Chaque classe s'est vue attribuée une des quatre conditions de traitements. Des deux groupes de RC, l'un a appris à fournir des incitations et l'autre à fournir des reformulations. Le troisième groupe a seulement participé aux activités d'interaction entre pairs et le quatrième a servi de groupe témoin. Les trois classes expérimentales ont reçu (a) une activité de prise de conscience sur les interactions entre pairs et (b) des activités en groupe de deux basées sur la fluidité à l'oral tout au long d'un semestre universitaire. En plus des pré- et des post-tests qui ont examiné le développement en termes de précision et d'aisance à l'oral des participants, ces derniers ont rempli des questionnaires établissant leurs perceptions avant et après l'intervention. De plus, des apprenants ont été choisis pour être interviewés à la fin du semestre. Afin d'explorer la construction de l'aisance des interactions à l'oral et de valider les mesures utilisées, les enregistrements ont été évalués par des examinateurs humains. Les résultats ont révélé que, après un semestre, les participants ont utilisé un plus grand nombre d'interactions supposées contribuer au développement de l'acquisition de la L2. De plus, les deux groupes RC ont amélioré leur précision et leur aisance, évaluées par des mesures de taux de discours non élagués et élagués, tandis que le groupe d'interaction entre pairs a réalisé de meilleurs résultats que le groupe témoin uniquement sur les mesures d'aisance. Il a été supposé qu'alors que les interactions entre pairs offrent des occasions pour l'entrainement répété facilitant la mise en place des procédures requises, la rétroaction corrective a permis d'affiner la capacité des apprenants à contrôler leur propre production ainsi que celle de leurs interlocuteurs. Le questionnaire et les données enregistrées des interviews ont montré que les perceptions des participants ont évolué au fil du temps dans une certaine mesure. Plus particulièrement, les participants ont, dès le début, cru en l'efficacité des interactions et de la RC entre pairs. Cependant, leurs sentiments envers les interactions entre pairs ont évolué positivement à travers le temps. De même, ceux qui ont appris à fournir une RC à leurs camarades de classe sont devenus plus confiants dans cette tâche. Enfin, les analyses de corrélation et de régression des résultats des taux de discours, de l'exactitude grammaticale et des scores réalisés aussi bien en contexte individuel qu'interactionnel indiquent que (a) les échelles d'évaluation était fiables; (b) les scores individuels n'étaient pas significativement corrélés avec ceux des performances interactionnelles, mais fortement corrélés avec ceux des taux de discours non élagués; (c) parmi les quatre mesures d'aisance, seule la mesure taux de discours élagués s'est révélé être un facteur significativement prédictif des résultats d'exactitude grammaticale.

Full textI have developed a curriculum that uses international folktales to promote multicultural values without imposing them. This thesis is a holistic rendering of theory and practice in respect to the curriculum developed. The theory emphasizes multiculturalism and folktales as children's literature with a brief discussion of values education, qualitative research, anthropology, and curriculum design. The research comprises the procedures, results, and conclusions of a pilot study exploring children's value responses to international folktales and a principal study of teaching the curriculum to a sixth grade class. Through the synthesis of theory and practice a better understanding of multiculturalism emerges along with a researched curriculum.

Full textScience teachers in the United States are not prepared to teach the students in their classrooms. Teachers are most often White females, while the children in their classrooms are from diverse backgrounds. Multicultural pedagogies exist, but teachers must be educated during their teacher preparation courses to understand their own relationship with race before they can enact such pedagogies in their classrooms. This qualitative study sought to examine the lived experiences of eight science education doctoral students in a course called Critical Voices in Teacher Education, through the qualitative method approach of transcendental phenomenology. The participants’ experiences were examined through three theoretical frameworks: transformative learning theory, White racial identity, and racial literacy. Interviews, field notes, and student reflections were used to collect data for this phenomenological study. The findings showed that through the process of critical reflection and group discussion, participants had a transformative experience in which their racial identities developed, and perceptions of students and curriculum shifted to include multicultural pedagogical approaches. The findings from this study supported the idea that teacher education programs must use racial identity development and multicultural curriculum as a foundation for all education programs.

