Aprendre anglès a Nicaragua amb imatges: consolidant nous llenguatges i xarxes interculturals

El present estudi parteix d’una premissa complicada: el context en el qual es produeix l’estudi de cas. Com ensenyar una llengua estrangera en àrees rurals de l’Amèrica Central quan les aules escolars d’aquest entorn a penes disposen de pissarres i pupitres, i molt menys de llibres de text, gravadores o ordinadors? És més, els mestres que es veuen obligats a impartir la matèria de llengua anglesa sovint tenen un coneixement de la mateixa de nivell elemental (això si hi ha sort), i molt poca metodologia pràctica de l’ensenyament. Sense coneixements, sense materials didàctics disponibles ni adequats, com podem aconseguir que l’alumnat arribi a adquirir competències bàsiques en la matèria? Com podem afavorir l’adquisició d’una competència comunicativa mínima? Com podem introduir l’ús dels nous llenguatges digitals en unes aules que encara no disposen de la tecnologia adequada?

La Mise en oeuvre préalable à la construction collaborative d’une séquence d’anglais à l’école élémentaire

La recherche présentée est issue d’une thèse en cours qui étudie la manière dont se nouent les relations entre les compétences culturelles et linguistiques au cours de séances de langue étrangère au cycle 3 de l’école primaire. Notre recherche s’appuie sur des données empiriques quantitatives et qualitatives et sur un cadre théorique articulant des concepts de didactique des langues et cultures (notamment, Aden, 2007; Gruson, 2007; Puren, 2002; Zarate, 1993), mais aussi de didactique des mathématiques dans une perspective comparatiste (entre autres, Brousseau, 1998; Sensevy, Mercier & Schubauer-Leoni, 2000; Sensevy & Mercier, 2007)

Estudio acerca de la influencia del nivel sociocultural en la competencia comunicativa e intervención didáctica en expresión y comprensión en alumnado de ESO

La experiencia que mostramos fue llevada a cabo por un grupo de trabajo formado por tres profesoras de la materia de Lengua castellana y literatura en tres centros de enseñanza secundaria de Andalucía durante el curso 2007/ 2008 (en Granada en los IES “Clara Campoamor” de Peligros y “Manuel de Falla” de Maracena; y en Jaén, el IES “Juan de Villar” de Arjonilla)

La Música en la enseñanza–aprendizaje del inglés

El presente trabajo, que se ha iniciado en la Ciudad Autónoma de Melilla, y luego se extenderá a Ceuta y Granada, pretende ofrecer al especialista de inglés un repertorio de canciones populares inglesas, (o traducidas al inglés), ritmos retahílas, danzas, etc., que recoja los conceptos que se van a trabajar (vocabulario). La idea es elaborar cooperativamente unos recursos y materiales donde la música cobre protagonismo en la clase de inglés, y que a la vez sirva al especialista de música en el desarrollo de su currículo musical. Es decir poner la música al servicio del inglés, pero a la vez favoreciendo el proceso de musicalización escolar

Efecto de las nuevas tecnologías en el aprendizaje del inglés en primaria: un currículo compartido por colegios de Francia, Inglaterra y España

La primera justificación que se puede hacer para este trabajo es la necesidad que tienen los gobiernos europeos de fomentar el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras, especialmente a destacar el empeño del gobierno inglés por incluir el aprendizaje de éstas en los primeros niveles de la Educación Primaria o el interés de la Junta de Andalucía en el desarrollo del Plan de Plurilingüismo. En este sentido podemos destacar las iniciativas propuestas por la Unión Europea (Plan de acción 2004-2006 para el aprendizaje de lenguas y la diversidad lingüística, 2003, el Plan Bolonia, la Estrategia de Lisboa de 2000, etc.) y que han dado la importancia que requería el comienzo temprano del aprendizaje de otras lenguas distintas de la materna. Un énfasis cada vez mayor en el papel de las lenguas, una dimensión global del aprendizaje, la aparición del AICLE (CLIL) como un nuevo enfoque en la enseñanza de las lenguas han de ir, como no podría ser de otra manera, de la mano de las nuevas tecnologías

Constructing emergent literacy : negotiating literacy technologies in preschool-school transition

Examines conflicting views about early literacy in homes, Preschools and schools as interactive technologies challenge traditional print-based literacies. The research found that significant differences between children's multimodal literacies and versions of emergent policies, may threaten successful literacy acquisition.

