Повний текст джерелаSince economic reform started in China in 1978, the educational objectives for English language teaching have undergone many changes. In secondary school, reading and writing abilities have become increasingly important, not only in assisting students to study and work in English language contexts, but also in setting up the foundation for further English learning at university level. Thus, new materials have been devised and new teaching methods have been used. However, in practice, the English reading skills of many learners do not seem to have improved and learners have difficulty in achieving the syllabus goals set for reading. This study investigated the factors which influence the development of reading skills by learners in one Grade 10 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) class in Taiyuan, a city in China.

Повний текст джерелаThis research used diary studies and interviews with five Japanese learners of English to investigate the different affective, cognitive and social factors that affected their learning of English in Cape Town between 2004 and 2005. The findings of this study corroborate arguments put forward by Gardner that factors such as learning goals, learning strategy, attitude, motivation, anxiety, self-confidence and cultural beliefs about communication affect the acquisition of a second language and correlate with one another.

Повний текст джерелаLanguage diversity continues to create a language barrier to international tourism. Tourists from non-English speaking countries face a language barrier in South Africa and this affects their experiences in the country. Measuring and understanding something of this challenge is the purpose of this study. The focus is on how the tourism industry in Cape Town uses languages to sell and promote the city internationally. The study investigates procedures, strategies, and policies adopted by the tourism industry in Cape Town to cater for tourists from across the world. In addition, the study also investigates how tourists from non-English speaking countries adapt linguistically to cope with their stay in Cape Town. The study targeted both tourism organisations and international tourists who use tourist facilities in most popular tourist areas in Cape Town. Both primary and secondary data were collected. Convenience sampling was used to select both tourism service providers and tourists. To enhance validity, reliability, and accuracy, various tools have been deployed to collect the data. Primary data were collected from both tourism service providers and international tourists using questionnaires, interviews, photographs and observations. Secondary data collection involved observations of public signage as well as analysis of electronic and printed promotional materials such as brochures, guidebooks, menus, newspapers and websites. Collected data were captured in spread sheets to enable descriptive analysis of tourists&rsquo
languages and of language use in tourism organisations in different of forms of niche tourism in Cape Town. Survey results reveal that a little more than half of all surveyed tourism organisations in Cape Town sell and promote their products using only South African languages including English whilst a minority sell and promote their products using English coupled with foreign languages. The majority of multilingual staff in those surveyed tourism organisations who have adopted multilingualism are working part-time or employed temporarily. In addition, results also indicate that English dominates other languages in public signs and printed and electronic promotional publications used by surveyed tourism organisations in Cape Town. Foreign languages are used most in tour operations and travel agencies sector whilst South African languages dominate in accommodation and restaurants sectors. On the other hand the research shows that a big proportion of foreign tourists in Cape Town were able to speak English and other foreign languages. The research shows that the majority of tourists from non-English speaking countries are more interested in learning foreign languages compared with their counterparts from English speaking countries. Only less than a quarter of all surveyed tourists from non-English speaking countries in Cape Town are monolingual in their home languages. These tourists struggle to communicate with service providers in Cape Town. Translators and gestures were used by non-English speaking tourists as a way of breaking down communication barriers in Cape Town. Contrarily, a big proportion (two thirds) of all surveyed tourists from English speaking countries in Cape Town does speak only English. Foreign tourists in Cape Town speak tourism service providers&rsquo
language rather than tourism service providers speaking tourists&rsquo
languages. The majority of tourism service providers in Cape Town are reluctant to learn foreign languages and to employ multilingual staff. This means that most tourism organisations sell and market their product in English only. Other South African languages such as Afrikaans and Xhosa are used frequently in informal communication in the tourism industry in Cape Town. Seemingly, Afrikaans dominates Xhosa in all forms of tourism except in township tourism where the majority of service providers are Xhosa-speakers. To market and promote Cape Town internationally, the tourism industry in Cape Town should employ multilingual staff who can communicate in tourists&rsquo
native languages. Multilingualism should be practised in all tourism sectors rather than in one or few sectors because all tourism sectors compliment each other in meeting customer&rsquo
s satisfaction. Failure in one tourism sector may affect other tourism sectors&rsquo
performance.

