ASSESSMENT THROUGHOUT THE METHODOLOGY CURRICULUM

Author(s): Olena Bevz / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The article deals with the forms of assessment, recommended by New Methodology Curriculum designed within the joint project of Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and British Council Ukraine ‘New Generation School Teacher’. The new approaches to training future English language teachers suggests changes not only in the content of Methodology course, but also in approaches to teaching, that are intended to promote high levels of interaction and student involvement in their own learning processes. These consequently implies the alteration of traditional forms of assessment aimed at checking theoretical knowledge of the discipline rather than practical skills needed for the profession of a teacher. So, assessment tasks are designed to reinforce learning throughout the programme. Each module has specified outcomes, assessed by a combination of stand-alone assignments and portfolios including two or more assignments. Final assessment is based on school practice as well as in-course assignments and qualification paper defence.

DEFINING ‘METHOD’ IN THE POST-METHOD ERA

Author(s): Anca Cehan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper aims to raise the English teachers’ awareness of the terminological ambiguities and the loose use of several common TEFL words such as “method”, “approach”, “design”, “technique”, “procedure”, “strategy”, “methodology”, and others. The efforts that have been made in an attempt to clarify them are presented in connection with the models proposed by E. M. Antony (1963), W. F. Mackey (1965), J. C. Richards and T. S. Rodgers (1982), H. H. Stern (1983), and B. Kumaravadivelu (2008). The ambiguities and overlaps found in these models are pointed out, and implications for the practitioners’ condition are suggested.

THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM: MAKING YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO ENHANCE STUDENTS’ LEARNING

Author(s): Viorica Condrat / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The article introduces the notion of the flipped classroom, focusing on the benefits it can bring into the English language classroom. It presents the preliminary results of a small scale study on the way grammar topics can be covered when the flipped model is applied at the practical course of English with first year university students. The topic needs further investigation as it seems premature to clearly state the benefits of flipping the language classroom. Yet, it can be said that applying such a model can contribute to the development of learner autonomy as well as HOTs.

ITEM TEST SPECIFICATIONS: HOW TO CREATE RECIPES FOR LANGUAGE ASSESSMENTS AND TESTS

Author(s): José Luis PEREA-HERNÁNDEZ / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Creating tests and assessments for both English language and second language learners has been challenging and has required a lot of theoretical and abstract thought. Conversely, big language testing companies, have shown weaknesses in their production of standardized assessments, especially in the training of test-item-writing. In order to create good language assessments, specifications are needed. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present the fundamental and basic principles to create a recipe or test specifications to create any type of language assessment. The author uses Lynch and Davidson’s five-step model (2002), following the formula derived by James Popham (1978). Further, after having presented the theoretical components of the model, the author proposes practical strategies to the use of this model and provide a sample language item test specification. The idea of this paper is to have teachers visualize and internalize the model to put it into practice in their own testing and assessment contexts.

Средства и методи за подаване на фонови знания и изграждане на умения за общуване в "китайска среда" на учениците, изучаващи китайски език в основното и средното училище

Author(s): Reni Stoyanova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Pursuit of communication is the major motivation in foreign language learning. Knowing one or more foreign languages today is no longer an additional qualification, but is part of the basic knowledge indispensable for the next stage of students’ education. Mastering a foreign language is not limited to acquiring knowledge about grammatical construction, lexical units and phonetic features of a certain language. In view of the fact that “culture is the necessary context for using a certain language” (web 3), the ability to fully use a foreign language in communication is preconditioned by the mastery of background knowledge related to the cultural specificity and civilization model of the nation.Pursuit of communication is the major motivation in foreign language learning.

Approche théorique du concept « seuil(s) » dans la didactique des langues

Author(s): Natalia AVORNICESĂ / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The concept of “threshold” is closely linked with the development of foreign language teaching. Most often, the word “threshold” is encountered in the phrase “level-threshold” and has become in recent years one of the key concepts in language teaching and the CEFR. The usefulness of the threshold level (threshold levels) is justified by its use in the development of different textbooks and language methods, curricula, certifications, assessment tests and for teachers. The origin of the term is associated with the mid-1970s with the Threshold Level, which represents the first functional / notional specification of language needs of the Council of Europe.

