ABSTRACTThis study investigates the relationship between identification with the local territory, language attitudes and language proficiency in young immigrants in Catalonia, a region in Spain. The aims of the study are to examine how identification with the local territory affects attitudes and proficiency in languages, and whether language attitudes have a mediating effect on these relationships. The study used a sample of 543 students from the three main immigrant groups in Catalonia. Multigroup path analysis was performed. The results showed that identification with the local territory favoured attitudes to, and proficiency in, the language associated with that territory while disadvantaging the other language. However, the effect that identification with the local territory had on the level of language proficiency depended on the mediating effect of language attitudes. These findings help to explain why young immigrants’ acquisition of language proficiency varies, and they highlight the facilitating or attenuating roles in the process of language acquisition of identification with the local territory and language attitudes.KEYWORDS: Identification with the local territorylanguage attitudeslanguage proficiencysecond language acquisitionpath analysis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under Grants EDU2017-82479-R & IJCI-2016-28250; and Agency for Management of University and Research Grants – AGAUR of the Government of Catalonia under Grants 2017 SGR 322 and 2020 FI SDUR 00172.
摘要本研究探讨西班牙加泰罗尼亚地区青年移民的地域认同、语言态度和语言能力之间的关系。本研究的目的是研究对当地领土的认同如何影响语言态度和语言熟练程度，以及语言态度是否对这些关系有中介作用。这项研究使用了来自加泰罗尼亚三个主要移民群体的543名学生的样本。进行多组路径分析。结果表明，对当地领土的认同有利于对与该领土有关的语言的态度和熟练程度，而不利于其他语言。然而，地域认同对语言熟练程度的影响取决于语言态度的中介作用。这些发现有助于解释为什么年轻移民的语言能力习得存在差异，并强调了对当地领土的认同和语言态度在语言习得过程中的促进或减弱作用。关键词:地域认同、语言态度、语言熟练程度、第二语言习得路径分析披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。本研究由西班牙经济和竞争力部资助，资助项目为EDU2017-82479-R & IJCI-2016-28250;以及加泰罗尼亚政府大学和研究资助管理机构(AGAUR)，资助金额为2017 SGR 322和2020 FI SDUR 00172。

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the longitudinal development of language attitudes towards Catalan and Spanish over a five-year period in the transition from primary to secondary education of a sample of students (N = 1,143) in Catalonia and Aragon. Two research questions were investigated: (1) How do language attitudes develop over time? and (2) How do individual and environmental variables contribute to the longitudinal development of language attitudes? The results from a sociolinguistic questionnaire showed that the participants demonstrated positive (for Catalan) and neutral (for Spanish) language attitudes. Regarding their longitudinal development, the findings indicate that the attitudes towards Catalan developed from positive to neutral. These attitudes developed significantly during the transition from primary to secondary and within secondary. Attitudes towards Spanish stayed neutral but significantly decreased over time between primary and secondary education. Results from longitudinal mixed models showed that the variables that accounted the most for attitude differences were environmental, which included the language used in the participant’s social network, at home, and with peers. These results are discussed in relation to the development of language attitudes and the impact of individual and environmental factors.KEYWORDS: Language attitudessocial psychologyCatalan sociolinguisticslongitudinal studies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación of the Spanish government.

ABSTRACTThis study examines how a teacher educator perceives and enacts translanguaging to humanise teacher education in an online English-medium instruction (EMI) course in China. Drawing on multiple sources of data, including classroom observations and the post-course interview, the findings reveal a set of translanguaging strategies, which helped the teacher educator humanise the students, field of knowledge, as well as himself in the online course. The findings enrich the existing understanding about the intertwined and mutually supportive relationship between translanguaging and humanising pedagogy. In particular, the study shows that when translanguaging is used in an embodied, emergent, and interactive manner, it can create a humanising space to support students’ content learning and whole-person development. The paper concludes with a clarion call for humanising teaching and teacher education through translanguaging in increasingly globalised and multilingual classrooms.KEYWORDS: English-medium instructionhumanising pedagogyonline teachingteacher educationtranslanguaging AcknowledgementThis article is supported by a start-up research grant [SRG2020-00028-FED] of the University of Macau as well as the Education Fund of the Macao SAR Government (Ref no.

Kazakhstan has made remarkable strides forward in internationalisation of its higher education by adopting a trilingual education policy, joining the Bologna Process, cooperation with foreign universities, and academic mobility. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of English medium instruction (EMI) programmes offered by Kazakhstani universities. However, despite the growing popularity of EMI, there is very little empirical evidence on how EMI is received in Kazakhstan. Using a qualitative research design, this study investigated graduate students’ and instructors’ perceptions and experiences of EMI in three purposefully selected universities in Kazakhstan. The data collected through semi-structured interviews revealed that EMI, in general, is seen as a prestige and high social status, a passport that facilitates entry to universities and job markets around the globe, and a pedagogical tool. However, the data also explored that EMI is a factor that creates inequalities and hardships, causing stress and anxiety in students. There are also concerns over the way the EMI policy is implemented on the ground, indicating a gap between policy aspirations and implementation that can be witnessed in many other countries around the world.