Full textDominant cultures exist in many different guises, yet may function almost invariably in symbiosis with double standards and discrimination. However, these acts are often only recognised by those being subjected to them, not by those practising the same. Selective concern and empathy depending on who the practitioners happen to be, as well as who the recipients of said acts are, actually helps to illustrate the precise definitions of these terms.

Abstract : A great deal has been discussed and written about the relevance of interculturality in the additional language teaching and learning (Kramsch, 1993; Byram, 2002; Liddicoat and Scarino, 2013). According to Kramsch (1993), the teaching of an additional language, from an intercultural perspective, works as an experience that involves learners in de-constructing their perceptions about the world and the communities where they belong to. In such experience, the learner is interactively involved in practices of meaning making, which results from multiple interpretations of their own and other s cultures. However, despite the wide range of theoretical studies developed so far, there is not much empirical research conducted in real classrooms to investigate how interculturality can be constructed through the interaction between learners, teachers and texts. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed at understanding how three English teachers from a public school in Florianópolis deal with language and culture in the additional language classroom, analysing their perceptions of interculturality throughout their narrated and enacted pedagogic practices. Different data collection procedures were adopted so as to triangulate the data. The corpus of this study is composed of open-ended questionnaires, classes recorded in video, field notes, as well as transcriptions from classroom observations. The findings suggest that although the teachers recognize the relevance of interculturality in their classrooms, many are the difficulties when it comes to the enactment of such perspective. However, despite all the difficulties observed, when intercultural moments were managed to be constructed, the benefits were clearly noticed: students engaged in discussions, they were instigated to participate more, they could relate what was being taught to their realities outside the school, and indeed, this experience fostered them to understand the English class not only as a space of transmission of information about the language or customs of different cultures, but as a context of reflection where they could become more critical as students and citizens of world.
Muito se tem falado e escrito sobre a relevância da interculturalidade no ensino e aprendizagem de línguas adicionais (Kramsch, 1993; Byram, 2002; Liddicoat e Scarino, 2013). Segundo Kramsch (1993), o ensino de uma língua adicional, a partir de uma perspectiva intercultural, funciona como uma experiência que envolve os aprendizes na desconstrução de suas percepções sobre o mundo e as comunidades a que pertencem. Nesse tipo de experiência, o aprendiz é interativamente envolvido em práticas de construção de significados, que resultam de múltiplas interpretações de sua própria cultura e da cultura de outros. No entanto, apesar da vasta gama de estudos teóricos desenvolvidos até o momento, há poucas pesquisas empíricas realizadas em salas de aula reais para que se possa investigar como a interculturalidade pode ser construída através da interação entre alunos, professores e textos. Portanto, este estudo qualitativo teve como objetivo compreender como três professores de inglês de uma escola pública em Florianópolis lidam com língua e cultura na sala de aula de língua adicional, buscando analisar suas percepções de interculturalidade ao longo de suas práticas pedagógicas narradas e atuadas. Foram adotados diferentes procedimentos de coleta de dados, a fim de se garantir a triangulação dos dados. O corpus deste estudo é composto de questionários abertos, aulas gravadas em vídeo, notas de campo, assim como transcrições de observações em sala de aula. Os resultados sugerem que, embora os professores reconheçam a importância da interculturalidade para suas aulas, muitas são as dificuldades quando se trata da atuação dentro de tal perspectiva. No entanto, apesar de todas as dificuldades observadas, quando momentos interculturais foram construídos, os benefícios foram claramente notados: os alunos foram envolvidos nas discussões, instigados a participar mais, puderam associar o que estava sendo ensinado com suas realidades fora da escola, e de fato, essa experiência os encorajou a compreender a aula de inglês, não somente como um espaço de transmissão de informações sobre a língua ou os costumes de diferentes povos, mas como um contexto de reflexão, onde eles poderiam se tornar mais críticos como estudantes e cidadãos do mundo.

