Gestão das línguas no século XXI: para uma introdução à política linguística exterior

The objective of this work is to stimulate a debate about the idea of a possible foreign language policy. It seeks to do so from an overview of the structural changes of recent decades - those affecting the economy, information and communication technologies, geopolitics and identities - in order to draw attention to the renewed importance and the role that the language management issues are assuming in this new context. Considering the foreign language policy a theoretical and practical essential tool for the management of language in a globalized world, the focus of the discussion rests on four main aspects: the origins of the notion of foreign language policy; the relationship with the foreign policy of the State; its effectiveness through the intervention on corpus, status and acquisition of the language; and the possibility of their formulation by agents other than the State

Research and theory driven insights: ten suggestions for L2 reading instruction

[EN]Research and theory on second language reading has reached heightened dimensions in recent years. It is through reading that learners access much information concerning the target language and culture, and consequently reading is an important part of almost all language programs across stages of acquisition. The purpose of this article is to offer informed suggestions for the foreign language instructor of reading. The ideas given in this paper constitute a collaborative project that developed as part of a graduate seminar on L2 Reading and Writing taught at Washington University in St. Louis.

Turismo didáctico: Barcelona y el Quijote

[ES]Reflexionamos en este artículo sobre el concepto de “turismo didáctico o pedagógico” junto con el de “geografía cultural” como herramientas de aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera a través de la obra maestra de Cervantes. Exploramos concretamente las posibilidades didácticas de los capítulos que ilustran el trasiego del hidalgo desde su natal Castilla-La Mancha (tradicional y castiza), hasta la moderna y cosmopolita ciudad de Barcelona. [EN]In this article we reflected on the concept of "educational or pedagogical tourism” along with "cultural geography" as tools for learning Spanish as a foreign language through the Cervantes masterpiece. We specifically explore the educational possibilities of the chapters that illustrate the movement of don Quixote, from his native Castilla - La Mancha (traditional and genuine) to the modern and cosmopolitan Barcelona.

Il corpus DIRSI: creazione e sviluppo di un corpus elettronico per lo studio della direzionalità in interpretazione simultanea

Con questa tesi abbiamo messo a punto una metodologia per l'applicazione del "corpus-based approach" allo studio dell'interpretazione simultanea, creando DIRSI-C, un corpus elettronico parallelo (italiano-inglese) e allineato di trascrizioni di registrazioni tratte da convegni medici, mediati da interpreti simultaneisti. Poiché gli interpreti professionisti coinvolti hanno lavorato dalla lingua straniera alla loro lingua materna e viceversa, il fattore direzionalità è il parametro di analisi delle prestazioni degli interpreti secondo i metodi di indagine della linguistica dei corpora. In this doctoral thesis a methodology was developed to fully apply the corpus-based approach to simultaneous interpreting research. DIRSI-C is a parallel (Italian-English/English-Italian) and aligned electronic corpus, containing transcripts of recorded medical international conferences with professional simultaneous interpreters working both from and into their foreign language. Against this backdrop, directionality represents the research parameter used to analyze interpreters' performance by means of corpus linguistics tools.

Kooperativer Fremdsprachenerwerb im Teletandem

Im Wintersemester 2006/07 wurde am Fachbereich Translations-, Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft der Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz in Germersheim, in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fakultät für Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften der Universität des brasilianischen Bundesstaates São Paulo (Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, UNESP) in Assis, das Pilotprojekt Teletandem initiiert. Ein Teil des Pilotprojektes, die Einführung, Entwicklung und Implementierung der Lehr- und Lernmethode Teletandem als Modul im BA-/MA-Studiengang Portugiesisch am FTSK, ist Grundlage der vorliegenden Dissertation.rnTeletandem (TT) ist eine innovative Methode zum autonomen, kooperativen Fremdsprachenlernen in Tandempaaren über das Internet. Die TT-Paare setzen sich aus einem brasilianischen und einem deutschen Studierenden zusammen, die sich ein- bis zweimal pro Woche im Internet treffen und mittels Webcam und Headset ‚unter vier Augen’ synchron, audiovisuell, mündlich und schriftlich miteinander kommunizieren. Dabei entscheiden sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Partner wann sie sich treffen, über was sie sprechen und wie sie die Teletandemsitzungen didaktisch gestalten. Durch die authentische Kommunikation mit Muttersprachlern erwerben und vertiefen die Teilnehmer zielgerichtet ihre Kenntnisse der fremden Sprache und Kultur.rnIn Teil I dieser Dissertation wird anhand einer Auswahl behavioristischer, kognitivistischer und konstruktivistischer (Lern-)Theorien wissenschaftlich untersucht, wie wir lernen, welche Faktoren unser Lernen positiv beeinflussen und welche Implikationen dies für institutionelles Lernen hat. Die Erkenntnisse werden auf das (Fremdsprachen-)Lernen im TT transferiert und es wird untersucht, inwieweit die Anwendung der Methode die Lernprozesse der Studierenden (und Lehrkräfte) begünstigt. In Teil 2 werden die Geschichte des Lernens im (Tele-)Tandem sowie die theoretische Grundlage und die Prinzipien von TT erläutert und das Pilotprojekt vorgestellt. Des Weiteren werden die im Rahmen des Projektes entwickelten vier Teletandemmodule (Modul Teletandem I, Modul Teletandem II, Intensivkurs Portugiesisch im Teletandem, Modul Fremdsprachenlernen im Teletandem), die von Studierenden des FTSK, des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) und der UNESP durchgeführt wurden, dargestellt. Im dritten Teil werden die Ergebnisse der Evaluation der Teletandemkurse vorgestellt und analysiert.rn

