IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT L2 LEARNING – THE IMPACT OF CERTAIN FACTORS

IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT L2 LEARNING – THE IMPACT OF CERTAIN FACTORS

Author(s): Mariana Gotseva / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: implicit/explicit knowledge; implicit/explicit learning; SLA; factors affecting SLA

Learners of L2 in foreign learning settings receive a different type of input, in terms of quantity and quality, and have a much more limited exposure to the target language. Having taken this into consideration, the research presented in this article attempted to analyse the outcomes of the L2 learning process which takes place in such conditions through the perspective of implicit /explicit learning and implicit / explicit knowledge dichotomy. It seems justified by the fact that the conditions in which L2 learning happens in a foreign language classroom do not resemble, even remotely, the naturalistic learning in immersion environment. The former presupposes mostly explicit learning and acquisition of explicit knowledge, which might or might not turn into implicit knowledge, depending on the length of learning and exposure to L2, whereas the latter presupposes implicit (L1 children-like) learning and acquisition of implicit knowledge, although it might be supplemented by explicit knowledge as a result of education in formal environment. The findings showed that the most significant factors which have an impact on learners’ performance on tests measuring implicit knowledge (TGJT and OIT) tend to be the length of exposure to L2 in environment where it is used as native and the starting age of learning, followed by length of learning and type of input, which were also found statistically significant. Learners who perform better on tests measuring implicit knowledge also demonstrate higher levels of proficiency, which points to the fact that an L2 is best learned through acquiring implicit knowledge.

WAS IST DAS ZIEL EINES FREMDSPRACHENUNTERRICHTS? UND WANN KANN MAN SAGEN, DASS MAN EINE FREMDSPRACHE BEHERRSCHT?

Author(s): Viera Lagerová / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: key competencies; language skills; language tools; the European reference framework; production; reception; interaction

In this paper, the author focuses mainly on foreign language teaching and its objectives, which serve not only the mediation of the basics of a foreign language, but it also has an educational mission. It is therefore appropriate that in foreign language teaching tasks are given that take into account not only cognitive but also social, emotional and motivational aspects of acquiring a foreign language involved extensively in the development of key competencies of pupils. General competences are those which are characteristic of the language, but which are necessary for the different activities as e.g. to purposely gain new knowledge and skills, to understand the intention of the specified task, to use the acquired language actively and frequently, to supplement their knowledge and develop language skills, to interconnect them with the knowledge, to systematize them and use for its further development and real life, to evaluate their progress critically, to receive feedback and be aware of the possibility of their development, to use available materials for self-study and so on.

PUBLIC OPINION IN BULGARIA ON THE SUBJECT OF CONTEMPORARY MIRGATION

ОБЩЕСТВЕНИ НАГЛАСИ В БЪЛГАРИЯ ОТНОСНО СЪВРЕМЕННАТА МИГРАЦИЯ

Author(s): Plamen Pachev / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Migrants; refugees; content and specifics of the integrational fluxes; conflict "North-South"; Islam; inquiry of the attitudes of the Bulgarian society via-a-vs the migration wave from Asia and Africa

The article deals with issues, associated with the increased migration flux from Third World poor and/or warring nations into Europe and more particularly the richest member states of the European Union. A distinction is made in the composition of these fluxes, with the stipulation that the proportion of genuine migrants-victims of dictatorships and/or warfare and those seeking a higher quality of life and social integration in the industrial world, is more or less one in three. The genesis of the increased migration trends in individual countries in Asia and Africa lately as a result of the "democratization models" introduced by the West under the auspices of the so called "Arab spring" are dealt in brief. The data from a inquiry into the Bulgarian attitudes towards the refugee and migration issues, conducted by the Institute of Economics and international relations, financed by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, are analyzed. The prevailing negative attitudes in the country are discussed and the reasons for non-acceptance of refugees and migrants based on two underlying factors - the uncertainty of the Bulgarian people as to the capacity of the economy and society to finance the integration of the emigrants in the economy and society of the country, and the lack of willingness on the part of other ethnic groups and more particularly the Islamic tradition to adopt the life-style and values of the host country - Bulgaria. The article concludes with the author's reflections on the subject.