Este estudo se desenvolveu como o objetivo principal de investigar, no discurso, o agir do professor de portuguÃs lÃngua estrangeira (PLE). Neste sentido, com base no agir linguageiro emergente em entrevistas e eminstruÃÃes ao sÃsia,realizadas com os docentes participantes da pesquisa, 1) analisamos os ingredientes que compÃem o agir do professor de PLE; 2) investigamos as representaÃÃes que o professor tem de seu trabalho, de seu papel, de seus objetivos e dos variados aspectos que caracterizam o contexto em que atua; e 3) examinamos em que medida a aÃÃo de refletir sobre o prÃprio agir motiva no professor de PLE uma tomada de consciÃncia na perspectiva da profissionalizaÃÃo. Tomamos o quadro teÃricometodolÃgico do InteracionismoSociodiscursivo (BRONCKART 1999, 2004, 2008), em diÃlogo com os pressupostos teÃricos das CiÃncias do Trabalho, notadamente da Ergonomia da Atividade (AMIGUES, 2004; CLOT, 1999; LACOSTE, 1998), como referÃncia para a anÃlise dos dados. Em termos de categorias analÃticas, privilegiamos o conteÃdo temÃtico, os tipos de discurso, as vozes e modalizaÃÃes, bem como as figuras de aÃÃo (BULEA, 2010). O resultado da anÃlise revelou que os ingredientes do agir do professor de PLE se situam especialmente, no plano do agir-referente, no que concerne a seus determinantes externos, e no plano do trabalho em geral, no que se refere à organizaÃÃo do trabalho. TambÃm verificamos que as representaÃÃes construÃdas pelo docente ancoram-se, sobretudo, nascondiÃÃes de trabalho, donde se destaca a complexidade atribuÃda ao contexto de aÃÃo inequivocamente intercultural. Por fim, observamos que a aÃÃo interpretativa do agir, construÃda com fundamento nas figuras de aÃÃo, à capaz de mobilizar no professor a tomada de consciÃncia no tocante à prÃpria profissÃo.
The present study was developed with the main objective of investigating teachers of Portuguese as a foreign language (PFL), and what they say about their work. Based on the language acting present in interviews and in instructions to the double, accomplished by the instructors who took part in this research, we 1) analyzed the elements that compose the acting of PFL teachers; 2) investigated the representations that teachers have about their work, role, goals, and about the various aspects that characterize the context in which they act; 3) examined how the action of reflecting about their own acting raises in PFL teachers an awareness of a professionalization perspective. As references for data analysis, we used the theoretical-methodological framework of Sociodiscursive Interactionism (BRONCKART, 1999, 2004, 2008), together with theoretical assumptions of Work Sciences, mainly Activity Ergonomics (AMIGUES, 2004; CLOT, 1999; LACOSTE, 1998). In terms of analytical categories, we privileged thematic content, discourse types, voices and modalizations, as well as action figures (BULEA, 2010). The results of theanalysis suggested that the elements of PFL teachers acting are specially situated in the acting-referent plan, regarding its external determiners, and in the work plan in general, concerning work organization. We also verified that the representations constructed by the instructors are based mainly on the scope of work conditions, where we can stress the complexity ascribed to the action context, which is unmistakably intercultural. Finally, we observed that the interpretative action, grounded on action figures, is capable of mobilizing in teachers an awareness that concerns their own profession.

Повний текст джерелаThis study uses an interdisciplinary approach in the analytical framework combining Systemic Functional Linguuistic theoty (SFL) (Martin 1992
Halliday 19994) and critical discourse analysis (CDA) (Wodak 7 meyer 2001
Fairclough 1989, 1993, 1995, 2001). Further, the study draws on christie's (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005) work on classroom discourse analysis, which in turn builds on Bernstein's (1990, 1996, 2000) model on pedagogic practice and interaction, to examine dominanceand power relationsin the classroom. The interdisciplinary approach enabled this study to evaluate Al-Thadi university students' English language competence, linguistically and textually.

