Seminar paper de l’année 2008 dans le domaine Didactique du français - Pédagogie, Linguistique, note: 1,0, Universität zu Köln (Romanisches Seminar), cours: Französisch Fachdidaktik, langue: Français, résumé: Depuis quelques années il y a dans l’enseignement des langues en Europe un changement qui ouvre le chemin au plurilinguisme. L’Union Européene en tant que « pêle-mêle » des langues et des cultures « recommande qu’autant de citoyens que possible apprennent au moins deux langues étrangères européennes vivantes » . Depuis les didacticiens européens ont pour but de créer des méthodes d’apprentissage efficaces afin de maîtriser plusieurs langues étrangères. La méthode directe qui déterminait pendant le siècle dernier l’enseignement des langues à l’école – cette méthode était basée sur l’idée d’un strict unilinguisme - est peu à peu remplacée par de nouveaux concepts de didactique favorisant le plurilinguisme. Or, il ne s’agit pas d’envisager « une compétence maximale en tel ou tel idiome, mais à créer – en plus – une compétence fondamentale d’apprentissage en matière de langues étrangères en général. » Dans ce travail je vais présenter l’importance actuelle et les perspectives de la didactique du plurilinguisme à la base de textes scientifiques dont la plupart date des dernières cinq ans. Je vais mettre l’accent en particulier sur l’enseignement du français langue étrangère (dorénavant FLE) et son rôle dans le contexte d’une didactique du plurilinguisme. Puis le deuxième chapitre de ce travail présentera les idées de la didactique susmentionnée. Dans les chapitres 3 et 4 on verra que l’intercompréhension occupe une place primordiale dans l’enseignement plurilingue et que le rôle de la langue française est dans ce contexte très particulier. Le chapitre 5 analysera l’importance actuelle de la didactique du plurilinguisme dans les cours de FLE comportant des nouvelles impulsions, des perspectives, mais aussi des critiques et dangers.

Réunit des articles autour du plurilinguisme en Europe. Le présent document analyse la coexistence de plusieurs langues selon les pays tout en analysant les modalités liés à l'apprentissage. L'auteur analyse le rôle de l'école, de la famille, des politiques linguistiques nationales ou supranationales face au situations de plurilinguisme.

Cet ouvrage centre son attention sur la figure de l'acteur en contexte mondialisé, sous un angle large et éclaté, celui de l'apprenant de langue(s) dans et hors les murs d'un système d'enseignement, celui de l'étudiant international dans et hors les frontières, celui de l'enseignant créateur de dispositifs dans et hors de la classe, celui du concepteur de manuels et du traducteur, médiateurs au plus près des langues et des cultures mais surtout de leurs apprenants ou de leurs lecteurs.

The Routledge Encyclopedia of Language Teaching and Learning is an authoritative reference dealing with all aspects of this increasingly important field of study. Offering a comprehensive range of articles on contemporary language teaching and its history, it has been produced specifically for language teaching professionals and as a reference work for academic studies at postgraduate level. In this new edition, every single entry has been reviewed and updated with reference to new developments and publications. Coverage has been expanded to reflect new technological, global and academic developments, with particular attention to areas such as online and distance learning, teacher and learner cognition, testing, assessment and evaluation, global English and teacher education. Themes and disciplines covered include: Methods and materials, including new technologies and materials development Contexts and concepts, such as mediation, risk-taking in language learning and intercomprehension Influential figures from the early days of language teaching to the contemporary Related disciplines, such as psychology, anthropology and corpus linguistics It covers the teaching of specific languages, including Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and African languages, as well as English, French, German and Spanish. There are thirty five overview articles dealing with issues such as communicative language teaching, early language learning, teacher education and syllabus and curriculum design. A further 160 entries focus on topics such as bilingualism, language laboratories and study abroad. Numerous shorter items examine language and cultural institutions, professional associations and acronyms. Multiple cross-references enable the user to browse from one entry to another, and there are suggestions for further reading. Written by an international team of specialists, the Routledge Encyclopedia of Language Teaching and Learning is an invaluable resource and reference manual for anyone with a professional or academic interest in the subject.

This volume provides the first comprehensive reference work in English on the French language in all its facets. It offers a wide-ranging approach to the rich, varied, and exciting research across multiple subfields, with seven broad thematic sections covering the structures of French; the history of French; axes of variation; French around the world; French in contact with other languages; second language acquisition; and French in literature, culture, arts, and the media. Each chapter presents the state of the art and directs readers to canonical studies and essential works, while also exploring cutting-edge research and outlining future directions. The Oxford Handbook of the French Language serves both as a reference work for people who are curious to know more about the French language and as a starting point for those carrying out new research on the language and its many varieties. It will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students as well as established scholars, whether they are specialists in French linguistics or researchers in a related field looking to learn more about the language. The diversity of frameworks, approaches, and scholars in the volume demonstrates above all the variety, vitality, and vibrancy of work on the French language today.

Built around the concept of linguistic and cultural plurality, this book defines language as an instrument of action and symbolic power. Plurality is conceived here as : a complex array of voices, perspectives and approaches that seeks to preserve the complexity of the multilingual and multicultural enterprise, including language learning and teaching ; a coherent system of relationships among various languages, research traditions and research sites that informs qualitative methods of inquiry into multilingualism and its uses in everyday life ; a view of language as structured sociohistorical object, observable from several simultaneous spatiotemporal standpoints, such as that of daily interactions or that which sustains the symbolic power of institutions. This book is addressed to teacher trainers, young researchers, decision makers, teachers concerned with the role of languages in the evolution of societies and educational systems. It aims to elicit discussion by articulating practices, field observations and analyses based on a multidisciplinary conceptual framework.

The purpose of this book is to present recent studies in the field of multilingualism and L3, bringing together contributions from an international group of specialists from Austria, Canada, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and United States. The main focuses of the articles are three: language acquisition, language learning and teaching. A collection of theoretical and empirical articles from scholars of multilingualism and language acquisition makes the book a significant resource as the papers present a wide perspective from main theories to current issues, reflecting new trends in the field. The authors focus on the heterogeneity and complexity that characterize third language acquisition, multilingual learning and teaching. As the issues addressed in this book intersect, it represents an asset and therefore the texts will be of great relevance for the scientific community. Part I presents different topics of L3 acquisition, such as syntax, phonology, working memory and selective attention, and lexicon. Part II comprises texts that show how the research on language acquisition informs pedagogical issues. For instance, the role of the knowledge of previous languages in the teaching of L3, the attitudes of multilingual teachers to plurilingual approaches, and the benefits of crosslinguistic pedagogy versus classroom monolingual bias. In sequence, Part III consists of texts on individual learning strategies, such as motivation and attitudes, crosslinguistic awareness, and students’ perceptions about teachers’ “plurilingual nonnativism”. All these chapters include several different languages in contact in an acquisition/learning context: Basque, English, French, German, Italian, Ladin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
