In order to provide practical advice for educators of young learners, the chapter describes ways that picturebooks boost vocabulary, language learning, and conceptual knowledge in English L2. The chapter develops criteria to select picturebooks for subject-area instruction, paying attention to the picture-word dynamics.

Abstract Tourism is the leading economy of the 21st century also for Italy. The language could also benefit from it, which statistically performs very well in many areas (on the world stage, on the internet, in foreign language learning, etc.). Unfortunately, the country’s tourist-economic importance does not correlate positively with its language value. Here, the Italian state is asked to do more with investment for the ‚visibility’ of the language in the tourism sector, e.g. with the opening of foreign ENIT headquarters.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents an interview with Merrill Swain, a Canadian researcher who proposed the Output Hypothesis, a way to understand the relevance of producing (by speaking/writing) the foreign language during its learning. According to Output Hypothesis, the learner may notice gaps while, test cognitive hypothesis and think in a metalinguistic way while producing the foreign language. This hypothesis influenced plenty of research in the second language learning/teaching field around the world, considering Brazil as well.

Target Culture

Foreign language documentary films offer limitless possibilities for language teaching and are an ideal medium for the integration of the target culture and for the promotion of serious and committed discussions about human rights, diversity, global issues, and sustainability. Language learning is based on current cultural contexts so that students become more engaged with the world. In order to integrate this world into my class, I became a documentary filmmaker and filmed everyday life while I was living in Nantes, France. In my interactive documentary (i-doc), students can explore the different opportunities that Nantes has to offer, from street art to socially engaged activities and student demonstrations. The learner watches and listens to interviews in the i-doc at their own pace and engages with the francophone community.

Superior Memory

Learners vary in the acquisition of foreign language learning. Among these are the gifted learners. What makes gifted learners unlike is that they acquire rapidly and they are good at thinking differently and creatively. Moreover, they have curiosity, attention, a superior memory and an excellent ability to learn a language. Remarkably, they are independent enough to reject something purposely when it seems pointless. Besides, they can perceive the world as competently as an adult, and they are even different from each other that make it difficult to define their character correctly and to prepare a lesson plan that meets their needs exactly. Therefore, when we consider this challenging character, teachers need a particular lesson plan that helps them cope with gifted children’s challenging character. This study aims to review the literature about gifted children to identify the needs and nature of them and suggest a lesson plan framework for EFL learners which includes the standard functions and skills required by the implemented syllabus in Turkey to help the teachers design their lessons according to gifted learners’ needs and nature. Keywords: gifted, EFL, process-based, syllabus, curriculum;

So, the question is: is it worth using a monolingual dictionary to help you learn a foreign language, or is it too much trouble? We’d better use our monolingual dictionary as a supplement to a bilingual one. Certainly somewhere in our language learning career, we shall probably be able to exclusively use the monolingual dictionaries. Sometimes monolingual dictionaries convey the meaning of the words more precisely but to understand this we need to have some level of English and our range of interests must be rather wide (knowledge of the world). All these facts are indispensable for using such dictionaries properly. A dictionary is a very important tool for anyone who is learning a new language. With a good dictionary you can do the following: look up the meaning of an English word you see or hear; find the English translation of a word in your language; check the spelling of a word; check the plural of a noun or past tense of a verb; find out other grammatical information about a word; find the synonym or antonym of a word; look up the collocations of a word; check the part of speech of a word; find out how to say a word; find out about the register of a word; find examples of the use of a word in natural language. Perhaps a balance could be struck, though: try to use your monolingual dictionary first, and if you find that you don’t understand a definition, only then look it up in your bilingual dictionary. Or perhaps even try to figure out the definition in your monolingual dictionary for say, 5, looking up words you don’t understand. If, after that time is up, you’ve not figured it out, whip out your bilingual dictionary. At any rate, it is recommended getting a monolingual dictionary in your target language at some point or another – just don’t toss out your bilingual one when the monolingual one arrives.