Повний текст джерелаThis study has been prompted by the negative remarks that lecturers make concerning the academic performance of students and the number of years they spend at the Eastern Cape Technikon before completing their diplomas. The aim of this study was to identify the kinds of strategies that English Second Language (ESL) students use to cope with English language writing tasks.
Academic writing requires a conscious effort and much practice in composing, developing, and analyzing ideas. Black students at tertiary institutions in South Africa face additional difficulty, especially when they have to deal with writing in English which is an unfamiliar language to them. This presents them with social and cognitive challenges related to second language acquisition. Since the black students do not often consider the social contexts in which L2 academic writing takes place, models of L1 writing instruction and research on composing processes are often found wanting in their L2 writing pedagogy. In this study, I argue that language proficiency and competence is the cornerstone of the ability to write in the L2 in a fundamental way. L2 writing instructors should take into account both strategy development and language skill development when working with black students. This is critical in South Africa considering the apartheid legacy and the deprived social conditions under which black students often live and acquire their education. Therefore, using critical discourse analysis and aspects of systemic functional linguistics, this study explores errors in written cohesion and coherence in relation to L2 writing strategies used by black students at the Eastern Cape Technikon. The study focuses on errors in the form of cohesive devices of referring expressions using topic development used by students. The aim was to explore the strategies used by black students to write coherent academic texts. Further, the study intends to scrutinize the grammatical devices of reference, through analyzing the forms of cohesive devices and theme development. A focus on the writing process as a pedagogical tool enables me to explore the relationship between the quality of studentsâ academic writing and coping strategies used, and come up with a model of L2 writing (coping) strategies for academic writing at the Eastern Cape Technikon. I investigate the L2 writing process adopted by competent and non-competent black students in the process of producing coherent academic texts by comparing strategies that the two groups of students adopt.

Повний текст джерелаChinese language is the only ideographic language remaining in the world (Osaka, 1976). It conveys affluent Chinese culture and has great influences on the East Asian countries (Miyake, 2013). In the economic globalization of the world, China’s economy and international influence are expanding. For these reasons and many more the Chinese language is widely accepted as one of the major world languages. It makes sense then Chinese language classes are experiencing popularity and growth with United States undergraduates. Despite this growth, however, the enrollment of African American students is constantly low in college Chinese language classrooms (Li, Wen, & Xie, 2014). This call to action argues that this low representation of African American students lies on a course promotion system that denies African American students a preliminary learning opportunity that systematically limits their representation in Chinese language classrooms from the beginning.
This call for action examines systematic avenues for creating early opportunities. First the study explores the utility of offering African American students an informational workshop introducing the features of the language and the potential benefits of learning it. Next the study examines the leverage that could be gained by providing direct feedback and assessing student interest to explore whether students are more inclined to enroll in Chinese language courses following the information workshop. Such a process could lead to suggested policy changes that might close the enrollment gap between the African American students and their peers. This call for action considers the reality that even a well-designed action plan may not always produce positive consequences. Therefore, an impact evaluation is explored along with suggested instruments and uses. Finally possible outcomes of an impact evaluation are described.
To ground this call for action, a set of foundational theories are employed that mainly include networked improvement communities, leadership and teamwork, and critical theories. The call for action strongly suggests the iterative cycle of Plan, Design, Study, and Act (PDSA) of the NIC improvement science (Bryk, Gomez, & Grunow, 2011) in the change process beginning with the examination of a local four-year university Chinese Studies Program.
Zielonka, Bronisława. "The Role of Linguistic Context in the Acquisition of the Pluperfect : Polish Learners of Swedish as a Foreign Language." Doctoral thesis, Stockholm University, Department of Scandinavian Languages, 2005. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-532.
Повний текст джерелаThis work consists of two parts: the theoretical and the experimental. In the theoretical part, some general and some language specific theories of tense, aspect and aktionsart are presented, and the temporal systems of Swedish and Polish are compared.
The theoretical part is not a mere review of the literature on the subject. The comparison of the descriptions of aspect and aktionsart by Slavic researchers with the universal theory of Smith (1991) and (1977) and with description of aktionsart in Swedish in Teleman et al. (1999) has allowed me for some important observations as to the nature of the long-lasting dispute about the differences between aspect and aktionsart.
The experimental part is a cross-sectional study on the role of the linguistic context on the acquisition of the pluperfect by Polish learners Swedish as a foreign language. The informants are university students studying Swedish as a foreign language. The language samples were collected by means of two types of tests: gap-filling and translation from Polish.
Twelve linguistic factors, each divided into two subgroups, were hypothesised to have affected the correct use of the pluperfect. All those hypotheses as to which of the subgroups may inhibit and which may facilitate the correct use of the pluperfect are grounded in linguistic theories, i.e. presented in the form of linguistically-based discussions as to what kind of effect, facilitative or inhibiting, each of the linguistic factors may have had, and why.
The effect of those factors upon the correct use of the pluperfect has been tested by means of a step-wise multiple regression which measured the simultaneous effect of each factor upon the correct use of the pluperfect. This method has confirmed the facilitative effect of the following six linguistic factors: intrasentential indication of topic time (subordinate clause), unbounded verb indicating topic time, agentive meaning of the target verb, specifying subordinate clause, statal pluperfect and location of the time of action of pluperfect clause outside the temporal frame of narrative plot.

