Ces contributions consacrées aux discours scientifiques et aux mesures politiques en faveur de la pluralité des langues visent à remettre en cause le consensus en la matière. Elles donnent à réfléchir sur l'hégémonie de l'anglais, les biais idéologiques des études sociolinguistiques, le statut des langues régionales, l'éducation plurilingue ou encore la négation des inégalités face au bilinguisme. ©Electre 2016

This volume brings together the latest findings from research on multilingual language learning and use in multilingual communities. Suzanne Flynn, Håkan Ringbom and Larissa Aronin are some of the prestigious scholars who have contributed to this book. As argued by this last author in her chapter, although multilingualism has always existed, the important changes that research on this phenomenon has recently undergone, like that of adopting a multilingual perspective in its studies, should always be borne in mind. This volume considers the languages of multilingual communities, as well as the

SLA literature tends to focus predominantly on what motivates language learners, but what demotivates them has not been widely discussed. This book, focusing exclusively on demotivation, will help readers to understand motivational issues from a different perspective. The aims of the work are threefold: to present the current developments of demotivation research in the field of SLA and bridge motivational theory/research and demotivation research; to promote the understanding of possible causes of demotivation; and to expand the focus of demotivation research through a reflection on current motivation theory/research and a discussion of methodological issues.  The research presented in this book is situated in Japanese English-teaching contexts and will serve as a foundation for anyone wishing to better understand the causes of demotivation in SLA and to explore the topic in their own contexts.

A selection of Michael Swan's best known published articles on the theory and practice of teaching English as a foreign language. Each article in this collection begins with a short introduction by Michael Swan explaining the context in which he originally wrote it. Consequently, the articles not only address topics that remain highly relevant to language teachers today, but also provide a historical perspective on developments within the field. The collection ends with a small selection of his published satirical pieces. * Contains eighteen academic and pedagogical articles and seven satirical pieces. * Brings Michael Swan's best known and most widely cited articles together in a single book for the first time. This creates a unique and valuable resource both for people already familiar with these articles and for those discovering them through this collection. * Articles were all originally published in leading journals such as Applied Linguistics and the English Language Teaching Journal * All articles are published in their original form, but each one has an introduction by the author written specifically for this book, giving readers a historical and personal perspective on the topics discussed. * Suitable for a wide audience, including teacher trainers, practising and trainee teachers, as well as academics and researchers. What have been some of the most widely discussed themes and topics in the theory and practice of language teaching over the past thirty years? How much have things really changed during this period? This collection of articles by Michael Swan offers a uniquely personal view of trends and controversies within the teaching of English as a foreign language. They cover a wide range of topics, including: * the 'Communicative Approach' the drawbacks of 'one size fits all' solutions * the importance of prioritizing * the dangers of perfectionism * the importance of teaching at least some grammar * the need for various kinds of balance (between form and function, student-directed and teacher-directed work, knowledge and skills, process and product, etc.) These and other issues are discussed and analysed in a clear, vigorous style by an author who has never been afraid to challenge prevailing opinions and practice. The book ends with a small collection of published satirical pieces. These show the author's more playful side, while at the same time furthering his broader aim of challenging conventional wisdom.

Das Bewusstsein für die Relevanz von Fachsprachen nicht nur in der hochspezialisierten Arbeitswelt, sondern auch im Alltag hat sich deutlich verstärkt. Angesichts einer zunehmenden Ausdifferenzierung der Berufsperspektiven von AbsolventInnen romanistischer Studiengänge ist eine systematische Auseinandersetzung mit Formen und Funktionen fachsprachlicher Kommunikation in Geschichte und Gegenwart, wie dieser Band sie bietet,unumgänglich.
