 <div>CLIL is a pedagogical approach which has gained traction in different educational and geographical contexts as a key tool in language learning and teaching. After more than 25 years of implementation, we can assert that we have learned a great deal about what CLIL entails. However, it is also true that we still need to contextualise the approach in order to clearly delimit what CLIL has to offer in each setting. This is precisely the aim of this book. This volume focuses on CLIL in South American contexts. It identifies, clarifies and offers insights into issues related to its characterisation and implementation, as well as teacher education. With contributions from a prestigious array of scholars and practitioners from various parts of South America, it also highlights some of the achievements and challenges in the process of implementing CLIL in the region. Against the backdrop of South American contexts, this book aims to provide a useful and innovative lens through which policy makers, researchers and teachers will find significant implications for the development of CLIL.<br></div>

Language Awareness And Identity - Insights Via Dominant Language Constellation Approach

184,84€ + 10% CARD

 This volume offers a unique insight into multilingualism and sociolinguistic diversity employing the dominant language constellation (DLC) approach. How can novel research inform teaching practices? How do current theories account for multilingual reality in settings as diverse as countries of Western and Eastern Europe and Tunisia and Maghreb? The volume deals with issues of plurilingual identity of teachers and multilingual learners and examines the issues of foreign language teaching both in contexts perceived as monolingual and multilingual Drawing on the intersection of analytic categories such as language repertoire, translanguaging, visuality and narratives, it particularly emphasizes the connections between DLCs, language awareness and identity. The contributors demonstrate how formal language teaching can capitalize on the DLC paradigm and how teacher education programs can use it both as a framework to discuss and as a tool to enhance teacher education and professionaldevelopment.<div><br></div><div><p>This volume on DLC as an approach to exploring facets of language awareness and identity presents a very welcome contribution to the study of multilingualism as a complex and dynamic phenomenon. The studies stemming from a range of mainly educational settings in different countries will definitely enhance our thinking perspectives in an area of research with increasing interest. </p><p><i>Prof. Dr. Ulrike Jessner, University of Innsbruck (Austria) and University of Pannonia (Hungary)</i><i></i></p><br></div>

Developing Multilingual Writing - Agency, Audience, Identity

by Carol Rinnert e Hiroe Kobayashi

171,59€ + 10% CARD

 <p>With millions of people becoming multilingual writers in the globalized digital world, this book helps to empower writers to connect with their readers and project their identities effectively across languages, social contexts, and genres. In a series of closely-related studies that build on each other, we look comprehensively at how writers develop their ability to construct meaning for different audiences in multiple languages. This book, which draws on various approaches (including a social view of writing, multicompetence, adaptive transfer, complex systems theory, motivation, and translanguaging), contributes to on-going efforts to integrate differing approaches to multilingual writing research. This book focusses on how writer <i>agency</i> (control over text construction), <i>audience </i>awareness (ability to meet expectations of prospective readers), and writer <i>identity</i> (projection of image of the writer in the text) progress as multilingual writers gain more experience across languages.</p><p>The within-writer, cross-sectional text analysis (Chapters 2-5) examines 185 essays written in Japanese and English by eight groups of writers from novice to advanced (N=103), supplemented by insights from these writers’ reflections. We explore how they employ three kinds of text features (discourse types, metadiscourse, and self-representation<i>),</i> which relate to their developing <i>agency, audience</i>, and <i>writer identity</i> in their text construction, and propose a new model for writer voice construction based on those features. The four case studies (Chapters 6-9) focus on five university students and six professionals to examine closely how individual writers’ <i>agency, audience, and identity</i> are interrelated in their text construction in two or three languages and diverse genres, including academic and creative writing. The combined studies provide new insights into multilingual writing development by revealing the close interrelationship among these three principal aspects of writing across languages. They also demonstrate the writers’ multi-directional use of dynamic transfer (reuse and reshaping) for L1, L2, and L3 text construction, and the use of mixed languages L1/L2 or L1/L3 (translanguaging) for composing processes, in addition to the creative power of multilingual writers.</p><p>One significant contribution of this book is to provide models of innovative ways to analyze text and new directions for writing research that go beyond complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Categories and detailed examples of text features used for writer voice construction (e.g., specific characteristics of <i>Personal</i>, <i>Emergent</i>, and <i>Mature</i> <i>Voice</i>) are helpful for writing teachers and for developing writers to improve ways of conveying their own intended writer identity to the reader. The studies break new ground by extending our analysis of L2 writing to the same writers’ L1 and L3 writing and multiple genres. </p>

Learning Chinese In A Multilingual Space - An Ecological Perspective On Studying Abroad

by Linda Tsung e Peiru Tong

105,34€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book examines the benefits of an Australian in-country study (ICS) in China programme and explores ways to maximise the short-term ICS experience in a multilingual space. The book employs an ecological perspective which has seldom been used to examine the study abroad context. It emphasises the importance of the space itself as an arena of interaction, belonging and power, where conduct and modes of communication are often regulated by political authorities and societal expectations. Specifically, the book focuses on the following:</p><p>• the extent to which the ICS facilitated interaction in different settings</p><p>• the way in which interaction during ICS contributed to language learning</p><p>• the degree in which the interaction during ICS contributed to culture learning and</p><p>• the role of identity in the learning process in the ICS.</p><p>The main argument of the book is that while the ICS promoted multilingual learning space for in-class and out-of-class interactions, which further facilitated language and culture learning to a great extent, Australian students’ identities and self-concepts also played a core mediating role throughout individual learning trajectories.</p><p></p>