Tendo por base um curso livre de línguas estrangeiras que opera sob o sistema de franquias, este estudo tem o objetivo de caracterizar o trabalho prescrito aos professores dessa instituição, principalmente no que se refere ao chamado “treinamento”. Os alicerces teóricos para a realização desta pesquisa encontram-se, fundamentalmente, nos estudos desenvolvidos dentro do quadro do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD), postulado por Bronckart (1999, 2006, 2008, 2009) e colegas. Eleger o ISD como base teórico-metodológica se deu pela vontade de abordar o trabalho prescrito aos professores a partir do viés do ensino enquanto trabalho, ou seja, pela necessidade de ir além das pesquisas sobre a sala de aula desenvolvidas no campo da didática das línguas. É no quadro do ISD também que encontramos a coerência metodológica para o tratamento dos dados. Os dados gerados também fizeram emergir a necessidade de lançarmos nosso olhar para os aportes vindos da área de Ensino e Aprendizagem de Língua Estrangeira, buscando compreender o métier pesquisado. A geração dos dados foi realizada dentro do contexto da rede de escolas do curso livre, do qual foram identificadas as fontes prescritivas. Identificado o chamado treinamento como a principal delas, buscamos conhecê-lo através de entrevista com o diretor pedagógico, responsável por “treinar” os professores. A análise dos dados foi realizada com base nos resultados obtidos por Bronckart e amplamente discutidos e ampliados por integrantes do grupo do ISD (BRONCKART, 2008; BRONCKART e MACHADO, 2004; ABREU-TARDELLI, 2006; GUIMARÃES, 2007). Elementos linguísticos emergentes dos dados apoiaram nossa análise, que, além de conhecer o treinamento, procurou perceber de que forma essas prescrições são veiculadas e o papel atribuído aos professores no contexto investigado. Os resultados reiteram a complexidade do trabalho docente. Revelam ainda a posição do diretor pedagógico em relação às prescrições formuladas por ele mesmo e permitem verificar como ele representa o agir docente. Tais elementos deixam pistas das implicações dessa tessitura prescritiva no trabalho real dos docentes do curso em questão.
Based on a free course of foreign languages which is part of a franchising system, this study aims at characterizing the work which is assigned to the teachers of this course, mainly concerned to the “teacher training”. The theoretical bases for this investigation are found, principally, in the studies developed in the framework of the Socio-discursive Interactionism (ISD) as presented by Bronckart (1999, 2006, 2008). The choice of the Socio-discursive Interactionism as the theoretical-methodological framework was made due to the wish of studying the work which is assigned to the teachers taking into account that teaching is also a job. By this we mean the necessity of going beyond the researches about teaching which are developed in the area of language didactics. It is in the ISD framework also that we find the coherence to deal with the data. From this data, however, the necessity of looking at another framework emerged. These are the studies accomplished in the field of teaching and learning a foreign language, which we sought in order to understand the métier. The data was conceived within the context of free course of foreign languages, in which the origins of the assigned work were found. Once the “teacher training” was identified as the principal of them, we sought to understand it through the interview with the pedagogic director, responsible for “training” the teachers. The analysis of the data was done based on the results obtained by Bronckart and widely discussed and expanded by members of ISD group (BRONCKART, 2008; BRONCKART e MACHADO, 2004; ABREU-TARDELLI, 2006; GUIMARÃES, 2007). Linguistic elements found in the data supported our analysis, which, beyond characterizing the teacher training, tried to realize the way this assigned work is conveyed and the role given to the teachers in the context investigated. The results reaffirm the complexity of the educational work. They also reveal the position of the pedagogic director concerning the work which he himself assigns to the teachers and turn visible the way the director represents the teaching acting. Such elements indicate the implications of this assigned texture in the real work of the teachers of the course investigated.