Tradurre per le imprese. Analisi e traduzione in inglese della Nota integrativa al Bilancio consolidato 2013 di MNLG S.r.l.-Holding Sorma Group

The aim of this dissertation is to provide a translation in English of the Notes on the Consolidated Financial Statements of MNLG S.r.l., holding company of the Italian Sorma Group. This translation work is one example of the technical material produced in accordance with the project called Language Toolkit, set up by the Chamber of Commerce of Forlì-Cesena, to support the internationalization of the companies established in the territory. This initiative has represented a unique opportunity for me to put into practice the knowledge and abilities learnt in the translation field during these years at university. It also allowed me to give a concrete purpose to my dissertation, that is to provide a technical document translated into a foreign language. By making its Consolidated Financial Statement readily available in English, the company MNLG S.r.l. can in fact increase the number of possible investors and guarantee a more transparent financial informative to its shareholders. This translation work is divided into six chapters: the first one describes the project, its main objectives and the ways in which it was developed. The second chapter deals with the notions of Consolidated Financial Statements and presents the accounting documents of which the Financial Statements are made up as well as the norms according to which they are prepared. The third chapter, instead, focuses on the translation procedure applied and especially on the documentation process, analysing the differences between the International Accounting Standards and the accounting standards used in Italy. The fourth chapter provides a description of the translation resources built for the translation of this specific document. The fifth chapter includes the English version of the Notes on the Consolidated Financial Statements and, to conclude, the sixth chapter analyses the difficulties encountered in translating and the strategies adopted to overcome them.

The Power of Tragedy: An Eighteenth-Century Debate on Theater and its Relevance to Literature Pedagogy Today

This article brings to light a debate on tragic fiction in eighteenth-century France, and more specifically, on whether or not tragedy has the power to transform individuals intellectually and emotionally. Through analysis of abbé Dubos’s Reflexions critiques sur la poésie et sur la peinture and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Lettre à d’Alembert sur les spectacles, I contend that Dubos’s overwhelmingly positive conception of fiction—and especially his contention that we learn through the emotions when we engage with tragic fiction—can serve as an admirable pedagogical model for today’s fiction-focused foreign language classrooms.

Linkage in narratives: A comparison between monolingual speakers of French and Italian, and early and late French-Italian bilinguals

In the course of language acquisition learners have to deal with the task of producing narrative texts that are coherent across a range of conceptual domains (space, time, entities) -- both within as well as across utterances. The organization of information is analyzed in this study, on the basis of retellings of a silent film, in terms of devices used in the coordination and subordination of events within the narrative sequence. The focus on subordination reflects a core grammatical difference between Italian and French, as Italian is a null-subject language while French is not. The implications of this contrast for information structure include differences in topic management within the sequence of events. The present study investigates in how far Italian-French bilingual speakers acquire the patterns of monolingual speakers of Italian. It compares how early and late bilinguals of these two languages proceed when linking information in narratives in Italian.

La enseñanza y la educación del cuerpo infantil : Cuando el lenguaje intercede con "lo vivo"

En el presente trabajo se realiza un abordaje que supone problematizar las configuraciones discursivas modernas propias del campo de la didáctica y de la pedagogía modernas en su vinculación con la dimensión corporal de la infancia. Considerar que el lenguaje opera en lo subjetivo de la infancia introduciendo una dimensión no-gobernable requiere repensar las implicancias de enseñar y educar el cuerpo en el ámbito escolar. No hay, pues, relación de exclusión entre el lenguaje, la enseñanza, la educación y el cuerpo. Enseñanza y educación son siempre instancias de palabra, indisociables de lo corporal y por lo tanto sujetas a la estructuración del lenguaje. Allí lo corporal queda indefectiblemente capturado, en tanto el cuerpo no es aquello que discurre únicamente en su dimensión imaginaria, sino que es articulado tras la contingencia propia de la inestabilidad de lo simbólico y la imposible captura de lo real. La educación del cuerpo es, entonces, el conjunto estructurado de dispositivos que no hacen más que bordear la inconsistencia de lo humano (al tiempo que la produce)

Apuntes para una historia de la librería Denné (1785-1885)

Desde comienzos del siglo XIX, el sector editorial experimenta un fuerte crecimiento en París. Entre los libreros-editores, unas pocas editoriales, como Denné, se especializan en la venta y la producción de obras en lenguas extranjeras. El establecimiento fundado por esta familia, la Librería Española y Americana, se vuelve el punto de encuentro de hispanohablantes que se encuentran en la capital y que quieren comprar o hacer publicar sus libros en su lengua materna. Tal fue, probablemente, el caso de Eugenio Cambaceres

CLIL : The approach for the future?

The aim of this article is to explore the potential of CLIL as a key approach in the future of English language teaching. Issues related to the different roles of teachers -including teacher training- and to the school specific subjects have been discussed . We have also focused our attention on the relationship between this approach and culture. The role of language in CLIL and the implementation of different modes of assessment are also mentioned. Material selection and adaptation is analysed in the light of CLIL ? principles. The analysis of these points leads us to provide a series of requisites which are to be met if we want the CLIL approach to improve out teaching practices and our students learning experiences
