This book presents the background to the current shift in language education towards action-oriented/action-based teaching, and provides a theorization of the Action-oriented Approach (AoA). It discusses the concepts and theories that paved the way for the AoA and explores their relevance for the way language education is conceived and implemented in the classroom. In the process, it revisits the concept of competence and discusses the dynamic notions of mediation and plurilingualism. The authors explain the way in which the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its recent update, the CEFR Companion Volume, broaden the scope of language education, in particular in relation to the actional turn. The book provides scholars and practitioners with a research-informed description of the AoA, explains its implications for curriculum planning, teaching and assessment, and elaborates on its pedagogical implications.

The Routledge Handbook of Plurilingual Language Education is the first comprehensive publication on plurilingualism, offering a multidimensional reflection on the nature, scope, and potential of plurilingualism in language education and society. Authored by a range of internationally recognized experts, the Handbook provides an overview of key perspectives on plurilingualism in a complementary range of fields. After a comprehensive introduction to the concept itself, 24 chapters are organized in six parts, each examining plurilingualism through a different lens. The Handbook spans historical, philosophical, and sociological dimensions, examines cognitive and neuroscientific implications, and the limitations of boundaries before moving to a pragmatic perspective: How is plurilingual language education developing in different contexts around the world? How can it contribute to language revitalization? How can it be expected to develop in education, digital spaces, and society as a whole? Written for an international audience, this handbook is an indispensable reference tool for scholars in education and applied linguistics, educators, graduate and post-graduate students, and policy makers.

As Claude Lévi-Strauss wrote in his book, La pensée sauvage (Paris,1960): “biographical and anecdotal history … is low-powered history, which is not intelligible in itself, and only becomes so when it is transferred en bloc to a form of history of a higher power than itself … The historian’s relative choice … is always confined to the choice between history which teaches more and explains less and history which explains more and teaches less.” This book oscillates between analysis, which tries to explain what man is, and anecdote, which tries to teach what he is capable of becoming. What better approach to understanding patriarchy, beyond learning the formal dictionary definitions of this term, than by examining the richly diverse descriptions of gender relationships found in the following chapters? It is the hope of these authors that the recognition of national differences and gender differences will provide new vantage points from which we may gain wider perspectives on our own prejudices and thereby find fulfillment of our aspirations to become more fully human.

Classrooms are increasingly multicultural in their social composition, and students are increasingly connected, through digital media, to local and global networks. However, pedagogy has failed to take full advantage of the opportunities these resources represent. Multilingual Digital Storytelling draws attention to the interfaces between learner engagement, creativity and critical digital literacy, as well as addressing the multilingual within the multiliteracies framework. Addressing a significant gap in the field of multiliteracies by focusing on multilingualism, this book explores new digital spaces for language learning and methods of extending understandings of youth literacy in an increasingly interconnected world. Drawing on innovative and multi-site research projects based in mainstream and community schools in London and overseas, this book discusses how young people become engaged creatively and critically with literacy by demonstrating how digital storytelling can be used as a tool for language development. The book begins by considering linguistic, cultural, cognitive and social dimensions of language learning from a theoretical perspective, whilst the second part focuses on practical case studies that reflect and illustrate these theoretical principles. Offering a powerful new perspective on multiliteracies pedagogy, Multilingual Digital Storytelling will appeal to researchers and academics in the fields of education, applied linguistics, sociology and youth and community studies. It will also be an invaluable resource for teachers, teacher educators, curriculum planners and policymakers.

Seminar paper de l’année 2009 dans le domaine Didactique du français - Grammaire, Style, Méthode de travail, note: 1,5, Pädagogische Hochschule Karlsruhe (Fakultät II), cours: TICE, langue: Français, résumé: La modernité nous a apporté une grande diversité de nouvelles technologies qui nous permettent de nous simplifier la vie quotidienne dans tous les domaines. Les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) affectent les activités dans notre société et accélèrent en même temps les échanges d’informations en par-ticulier dans le secteur scolaire. Pour pouvoir suivre le développement technologique il est absolument nécessaire d’instaurer un programme sur l’utilisation des technolo-gies dans les collèges. Les élèves d’aujourd’hui doivent savoir travailler sur un ordi-nateur, avec des programmes et surtout avec l’Internet. La connaissance de ce sa-voir-faire ouvre dans le futur de nouvelles portes pour les élèves. C’est la raison pour laquelle l’intervention de ces médias dans le cours devient de plus en plus impor-tante. Mais qu’est-ce que nous comprenons par “nouveaux médias” et que pouvons-nous faire avec ces derniers dans le cours de langue étrangère ? L’étude suivante traite de l’enjeu des TIC dans l’enseignement et vise les classes de FLE (Français Langue Etrangère) en particulier. La première partie pré-sente la manière dont la didactique du FLE peut profiter de l’intervention des médias ainsi que les exigences de ces derniers dans le programme européen de l’éducation et le programme pédagogique de l’Allemagne. La deuxième partie examine un site Internet spécialisé en FLE et propose une première éventualité d’utilisation dans une 8ème classe. Dans la suite, nous faisons également des remarques sur l’utilisation du site dans les cours en rassemblant des critiques positives et négatives. [...]

Les Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (TIC) sont désormais partie intégrante de notre quotidien. L'enseignement, et notamment l'enseignement des langues, se trouve donc confronté à l'intégration de ces technologies dans ses pratiques. Le présent ouvrage se propose donc de poser les enjeux d'une telle intégration et de les analyser. A partir d'un constat de la réalité des pratiques, l'auteur propose non seulement des repères méthodologiques mais aussi des pistes pour réussir au mieux l'intégration des TIC à l'enseignement d'une langue étrangère.
