La universitat europea ha de fer front als reptes de la internacionalitzaci, que suposa per una banda, el desplegament de poltiques per difondre la seva activitat acadmica ms enll de les seves fronteres i, per laltra facilitar la mobilitat destudiants i lacollida destudiants estrangers. Aquests reptes suposen una situaci de multilingisme i interculturalitat, alhora que posen de relleu el paper de langls com a llengua internacional. Els reptes relacionats amb el multilingisme es fan especialment palesos en territoris amb llengua prpia com Catalunya i Galles. Per una banda, Catalunya compta amb una llengua dmplia difusi entre la poblaci, com s el catal, que conviu amb la llengua castellana. En aquesta situaci, la llengua anglesa es considera una eina que ha de facilitar la internacionalitzaci de la universitat. Per altra banda, a Galles, la llengua gallesa s minoritria davant de lhegemonia de langls. Tenint en compte aquestes situacions sociolingstiques, aquest projecte se centra en la gesti del plurilingisme i la multiculturalitat en una universitat de Catalunya i una altra de Galles. Fonamentalment, el projecte pretn respondre a la pregunta segent: De quina forma respon la universitat a Catalunya i Galles als reptes del plurilingisme i la interculturalitat que sels plantegen davant la progressiva internacionalitzaci que viu la universitat? Per tal de respondre a aquesta pregunta, el projecte se centra en una acci institucional central de les poltiques universitries dinternacionalizaci: lacollida destudiants internacionals (bsicament a travs del programa Erasmus). El projecte que aqu es proposa se centra especficament en lacollida destudiants internacionals per part de la Universitat de Lleida (Catalunya) i de la Universitat de Cardiff (Gales), analitzant i comparant per una banda (i) les accions institucionals contretes i, per altra banda, (ii) les actituds lingstiques i (iii) les prctiques comunicatives plurilinges dels diferents agents que hi intervenen: (1) estudiants internacionals dins del programa Erasmus, (2) estudiants locals (3) professors amb alumnat internacional i 4) personal dadministraci i serveis que dna suport a la internacionalitzaci. Aquest projecte semmarca dins de quatre grans lnies dinvestigaci, en les quals aquest equip ja hi ha treballat mpliament: (a) comunicaci intercultural; (b) interacci social i poder; (c) langls com a lingua franca; (d) actituds, ideologies i prctiques relacionades amb el multilingisme.

The title of this thesis is The importance of using games to teach English in the 3rd Cycle. I choose this topic because I think that games are important in the process of learning and because in my opinion not only students but people in general are more motivated to learn when they are having fun or when they are doing something that is interesting. Some authors argue that games stimulate learners to practise, to activate and extend their English vocabulary, and that most students feel more motivated to learn and learn more easily when they are having fun. Games make demands on learners intelligence and imagination and calls for active participation. That is exactly what 3rd Cycle students and teachers need in order to have success in their studies and work respectively. The 3rd Cycle students have covered the majority of the grammar and functions contents of the English curriculum in the previous Cycles (the 1st and 2nd Cycle) and in the 3rd Cycle the students need most of their time to put into practice what they have learned before. Games are an effective method to put in practice what they have learned before and also through games they have several contexts and different situations to explore in order to show their knowledge or their vocabulary. The 3rd Cycle students need methods that motivate them to learn and to participate in class and since they already study a specific language function. If the teacher uses an enjoyable method like games students will not get bored and they will be more motivate to participate in class.

Motivation is the key to learning. The present study is about the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as they affect learning with regard to students who are learning EFL for the first time. Cape Verdean seventh grade students learning English for the first time are generally very enthusiastic about the language before they start learning it in the high school. However, that enthusiasm seems not to be maintained throughout the school year and oftentimes teachers hear them complain about the difficulties of mastering aspects of the language. It seems that for some reason their motivation is undermined. Why does that happen? Is it the students fault or the teachers? If it the teachers fault, which motivation strategies work best to cope with this problem: intrinsic or extrinsic? With this in mind I asked the question: What is the relationship between students needs, interests, goals and expectations to learn English as a foreign language and teachers roles as facilitators and motivators? There are many studies that have been carried out in the field of motivation, and up to now, there seems to be no consensus of which is the best. For the purposes of this paper, three main theories will be discussed that have prevailed in the field of motivational psychology: the behavioural, the cognitive and the humanistic theories. Within these theories sub-theories are discussed and their relationship is explained with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation regarding Cape Verdean students learning English for the first time.

This study investigates if Cape Verde can be successful in the production of English language textbooks. It also will be looked at the main reasons why locally produced textbooks would be advantageous. The findings of the study reveal that the production of an English language textbook for Cape Verde is the best solution and that it can be successful. We also find out that Capeverdean English teachers have professional competence and pedagogical qualification to be engaged in this practice. However, significant assistance will be necessary for bringing experts to the country to supervise the process. It also will be necessary to find financial support to put it in practice.

This study analyzes the interference of native language when students are learning a foreign language, in this case English. According to this study, interferences from the native language such as lexical-semantic and phonological are not infrequent. It is one of the main barriers that create difficulties when learning English. The outcome of this study is presented at the end of the Monografia: to provide English-language teachers and students the most significant linguistic interferences that occur during the learning process of English language. Furthermore, some teaching strategies are discussed to avoid the biases that appear due to the interferences of the native language. As a result of this study, I hope to contribute to the learning success among English-language students.

This thesis is a pedagogical and methodological work related to the Teachers use of the students common language in 7th grade (beginners-level 1) Capeverdean English classroom. It discusses the importance of a limited and judicious use of the students common language (Creole/Portuguese) as a teaching technique to assist in the teaching and learning process. This thesis contains four chapters. The first chapter defines and shows the difference between mother tongue, second language and foreign language, talks about the methods and approaches (classroom procedures) to teach English as a foreign language, the different opinions about the teachers use of the students first language in the EFL classroom, and presents two studies already conducted on the use of the students mother tongue in the English classroom in two different EFL context. The second Chapter describes the methodology of research to conduct a study on the use of the students common language (Creole/Portuguese) in the EFL Capeverdean context with 7th grade students. The third chapter is the presentation of the Results and Analyses of the field research. And finally the fourth chapter is the recommendations and conclusions.

Many researchers have suggested simulation as a powerful tool to transpose the normal classroom into an authentic setting where language skills can be performed under more realistic conditions. This paper will outline the benefits of simulation in the classroom, provide additional topics to Third Cycle English Language National Syllabus to be discussed / simulated in the classroom and also provide two simulation lesson plans with samples for Capeverdean Third Cycle English Language Students.

This research paper is concerned with the need to improve how listening skills are taught in the Capeverdian EFL classroom. Teaching English through listening is not an easy task, especially when there are many factors that impede the learning process such as: lack of adequate materials and conditions; lack of qualified teachers with good pronunciation, and lack of innovative approaches to teaching listening skills. If our goal as teachers is to produce good English speakers we must invest in training good listeners. In this work I will focus on the following aspects: an evaluation of how effectively listening skills are taught in the Capeverdian EFL classroom; a look at how we can turn teaching problems into positive solutions; how to improve teaching listening skills and materials and recommendations for best practices in teaching listening skills in the EFL classroom. In conclusion I will include listening activities which reflect these best practices and offer recommendations for further research.