Повний текст джерелаThis transdisciplinary research is at the intersection of language teaching, intercultural studies, linguistics and information and communication technologies for education. Drawing on theories around community of practice, strategies for interactive writing , intercultural awareness, and bilingual communication, this thesis attempts to demonstrate how a learning community develops, what are the intercultural and bilingual practices used by the members of the community to co-construct knowledge in a context of webcollaboration.For this experiment, we chose a class e-twinning with a group of students learning Chinese in France and a group of students learning French in China. The pedagogical framework was based on an action-based scenario and a collaborative project. We designed for this purpose an exchange platform including a blog and a forum where participants could interact. The analysis of our corpus was both quantitative and qualitative. Our purpose was to describe the emergence of a learning community, the different levels of intercultural awareness, as well as the bi-multilingual practices and reflections

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this study is to outline students’ attitudes towards ICT in the learning of English. The research was carried out as action research at a vocational high school in Sweden. The study aims at giving answers to the questions what the students’ attitudes towards ICT are, to what extent they think that ICT affects their learning and if ICT use changes their attitudes towards English. The students had little or no previous experience of ICT. For a period of two months, they used ICT in their English studies. This work was organized according to Svensson’s (2008) definitions ICT as a tutor, ICT as a tool and ICT as an arena, which are connected to behavioristic, cognitive/constructive and social constructivist/socio-cultural learning perspectives, respectively. For example, the students read and listened to texts online, wrote their own dialogues for a movie and maintained their own blogs. After each module, they evaluated the method and at the end of the project they were interviewed. The study shows that most of the students were positive towards ICT in learning English. They were most positive towards ICT as a tutor, which was interesting given that behavioristic ways of learning are often criticized by today’s scholars. Furthermore, the students claimed that ICT gives them new opportunities to learn. Not surprisingly, to learn in a way that suits the individual learner was seen as positive. They stated that it was difficult to comment on the impact that ICT might have had on their performance after such a limited period of time, but they indicated that they thought that they had improved at least a little. During the interviews, a few students claimed to have changed their attitudes towards English a little, in a positive way, but it was difficult to confirm this after such short time.

