ABSTRACT

Pop songs have been claimed to provide a noteworthy source of second language (L2) input. While listening to songs in English is one of the most commonly reported out-of-class activities among EFL learners, little research exists as to how different teaching approaches to the use of songs in the EFL class can enhance students’ vocabulary learning. The present study aims to investigate two different instructional approaches to the use of songs in the L2 class in order to learn how to maximise vocabulary learning through this input source. Two groups of grade 8 Italian EFL learners followed a short treatment that used English pop songs in different conditions, which differed in instructional focus (explicit vs. implicit). The results of the study suggest that although vocabulary significantly improved in both conditions, the explicit approach led to more durable gains.

摘要流行歌曲被认为是第二语言输入的重要来源。虽然听英语歌曲是英语学习者最常见的课外活动之一,但关于在英语课堂上使用歌曲的不同教学方法如何促进学生词汇学习的研究很少。本研究旨在探讨在二语课堂中使用歌曲的两种不同的教学方法,以了解如何通过这种输入源最大限度地提高词汇学习。两组八年级意大利语英语学习者在不同的教学重点(外显和内隐)不同的条件下接受了英语流行歌曲的简短治疗。研究结果表明,尽管在两种情况下词汇量都有显著提高,但显性方法带来的收获更持久。

Context is everything: reflections on CLIL in the UK 背景决定一切:对英国CLIL教学的反思

ABSTRACT Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), involving teaching one or more subjects through the medium of the foreign language, is widespread in Europe, but only offered in a sprinkling of UK schools. Sustainability has been a persistent issue since the 1970s. The focus here is on England but various issues will be familiar to colleagues in other parts of the UK. The article traces CLIL's sporadic development, initiatives taken to support it, and the distinctive challenges it faces. The implementation issues are quite different from those in mainland Europe, where successful CLIL is usually associated with conditions rarely encountered in the UK. CLIL in Europe is almost synonymous with teaching through the medium of English; no other language has this standing in the UK, with the exception of those areas where Gaelic- or Welsh-medium education is well established. The article considers how some form of CLIL might be implemented in the UK and ways of supporting it in the context of national policies. The author draws on his perspective as one who was present when significant initiatives were proposed in the European Union, the Council of Europe and the UK.
内容和语言综合学习(CLIL),即通过外语教学一门或多门学科,在欧洲很普遍,但只在英国的少数学校提供。自20世纪70年代以来,可持续性一直是一个持久的问题。这里的重点是英格兰,但各种问题对英国其他地区的同事来说是熟悉的。本文追溯了CLIL的零星发展、为支持它而采取的举措以及它所面临的独特挑战。实施的问题与欧洲大陆大不相同,在欧洲大陆,成功的CLIL通常与英国很少遇到的条件有关。CLIL在欧洲几乎是英语教学的代名词;在英国,除了那些以盖尔语或威尔士语为媒介的教育已经建立良好的地区之外,没有其他语言具有这种地位。本文考虑了如何在英国实施某种形式的CLIL以及在国家政策背景下支持它的方式。作者借鉴了他的观点,当欧盟,欧洲委员会和英国提出重大倡议时,他在场。

Translation in language teaching, pedagogical translation, and code-Switching: restructuring the boundaries 语言教学中的翻译、教学翻译与语码转换:边界的重构

ABSTRACT The gradual reintroduction of translation into the foreign language classroom in the last few decades has generated considerable interest among teachers and scholars. A renewed focus on translation as an aspect of language teaching has simultaneously originated from and resulted in the publication of theoretical and empirical studies as well as monographs that recognise ‘pedagogical translation’ as a beneficial and increasingly accepted practice. However, conceptual and terminological inconsistencies persist that blur the boundaries between the general idea of using translation in the language classroom and more specific practices that involve translation tasks (also known as ‘pedagogical translation’) or code-switching. The article addresses these terminological incongruities by exploring the impact of conceptualisations of translation in language education and, specifically, its use in pedagogical translation. The goal is to consider the plethora of concepts related to translation in language teaching (TILT) and to explore how they may be connected with the reconceptualisation of translation in language pedagogy. This will open up useful avenues for a more thorough incorporation of translation into foreign language education, particularly at the secondary and college level, and will propose future lines of research and pedagogical sound praxis.
近几十年来,翻译逐渐重新引入外语课堂,引起了教师和学者的极大兴趣。对翻译作为语言教学的一个方面的重新关注,同时源于并导致了理论和实证研究的出版,以及认识到“教学翻译”是一种有益的和越来越被接受的实践的专著。然而,概念和术语上的不一致仍然存在,模糊了在语言课堂上使用翻译的一般想法与涉及翻译任务(也称为“教学翻译”)或代码转换的更具体实践之间的界限。本文通过探讨翻译概念化在语言教育中的影响,特别是在教学翻译中的应用,来解决这些术语不一致的问题。目标是考虑与语言教学中翻译相关的过多概念,并探讨它们如何与语言教育学中翻译的重新概念化联系起来。这将为更彻底地将翻译纳入外语教育,特别是在中学和大学阶段,开辟有用的途径,并将为未来的研究和教学实践提出建议。

