This edited book showcases the lessons, successes and challenges of starting and growing a fully bilingual school. Reflecting on the first 10 years of Dos Puentes Elementary School in New York City, it explores the evolution of the school through its four founding pillars: (1) biling眉ismo, biliteracidad y multiculturalismo, (2) las familias son partners, leaders and advocates, (3) investigaciones and hands-on learning, and (4) partnerships with universities, organizations y la comunidad. The cha
This book employs a narrative policy portraiture approach to recenter the stories of the Chinese community involved in the Lau v. Nichols court case of 1974. This seminal Supreme Court case ruled that the failure to provide adequate and accessible instruction to approximately 1800 students of Chinese ancestry denied them the opportunity to participate in public education and constituted a discrimination on the basis of national origin. While much has been written on language education policy cha
This book explains both the theory and practice of e-Portfolio pedagogy and assessment in second and foreign language classroom contexts. The author addresses how e-Portfolios can help instructors make the most of the challenges and opportunities by the continuation of online and blended classrooms in post-pandemic education, and how students might be encouraged to capitalise on their social media literacy to fully engage with e-Portfolios. In addition to providing new insights for scholars of l
As a result of migration, more than 25% of Romanian L1 speakers live outside of Romania and Moldova 鈥 mostly in other European countries, but also in America and Australia. In the meantime, many second-generation speakers have become part of this group. The situation has resulted in various different constellations of language contact, both within the group of Romance languages and amongst typologically different and unrelated languages. Despite the fact that these contact scenarios present a wi
Die Studie zum interaktiven Sprechen im lehrwerkbasierten Fremdsprachenunterricht der Grundschule ist in zweierlei Hinsicht innovativ: Einerseits werden die fremdsprachlichen 脛u脽erungen junger Lernender mit Anfangsniveau erforscht, wozu erst wenige empirische Ergebnisse vorliegen. Andererseits liegt der Fokus auf dem dialogischen Sprechen unter den Lernenden, was auf die neokommunikative Ausrichtung des Lehrwerks zur眉ckzuf眉hren ist, mit dem die untersuchten Klassen Franz枚sisch lernen: Die F枚rder
Este volume oferece um panorama dos projetos e programas curriculares atuais na did谩tica do portugu锚s na Alemanha e em outras regi玫es do mundo. Mostraremos uma variedade de abordagens para desenvolver o portugu锚s como parte integrante da oferta lingu铆stica em contextos escolares e universit谩rios. A rotulagem do portugu锚s como 鈥渓铆ngua menor鈥 no ensino de l铆nguas estrangeiras 茅 contrariada pelo refor莽o da sua posi莽茫o ao lado das outras l铆nguas estrangeiras curriculares, bem como pela 锚nfase da imp
Dieser Band setzt sich mit konkreten Problemstellungen und aktuellen Entwicklungen der universit盲ren Sprachenlehre auseinander. Dabei stellen aktions- und handlungsforschende Zug盲nge das wissenschaftliche Fundament dar. Forschende, die zum Teil selbst langj盲hrig in der Sprachenlehre t盲tig sind, greifen relevante Forschungsthemen aus dem Sprachunterricht auf und bearbeiten diese im Rahmen fachdidaktischer Forschungsprojekte. Die Ergebnisse werden nachhaltig in die Sprachenlehre integriert, um Qua
Dieses Buch versteht sich einerseits als Lehrbuch f眉r die forensische Linguistik. Zugleich ist es ein praxisorientierter Leitfaden zur Identifizierung anonymer Textverfasser:innen 眉ber ihre Sprachmuster. Anhand vieler Beispiele wird veranschaulicht, welch vielschichtige Informationen Texte und S盲tze 眉ber ihre Verfasser:innen preisgeben. Im Vordergrund stehen qualitative Verfahren, in deren Rahmen auch eine sinnvolle Kodierung vorgestellt wird, die sich in der langj盲hrigen Praxis der Autorin als
Dieser Band stellt einzelne Lebens- und Lernbereiche rund um Mehrsprachigkeit und Mehrsprachenlernen vor: gesellschaftliche Mehrsprachigkeit sowie schulisches und universit盲res Mehrsprachenlernen. Es beleuchtet den Komplex der Herkunftssprachen im Verh盲ltnis zur Umgebungs- und Zielfremdsprache Deutsch, diskutiert Gesamtsprachencurricula, und betrachtet die Sprachenarbeit mit Gefl眉chteten. Alle Beitr盲ge sind solide wissenschaftlich fundiert, richten sich sprachlich an Studierende und veranschauli
Das Thema Global Citizenship Education (GCE) gewinnt als Querschnittsthema aller schulischen F盲cher immer mehr an Relevanz. Allerdings gestaltet sich eine einheitliche Definition des Begriffs als 盲u脽erst schwierig: Zu vielstimmig sind die mit GCE verbundenen Diskurse, zu divers die Konzeptionen und assoziierten Zielstellungen. Dieser Band bietet hierbei Hilfe: 7 Kapitel f眉hren in das Thema ein und bieten einen 脺berblick und Orientierung. Dazu werden theoretische Grundlagen thematisiert, fokussie
Die 44. Fr眉hjahrskonferenz zur Erforschung des Fremdsprachenunterrichts besch盲ftigte sich mit Konzepten, Lehrveranstaltungsformaten und Tools der fremd- und zweitsprachendidaktischen Hochschullehre und diskutierte leitende Prinzipien ihrer Gestaltung sowie Kriterien, anhand derer die Qualit盲t der Lehre in den Fremd- und Zweitsprachendidaktiken bemessen werden kann.

The study of cross-linguistic variability between languages has been a central question in linguistic theory and has delivered important insights on language. This focus on cross-linguistic variation is essential for formulating and testing linguistic theories: A theory of grammar should be a theory of all possible human grammars. Similarly, a theory of the psychology of language should be based on cross-linguistic evidence: Although grammars are language-specific, speakers' mi