Повний текст джерелаThis study explores the contribution that the learners and the teacher made to curriculum development in a process approach to English as a second language for adults. The research was carried out with a group of workers attending a basic English course in an adult education programme on the East Rand. This study covers the entire sixteen month period from 1986 to 1987, and was carried out by the teacher-as-researcher. The research methodology was a form of illuminative evaluation, using syllabus accounts. These accounts provided a record of what took place in the classroom and were organised into three main themes. Subsequent analysis of the accounts focussed on learner and teacher roles in determining the learning experiences generated in the classroom. These findings were then re-examined in the light of the literature on process approaches. Conclusions were drawn about these roles and the implications for teacher development and learner training. Subsequently these conclusions were presented as illuminative data to reflect upon the curriculum framework underlying process approaches. The conclusions drawn in this study challenge the assumption that learners and the teacher jointly and equally negotiate learning in a process approach. Instead they suggest that the teacher is very much in control as the overall manager of curriculum development, and that learners are secondary agents in this endeavour. The roles of both parties are also more complex and more interlinked than the literature implies. Following this, conclusions were drawn about the roles that learners and the teacher played in curriculum development in this study. The research went on to examine the broader implications of these findings, by assessing the feasibility of a process approach for large-scale adult basic education work in South Africa. From this assessment, a new 'hybrid' approach was proposed which retains important features of a process approach while modifying it to make it more accessible and appropriate for South Africa's needs. Finally, the study identified future research directions.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa partiu da nossa observação que muitos aprendizes apresentam fluência, mas não precisão lingüística, em seu desempenho em contexto de aula comunicativo de inglês de nível intermediário como LE. Uma alternativa encontrada na literatura de ASL para promover a precisão lingüística é o uso de tarefas que promovam o esforço cognitivo de produzir e refletir sobre a produção, estendendo e indo além do nível de competência real do aprendiz, ou seja, uma produção mais exigente (pushed output) (Swain, 1985, 1995). A reflexão sobre a produção (output) pode estimular o aprendiz a perceber (notice) formas lingüísticas e fazer uma comparação cognitiva entre as formas de sua interlíngua e as formas de L2/LE (notice the gap), o que pode facilitar a re-estruturação de interlíngua. Nosso objetivo nesta pesquisa é investigar a tarefa dictogloss pelo seu potencial em promover uma produção mais exigente. Para tal levamos em conta aspectos cognitivos e interacionais. Sob a perspectiva cognitiva, nos apoiamos nos estudos sobre tarefas de Skehan (1996, 1998), o modelo de processamento de insumo de VanPatten (1996, 2002), a Hipótese da Produção de Swain (1985) e as diferenças individuais segundo Robinson (2002, 2005). Sob a perspectiva sócio-cultural, levamos em conta o construto do diálogo colaborativo de Swain (2000) e os padrões de interação de Storch (2002). Os instrumentos de pesquisa foram um mini-questionário, uma tarefa dictogloss, cujos procedimentos foram adaptados de Wajnryb (1990), e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os sujeitos. Cinco pares de alunos universitários do nível intermediário de um centro de línguas de uma universidade pública paulista fizeram parte da pesquisa. Sem a intervenção da pesquisadora, as duplas reconstruíram uma passagem escutada por três vezes. Após a reconstrução em pares, os sujeitos receberam o texto por escrito e compararam as suas versões com a do original. Todas a interações foram gravadas em áudio. Dentre os aspectos cognitivos, os resultados das análises apontam para a complexidade da tarefa implementada em termos do código lingüístico, processamento cognitivo e o stress comunicativo. Observa-se que alguns pares abordaram a tarefa focando mais no significado eoutros na forma, sugerindo um efeito trade-off nos recursos de atenção. Nota-se grandes diferenças individuais entre os sujeitos, entre elas o nível de proficiência e habilidades cognitivas dos sujeitos, tais como a aptidão para notice the gap. Dentre os aspectos interacionais, constatamos que o padrão colaborativo prevalece nas interações, mas que com o decorrer da tarefa, algumas interações mudam para os padrões dominante/passivo, e outras para o padrão dominante/dominante, com alguns momentos de conflito. O diálogo colaborativo gerou construção de conhecimento nos padrões colaborativos mas demonstrou seus limites em outros padrões de interação, como no menos experiente/menos experiente, não geralmente relatado na literatura. Os depoimentos dos sujeitos sugerem que esses perceberam a complexidade da tarefa, mas que a consideram de potencial utilidade para a aprendizagem. Além disso, relataram que o trabalho em pares foi positivo
Abstract: In our teaching practice and within a communicative-oriented instruction of intermediate levelleamers of English as a foreign language, we have noticed that many leamers become fluent but lack accuracy. It has been suggested in SLA that in order to promote accuracy certain kinds of tasks can be used: those that encourage pushed output, defined as the cognitive effort to produce and reflect on production, stretching and going beyond the actual competence of the leamer. This reflection on production may encourage the leamer to notice linguistic form and make cognitive comparisons between their interlanguage form and the L2 form, i.e., notice the gap, which may encourage the restructuring of the interlanguage. Bearing this in mind, this research was designed to investigate cognitive and interactional factors involved in the implementation of the pedagogical task known as dictogloss. Five dyads of college students attending an intermediate leveI course in a language center in a state university in the state of São Paulo in Brazil took part of the experiment. The interaction of the dyads was audiotaped as they carried out the task. It required them to listen, take notes, and produce a written reproduction of the oral text with their partners. After that they received a copy of the written text, and went on to compare and notice differences between their versions and the original. From a cognitive perspective, the theoretical background comes from task-based research of Skehan (1996, 1998), the modeI of input processing of VanPatten (1996, 2002), the Output Hypothesis of Swain (1985, 1995) as well as the investigation of individual differences of Robinson (2002, 2005). From a socio-cultural perspective, the theoretical background comes from the collaborative dialogue proposed by Swain (2000) and the interaction pattems by Storch (2001, 2002). From a cognitive perspective, the findings suggest that the high complexity of the task produced a trade-off effect in attentional resources: attention was either allocated to the meaning or to the formoThe oral comprehension and production and the written comprehension and production revealed individual differences in the subjects' cognitive abilities, such as noticing the gap. From a socio-cultural perspective, the collaborative pattem of interaction prevails, but over time, some of the pairs changed to other pattems such as dominant/passive and dominant/dominant, indicating some conflict in their interactions. The collaborative dialogue shows the co-construction of knowledge, but this does not take place in all interaction pattems, such as novice/novice, which is rarely discussed in the literature. In follow-up interviews, the subjects reported that they found the task complex but useful and that working with a partner helped them perform the task

