The Creation

Since the early ’80s the adjective "intercultural" in language learning and teaching has seemed to acquire a remarkable importance, although its meaning is strongly debated. As a matter of fact, despite the existence of a vast literature on this topic, difficulties arise when applying it in the classroom. The aim of this work is to analyze the elements we consider to be the central pillars in this methodology, i.e. a renewed language-and culture relation, the Intercultural Communicative Competence, the intercultural speaker. These factors allow us to consider this as a new paradigm in language education; furthermore, they foster the creation of new potentialities and configure the classroom as a significant learning environment towards the discovery of Otherness.

Esl Classroom

This study focuses on a multicultural ESL classroom with the purpose of exploring the creation of new individual and cultural identities and the formation of interculture. Through on-site observations and interviews with second-language learners and their teacher, the study presents findings about the dynamics, quandaries, complexity, and diversity of classroom interculture. The metaphor of the 'third place' (Kramsch, 1993) aptly captures the nature of this interculture in its fluidity and ambiguity. Perceiving language-learning in this way allows one to look beyond the traditional dichotomous views and approaches to culture and identity in ESL settings and to describe properly the enriching process of creating new identity and new cultural space that is greater than the sum of individual cultures.

La classe de langue étrangère, par la transformation du corps propre qu’elle présuppose afin d’accéder à un nouveau corps social, place-t-elle l’élève en situation de handicap et génère-t-elle de la souffrance ? Est-il possible de l’éviter ? La réflexion menée part de l’observation d’expériences vécues en danse contemporaine autour de la création de performances incluant des danseurs en situation de handicap. L’analyse de la démarche pédagogique adoptée fait émerger des constantes qui contribuent à l’inclusion de chaque danseur. Elle peut être source d’inspiration pour l’enseignant afin de construire une dynamique d’apprentissage d’une langue étrangère où chaque élève se sente compétent. Otherness and inclusion. What can contemporary dance bring to the foreign language class for learners to access a new social body? The foreign language class implies a transformation of the learner’s own body in order to access a new social body. Does it thereby handicap pupils, generating suffering? Is it possible to avoid this? The following reflection starts from the observation of experiences in contemporary dance, related to the creation of performances including disabled dancers. The analysis of the pedagogy reveals constants which contribute to the inclusion of every dancer. It can inspire teachers in order to design a foreign language learning approach in which each pupil feels competent.

Context Aware System

In this article, the authors propose an improved context-aware system to support the learning of Japanese mimicry and onomatopoeia (MIO) using sensor data. In the authors’ two previous studies, they proposed a context-aware language learning assistant system named JAMIOLAS (JApanese MImicry and Onomatopoeia Learning Assistant System). The authors used wearable sensors and sensor networks, respectively, to support learning Japanese MIO. To address the disadvantages of the previous systems, the authors propose a new learning model that can support learning MIO, using sensor data and the sensor network to enable context-aware learning by either initiating the creation of context or detecting context automatically.

The Creation

In order to implement the aims of 21st century’s education – personal self- determination and self-realization –, it is necessary to unite the traditional education forms and methods with innovative learning technologies and resources. Besides the traditional learning resources, which usually are used under supervision of teacher in joint learning process, also new and innovative resources appear, for example, open educational resources (OER). Together with other factors, they ensure availability of education and promote the current factors of modern learning process: individualization and differentiation of the learning process, development of learning skills, media competence as one the crucial skills, independence and participation in the learning process. Although it is undeniable, that OER promote the quality of education; however, as polls and researches show, the main attention is paid to the creation and publication of OER, but there is a problem in the assessment of OER quality, purposeful and pedagogically reasoned use (Stacey, 2010). Latvian Language Agency (LLA) created a portal “Teach and learn Latvian” in 2013, where were placed OER for the Latvian language learning, that are structured in two parts: Teach Latvian and Learn Latvian. By analysing the discussion among teachers, the results of polls and observations in the teaching process, LLA is elaborating a concept on creation of OER, as well ensuring the creation of qualitative content and creation of pedagogically reasoned guidelines. The aim of article is to characterise the OER, created by LLA, and pedagogical conditions for its use in the context of modern education. The article: 1) deals with the current situation of modern education, that justifies the importance of OER’s creation and use; 2) defines the notion and essence of the term OER; 3) characterises the OER, created by LLA; 4) deals with the impacts of OER on the learning process, the problems in the use of OER and reveals the pedagogical pre-conditions for its use.
