Developing, Modelling and Assessing Second Languages

Autore: Jörg-u. Keßler , Anke Lenzing , Mathias Liebner

Numero di pagine: 264

This edited volume brings together the work of a number of researchers working in the framework of Processability Theory (PT), a psycholinguistic theory of second language acquisition (SLA) (Pienemann 1998; 2005). The aim of the volume is two-fold: It engages with current issues in both theory development and theory application and focuses on theoretical developments within the framework of PT as well as issues related to second language teaching and assessment. In coordinating approaches to addressing both theoretical and applied aspects of SLA, this volume aims at bridging the gap between theory and practice. It also reflects the richness of debate within the field of PT-based research. The volume is intended for postgraduate students, SLA researchers as well as language teachers. As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.

Education in Languages of Lesser Power

Autore: Craig Alan Volker , Fred E. Anderson

Numero di pagine: 317

The cultural diversity of the Asia-Pacific region is reflected in a multitude of linguistic ecologies of languages of lesser power, i.e., of indigenous and immigrant languages whose speakers lack collective linguistic power, especially in education. This volume looks at a representative sampling of such communities. Some receive strong government support, while others receive none. For some indigenous languages, the same government schools that once tried to stamp out indigenous languages are now the vehicles of language revival. As the various chapters in this book show, some parents strongly support the use of languages other than the national language in education, while others are actively against it, and perhaps a majority have ambivalent feelings. The overall meta-theme that emerges from the collection is the need to view the teaching and learning of these languages in relation to the different needs of the speakers within a sociolinguistics of mobility.

Studies on the Teaching of Asian Languages in the 21st Century

Autore: Hüseyin İçen , Seniye Vural

Numero di pagine: 177

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for, and rapid development in, the learning and teaching of Asian languages as a foreign language throughout the world. Many governments recognize that Asian languages are of strategic economic importance, and thus they are now offered as a foreign language by a great number of schools and higher education institutions. This book contains chapters written by different authors from several countries on key issues and problems in the teaching of the Chinese, Russian, Farsi, Japanese and Malaysian languages, and some comparative studies. The contributors here explore future directions in the teaching of Asian languages in the 21st century. The ten chapters of the book have been prepared by the authors using the scholarly papers they presented at the Second International Symposium on Asian Languages and Literatures (ADES), which was held on 3–4 May 2012 at Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey, under the title of “Teaching of Asian Languages in the 21st Century”.

The Acquisition of Syntax in Romance Languages

Autore: Vincent Torrens , Linda Escobar

Numero di pagine: 436

This volume includes a selection of papers that address a wide range of acquisition phenomena from different Romance languages and all share a common theoretical approach based on the Principles and Parameters theory. They favour, discuss and sometimes challenge traditional explanations of first and second language acquisition in terms of maturation of general principles universal to all languages. They all depart from the view that language acquisition can be explained in terms of learning language specific rules, constraints or structures. The different parts into which this volume is organized reflect different approaches that current research has offered, which deal with issues of development of reflexive pronouns, determiners, clitics, verbs, auxiliaries, Inflection, wh-movement, rssumptive pronouns, topic and focus, mood, the syntax/discourse interface, topic and focus, and null arguments.

Language Teaching

Autore: Robert Lado

Numero di pagine: 274

"Here is a clear discussion of the theory and application of structural linguistics for the teacher of foreign languages and of English as a foreign language. This is the first book to incorporate a modern theory of second language learning, a scientifically directed set of principles and techniques for the teaching of a foreign language, and a description and a discussion of the use of such technological aids as the language laboratory, visual aids, teaching machines, and programmed learning. The author, a linguistic authority and acknowledged specialist in classroom methods and procedures, combines the three main streams of progress in language teaching; the contribution of linguistics, the advances in learning theory, and the development of tape recorders and language laboratories. The result is a major contribution to language teaching."--Publisher.
