This paper seeks to explore the relationship between academic literature, policy, and practice in terms of language learning within the specific context of refugee families who have recently reunited in Glasgow through the British Red Cross Family Reunion Integration Service. The paper presents research findings from a pilot teaching study, working collaboratively with participants within their first few weeks of arriving in Scotland to explore whether an ecological, multilingual approach to language learning is effective in this context. Building on principles of translanguaging with participants using their full “linguistic repertoire” (Garcia & Kleifgen, 2010) and drawing on Norton’s construct of “investment” (2013) the paper explores key themes of empowerment and identity in the classroom. The results enable us to draw conclusions regarding the balance of power in the classroom and the impact of the recognition of refugees’ own languages within the learning process.
本文旨在探讨学术文献、政策和实践在语言学习方面的关系,并以最近通过英国红十字会家庭团聚融合服务在格拉斯哥团聚的难民家庭为具体背景。本文介绍了一项试点教学研究的研究结果,该研究与参与者在抵达苏格兰的最初几周内合作,探讨在这种情况下,生态的多语言学习方法是否有效。基于参与者使用其全部“语言曲目”的跨语言原则(Garcia & Kleifgen, 2010),并借鉴诺顿的“投资”结构(2013),本文探讨了课堂中的赋权和身份的关键主题。这些结果使我们能够得出关于课堂上的权力平衡和承认难民自己的语言在学习过程中的影响的结论。

Peer Feedback and Reflective Practice in Public Service Interpreter Training 公共服务口译员培训中的同伴反馈与反思实践
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-12-23 DOI: 10.31261/tapsla.7809
Katarzyna Holewik
The paper discusses the importance of student-generated feedback, that is, peer feedback and self-assessment in public service interpreter training. The importance of peer feedback and self-assessment is widely recognised in teaching and learning and benefits include: promoting analytical and critical thinking skills, students’ active participation in the learning process, promoting a collaborative model of teaching and learning, students’ responsibility and autonomy, to name but a few. However, their beneficial character can also be observed in public service interpreter training. The aim of the pilot study conducted among trainee interpreters (MA students) of public service interpreting course was to examine interpreting quality and compare positive (strengths) and negative aspects (weaknesses) of trainee interpreters’ performance identified by them by means of peer feedback and reflection (self-assessment). The trainees participated in simulated public service interpreting sessions and later were asked to reflect on their own as well as their peers’ performance. As seen from data analysis, there are discrepancies between peer feedback and reflection in the perception of students’ strengths and weaknesses and a negative trend can be observed in the case of reflection.
本文讨论了学生反馈的重要性,即同伴反馈和自我评估在公共服务口译员培训中的重要性。同伴反馈和自我评估的重要性在教学中得到了广泛认可,其好处包括:提高分析和批判性思维技能,学生积极参与学习过程,促进教学合作模式,学生的责任感和自主性,等等。然而,在公共服务口译员培训中也可以观察到他们的有益特点。在公共服务口译课程的实习口译员(MA学生)中进行的试点研究的目的是检查口译质量,并通过同行反馈和反思(自我评估),比较他们发现的实习口译员表现的积极方面(优势)和消极方面(劣势)。受训人员参加了模拟公共服务口译课程,随后被要求反思自己和同龄人的表现。从数据分析中可以看出,在对学生优势和劣势的感知中,同伴反馈和反思之间存在差异,在反思的情况下可以观察到负面趋势。

AbstractIn this paper psycholinguistic and emotional properties of 619 German idiomatic expressions are explored. The list of idiomatic expressions has been adapted from Citron et al. (2015), who have used it with German native speakers. In our study the same idioms were evaluated by Slovene learners of German as a foreign language. Our participants rated each idiom for emotional valence, emotional arousal, familiarity, concreteness, ambiguity (literality), semantic transparency and figurativeness. They also had the task to describe the meaning of the German idioms and to rate their confidence about the attributed meaning. The aims of our study were (1) to provide descriptive norms for psycholinguistic and affective properties of a large set of idioms in German as a second language, (2) to explore the relationships between psycholinguistic and affective properties of idioms in German as a second language, and (3) to compare the ratings of the German native speakers studied in Citron et al. (2015) with the ratings of the Slovene second language learners from our study. On one hand, the results of the Slovene participants show many similarities with those of of the German native speakers, on the other hand, they show a slight positivity bias and slightly shallower emotional processing of the German idioms. Our study provides data that could be useful for future studies investigating the role of affect in figurative language in a second language setting (methodology, translation science, language technology).
摘要本文探讨了619种德语习语的心理语言和情感特征。习惯表达列表改编自Citron等人(2015),他们曾与以德语为母语的人一起使用。在我们的研究中,同样的习语被作为外语学习德语的斯洛文尼亚学习者评价。我们的参与者对每个成语的情感效价、情感唤起、熟悉程度、具体程度、模糊性(字面性)、语义透明度和比喻性进行了评分。他们还被要求描述德语习语的意思,并评估他们对所述含义的信心。我们研究的目的是:(1)为大量作为第二语言的德语习语的心理语言学和情感特性提供描述性规范;(2)探索作为第二语言的德语习语的心理语言学和情感特性之间的关系;(3)比较Citron等人(2015)研究的德语母语人士的评分与我们研究的斯洛文尼亚第二语言学习者的评分。一方面,斯洛文尼亚人的结果与以德语为母语的人的结果有许多相似之处,另一方面,他们对德语习语的处理表现出轻微的积极偏见和略浅的情绪处理。我们的研究提供的数据可能对未来在第二语言环境中调查情感在比喻语言中的作用的研究(方法学、翻译科学、语言技术)有用。