АРАБСКАЯ ФОНОГРАММАТИКА И ЕЕ РУССКИЕ ЭКВИВАЛЕНТЫ КАК НОВЫЙ ПОДХОД В ОБУЧЕНИИ ИНОСТРАННОМУ ЯЗЫКУ (АРАБСКОМУ И РУССКОМУ В РУССКОЯЗЫЧНОЙ И АРАБОЯЗЫЧНОЙ АУДИТОРИЯХ)

Author(s): Nailya G. Mingazova / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

This article examines the role of minimal linguistic elements and their phonetic changes in the development of the semantic potential, grammatical system, and generative transformational ability of the Russian students in the Arabic classroom and the Arabs in the Russian one. Phonetic changes that serve as a means of differentiating word meanings in the first language level are represented as a connecting link between the first language level and the second one which help students master the mechanism of semantic development of minimal meaningful elements and the methods of generating new words at the second level. The designation of the rules in one language will help to find their exact equivalents in another one, and continue to handle all units in both languages by analogy. The markers obtained in the interaction of the first two language levels are indicative bases of the third, since the syntax is the highest grammatical link which helps morphologically formed minimal elements to be categorized syntactically. So, students can learn the ways of the gender, number, and case markers formation in a foreign language, their syntactic categorization and deductive skills by analogy, since the laws of language are sustained, and what constitutes a word would be a rule for a number of other words, not only in a foreign language, but also in their native language. The audible relation of language levels is always in need of a grammatical system which is able to fulfill the job of facilitating language learning as long as an audible language and its formal display must match in order for students to learn accurate rules of a foreign language. For this task we need a new language system – phono grammar through which students will be able to know the role of minimal meaningful elements in distinguishing word meanings, to learn rules for morphological categorization of already known to students minimal meaningful elements, and to master the relationship of language levels. Phono-grammar system, acting as a whole progressive principle of an audible and formal language structure helps students to generate their own words and sentences by analogy, which develops their generative transformational ability. This system will allow them to learn an accurate audible language.

ЛЕКСИЧЕСКАЯ СЕМАНТИКА КАК ОБЪЕКТ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ В РКИ И ЕГО СПЕЦИФИКА В ИНОСЛАВЯНСКОЙ АУДИТОРИИ

Author(s): Elena Mihailovna Markova / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The article deals with the level organization of the semantic structure of words in the aspect of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The knowledge of lexical semantics, in the author's opinion, can be represented in three levels: denotative, systemic and conceptual, which not only reflects the levels of linguistic cognitive development of the word, but also helps the organization of vocabulary for the purpose of teaching it, including teaching Russian language for Slavic students. It is demonstrated in Article on the material of Russian and Czech languages. Possession of a certain level of word semantics characterizes the level of possession of Russian as a foreign language in general.

История на обучението по латински език

Author(s): Pepa Lungarova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article describes stages in teaching Latin from ancient to modern times. The first grammatical treatises by Hellenistic Alexandrian scholars were taught. In ancient Rome, between the 3rd century BC to 6th century AD, the focus was on grammar and rhetoric skills. In the Middle Ages, teaching grammar constituted the major part of the trivium and the Liberal arts. The goal of teaching Latin was to prepare students for a career both in secular and theological studies. Latin acquired the role of a Lingua Franca in Europe. It was the dominant language in the field of education, science, religion, law, trading, administration till the end of the 16th century. During the Renaissance period, it was gradually replaced by French, German and English, and the comparative historical method in teaching Latin and science was applied. In Europe, the introduction of Classical Language Studies in 18 – 19th century laid the scientific foundations of the teaching of Latin and Latin grammar. These foundations served as a pattern in writing the grammar books of contemporary languages till the end of the 19th century. The article represents the development of teaching Latin in Bulgaria and the traditional grammar/translation methods, whose main objective is the analysis and translation of original texts.

CONSIDERAȚII PRIVIND OCURENȚA ACTULUI DE LIMBAJ AL SCUZEI ÎN MANUALELE DE LIMBA ROMÂNĂ CA LIMBĂ STRĂINĂ DE STUDIU

Author(s): Alina Iftime / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The field of research in which this study falls is that of “sociocultural pragmatics”, which focuses on the influence of external factors (social and cultural) on the formulation and interpretation of linguistic forms. We opted for the speech act of apology, given the role that expressive speech acts have in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. The need to investigate the speech act of the apology is given by its role in restoring the imbalance that can occur in human interaction, the apology being the means that can determine the “saving” of interactions and relationships between interlocutors. The corpus of the research is extracted from several textbooks of RFL as the pragmatic trend has been very successful in teaching foreign languages, the notion of speech act being present in the textbooks, and the communicative approach representing a sine qua non condition for learning a language foreign. The theoretical approach is based on the theory of speech acts of the American philosophers Austin and Searle and the verbal interaction studies of the French linguist Kerbrat-Orecchioni.