Повний текст джерелаAbstract
The aim of this study is to investigate some uses of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a pedagogical aid for supporting students with difficulties in reaching the curricular goals in the school subject English. Special focus is on students with reading and writing difficulties and on students with a foreign background in the ninth grade of the compulsory school and in upper secondary school. The method of investigation consisted of two parts: (a) interviews with eleven regular English teachers and with four remedial teachers about their experiences of using ICT as a pedagogical aid, and (b) an action study in which ICT-based activities were tested in a group of six students with difficulties in English. The results of the interviews showed that in the remedial classes ICT-based support was rather limited. The exceptions were students with severe reading and writing difficulties and other grave learning disabilities. These students were offered greater access to various technical aids and systematic support. For dyslexic students various ICT tools often proved to be an effective and indispensable support in their learning. In non-remedial English lessons, the use of ICT was somewhat greater. Here teachers used ICT as a pedagogical aid for the benefit of all students. The computer was considered to be a good support for project writing as it provided the students with a huge database, with online dictionaries and with a spell checker. The results of the action research showed that students were positive about communicating in English via ICT and they showed great interest in other activities facilitated by technology, such as training grammar, vocabulary, and reading. In conclusion, these surveys generated results similar to those of other studies, showing that although ICT can be an effective pedagogical aid in supporting students with difficulties learning English, it is not presently being used to its full potential.

Повний текст джерелаOnline-Sprachlernberatung (OSLB) ist eine Form der individuellen Begleitung von selbstgesteuertem Fremdsprachlernen im universitären Bereich. Dabei werden unterschiedliche digitale Beratungsformen (E-Mail, Internet-Telefon, Chats) und Beratungsinstrumente (z. B. Fragebögen, schriftliche Pläne und Lernertagebücher) eingesetzt, um den Lern- und Arbeitsprozess systematisch zwischen den Präsenz- oder Online-Sprachlernberatungstreffen zu begleiten. Die spezifischen Kommunikationsbedingungen in der OSLB bergen Potenziale, aber auch Herausforderungen, die sich vor allem aus der Synchronität bzw. Asynchronität und der Modalität (Mündlichkeit bzw. Schriftlichkeit) der Interaktion ergeben. Die Studie beschreibt und analysiert anhand von Einzelfallstudien diesen Beratungsansatz. Die Untersuchung stellt eine longitudinal angelegte Aktionsforschung mit evaluativen Elementen dar. Auf Grundlage von sieben Beratungsfällen, die unterschiedliche Profile des Einsatzes von OSLB aufweisen, wurden unterschiedliche Datensätze ausgewertet, die u. a. Beratungstranskripte, Abschlussinterviews mit den Lernenden und die Reflexionen der Beraterin mit einschlossen. Die Lernenden unterschieden sich in ihrer Bewertung der meisten einzelnen Formen und Instrumente, jedoch wurden beratungsvorbereitende E-Mails und schriftliche Zusammenfassungen nach den Sitzungen als hilfreich benannt. Die Analyse dreier paradigmatischer Einzelfälle illustriert verschiedene Szenarien der OSLB unter Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher Einstellungen, Motive und Arbeitsweisen im digitalen Kontext und belegt damit die Notwendigkeit einer individuellen Beratung, in der flexibel auf die Bedürfnisse der Lerner eingegangen werden kann. Als bedeutendste Potenziale der OSLB erwiesen sich die Möglichkeiten der Anregung zur Selbstreflexion und die Unterstützung der Motivation zum Lernen. Als Herausforderung stellte sich für die Lerner aufgrund inhaltlicher und fremdsprachlicher Anforderungen die Erstellung schriftlicher Texte dar. Für die Beraterin erschwerten technische Gegebenheiten die Durchführung nicht-direktiver Beratung