The problem of teaching English to third-age students is among the issues in ELT which have gained increasing attention and interest in recent years. The aim of this paper is to identify difficulties in learning English as a foreign language reported by students taking part in language courses at third-age universities in Poland. The research is based on the questionnaire distributed among the group of 70 third-age students of English. The results show that the problems the learners report are cantered around their age- and health- related conditions, as well as their general attitudes concerning foreign language learning. It is hoped that the present study will constitute a minor contribution to the study of learning needs and expectations of senior students in Poland.
三年级学生英语教学问题是近年来英语教学中日益受到关注和关注的问题之一。本文的目的是确定在波兰三年级大学参加语言课程的学生在学习英语时遇到的困难。本研究以70名英语三年级学生为调查对象。研究结果表明,学习者报告的问题与他们的年龄和健康状况有关,也与他们对外语学习的总体态度有关。希望本研究将对波兰高年级学生的学习需求和期望的研究做出微小贡献。

The book by Hadrian Lankiewicz entitled Teacher Language Awareness: A Collaborative Inquiry Based on Languaging is a very ambitious and pas sionate publication, not only demonstrating the Author’s excellent orientation in literature on the subject, but also the ability to apply it to his main concern as an academic teacher, which is the teacher-training of prospective EFL teachers. The monograph consists of 368 pages, embracing four chapters, a very exten sive bibliography of over 650 sources and a set of appendices, which consists of research instruments, tasks, and materials used in the empirical study itself. The Author decided—for a good reason—to offer an extensive theoretical back ground to his study (179 pages), compared to a much smaller empirical part (116 pages). It shows the Author’s concern for a strong theoretical grounding of his study, as well as a useful promotion of ideas not very well known or popular in glottodidactic research. The work presents precise definitions of the basis for the study, constructs used and their evolution, advocating the most recent approaches. It refers for example to the concept of language awareness (Andrews, 2007) emphasis ing the relationship between language and ideology, in which appropriacy of discourse in a given context should be of major concern to the language user, but also to any language educator (teacher). The Author rightly assumes the need to develop critical teacher language awareness, which should already have been initiated at the pre-service stage, that is, during teacher training at the university or college. The most substantial part of the theory (chapters 1–3) is a presentation of the ecological perspective, not only in glottodidactic research but also in its in up to the postmodernist era.

Hadrian Lankiewicz的《教师语言意识:基于语言的合作探究》一书是一本非常雄心勃勃和雄心勃勃的出版物,不仅展示了作者在这一主题的文学方面的卓越定位,而且也展示了他作为一名学术教师的主要关注点,即未来英语教师的教师培训。该专著共368页,包括四章,一个包含650多个来源的非常广泛的参考书目和一套附录,其中包括实证研究本身使用的研究工具、任务和材料。作者决定——有充分的理由——为他的研究提供一个广泛的理论背景(179页),而不是一个小得多的实证部分(116页)。这表明了作者对其研究的强大理论基础的关注,以及对在声门教学研究中不太知名或流行的思想的有益推广。这项工作对研究的基础、使用的结构及其演变进行了精确的定义,倡导了最新的方法。例如,它提到了语言意识的概念(Andrews,2007),强调语言和意识形态之间的关系,其中话语在特定背景下的恰当性应该是语言使用者以及任何语言教育者(教师)的主要关注点。作者正确地认为,有必要培养批判性教师的语言意识,这应该在任职前阶段,即大学或学院的教师培训期间就已经开始了。该理论最重要的部分(第1-3章)是对生态视角的介绍,不仅在声门教学研究中,而且在后现代主义时代。这个thor Danuta

