The present paper is focused on Lyuben Georgiev’s innovative ideas concerning Bulgarian language teaching. The author’s new ideas presented in his work The Mother Tongue in Our Junior High Schools and High Schools (a Language Teaching Endeavour) (1933) have not been the subject of scientific research so far. L. Georgiev’s set of didactic ideas is important evidence for the overcoming of the Herbartian model and the orientation of language teaching towards the formation of communicative competencies. Emphasizing the creative nature of pedagogical interaction, Lyuben Georgiev offers a comprehensive system of ideas – a system that is in line with modern trends in language learning.

Summary This paper aims to demonstrate that using a plurilingual and ecological approach to English language teaching can achieve better results in primary school independently of the mother tongue of the student. This article is based on the initial results of our international research carried out in three very different countries (Norway, China and Spain). While the author´s research project involves 328 participants, we will present the results of the first phase of the experiment, including 133 students. In this paper, we propose a plurilingual communicative approach to English teaching as a foreign language, making a distinction between languages for communication and languages for identification. This research examines the current teaching policies in the participating countries, and analyses cross-cultural and cross-linguistic perspectives in English language teaching while promoting the positive use of the mother tongue as a connecting tool in the students’ communication system. The subjects of this study were divided in control and experimental groups, in which they received traditional and plurilingual approach respectively. After the classes they completed a test and were then supplied with a Likert scale questionnaire focused on understanding their attitude and motivation towards mother tongue and English language learning. Based on observation and results obtained, we can conclude that a plurilingual approach that uses L1 as a tool in English teaching improves English learning, as well as develops an ecological understanding of languages.

Language acquisition starts from the ability of listening basic letter(iktisab al-ashwat) since child age. The letter of a language is limited in number, and sometimes there is similarity of letters among languages. The similarity of letters in two languages make it easy to learn the language. On the contrary, the obstacle of language learning can be caused by different letters between two languages (mother tongue and second/foreign language). The problem may be caused by minimal pairs (tsunaiyat al-shughro). This research aims at finding out the error of minimal pair acquisition, with the subject of Indonesian students in Jami’ah Malik Saud Saudi Arabia, with the method of error analysis. The study concludes that in iktisab al-ashwat of minimal pairs, the error is around 3,3 %-58,3%. Second: the error on minimal pairs occurs on the letters shift ?? ?? ? to be ? , letter ? to be ? , letter ? to be ? , letter ? to be ? , letter ? to be ?? , and letter ? to be ?.

Using mother tongue (L1) in a foreign language (L2) classrooms is inevitable. Despite the debate over the adequacy of using L1 in the teaching of L2, this paper argues using L1 in the classroom does not hinder learning, and that L1 has a facilitating role to play in the classroom and can help L2 learning and acquisition. This paper shows that L1 is an inseparable part of language teaching, and it has several functions for both the students and teachers in English language learning and teaching. Therefore, those who believe L1 has a minimal role to play in the teaching of a foreign language are invited to think again of its role and contributions it makes to the fields of language learning and teaching.

Since communicating people is one of the first and foremost obstacles to autistic children, it is a basic need for them to get vigilant and appropriate nurture for language acquisition. Moreover, to develop the language skills of special children appropriately, it is essential to ensure effective language teaching. The primary objective of this study was to identify the challenges that the teachers face in the class and to bring out the possibilities of teaching the mother tongue to the special children as a part of special education. As language learning is the leading step of special education, the study aims to contribute to the field by pointing out the challenges and the possibilities. The study was conducted by collecting data from three different schools of special children by following a qualitative method. The findings revealed that inadequate understanding, proper classroom facilities, lack of awareness and insufficient language training created a great challenge for the teachers in teaching the language to the special children. The study also exposed that special training, a well-decorated classroom, regular speech therapy, and change of outlook minimized the challenges and made language teaching more effective.