Little research has been carried out on the effect of task repetition on young learners’ negotiation of meaning (NoM) strategies and on pair dynamics. The present study aims to fill this gap by analysing the interaction of 60 dyads of third- and fourth-year primary English as a foreign language learners (8–9, 9–10 years old, respectively) while they perform communicative tasks and assessing whether task repetition has an impact on those constructs. The participants, with a beginner proficiency level established by standardised tests, completed different tasks in dyads at two testing times: at Time 1, all participants completed a spot-the-difference task. At Time 2, 21 dyads repeated exactly the same task, 16 dyads completed a similar task with a different content (procedural repetition group) and the last 23 dyads completed a guessing game. The video-recorded oral production was transcribed and codified for NoM strategies (clarification requests, confirmation and comprehension checks, self- and other-repetition, L1 use) and pair dynamics. Results indicate that, overall, there were no statistically significant differences between production at Time 1 and at Time 2 regarding NoM strategies. Regarding pair dynamics, task repetition seems to have a positive effect on collaborative patterns.
关于任务重复对青少年学习者意义协商策略和配对动态的影响的研究很少。本研究旨在通过分析60对三年级和四年级小学英语外语学习者(分别为8-9岁和9-10岁)在执行交际任务时的互动,并评估任务重复是否对这些构念产生影响,来填补这一空白。通过标准化测试确立了初学者熟练程度的参与者,在两个测试时间里完成了不同的任务:在时间1,所有参与者都完成了一个发现差异的任务。在时间2,21个二人组重复了完全相同的任务,16个二人组完成了内容不同的类似任务(程序重复组),最后23个二人组完成了一个猜谜游戏。录制的口头制作视频被转录和编纂,用于NoM策略(澄清要求、确认和理解检查、自我和他人重复、母语使用)和配对动态。结果表明,总体而言,时间1和时间2的生产在NoM策略方面没有统计学上的显著差异。关于配对动态,任务重复似乎对协作模式有积极影响。

The present paper explores and compares the receptive vocabulary sizes of two groups of learners of different native languages. One of the most widely used vocabulary size tests is the Vocabulary Levels Test designed by Nation. Some reservations have been raised in relation to the adequacy of the Vocabulary Levels Test to estimate the vocabulary size of learners with Romance languages. In order to examine this reservation, this paper sets out to describe and compare the vocabulary size estimates of two groups of learners with different mother tongues, Spanish and German. A total of 41 German and 41 Spanish native speakers participated in the study. They averaged between 9 and 10 years of age and attended the 4th grade of primary education. Proficiency level tests revealed that their English level was comparable. Analysis of the results of the Vocabulary Levels Test show that mean and median values are very similar between the two language groups and no significant differences could be found. Results are discussed in light of critical constraints on word knowledge and vocabulary acquisition such as age and word origin.
本文探讨并比较了两组不同母语学习者的接受性词汇量。最广泛使用的词汇量测试之一是国家设计的词汇水平测试。关于词汇水平测试是否足以估计罗曼语学习者的词汇量,有人提出了一些保留意见。为了检验这种保留,本文开始描述和比较两组不同母语的学习者,西班牙语和德语的词汇量估计。共有41名以德语和西班牙语为母语的人参与了这项研究。他们的平均年龄在9到10岁之间,上小学四年级。熟练程度测试显示,他们的英语水平相当。对词汇水平测试结果的分析表明,两个语言组的平均值和中位数非常相似,没有发现显著差异。结果讨论了单词知识和词汇习得的关键制约因素,如年龄和单词来源。

This study investigated the receptive vocabulary growth of advanced EFL learners in an English-medium degree programme. The study used the Vocabulary Size Test in a cross-sectional design to measure the vocabulary size of learners at various stages of study. The effect of word frequency on vocabulary development and the presence of an implicational scale among frequency levels were also investigated. The results of the study suggest that learners’ vocabularies expand by about 500 words a year. However, there is evidence for severe attrition in the final year. Frequency is a significant factor in receptive vocabulary development, but an implicational scale could not be established.

