Second Language and Heritage Learners in Mixed Classrooms
This book addresses the complexity of mixed language classroom learning environments in which heritage learners (HL) and second language (L2) learners are concurrently exposed to language learning in the same physical space. Heritage speakers, defined widely as those exposed to the target language at home from an early age, tend to display higher oral proficiency and increased intercultural proficiency but lesser metalinguistic and grammatical awareness than L2 learners. The theoretical and pedagogical challenges of engaging both types of learners simultaneously without polarizing the classroom community dictates the need for well-defined, differentiated learning strategies; in response this book offers best practices and reproducible pedagogical initiatives and methodologies for different levels of instruction. The chapters address themes including translanguaging, linguistic identity, metalinguistic awareness and intercultural competence, with contributions from Europe, Africa and the United States.
Third Language Acquisition and Universal Grammar
This volume presents studies which approach the relatively new field of third language (L3) acquisition from the generative linguistic perspective. It aims to bring together researchers who are interested in L3 acquisition and who are at the same time working within the generative framework i.e. Chomsky's Universal Grammar (UG) approach to language acquisition. A total of nine contributions are included, reporting research on L3 involving different combinations of source/target languages and investigating various UG-related properties.
The Exploration of Multilingualism
This volume offers an ontogenetic perspective on research on L3, multilingualism and multiple languages acquisition and a conceptually updated picture of multilingualism studies and third/multiple language acquisition studies. The contributions by prominent scholars of multilingualism present state-of-the-art accounts of the significant aspects in this field. This unique collection of articles adopts a broad-spectrum and synthesized view on the topic. The volume, largely theoretical and classificatory, features main theories, prominent researchers and important research trends. The articles also contain factual and historical material from previous and current decades of research and offer practical information on research resources. For lecturers, students, educators, researchers, and social workers operating in multilingual contexts, "The Exploration of Multilingualism "is manifestly relevant.
La Pietra
This beautiful, heavily illustrated volume reveals the beauty and history of one of the great Florentine villas and of the extraordinary Anglo-American family, the Actons, who in the 20th century restored it to its former glory.
New Trends in Crosslinguistic Influence and Multilingualism Research
This book presents the latest developments in crosslinguistic influence (CLI) and multilingualism research. The contributors, both veteran researchers and relative newcomers to the field, situate their research in current debates in terms of theory and data analysis and they present it in an accessible way. The chapters investigate how and when native and non-native language knowledge is used in language production. They focus on lexis, syntax, tense-aspect, phonology of multilingual production and link it to a range of concepts such as redundancy, affordances, metalinguistic awareness and L2 status. The empirical data have been collected from participants with a wide combination of languages: besides English, German, French and Spanish, there is Finnish, Swedish, Polish, Chinese and Catalan.
Modelos y realidades de la familia actual
La familia es una realidad compleja tanto por el número de miembros que la integran como por la riqueza de las relaciones que establece y por la variedad de formas en la que se concreta. En este libro se utiliza la categoría de cultura en los tres sentidos que usa, individual, vivida y constituida para analizar de una manera integral la naturaleza y el significado de la realidad familiar.
Multilinguismo Individual: Uma Introdução
Uma mente e várias línguas. O cérebro humano consegue lidar com diversas línguas ao mesmo tempo, e um grande número de pessoas faz uso de duas ou mais línguas no seu dia a dia. O multilinguismo não é uma exceção, sendo mais comum do que geralmente se imagina, constituindo-se uma necessidade para muitas pessoas. Apesar da aprendizagem de línguas adicionais na escola ter sido relacionada apenas a uma elite social, o crescente reconhecimento que se dá ao uso de outras línguas nas relações internacionais vem tornando o multilinguismo individual um propósito desejado por muitos.