Full textThis study explores how fifty primary school teachers in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa understand the concept diversity and how they indicate that they manage diversity in their classrooms. The study locates the discussion on diversity and classroom practice within the context of socio-political change in South Africa. Classrooms in South Africa today encompass an array of races, languages, traditions, belief systems and religions. This reflects a shift from the apartheid past where leamer populations were more homogenous. With this shift in leamer demography, teachers face multiple and complex issues that may challenge many of their educational practices and assumptions. The key theoretical concepts underpinning this study were those of critical pedagogy and critical multiculturalism. These concepts were deemed appropriate because of the location of the study within a framework of social justice. Qualitative research was employed in the collection of the data. Teachers' understanding of diversity and their accounts of how they manage diversity were explored through questionnaires, interviews and a focus group discussion. The study showed that diversity was understood by the teachers in the study as an all-encompassing concept underscored by notions of social justice, multiculturalism and leaming styles. The study drew attention to the interconnectedness of race, socio-economic factors, language, religion, learning styles and resources as the main issues that teachers confront in the classrooms. These issues are common across the former racially-based departments of education; however different social conditions led to different issues being prioritized by the teachers. Teachers acknowledged the importance and need to incorporate diversity issues into their learning areas and daily classroom practice to improve the life chances of learners. They indicated that, despite policy changes supporting diversity education, they had not been formally prepared for their new roles. On the whole, they managed diversity through multiculturalism, social activities, assimilation and a caring approach.

Full textIncreasing diversity in education necessitates the incorporation of diversity-related curricula to assure student learning and development. Responding to the diverse needs of students improves learning and development for all students, which in turn fosters inclusive environments in education. Avoidance of conflicts sparked by differences encountered in diverse classrooms may prevent the incorporation of diversity-related curricula. The literature suggests that the predominance of conflict-avoidance among educational professionals may be related to previous exposure to diversity-related issues and content in their educational training. However, empirical evidence of conflict-avoidance among educational professionals in response to this type of exposure has yet to be established. This study surveys students enrolled in a diversity-related education course in an effort to estimate the effects of diversity-related training on conflict-avoidant behaviors.

Full textAdult education is a reciprocal relationship between adult learners and adult education practitioners. As such, it is essential to understand the experiences of adult educators and adult education practitioners as they teach adults. This study focuses on how ideas about race and racism are examined in the graduate-level classroom and the adult learners’ experience as they focus on subject matter that challenges their assumptions and forces them to create new understandings about race. This study examines, through the portraiture methodology, the experiences of a White researcher and the adult learners engaging in dialogues about race in a CRT course.
The findings of this study include an examination of my role as a White researcher engaging in dialogues in this CRT course, including an inquiry into my silences, trepidation, and feelings of helplessness during the classroom interactions. I also examine the ways in which the adult learners who participated in this course communicated their ideas to their peers as well as the understandings and misunderstandings of the themes presented in the course.

Full textThis qualitative study was exploratory in nature. The goals were to examine: (a) if and how bilingual early care and education (ECE) teachers perceived their personal second- language learning experiences to have informed their practices in the classroom, and (b) to explore the teachers' experiences working in classrooms with children who spoke multiple home languages. The following research questions were addressed: (1) What are bilingual ECE teachers' teaching practices with children who are dual language learners (DLL)? (2) In what ways do bilingual ECE teachers' second language learning experiences influence their teaching practices with DLL children? The nine female ECE teachers participating in this study were bi- or multilingual, had completed a college-level degree, and had at least 3 years of experience working in ECE. Data sources included a Participant Demographic Questionnaire, two observations, an interview, a reflection activity, and follow-up letters. Results identified the use of several best practices for working with DLLs, and classroom practice was found to be empathetic, inclusive, and encouraging of children to maintain their home language. Overarching findings showed the importance teachers placed on providing a seamless experience for DLL children, the need for additional training specific to teaching DLL children, and the importance of preparing DLL children for future success. Research, practice, and policy implications are: (a) draw on bilingual teachers and their personal experiences and practical knowledge, (b) implement policy changes at the state level that would create a new certification, and (c) address the content of higher education degrees and ECE training.