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation belongs to the field of foreign language didactics (French as a foreign language) and it focuses on the use of ICT in learning and teaching. Its objective is to define and analyse the collaborative strategies in interactive writing practiced by a virtual community of blogging students. The theoretical framework is mainly qualitative, based on the principles of action research and more specifically Research and Development. The data for empirical studies were collected through a digital learning environment – a Communitarian Blog, specifically constructed and enriched with different plug-ins. In this learning environment, students, aged 15-17, from Poland, Ukraine, Italy and the Czech Republic, stimulated by a learning scenario, developped written interactions for eight months. The study has demonstrated that the added extensions have facilitated the emergence of a new learning community. It has also shown how the added artefacts have been used, allowing for an extensive analysis of the strategies mobilised for writing and the characteristics of this interactive writing

Повний текст джерелаFrench as a Foreign Language (with the French acronym FLE) in Angola is first considered in its historical, socio-linguistic and pedagogic contexts. This thesis focuses on teaching methods with the objective of proposing a teaching strategy for FLE from level A1 to A2 and from B1 to B2. The aim is to assist those FLE teachers who find themselves in difficulty to improve their practice as well as to increase students’ mastery of FLE. The research centres on the specific problem which is the language difficulties of the poor results that students achieve in FLE, which is a cause for concern and has led to the following questions: to what extent the language difficulties of students would be linked to the difficulties of teachers who are poorly trained to teach French as a foreign language? Who are the teachers? What training have they received? How do they teach? Whom do they teach to? The answers to these questions have required the clarification of linguistic concepts and different aspects within linguistics. This study has adopted a comparative approach using video recordings of classes and interviews. We have described classroom activities with a focus on the exchange of knowledge and in particular on an analysis of the professional practice of teaching staff in our university institutions. Two types of analysis have thus been undertaken: linguistic and pedagogic. The results confirm the hypothesis that the approach adopted in teaching French as a Foreign Language allows the acquisition of linguistic and cultural knowledge appropriate to the Angolan context, overcomes difficulties faced by teachers and enables learners to take an active role in the own learning

This study investigates the effectiveness of visuals in the language classroom. Two types of visual aids commonly used in the language classroom, video and still pictures, are used to elicit narratives from L2 English speakers, and these narratives are subsequently compared. The data come from eleven international students from a university English Language Program, who voluntarily participated in two separate 15-minute interviews. In each interview session, they were shown either a series of pictures or a video, both depicting a story. Upon completion of the presentation of each visual, participants were asked a prompt question and their narration of the events portrayed in the visuals recorded. The narratives were transcribed and analyzed in order to test (1) if still pictures and video are equally effective in eliciting elaboration in the narratives, defined in this case, as the number of new referents introduced and the number of adjective and verb types produced; and (2) if exposure to still pictures and video elicit narrations of similar length. Both kinds of visuals stimulated learners to create narratives and elaborate on what had been shown in them. The video task elicited narratives roughly 10% longer than the picture task in regards to the raw number of words. When linguistic factors were compared, participants introduced new referents at comparable rates in both tasks while they employed 10% more verb types in the video task. Additionally, the series of still pictures prompted participants to employ a much higher number of adjective types. These observations suggest that a series of still pictures are an effective alternative for video for eliciting narratives. This study provides support for the use of still pictures as an equivalent to videos in situations where videos are less accessible in language classrooms (due to lack of technological access).
