DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents research on the situation minority language schoolchildren face when they need to learn languages of international communication, in particular English. The book takes minority languages as a starting point and it bridges local and global perspectives in the analysis of multilingual education contexts. It examines the interaction of minority languages and cultures, majority languages and lingua franca-s in a variety of settings across different regions and countries on all continents. Even though all chapters in this book involve minority languages, the issues discussed are relevant to any context in which more than language is used in education. The book reveals challenges and opportunities of multilingual education by discussing issues such as Northern and Southern concepts, language education policies, language diversity, interethnic understanding, multimodal language practices, power, conflict, identity and prestige, among many others. “This is the volume that finally accounts for multilingual education from a truly multilingual perspective by involving proposals and research from a variety of multilingual speech communities in the world. The (linguistically) rich Ethiopia and Mexico can teach the poor Europe and other Northern countries about multilingual education. CLIL promoters may learn from Finnish Sámi and Canadian Innu and Mi’gmaq indigenous communities as well as from Basque results. Speakers and teachers of minority and international languages will certainly be glad to hear the news. There is no need for a monolingual bias or tunnel vision in acquiring English in non-English speaking communities. This volume includes new challenging pedagogical perspectives while pointing to interesting conclusions for worldwide educational authorities”.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlurilingual communication is common practice in most urban areas. Societal domains such as business and science nowadays see themselves as international, and plurilingual communication is the rule rather than the exception. But how do other players in critical domains of modern societies, and more specifically, in education react to this situation? This volume of the Hamburg Studies in Linguistic Diversity (HSLD) series explores this question along three major lines. One group of contributions sheds light on educational policies in Europe and beyond. A second group of contributions elucidates what interaction and communication practices develop in multilingual contexts. The focus is on school settings. Thirdly, we present articles that discuss the effects of plurilingual settings and plurilingual practices on language development. As a whole this volume shows how linguistic diversity shapes a central domain of our societies, namely education, and how it also impacts upon the development of the individuals interacting in this domain.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCet ouvrage expose les travaux de recherche les plus récents sur le plurilinguisme présent dans notre société, en particulier le bilinguisme familial et scolaire. L'auteur explique la différence entre le développement du bilinguisme en famille et l'apprentissage des langues à l'école, aux niveaux français et européen. Au coeur de l'ouvrage, se trouve la question du "bilinguisme ignoré", ou minoritaire, des enfants issus de l'immigration, et ses conséquences en matière de lutte contre les problèmes de racisme.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume is a collection of research cases illustrating the interrelationships among education, dominance and identity in historical- and contemporary contexts. The cases reflect particular ways in which local-, group, and indigenous identities have been affected by a dominant discourse, how education can support or undermine identity, and how languages (including dominant and sub-dominant languages) and the language of instruction in schools are at the centre of challenges to hegemony and domination in many situations. Examining the issues in their research, the contributors reveal how members of minority-, disadvantaged-, or dominated groups (and the teachers and parents of children in their schools) struggle for recognition, for education in their own language, for acceptance within larger society, or for recognition of the validity of their responses to reform initiatives and policies that address a wider agenda but that fail to take into account key factors such as perceptions and subaltern status. Collectively, the chapters document research employing a variety of methodological approaches and theoretical perspectives, illustrating an array of universal and global issues in the field of comparative and international education. However, each of the cases its own unique character, as research findings and as personal reflections based on the authors’ experiential knowledge in particular social, cultural and political contexts. The contexts and regional settings include Chile, Canada, the United States, Hungary and elsewhere in East-Central Europe, France, Germany, Spain, Malaysia, Tanzania, South Africa, Cyprus, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMême lorsque la nécessité de posséder plusieurs langues s'impose, le bilinguisme reste méconnu et victime d'idées reçues : on croit à tort que les bilingues ont une maîtrise équivalente de leurs langues et sont des traducteurs-nés ; que, pour être bilingue, les langues doivent être acquises dans la prime enfance ; que toute personne bilingue est aussi biculturelle ; ou que le bilinguisme précoce chez l'enfant retarde l'acquisition du langage... Pour mieux comprendre la réalité de tant de personnes qui se servent régulièrement de plusieurs langues - en France, par exemple, environ 13 millions de locuteurs, soit un habitant sur cinq, sont concernés -, François Grosjean décrit l'étendue du phénomène et ses caractéristiques linguistiques et psycholinguistiques chez l'adulte et l'enfant. Quels sont les rôles de la famille et de l'école dans le devenir bilingue de l'enfant ? Qu'en est-il du biculturalisme, de l'identité biculturelle, ainsi que du bilinguisme exceptionnel des traducteurs, interprètes, enseignants de langues vivantes et écrivains bilingues ? Fondé sur les recherches récentes dans le domaine, ce livre passionnant souligne les effets, largement positifs, du bilinguisme sur le développement cognitif et invite à considérer toute personne bilingue comme un être de communication à part entière.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Le bilinguisme est considéré comme un phénomène mondial qui apparaît selon les besoins de la société. À l'avenir, ce besoin prendra plusieurs formes : communication, relations, échanges, mobilité. Ces formes sont à l'origine de ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui le contact de langues. Autrement dit, elles contribuent à la présence du bilinguisme et/ou du plurilinguisme. Nous sommes aujourd'hui face à une situation où nous ne pouvons plus nous limiter à être "monolingues". Il faut que nous atteignions tous et toutes un certain seuil de bilinguisme, voire plurilinguisme. Cette évolution a été déjà observée dans de nombreux pays du monde. Le bilinguisme et le plurilinguisme sont aujourd'hui au cœur de problématiques sociétales diverses. Les rapports aux langues et aux cultures, les questions identitaires, les perspectives d'intégration socioprofessionnelle ou d'employabilité, etc. invitent des théoriciens et praticiens à réfléchir à l'avenir en tant que réalité où chaque langue, chaque culture aura la capacite d'apporter une contribution particulière. Bien sûr, le contexte historique, politique et économique n'est pas le même pour chaque État. On aimerait dire que le plurilinguisme représente toujours un atout et dans la majorité des cas, c'est la vérité. Mais parfois les réalités d'un pays imposent une langue coloniale--comme le français--afin d'éviter la préférence officielle d'une langue locale au détriment des autres. Le but du présent ouvrage collectif est de rassembler des discussions sur le bilinguisme et le plurilinguisme afin d'étudier, de façon objective, l'ensemble de la question pour pouvoir présenter les mythes et les réalités de la francophonie."--
