Abstract

Le développement rapide et intense de l'apprentissage des langues étrangères et de leur enseignement, au plan européen comme au plan mondial, a instauré, depuis un demi-siècle, une activité d'investigation importante, illustrée par des recherches en didactique des langues et en acquisition des langues. De ce champ d'activité, de ses méthodes et de ses apports, Sebastian Piotrowski, docteur en Sciences du langage des Universités de Lublin et de Paris-X, et actuellement maître de conférences à l'Université Catholique de Lublin Jean-Paul II, présente un état actuel, étayé par une recherche empirique sur l'apprentissage du français par des élèves polonais. De cet ouvrage, intitulé "Apprentissage d'une langue et communication", le sous-titre "Négociations et stratégies en classe de langue étrangère" pose deux mots clés des relations entre apprentissage et enseignement, et en même temps des interrelations entre apprentissage et communication. L'ouvrage combine, en quatre chapitres, une réflexion approfondie sur les facteurs, les processus et les stratégies d'apprentissage d'une langue étrangère avec une recherche empirique menée dans des classes de français en Pologne. L'examen des concepts et des notions est menée avec une grande rigueur et alimenté par une remarquable documentation, allant d'une diversité de textes fondateurs aux publications les plus récentes. Ce qui sert d'appui, en bonne méthode, à la conception, au recueil et à l'analyse d'un corpus substantiel. Du double point de vue théorique et épistémologique, cet ouvrage est instructif et éclairant. Du point de vue méthodologique, la clarté de sa démarche et le traitement des résultats empiriques sont de nature à susciter et à informer nombre d'autres recherches.

Abstract

This volume presents six alternative approaches to studying second language acquisition -- 'alternative' in the sense that they contrast with and/or complement the cognitivism pervading the field. All six approaches -- sociocultural, complexity theory, conversation -- analytic, identity, language socialization, and sociocognitive -- are described according to the same set of six headings, allowing for direct comparison across approaches. Each chapter is authored by leading advocates for the approach described: James Lantolf for the sociocultural approach; Diane Larsen-Freeman for the complexity theory approach; Gabriele Kasper and Johannes Wagner for the conversation-analytic approach; Bonny Norton and Carolyn McKinney for the identity approach; Patricia Duff and Steven Talmy for the language socialization approach and Dwight Atkinson for the sociocognitive approach. Introductory and commentary chapters round out this volume. The editor's introduction describes the significance of alternative approaches to SLA studies given its strongly cognitivist orientation. Lourdes Ortega's commentary considers the six approaches from an 'enlightened traditional' perspective on SLA studies -- a viewpoint which is cognitivist in orientation but broad enough to give serious and balanced consideration to alternative approaches. This volume is essential reading in the field of second language acquisition. - Publisher.

Abstract

"Language is primarily a tool for communication, yet many textbooks still treat English grammar as simply a set of rules and facts to be memorised by rote. This new textbook is made for students who are frustrated with this approach and would like instead to understand grammar and how it works. Why are there two future tenses in English? What are auxiliaries and why are they so confusing? Why are English motion verbs hard to use? Why are determiners so important in English? These and many other frequently asked questions are answered in this handy guide. Student learning is supported with numerous exercises, chapter summaries and suggestions for further reading. An accompanying website offers further resources, including additional classroom exercises and a chance to interact with the author. It is the essential grammar toolkit for students of English language and linguistics and future teachers of English as a Second Language"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Developing the ability to speak in a foreign language is an arduous task. This is because it involves the mastery of different language subsystems, simultaneous focus on comprehension and production, and the impact of a range of social factors. This challenge is further compounded in situations in which learners have limited access to the target language. Thus, there is a need to explore issues related to teaching, learning and testing speaking with a view to translating the guidelines based on theoretical positions and research findings into feasible and context-specific pedagogical recommendations. This is the rationale behind this book, which considers speaking from leading theoretical perspectives, investigates individual variables which affect its development, and reports the results of studies focusing on different aspects of its instructed acquisition.

Abstract

"Infants and very young children develop almost miraculously the ability of speech, without apparent effort, without even being taught - as opposed to the teenager or the adult struggling without, it seems, ever being able to reach the same level of proficiency as five year olds in their first language. This useful textbook serves as a guide to different types of language acquisition: monolingual and bilingual first language development and child and adult second language acquisition. Unlike other books, it systematically compares first and second language acquisition, drawing on data from several languages. Research questions and findings from various subfields are helpfully summarized to show students how they are related and how they often complement each other. The essential guide to studying first and second language acquisition, it will be used on courses in linguistics, modern languages and developmental psychology"-- "This is an introduction to the study of the human Language Making Capacity. More accurately, it is a textbook presenting research questions and research results referring to specific manifestations of this capacity in monolingual and bilingual first language acquisition and child and adult second language acquisition. A more comprehensive treatment of this subject would have to address other aspects as well, for example, the genesis and change of languages, creolization and pidginization, language attrition and loss, impaired acquisition, and so forth"--

Abstract

Code Choice in the Language Classroom argues that the foreign language classroom is and should be regarded as a multilingual community of practice rather than as a perpetually deficient imitator of an exclusive second-language environment. From a sociocultural and ecological perspective, Levine guides the reader through a theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical treatment of the important roles of the first language, and of code-switching practices, in the language classroom. Intended for SLA researchers, language teachers, language program directors, and graduate students of foreign languages and literatures, the book develops a framework for thinking about all aspects of code choice in the language classroom and offers concrete proposals for designing and carrying out instruction in a multilingual classroom community of practice.