Foreign Language Students’ Perceptions of Their Identity 外语学生的身份认知
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-06-30 DOI: 10.31261/TAPSLA.2019.05.06
L. Piasecka
Foreign language learning innvolves cognitive, affective and social functioning of the persons involved in this experience. As a social practice, it is also related to the learners’ perceptions of their identity, specifically to their language identity which refers to the relationship between one’s sense of self and the language used to communicate. This implies that using a system of communication, the speaker develops a new sense of self that remains in a dynamic relation with other senses of self, based on (an)other language(s) the person knows.Language learners’ identity is no longer defined as fixed and stable but as “complex, contradictory and multifaceted” (Norton 1997, p. 419). It is dynamic because learners enter into various discourses and negotiate their position within different communities of practice. Language both shapes and is shaped by identity of its users.This article discusses how students of English as a foreign language perceive the role of this language in their construction of selves/identity. First, postmodern conceptualisations of identity and identity categories are presented along with their relevance to the field of Second Language Acquisition. Second, selected empirical studies pertaining to adult immigrant contexts, foreign language contexts and study abroad contexts are briefly reported. Then the results of an empirical study on the students’ of English (n=83) perceptions of their identity in the context of foreign language study are introduced. The study revealed that most of the participants realise complex relations between language learning and their identity and are aware of the effects that studying English (as well as other foreign languages) has on them. English gave them new possibilities in life, allowed them to communicate with people worldwide and make friends with them. They have new and interesting prospects for the future. It affected their personality by making them more open-minded and tolerant of otherness. The knowledge of English gives the students power, prestige, and opportunities to live and work in a changing world of complex social relations.
外语学习涉及到参与这种体验的人的认知、情感和社会功能。作为一种社会实践,它也与学习者对自己身份的感知有关,特别是与他们的语言身份有关,语言身份是指一个人的自我意识与用于交流的语言之间的关系。这意味着,使用一种交流系统,说话者会基于他所知道的其他语言,发展出一种新的自我意识,这种自我意识与其他自我意识保持着动态关系。语言学习者的身份不再被定义为固定和稳定的,而是“复杂、矛盾和多方面的”(Norton 1997,第419页)。它是动态的,因为学习者进入不同的话语,并在不同的实践社区中协商自己的立场。语言既塑造用户的身份,又由用户的身份塑造。本文讨论了英语作为一门外语的学生如何看待这种语言在他们构建自我/身份中的作用。首先,提出了身份和身份类别的后现代概念,以及它们与第二语言习得领域的相关性。其次,简要介绍了一些关于成年移民语境、外语语境和留学语境的实证研究。然后介绍了一项关于英语学生(n=83)在外语学习中对自己身份认知的实证研究结果。研究表明,大多数参与者意识到语言学习和身份之间的复杂关系,并意识到学习英语(以及其他外语)对他们的影响。英语为他们的生活提供了新的可能性,使他们能够与世界各地的人交流并与他们交朋友。他们对未来有着新的、有趣的前景。它影响了他们的个性,使他们对他人更加开放和宽容。英语知识赋予了学生权力、声望,以及在复杂社会关系不断变化的世界中生活和工作的机会。

The knowledge of English gives the students power, prestige, and opportunities to live and work in a changing world of complex social relations.","PeriodicalId":37040,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Practice of Second Language Acquisition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45236685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Erasmus+ exchange programme has become very popular, with the numbers of student sojourners growing each year. However, it was observed that not all students benefit equally from the study abroad (SA) experience (c.f. Kinginger, 2008, 2009; Marijuan & Sanz, 2018; Mitchell, Tracy-Ventura & McManus, 2017; Regan, Howard & Lemée, 2009). Consequently, the main aim of the present study was to have a closer look at various factors that might contribute to the development of the target language among two small groups of students that self-selected themselves to do their language teaching practicum abroad, as a part of the Erasmus+ mobility program (n=6), or to do it at the local schools in the country of their residence (n=5). Both groups were examined prior their departure and after their arrival with a battery of tests that included: Oxford Placement test, Self-reported proficiency questionnaire, Oral proficiency test based on Cambridge Advanced exam, Language Engagement Questionnaire, Multicultural Personality Questionnaire(MPQ), Big Five Personality Questionnaire and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue). Our findings demonstrated that the majority of the Erasmus+ mobility program students examined in this study showed some greater linguistic progress when it comes to grammar and speaking in comparison to the home stay students. However, there were two cases that failed to progress after the stay abroad experience. Further analyses and interviews showed that some other factors like attitudes, language engagement and satisfaction from the Erasmus experience might in fact influence and shape target language development while abroad. At the same time, it could be speculated that in the case of researched informants their progress in grammar and speaking could be assigned mostly to the amount and quality of the language input outside of the classroom setting.
伊拉斯谟+交流项目非常受欢迎,每年旅居学生的人数都在增加。然而,据观察,并非所有学生都能平等地从留学经历中受益(c.f.Kinginger,20082009;Marijuan和Sanz,2018;Mitchell、Tracy Ventura和McManus,2017;Regan、Howard和Lemée,2009)。因此,本研究的主要目的是在两小群学生中仔细研究可能有助于目标语言发展的各种因素,这两小群学生自行选择在国外进行语言教学实习,作为伊拉斯谟+流动计划的一部分(n=6),或在其居住国的当地学校进行(n=5)。两组在出发前和抵达后都接受了一系列测试,包括:牛津大学入学测试、自我报告能力问卷、基于剑桥高级考试的口语能力测试、语言参与问卷、多元文化人格问卷(MPQ),五大人格问卷和特质情绪智力问卷(TEIQue)。我们的研究结果表明,在这项研究中,大多数伊拉斯谟+流动项目的学生在语法和口语方面比寄宿学生表现出了更大的语言进步。然而,有两个案例在经历了留洋之后没有取得进展。进一步的分析和访谈表明,其他一些因素,如态度、语言参与度和伊拉斯谟经历的满意度,实际上可能会影响和塑造目标语言在国外的发展。同时,可以推测,在被调查的信息者的情况下,他们在语法和口语方面的进步主要取决于课堂外语言输入的数量和质量。