  RESUMEN Las autoras sitúan esta investigación dentro de los presentes cambios educativos que involucran la práctica del maestro-pedagogo, en lo que concierne a la educación lingüística, a partir de los siguientes problemas: 1) ¿Cómo incorporan o incorporaron conceptos de enseñanza de lengua como conjunto de variedades los maestros de la 4ª serie del nivel primario? 2) ¿Cómo usarían ellos un léxico específico sobre el habla amapaense, para tratar la noción de lengua como conjunto de variedades, considerando el paradigma de sustentabilidad en la educación lingüística? Para dar solución a estos problemas se elaboró el siguiente objetivo general: - Analizar el discurso docente sobre la práctica de enseñanza de lengua, concerniente a variación lingüística, en la 4ª serie del nivel fundamental, a partir del uso de un léxico específico sobre el habla local, considerando el paradigma de sustentabilidad en la educación lingüística. Para alcanzar tal objetivo, se realizó una investigación exploratorio-analítica, de metodología cualitativa y de cuño interpretativo. La especificidad del objeto requiere, en este caso, que se utilice la contribución teórico-metodológica de la Sociolingüística Variacional (SV) y Sociolingüística Educacional (SE), y para la sustentabilidad en educación, el aporte de Hargreaves y de Fink, además de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para Educación, Ciencia y Cultura (UNESCO), entre otros. Para el análisis de los discursos, se emplean recortes del PCNEF de lengua portuguesa de la escolaridad inicial y de los Proyectos Pedagógicos del Curso de Pedagogía de UNIFAP. Para la recolección de la información empírica, se optó por entrevistas semi-estructuradas y para la triangulación de datos, discursos documentales y el generado en trabajo de campo. Las hipótesis se resumen: i) las prácticas pedagógicas para el aprendizaje lingüístico favorecen las dimensiones profundidad, amplitud y duración de la sustentabilidad educativa; ii) a pesar de la existencia de obras específicas sobre el habla local, en la educación lingüística del Estado no existe preocupación por enseñar (ni reflexionar sobre la lengua materna), a partir de lo local para alcanzar lo universal/nacional, orientación sugerida por los PCNEF-LP (documentos oficiales).   PALABRAS CLAVE: Educación Lingüística Sustentable; Formación Docente; Práctica Pedagógica Docente; Léxico; Enseñanza   ABSTRACT The authors situate this research within the present educational changes that involve the practice of the teacher-pedagogue, as far as linguistic education is concerned, from the following problems: 1) How do 4th grade teachers of the elementary education incorporate concepts of language teaching as a set of varieties? 2) How would they use a specific lexicon about Amapaense’s discourse, to treat the notion of language as a set of varieties, considering the paradigm of sustainability in language education? In order to solve these problems, the following general objective was developed: -Analyze the teacher’s discourse about the practice of language instruction on linguistic variation at the 4th grade of the elementary education, based on the use of a specific lexicon of local discourse, considering the paradigm of sustainability in language teaching. To achieve this objective, an exploratory-analytical investigation was made, as well as a qualitative methodology of interpretative essence. The object’s specificity requires, in this case, the use of the theoretical-methodological contribution given by the Variance Sociolinguistics (VS), the Sociolinguistic Education (SE), and the sustainability in education, supported by Hargreaves and Fink, in addition to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), among others. For the speeches’ analysis, cutouts from the National Curricula Parameters for the Elementary Education and the Pedagogy Course Project from the Federal University of Amapá (UNIFAP) were used. For information collection, we opted for semi-structured interviews and data triangulation, documentary discourses and the generated material from the field work. Summarized hypotheses: i) pedagogical practices for language learning favor the depth, breadth and duration dimensions of educational sustainability; ii) despite the existence of specific works on the local discourse, within the State’s linguistic education there is not concern about teaching (or reflecting about the mother tongue), from local to universal/national, as suggested by the official documents.   KEYWORDS: Sustainable Linguistic Education; Teacher training; Teacher’s Pedagogical Practice; Lexicon; Teaching.     RESUMO Os autores situam essa pesquisa dentro das atuais mudanças educacionais que envolvem a prática do professor-pedagogo, no que se refere à educação linguística, a partir dos seguintes problemas: 1) Como incorporam ou incorporam conceitos de ensino de línguas como um todo? de variedades os professores da 4ª série do nível primário? 2) Como eles usariam um léxico específico sobre o discurso de Amapase, para tratar a noção de linguagem como um conjunto de variedades, considerando o paradigma da sustentabilidade na educação de línguas?
