Language Teaching And Learning

Many language teachers have had sporadic exposure to applied linguistics, limited experience with programmed learning/individualized instruction, and an incomplete understanding of ways in which educational technology can significantly augment the quality of the teaching–learning process. what is the process. what is the probability that administrators, teacher educator, materials developers, teachers, and students will appreciate and accept CAI as an approach that seeks to combine these three fields meaningfully? The propose of this discussion is to examine CAI is terms of key definitions, observations, concerns, developments, and contributions that have achieved significance during the 1979–80 academic year in the area of language teaching and learning. Implications and a challenge for future research studies will also be listed.

Pedagogical Innovations

The primary goal of this paper is to portray how the value orientations and priorities can direct us to new pedagogical cores and innovations and leadership. First of all, we will examine how the students’ value orientations and priorities become a pertinent factor in conceiving new teaching practices that enhance the amiable learning atmosphere and guides us to new ideas and leadership. Second of all, we will focus on how value orientations and priorities expand our current knowledge and comprehension of the students’ learning styles and demands and gravitate teachers and students to the concept of emotional intelligence; this then leads students and teachers to new international and interdisciplinary environment(s) and to new teaching and learning practices. In addition, our aim is to address the students’ value orientations and priorities and apply them to steer us to design new learning environment(s) and to the transformational and primal leaderships. Furthermore, our intent is to render how value orientations guide to the emotional intelligence, which then directs to new practices, ideas and innovations. Moreover, we will share specific examples of successful pedagogical innovations that lead to the emotional intelligence and were guided by the students’ value orientations and priorities. Throughout this paper we will remit the following vital question: how do we link the value orientations together with the emotional intelligence and the transformational and primal leaderships?

This chapter presents an overview of the design and development of a research project aimed at setting the foundation of an international teacher education network to enhance teacher education from a transversal and interdisciplinary perspective. The network partnership explores the impact of applied educational technology, including digital and transmedia storytelling or augmented reality, to upgrade teacher education. This approach provides tailored training to equip lecturers, teacher trainers, pre- and in-service K-12 teachers, and students with specific competencies, skills, and strategies in instruction and assessment. This training also intends to raise their awareness of educational, social, sustainability, and environmental challenges. Within this framework, educational technology, language, and narrative genres become the articulatory axis of teaching and learning within bilingual and intercultural education contexts. This chapter also serves to define the scope and rationale for the edited volume.

Modelo Pedagógico

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una guía para integrar el aprendizaje cooperativo en contextos de educación física. A lo largo de los últimos 20 años se han publicado numerosos artículos describiendo experiencias de aplicación de distintas estructuras cooperativas. No obstante, no existe ningún documento que “lleve de la mano” a un docente cuando quiere implementar el modelo del aprendizaje cooperativo en su aula de educación física. El Ciclo del Aprendizaje Cooperativo representa una estructura que conduce a docente y discente desde los primeros pasos hasta las estructuras más complejas de este modelo pedagógico, proponiendo 3 fases: (1) Creación y cohesión de grupo, (2) El aprendizaje cooperativo como contenido a enseñar y (3) El aprendizaje cooperativo como recurso para enseñar y aprender. En cada una de estas fases se describen sub-fases y/o técnicas específicas que ayudan a comprender todo el proceso a seguir. El Ciclo del Aprendizaje Cooperativo representa un paso adelante, ya que proporciona a los docentes de educación física un marco estable que les permite a ellos y a sus estudiantes comprender, aprender, usar e integrar de una manera progresiva el aprendizaje cooperativo en sus clases. Solo a través de un trabajo pausado y concienzudo se puede lograr su desarrollo satisfactorio en contextos educativos.Abstract. The goal of this article is to present a guide to integrate cooperative learning in physical education contexts. Over the last twenty years, several articles have been published on practical experiences on this topic. However, there is no document that would “lead by the hand” teachers when they want to implement cooperative learning in their physical education classes. The Cooperative Learning Cycle represents a framework that conducts teachers and students from the first steps to the most complex structures of this pedagogical model. It includes 3 phases: (1) Building group cohesion, (2) cooperative learning as a content, and (3) cooperative learning as a means for teaching and learning. Each of these phases is composed by several sub-phases and/or techniques that help understanding the whole process. The Cooperative Learning Cycle represents a step forward, because it provides teachers with a stable framework that allows them and their students to understand, learn, use, and integrate progressively cooperative learning in their classes. It can only be successfully integrated within educational contexts through a patient and thorough process.

