L’escolarització de la infància estrangera es fa en programes de canvi de llengua de la llar a l’escola. Per això, el progrés de les criatures estrangeres en el domini de la llengua del centre docent remet a fer possible una pràctica educativa semblant a aquella que permet assolir l’èxit escolar en els programes d’immersió lingüística. L’article discuteix aquesta qüestió a partir d’un estudi empíric i proposa alguns criteris per orientar la pràctica educativa amb aquest alumnat

En aquest treball proposem crear materials didàctics per a l’alumnat de les aules de secundària que en molts casos és heterogeni i inclou estudiants que surten de l’aula d’acollida amb un coneixement del català informal i que tenen dificultats per a incorporar-se al ritme habitual de l’aula ordinària

Es presenta una experiència duta a terme en assignatures de llengua catalana a les titulacions de Filologia Catalana i Magisteri. La proposta surt de la necessitat de millorar la competència en matèria de llengua dels estudiants i s'adequa a les noves directrius europees pel que fa a la docència universitària. Al mateix temps, es fomenten la capacitat crítica, el raonament metalingüístic i la competència comunicativa dels estudiants, així com el treball en equip. L'experiència consisteix a treballar temes de llengua en seminaris en els quals es presenten problemes i es plantegen qüestions als estudiants. En primer lloc es parteix de l'estat de la qüestió; a continuació es faciliten materials sobre el tema i es tracta en diverses discussions. El final del seminari consisteix a presentar el tema en grup però amb la particularitat que s'ha d'adreçar a dos públics diferents: l'universitari-científic i el d'escola o institut de secundària. Es presenta la metodologia de treball amb un dels temes que es van treballar en els seminaris, concretament el tema de l'accentuació de la llengua catalana. En el treball es fan consideracions generals sobre l'organització de les sessions i també s'aporten exemples concrets de com es va dur a terme la proposta. Per un costat, l'experiència posa de manifest que alguns mètodes didàctics tradicionals són poc adequats i poc motivadors per a l'aprenentatge. Per l'altre, es confirma que el treball inductiu afavoreix el pensament crític i l'establiment de generalitzacions que poden portar a una millor coneixement del sistema de la llengua en qüestió. En aquesta línia, es mostra la necessitat d'aportar noves formes de treballar la llengua, de manera que les activitats proposades tinguin connexió amb l'experiència real de l'estudiant com a parlant i amb la seva capacitat de conèixer i reflexionar sobre la seva llengua (i altres llengües). Només d'aquesta manera es veu la funció real de la llengua en tots els àmbits i només d'aquesta manera es potencia la motivació per l'estudi

The purpose of this qualitative inquiry was to determine how the Practical Nursing and Pharmacy Technician programs in one southern Ontario community college could more effectively accommodate ESL learners' communication needs. The literature review examined (a) linguistic issues, such as language testing and second-language learning theories, (b) organizational matters, such as ESL curriculum and teacher training, and (c) affective issues, such as motivation for second-language learning, learning styles, and the student-teacher relationship. I gathered perceptual data from the programs' administrators, faculty members, and ESL learners. Eleven participants took part in individual interviews or a focus group session. The results suggest that ESL learners need assistance with discipline-specific vocabulary and cultural nuances. College ESL learners' weak communicative competence, together with misleading acceptance standards for ESL learners and limited support available to faculty members and to students, decrease opportunities for successful completion of the programs. The results point to re-assessment of the college's admission policies and procedures, program evaluation practices that consider the needs of ESL learners, discipline-specific language support, and strategies to enhance the ESL student-teacher relationship. The study highlights theory relating to ESL learners' self-perception and engagement, as well as the importance of including the voice of college ESL learners in educational research. The results suggest that despite ESL learners' perseverance in completing their studies, power imbalances remain. The college has yet to implement organizational strategies such as discipline-specific communications and ESL courses and extended language support that could meet the communication needs of ESL learners in the two programs.

Topic management by non-native speakers (NNSs) during informal conversations has received comparatively little attention from researchers, and receives surprisingly little attention in second language learning and teaching. This article reports on one of the topic management strategies employed by international students during informal, social interactions with native-speaker peers, exploring the process of maintaining topic continuity following temporary suspensions of topics. The concept of side sequences is employed to illustrate the nature of different types of topic suspension, as well as the process of jointly negotiating a return to the topic. Extracts from the conversations show that such sequences were not exclusively occasioned by language difficulties, and that the non-native speaker participants were able to effect successful returns to the main topic of the conversations.

Few valid and reliable placement procedures are available to assess the English language proficiency of adults who enroll in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs. Whereas placement material exists for children and university ESOL students, the needs of students in adult community education programs have not been adequately addressed. Furthermore, the research suggests that a number of variables, such as, native language, age, prior schooling, length of residence, and employment are related to second language acquisition. Numerous studies contribute to our understanding of the relationship of these factors to second language acquisition of Spanish-speaking students. Again, there is a void in the research investigating the factors affecting second language acquisition and consequently, appropriate placement of Haitian Creole-speaking students. This study compared a standardized instrument, the NYS Place Test, used alone and in combination with a writing sample in English, to subjective judgement of a department coordinator for initial placement of Haitian adult ESOL students in a community education program. The study also investigated whether or not consideration of student profile data improved the accuracy of the test. Finally, the study sought to determine if a relationship existed between student profile data and those who withdrew from the program or did not enter a class after registering. Analysis of the data by crosstabulation and chi-square revealed that the standardized NYS Place Test was at least as accurate as subjective department coordinator placement and that one procedure could be substituted for li other. Although the writing sample in English improved accuracy of placement by the NYS test, the results were not significant. Of the profile variables, only length of residence was found to be significantly related to accuracy of placement using the NYS Place Test. The number of incorrect placements was higher for those students who lived in the host country from twenty-five to one hundred ten months. A post hoc analysis of NYS test scores according to level showed that those learners who placed in level three also had a significantly higher incidence of incorrect placements. No significant relationship was observed between the profile variables and those who withdrew from the program or registered but did not enter a class.

En este trabajo se pretende, por una parte, identificar los usos del pretérito perfecto compuesto y su contraste para las distintas variedades del español y, por otra parte, comparar las conclusiones a las que se llegue al respecto, con dos métodos y una gramática pensados específicamente para la enseñanza de español como lengua extranjera
