The present study explores the process of becoming a primary level teacher of Irish, the official yet a minority language in Ireland. Since all primary level teachers must teach Irish, becoming a primary teacher in Ireland is bound up in complex ways with the process of becoming a teacher of a minority language and with personal attitudes to, and views on, the language itself. The current study analyses similarities and differences in views relating to teachers’ role in promoting the language, as well as issues in proficiency in the language, at the beginning and end of initial teacher education. Also examined is the extent to which above-average self-reported proficiency in Irish influences the experience of teaching Irish. Data is derived from responses to closed and supplementary open-ended questionnaire items administered to two different groups of pre-service teachers: at the beginning (n=75) and the end of initial teacher education (n=91), and is supplemented with data from interviews conducted with a subgroup of Group 2 (n=30). Data from this mixed methods study show that changes occur in the way teachers conceive of their future roles as teachers of Irish, and reveal the need for more support in aspects of their role such as nurturing positive attitudes to Irish amongst children and a desire for shared responsibility in promoting the language more generally.
本研究探讨了成为爱尔兰语初级教师的过程,爱尔兰语是爱尔兰的官方语言,也是少数民族语言。由于所有小学教师都必须教授爱尔兰语,成为爱尔兰的小学教师与成为少数民族语言教师的过程以及个人对语言本身的态度和看法有着复杂的联系。目前的研究分析了在初级教师教育开始和结束时,与教师在促进语言方面的作用以及语言熟练度问题有关的观点的异同。此外,还考察了高于平均水平的自我报告的爱尔兰语熟练程度对爱尔兰语教学体验的影响程度。数据来源于对两组不同的职前教师进行的封闭式和补充性开放式问卷项目的回答:在教师初始教育开始时(n=75)和结束时(n=91),并补充了对第2组分组(n=30)进行的访谈数据。这项混合方法研究的数据表明,教师对其未来爱尔兰语教师角色的设想发生了变化,并揭示了在其角色方面需要更多支持的必要性,例如培养儿童对爱尔兰语的积极态度,以及在更广泛地推广爱尔兰语方面分担责任的愿望。

Researchers have increasingly been interested in the complex and dynamic character of motivation. Recent studies point out the complex fluctuation of motivation in a situated perspective, as in a language classroom. However, little is known on how motivation evolves in out-of-class contexts, as in advising in language learning context. The present paper aims to explore the dynamics of motivation to learn English of an advisee. Data of this longitudinal case study were collected through a motivational grid combined with advisor’s diaries and an in-depth interview, which were analyzed following the interpretative phenomenological analysis procedures. Results revealed that task complexity, tiredness, sense of competence, teachers and peers contributed to the fluctuation of the participant’s motivation.
研究人员对动机的复杂性和动态性越来越感兴趣。最近的研究指出,从一个情境的角度来看,比如在语言课堂上,动机的复杂波动。然而,在课外环境中,比如在语言学习环境中提供建议时,动机是如何演变的,我们知之甚少。本文旨在探讨学生英语学习动机的动态。本纵向个案研究的资料是透过动机网格、导师日记及深度访谈收集,并依解释性现象学分析程序进行分析。结果表明,任务复杂性、疲劳程度、能力感、教师和同伴对被试动机的波动有影响。