Abstract In order to advance authentic equity in science education, it is salient to have frameworks that allow educators and researchers to design learning environments, activities, and research agendas that centers students’ strengths in order for them to achieve full participation in science. As such it is important to consider the social identities of science education stakeholders—teachers and students—in teacher education. However, as identity is complex, it requires research approaches that elucidate not only the nuances of teacher identity but also the complexities of science teaching and learning environments. This article describes a collaborative research project that aimed to unpack the relationship between teacher identity and learning to teach. It outlines the collaborative process of theory building that includes teacher participants and the research team and how the framework for teacher education emerged that considers the various aspects of designing equitable and liberatory science learning.

Complexity theory offers possibilities for thinking about the challenges and opportunities inherent in teaching, teacher learning, and many other networked systems in teacher education. Complexity theory is a theory of learning systems that provides a framework for those interested in examining how systems develop and change. It is transdisciplinary in nature, drawing on insights from diverse fields across both the hard and social sciences, and when applied to education may provide a complex rather than simplistic view of teaching and learning. Further, complexity theory has the potential to offer a powerful alternative to linear and reductionist conceptualizations, with implications for methodology of teacher education research as well as its analysis and design. This small but growing body of work has influenced teacher education in two ways. First, scholars have argued for complexity theory’s usefulness as a framework to understand and describe how teacher education functions as a complex system. The second category of work, smaller than the first, uses complexity theory to frame and analyze empirical studies. Much of the emerging body of research conducted from a complexity theory perspective is descriptive and largely confirms what has been theorized. Empirical work has confirmed that a variety of systems, at different levels, influence teacher learning and pedagogical decisions. Gaps in our knowledge still exist, however, as theorists and researchers continue to struggle with how complexity theory can best serve teacher education for the benefit of teachers and students.

The Subject

How to teach about difference is critical to education. This paper discusses teaching about difference in locations or contexts where the majority of teacher candidates were of the dominant culture. As a teacher educator, I have worked with teacher candidates on becoming aware of the relationships between their subject positions and the subject positions of others. The exploration of those relationships was contextualized by the different physical locations and teaching and learning environments, within which privilege, dominance, and marginalization were constructed and experienced in specific forms. This paper relates my emerging pedagogy for teaching about difference, as well as describing some teacher candidates’ perspectives on learning about difference. It reflects on my experiences teaching courses in multiculturalism and social justice in two specific locations: the teaching and learning department of a small American university in North Dakota and an education faculty in Manitoba. For teacher candidates positioned within dominant culture, difference can be uncomfortable. Teaching about difference meaningfully and navigating this discomfort is central to teacher education oriented to equity.Keywords: Teacher education, difference, equity

Resumo Este artigo apresenta diferentes perspectivas metodológicas para o estudo da interação na sala de aula de língua estrangeira. Com um corpus coletado em aulas de italiano como língua estrangeira, são ilustrados três modelos, decorrentes das seguintes abordagens: a funcional, a etnometodológica e a etnográfica. Esperamos, com este estudo, demonstrar que a análise da interação constitui um instrumento potencialmente rico para propiciar espaços de análise e reflexão, no âmbito da formação de professores, sobre a configuração das interações entre professor e aluno. Tais posturas reflexivas podem contribuir, sobremaneira, para a compreensão e o aprimoramento do processo de ensinar e aprender línguas. Palavras-chave: Interação em sala de aula. Ensino de língua estrangeira. Formação de professores.   Abstract This article presents different methodological perspectives for studying foreign language classroom interactions. Based on a corpus collected in classes where Italian was being taught as a foreign language, we illustrate three models derived from the following approaches: functional, ethnomethodological and ethnographic. We hope to demonstrate in this article that the analysis of interactions between teachers and students is a potentially rich instrument for studies and reflections within the field of teacher education. These reflections may contribute greatly to the understanding and improvement of the process of teaching and learning languages. Keywords: Classroom interaction. Foreign language teaching. Teacher education.
