Cet ouvrage met en relation une variété de langues, d'approches et de contextes éducatifs et sociaux. Il s'agit d'identifier les changements et les frictions de la mondialisation, entre paradigme monolingue et paradigme plurilingue sur ces dispositifs d'enseignement des langues et de construire une didactique plurilingue et pluriculturelle.
Après le Précis du Plurilinguisme et du Pluriculturalisme (2008), et en continuité avec les ouvrages Didactique plurilingue et pluriculturelle : l’acteur en contexte mondialisé (2012) et Dispositifs éducatifs en contexte mondialisé et didactique plurilingue et pluriculturelle (2014), le débat didactique se poursuit avec la déconstruction et la reconfiguration des catégories habituelles de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage des langues et des cultures. De nouvelles notions et des trames inédites ont émergé et se sont tissées. Ce nouvel ouvrage met en relation une réflexion didactique plurilingue et pluriculturelle dans un monde multilingue où se joue un processus de mondialisation multiforme. Par la variété des langues et des approches, en s’appuyant sur des contextes éducatifs et sociaux, l’ouvrage identifie les limites et les perspectives qu’offrent des dispositifs plurilingues et pluriculturels, de l’école à l’université. Il souligne également les tensions et les impacts de la mondialisation sur les contextes plurilingues et pluriculturels d’enseignement. Si les frictions de la mondialisation opposent le paradigme monolingue au paradigme plurilingue, une didactique plurilingue et pluriculturelle pose d’emblée comme principe épistémologique et heuristique la diversité, le multiple et le pluridimensionnel comme cadre d’analyse.
Cet ouvrage centre son attention sur la figure de l'acteur en contexte mondialisé, sous un angle large et éclaté, celui de l'apprenant de langue(s) dans et hors les murs d'un système d'enseignement, celui de l'étudiant international dans et hors les frontières, celui de l'enseignant créateur de dispositifs dans et hors de la classe, celui du concepteur de manuels et du traducteur, médiateurs au plus près des langues et des cultures mais surtout de leurs apprenants ou de leurs lecteurs.

Claire Kramsch and Lihua Zhang use an ecological approach and a complexity thought model to examine the identities, experiences, and practices of foreign language teachers as native or non-native speakers, multilingual instructors, and professional educators. What is their sense of legitimacy? How do they bridge the historical and cultural gaps between them and their students? What stories do they share in the classroom? Which do they not share? How do they view their ethical responsibility? Drawing on primary research with teachers at the college level in the US, the book explores some of the key issues related to teaching languages in an era of increasing global mobility, institutional control, and educational uncertainty. “In this landmark publication, Kramsch and Zhang show us the challenges facing the multilingual instructor and the importance of understanding their experiences in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning as transformative practices. The ecological framework provides a very useful model for future studies, while the attention to the ethical role of the multilingual instructor is a timely reminder to us all.” Li Wei, Chair of Applied Linguistics, UCL Institute of Education, University College London Claire Kramsch is Emerita Professor of German and Professor of the Graduate School of Education at University of California, Berkeley Lihua Zhang is Lecturer of Chinese and Chinese Language Program Coordinator at University of California, Berkeley Oxford Applied Linguistics Series Advisers: Anne Burns and Diane Larsen-Freeman
This book illustrates new virtual intercultural practices for language learning from primary to tertiary education and highlights the transversality of these practices throughout the language curriculum. The current English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) perspective sets the framework as a possible vector of cultural exchanges in a variety of contexts, and from which the different authors coming from Europe and all over the world present their studies. The book deploys diverse educational exchanges within a wide range of technological tools and with varied approaches to the intercultural dimension in language learning. Through these virtual exchanges, different languages and educational cultures come together to create emerging communities of practice co-constructed for the limited time-space of the collaborative projects. This volume opens a dialogue with researchers from different backgrounds and theoretical and methodological perspectives as technology can no longer be apprehended without its purposeful human and semiotic meanings and, conversely, human and semiotic meanings can no longer be apprehended without Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Going beyond strict polarised views on the technology or humanistic approaches, this book presents a more nuanced, interrelated stance and will appeal to researchers, scholars, post graduate students, and teachers in applied linguistics, language learning and teaching, education, information studies, cultural studies, and intercultural communication.
Despite being highly debated in applied linguistics and L2 teaching literature, the controversial issue of (non)nativeness still remains unresolved. Contemporary critical research has questioned the theoretical foundations of the nativeness paradigm, which still exerts a strong influence in the language teaching profession. Written by well-known researchers and teacher educators from all over the world, both NSs and NNSs, the selected contributions of this volume cover a great variety of aspects related to the professional role and status of both NS and NNS teachers in terms of both perceived differences and professional concerns and challenges. The strongest aspects of this volume are the global perspectives and the implications for future research and teacher education. It is precisely this international perspective which makes this volume illustrative of different realities with a similar objective in mind: the improvement of second language teaching and teacher education. In today's world, being a NS or NNS should not really matter but rather teachers' professional competences. This publication thus provides a forum of reflection and discussion for all L2 educators who need to be aware of how much they might offer to their future students.
Cet ouvrage regroupe les textes présentés lors du colloque international « Grandes » et « petites » langues et didactique du plurilinguisme et du pluriculturalisme. Modèles et expériences qui s'est tenu à Paris, en juillet 2006 dans les locaux de la Sorbonne, à l'initiative de l'Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (INALCO). Il s'agissait de mobiliser internationalement les acteurs concernés par une réflexion sur une didactique du plurilinguisme et du pluriculturalisme en construction en Europe. En se donnant pour objet d'identifier les modèles didactiques et leur circulation d'une langue à l'autre, ces travaux interrogent, chacun selon l'angle spécifique de son terrain, de son contexte ou des pratiques analysées, ce que le sens commun désigne par « grandes » et « petites » langues. Celles-ci sont appréhendées ici en tant que représentations sociales et catégorisations qui fluctuent au gré des histoires nationales, des renversements géopolitiques et des visions du monde traversées par les profondes mutations résultant de la mondialisation.
The European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages is a tool for reflection and self-assessment of the didactic knowledge and skills necessary to teach languages. It builds on insights from the Common European Framework of Reference and the European Language Portfolio as well as the European Profile for Language Teacher Education. Four years after its initial publication it has been translated into twelve European and Asian languages.To meet widespread demand this ECML publication provides materials which support its implementation in teacher education. The book entitled Using the European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages presents examples, discussions and research findings of how the EPOSTL is used in initial teacher education courses, in bi-lateral teacher education programs and in teaching practice. The accompanying folder and flyer feature, amongst other things, guidelines for strategic measures for introducing the EPOSTL in a particular institution.
Focuses on the social, political, economic, and psychological roots of terrorism. This work offers an examination that explores the dynamics of contemporary terrorism as well as the possibilities and limitations of peace processes undertaken by governments that try to end terrorist violence, tracing the rise and growth of various terrorist groups.