A Pedagogical Attempt to Promote Japanese College EFL Learners’ Self-Growth 促进日本大学英语学习者自我成长的教育尝试
IF 0.8 Q4 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2019-03-01 DOI: 10.37237/100105
M. Kanaoka
Drawing on Ushioda’s (2009) L2 motivation theory “a person-in-context relational view (PCRV)”, this study provides relevant ELT methodology utilizing a semester-long core English course for Japanese college EFL learners (N = 63), involving the underpinnings of spirituality (e.g., Baker, 2003). The language instruction aimed at the organic integration of identity, inner spirituality, and relevant L2 practice and self-expressive L2 use, all related to successful self-development of the EFL learners. The objectives were three-fold: to examine (1) the effects of the employed teaching methodology, (2) the emergence of relevant L2 learning methods, and (3) the enhancement of self- and identity-focused L2 use capabilities. These points were analyzed respectively with focus on the aspects of: (a) PCRV, (b) spirituality, and (c) target language acquisition (TLA) for an authentic self-expressiveness. Four self-focused stages and spirituality-laden tasks were administered, and relevant questionnaires were prepared. The research findings of t-tests for pre- and post- collected data (Weeks 1 and 15) yielded significant results for (1), (2), and (3) with respect to the three aspects. The participants’ open-ended statements (Week 15) reported perceptible self-growth and relevant L2 practice, including positive self-image as a person, followed by the role of English and new impressions of the English language.
本研究借鉴了Ushioda(2009)的二语动机理论“语境中的人-关系观(PCRV)”,为日本大学英语学习者(N=63)提供了相关的英语教学方法,该方法利用了为期一学期的核心英语课程,涉及精神的基础(例如,Baker,2003)。语言教学旨在将身份、内在精神、相关的二语实践和自我表达的二语使用有机地结合起来,所有这些都与英语学习者的成功自我发展有关。目的有三个:考察(1)所采用的教学方法的效果,(2)相关二语学习方法的出现,以及(3)增强以自我和身份为中心的二语使用能力。分别从以下几个方面对这些观点进行了分析:(a)PCRV,(b)精神性,和(c)真实自我表达的目标语言习得(TLA)。管理了四个以自我为中心的阶段和充满灵性的任务,并编制了相关的问卷。收集前和收集后数据(第1周和第15周)的t检验研究结果在(1)、(2)和(3)三个方面产生了显著结果。参与者的开放式陈述(第15周)报告了可感知的自我成长和相关的二语实践,包括作为一个人的积极自我形象,其次是英语的作用和对英语的新印象。

Exploring Third-Age Foreign Language Learning from the Well-being Perspective: Work in Progress 从幸福感角度探讨三年级外语学习:研究进展
IF 0.8 Q4 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2019-03-01 DOI: 10.37237/100107
D. Matsumoto
The third age in the life of many people in developed countries is considered to be a culmination; time for personal achievement and fulfilment after retirement. While much discussion is focused on the challenges of an ageing society, there are also opportunities. Popularity of language courses among third-agers, who do not seek further career advancement nor wish to live abroad, indicates that there are other aspects of learning a foreign language than attaining linguistic proficiency. This qualitative study will investigate third-agers’ perceptions, behaviours and emotions experienced when learning a foreign language, and how such experience contributes to their well-being. Through the lens of positive psychology, especially by exploring the concept of savouring, this study will aim to gain insights into how third-agers conceptualize their learning experience, what their savouring capacities are, and what impact these have on their overall well-being. First, an in-depth interview was conducted with a senior lifelong language learner. In the study that will follow, more data will be collected in a snowball fashion through personal connections.
在发达国家,许多人的第三个年龄被认为是人生的巅峰;退休后个人成就和实现的时间。虽然很多讨论都集中在老龄化社会的挑战上,但也存在机遇。语言课程在既不寻求进一步的职业发展也不希望在国外生活的三岁青少年中很受欢迎,这表明学习一门外语除了获得语言能力之外还有其他方面。这项定性研究将调查三岁青少年在学习外语时的感知、行为和情绪,以及这些经历如何有助于他们的幸福感。通过积极心理学的视角,特别是通过探索品味的概念,本研究旨在深入了解三岁青少年如何概念化他们的学习经历,他们的品味能力是什么,以及这些对他们的整体幸福感有什么影响。首先,我们对一位资深终身语言学习者进行了深度访谈。在接下来的研究中,更多的数据将通过个人关系以滚雪球的方式收集。

Longitudinal Trajectories of Emotions in Four Dimensions Through Language Advisory Sessions 通过语言咨询会议在四个维度上的情绪纵向轨迹
IF 0.8 Q4 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2019-03-01 DOI: 10.37237/100106