From play to poetics

An expedient approach towards organizing ideas and drafting at the sentence-level, play with phrase structures in the Vygotskyan tradition demonstrates the often unexploited possibilities afforded to composition students through creative experiential learning; circumvents prescriptive pedagogies; and makes explicit a student's tacit awareness of standard grammars and more valued rhetorical conventions.

Towards guidelines for curriculum design and development in English language teacher education in Cambodian higher education institutions

In the current Cambodian higher education sector, there is little regulation of standards in curriculum design of undergraduate degrees in English language teacher education. The researcher, in the course of his professional work in the Curriculum and Policy Office at the Department of Higher Education, has seen evidence that most universities tend to copy their curriculum from one source, the curriculum of the Institute of Foreign Languages, the Royal University of Phnom Penh. Their programs fail to impose any entry standards, accepting students who pass the high school exam without any entrance examination. It is possible for a student to enter university with satisfactory scores in all subjects but English. Therefore, not many graduates are able to fulfil the professional requirements of the roles they are supposed to take. Neau (2010) claims that many Cambodian EFL teachers do not reach a high performance standard due to their low English language proficiency and poor background in teacher education. The main purpose of this study is to establish key guidelines for developing curricula for English language teacher education for all the universities across the country. It examines the content of the Bachelor‘s degree of Education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (B Ed in TEFL) and Bachelor‘s degree of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (BA in TESOL) curricula adopted in Cambodian universities on the basis of criteria proposed in current curriculum research. It also investigates the perspectives of Cambodian EFL teachers on the areas of knowledge and skill they need in order to perform their English teaching duties in Cambodia today. The areas of knowledge and skill offered in the current curricula at Cambodian higher education institutions (HEIs), the framework of the knowledge base for EFL teacher education and general higher education, and the areas of knowledge and skill Cambodian EFL teachers perceive to be important, are compared so as to identify any gaps in the current English language teacher education curricula in the Cambodian HEIs. The existence of gaps show what domains of knowledge and skill need to be included in the English language teacher education curricula at Cambodian HEIs. These domains are those identified by previous curriculum researchers in both general and English language teacher education at tertiary level. Therefore, the present study provides useful insights into the importance of including appropriate content in English language teacher education curricula. Mixed methods are employed in this study. The course syllabi and the descriptions within the curricula in five Cambodian HEIs are analysed qualitatively based on the framework of knowledge and skills for EFL teachers, which is formed by looking at the knowledge base for second language teachers suggested by the methodologists and curriculum specialists whose work is elaborated on the review of literature. A quantitative method is applied to analyse the perspectives of 120 Cambodian EFL teachers on areas of knowledge and skills they should possess. The fieldwork was conducted between June and August, 2014. The analysis reveals that the following areas are included in the curricula at the five universities: communication skills, general knowledge, knowledge of teaching theories, teaching skills, pedagogical reasoning and decision making skills, subject matter knowledge, contextual knowledge, cognitive abilities, and knowledge of social issues. Additionally, research skills are included in three curricula while society and community involvement is in only one. Further, information and communication technology, which is outlined in the Education Strategies Plan (2006-2010), forms part of four curricula while leadership skills form part of two. This study demonstrates ultimately that most domains that are directly and indirectly related to language teaching competence are not sufficiently represented in the current curricula. On the basis of its findings, the study concludes with a set of guidelines that should inform the design and development of TESOL and TEFL curricula in Cambodia.