English and Swedish in CLIL student texts CLIL学生文本中的英语和瑞典语

This study investigates Swedish students' ability to produce the discourse of the subject history, in a situation where they had to demonstrate historical knowledge in written explanations, and where both English and Swedish are involved. The students attend a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) programme at the upper secondary school level. The study highlights the roles of both languages in CLIL, thus including both English and the L1 Swedish. The research questions concern language choice, field-specific lexis and genre. These variables are related to the teacher's assessment in terms of grading, in order to discover possible connections between linguistic choices on the part of the students and the degree of success in terms of grades. While the students had quite a lot of input in English during the history course, they mainly choose to write the exam in Swedish. The elements of English in the texts are primarily used for field-specific lexis. Texts with elements of English also tend to be slightly less successful than texts written in Swedish only. The overall achievements in this exam were quite low, even though the students used their strongest language. Few students display the significant linguistic resources needed in the production of successful historical explanations. Texts assessed with high grades represent content by means of linguistic choices that correspond to the typical patterns of the field, more than the texts with lower grades. The results confirm the importance of paying attention to both languages in CLIL education.
这项研究调查了瑞典学生在书面解释中展示历史知识的情况下,在英语和瑞典语都涉及的情况下,产生主题历史话语的能力。学生们在高中阶段参加内容和语言综合学习(CLIL)课程。该研究强调了两种语言在CLIL中的作用,因此包括英语和第一语言瑞典语。研究问题涉及语言选择、特定领域词汇和体裁。这些变量与教师在评分方面的评估有关,以便发现学生的语言选择与在评分方面的成功程度之间可能存在的联系。虽然学生在历史课上有相当多的英语输入,但他们主要选择用瑞典语写考试。文本中的英语元素主要用于特定字段的词汇。带有英语元素的文本也往往比只用瑞典语写的文本稍微不那么成功。这次考试的总体成绩很低,尽管学生们使用了他们最强烈的语言。很少有学生展示出成功的历史解释所需要的重要语言资源。分数高的文本比分数低的文本更多地通过与该领域的典型模式相对应的语言选择来代表内容。结果证实了在CLIL教学中注意两种语言的重要性。

The overall achievements in this exam were quite low, even though the students used their strongest language. Few students display the significant linguistic resources needed in the production of successful historical explanations. Texts assessed with high grades represent content by means of linguistic choices that correspond to the typical patterns of the field, more than the texts with lower grades. The results confirm the importance of paying attention to both languages in CLIL education.","PeriodicalId":46554,"journal":{"name":"Language Learning Journal","volume":"43 1","pages":"304 - 318"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09571736.2015.1053280","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59543936","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}

This article reports the results of two studies on the vocabulary growth of advanced learners of English as a foreign language in an English-medium degree programme. Growth in learners’ written receptive and productive vocabularies was investigated in one cross-sectional and one longitudinal study over three years. The effect of word frequency on vocabulary development and the growth in academic vocabulary were also investigated. The overall results of the two studies suggested that learners’ receptive vocabularies did not grow significantly, whereas the longitudinal data indicated expansion of productive vocabularies by about 10%. Both receptive and productive knowledge of academic vocabulary improved significantly in the longitudinal data. Frequency seemed to have a stable overall effect in vocabulary development. However, evidence for an implicational scale among the frequency levels was obtained only for the receptive test.
本文报道了两项关于英语为外语的高级学习者在英语媒介学位课程中词汇增长的研究结果。在一项为期三年的横断面研究和一项纵向研究中,研究了学习者书面接受性和生产性词汇的增长。研究还考察了词频对词汇发展和学术词汇增长的影响。两项研究的总体结果表明,学习者的接受性词汇量并没有显著增长,而纵向数据显示,学习者的生产性词汇量增长了约10%。在纵向数据中,学术词汇的接受性知识和生产性知识都有显著提高。频率似乎对词汇发展有稳定的总体影响。然而,在频率水平之间的隐含尺度的证据仅在接受性测试中获得。
