This study examines the significant factors constituted in the meaning-making process of Japanese learning in higher educational context. It employs narrative inquiry approach to investigate the process of motivational change among Japanese learners and how it has impacted on their future choices after graduating from university. Based on the analysis using theoretical frameworks of Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self System and Norton's investment in language learning, this study found two types of motivational changes experienced by Japanese learners, namely the initial-confirmation/practical-development type and the initial-anxiety-withdrawal type. The result of this study proposes some key roles of Japanese department as a higher educational institution which plays in fostering global human resources and provides important insights into the development of Japanese language education in Indonesia.

The purpose of the paper is to research, summarize and present the question of implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the higher educational establishments of Ukraine. It is considered one of the most widespread and promising methods of teaching foreign languages. The effectiveness of the methodology is recognized in the European Union, and in some European countries CLIL goes to the level of the state educational program. The definition of CLIL, its goal, advantages and disadvantages are studied in the following paper. The obvious goal of CLIL is to provide students with a high level of foreign language proficiency in familiar conditions to a foreign environment, using the language as a means of subject studies and communication, one of the threads of CLIL is integrated language learning in professional activities, thus the article reflects the differences of CLIL from the other methods. The principles of studying the subject and language during the implementation of CLIL methodology in the process of foreign language education are presented by the authors. The use of CLIL methodology in different countries made it possible to determine its advantages, as well as certain problems of its implementation in the educational process. The question of the introduction of this methodology in higher educational establishments of Ukraine still remains open. The analysis of the methodology in the context of the chosen discipline, which is perceived as a practical course of learning a foreign language, is especially important for the research. Also the main objectives of CLIL methodology are distinguished in the given paper. The example of implementing CLIL methodology in practical lessons is introduced in the paper and advantages and disadvantages of using this methodology in higher educational establishments of Ukraine are described. The effectiveness of CLIL methodology is ensured by conducting lessons in modern forms of interaction between the teacher and the student, with the use of innovative educational technologies, and allows students to simultaneously study both the language and the professional subject. The conclusions are made on the basis of detailed research of CLIL implementation in European and Ukrainian universities.

The number of Japanese learners in Indonesia ranks the second largest in the world after China. In addition to great interest in Japanese popular culture products, such as anime and manga, the enthusiasm of Japanese learners to study in Japan has become one of the main motivations for learning the Japanese language. The changing in educational policy implemented by the Japanese government has also offered a new possibility for study in Japan. This study aims to explain how the motivation to study in Japan was cultivated through the process of Japanese language learning in higher educational institutions in Indonesia. Researchers collected data using a set of a questionnaire distributed to Japanese language learners at designated universities and interviews with some of the respondents. This study focused on three issues: factors that motivate students to choose Japanese language study programs in university, language skills that learners want to develop in university, and their interest in studying in Japan. The result showed that interest in the Japanese language was the primary motivation for many learners to continue their study in higher educational institutions. The ability to communicate with native Japanese speakers was a significant achievement for a Japanese learner, but at the same time, it was a difficult task to achieve. Study in Japan provided an opportunity for learners to improve their Japanese language skills and to gain experience in Japan. These things were expected to increase the value of learners’ cultural capital and access to previously unobtainable resources.

AbstractThis overview of seven years of research on language learning and teaching in Austria reflects a period of steady growth for the language teaching and learning research community, a development due to a national policy agenda aiming for a stronger research base in teacher education. The target languages of the teaching and learning processes investigated are primarily German, English, French, Italian, Spanish as well as several Slavic languages, reflecting the geographical, sociolinguistic and language policy situation of this increasingly multilingual country. This multilingualism means there are clearly many more first languages (L1s) than only German involved in the learning situations investigated. While all the studies reviewed here illustrate research driven by a combination of local and global concerns in connection with different theoretical frameworks, some specific clusters of research interest emerge. These are: societal and individual multilingualism, language education policy, language teacher education, language(s) in other subjects, early language learning, language acquisition and learning, literature and culture, testing and standardisation, digital media, and teaching materials.

AbstractMobility, technology, personal and political circumstances provide enhanced opportunities for contact with new or different spaces, people, objects, and feelings. Such affordances in turn heighten possibilities for ways of thinking about or experiencing identity, agency, place, and perceptions of the world differently. In this paper, I draw on photographs, written artifacts, material objects, and interview data from two Japanese International students’ self-initiated project on undoing deeply ingrained cultural discourses and practices during their one-year study abroad program in Sydney. Using a narrative inquiry approach and drawing on ideas from translanguaging theory, I illustrate an accumulation of learning experiences that happened during the students’ out-of-classroom translanguaging practices that eventually led them to a transformational understanding of the importance of activating all of their meaning-making resources for meaningful self-development. Finally, I discuss the transformative value in enacting translanguaging practices in relation to language learning.

Literacy among Orang Asli children is found to be well below the national average. This paper explores the connection between language learning and meaning-making and its relation to the problem of language education among Orang Asli children. In so doing, the paper shows that language learning should be situated within their environment. This paper uses the findings from the observation made in an exploratory case study of Temuan children aged 7–12 in an Orang Asli village in Selangor and their struggles with language. Taking a critical view of the challenges faced by the children, this study surmised that a proper recognition of the Orang Asli community in language education is needed for effective meaning-making to ensure their genuine participation. The insight adds to the discussion within decolonisation of education on the importance of indigenisation of language education for Orang Asli children.

AbstractOnline language learning and teaching in multimodal contexts has been identified as one of the key research areas in computer-aided learning (CALL) (Lamy, 2013; White, 2014).1 This paper aims to explore meaning-making in online language learner interactions via desktop videoconferencing (DVC) and in doing so illustrate multimodal transcription and analysis as well as the application of theoretical frameworks from other fields. Recordings of learner DVC interactions and interviews are qualitatively analysed within a case study methodology. The analysis focuses on how semiotic resources available in DVC are used for meaning-making, drawing on semiotics, interactional sociolinguistics, nonverbal communication, multimodal interaction analysis and conversation analysis. The findings demonstrate the use of contextualization cues, five codes of the body, paralinguistic elements for emotional expression, gestures and overlapping speech in meaning-making. The paper concludes with recommendations for teachers and researchers using and investigating language learning and teaching in multimodal contexts.