Through advising in language learning, this study describes two Japanese secondary school students’ (Ai and Yu: both pseudonyms) longitudinal trajectories of socioculturally mediated emotions in four dimensions. To investigate types of emotions, the research integrates multiple qualitative methods and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, thus acknowledging both contextually complex and longitudinally dynamic aspects of emotions. Throughout a year of 19 advisory sessions, the amount of time spent was 1,263 minutes (Ai’s 12 sessions = 891 minutes; Yu’s 7 sessions = 372 minutes), and the number of emotional incidences identified was 358 (201 for Ai; 157 for Yu). Among multiple findings, the most notable was that both participants experienced convergence of emotions: the one process from diversified to less diversified emotions was caused by longitudinal dynamics of emotions in Ai’s case and by contextual complexity of emotions in Yu’s case. The study concludes by suggesting a tentative four-dimensional model of emotions to capture trajectories of advisees’ emotions from multiple perspectives. This model can help advisors to understand advisees’ emotionality and, therefore, to implement emotional support appropriately and continuously.
通过对语言学习的建议,本研究从四个维度描述了两名日本中学生(Ai和Yu均为化名)社会文化中介情绪的纵向轨迹。为了调查情绪的类型,该研究结合了多种定性方法和普卢奇克的情绪轮,从而承认了情绪的情境复杂和纵向动态方面。在一年的19次咨询会议中,花费的时间为1263分钟(艾的12次会议=891分钟;余的7次会议=372分钟),确定的情绪发生次数为358次(艾201次;余157次)。在多项研究结果中,最值得注意的是,两位参与者都经历了情绪的趋同:从多样化到不太多样化的情绪的一个过程是由艾的情绪纵向动态和余的情绪情境复杂性引起的。该研究最后提出了一个尝试性的四维情绪模型,从多个角度捕捉被咨询者的情绪轨迹。该模型可以帮助顾问了解被咨询人的情绪,从而适当、持续地实施情绪支持。

There has been a widespread utilization of the English language in Saudi Arabia, due to which it is necessary for Saudi citizens to gain an adequate grip on this language. This study aimed to conduct a comparative evaluation between the writing strategies and writing performance shown by Saudi EFL students. Seventy-four female undergraduates between 21 and 25 years and having Arabic as their first language were recruited for this study. The writing samples of the participants were typed into the computer so that no inconsistency takes place based on the students’ writing skills by the researcher. Descriptive statistics were then used to ascertain the level of strategy use of the participants. These students were divided into two groups, based on high and low writing proficiencies. It was found that there was no significant difference in writing performance of these students. The students, who demonstrated a higher level of writing proficiency while writing stood at a percentage of 47.3%; whereas, students demonstrating a low level of writing proficiency stood at a percentage of 44.6%. Furthermore, most of the students used drafting strategies as compared to ‘before-writing’ strategies. More frequent use of ‘before-writing’ strategies is encouraged. Further research is needed regarding the relationship between writing strategy application and the writing performance of these learners
沙特阿拉伯广泛使用英语,因此沙特公民有必要充分掌握英语。本研究旨在对沙特EFL学生的写作策略和写作表现进行比较评价。本研究招募了74名年龄在21至25岁之间、以阿拉伯语为第一语言的女性本科生。研究人员将参与者的写作样本输入计算机,这样就不会出现基于学生写作技能的不一致。然后使用描述性统计数据来确定参与者的策略使用水平。根据写作能力的高低,这些学生被分为两组。研究发现,这些学生的写作成绩并没有显著差异。学生在写作时表现出较高的写作水平,占47.3%;而写作水平较低的学生占44.6%。此外,与“写作前”策略相比,大多数学生使用了起草策略。鼓励更频繁地使用“写作前”策略。关于写作策略的应用与这些学习者的写作表现之间的关系,还需要进一步的研究
