"The challenge is to move from external motivation where students are forced/encouraged to focus to instilling internal motivation where they actually want to focus and the distractions simply evaporate."

"Student mobility is on the rise. A previous Communiqué of the Conference of European Ministers Responsible for Higher Education set a target of at least 20% of those graduating in the European higher education area having participated in a study or training period abroad by 2020. While this aim is very desirable, it does beg the question: What about the remaining 80% of students who may not engage in some kind of physical mobility during their studies?"
The aim of this module is to introduce language teachers to the use of concordances and concordance programs in the Modern Foreign Languages classroom. Concordancing is part of Corpus Linguistics, which is dealt with by Tony McEnery & Andrew Wilson in Module 3.4. Section 2.2 of this module includes a brief introduction to corpus linguistics. Authors of this module Marie-Noëlle Lamy, The Open University, UK. Hans Jørgen Klarskov Mortensen, Vordingborg Gymnasium, Denmark. With an introduction by Graham Davies, Editor-in-Chief, ICT4LT Website.

Nobody can speak without pronouncing. Pronunciation tends to be neglected by teachers, but learners often rate it as a high priority. In this workshop, we will do some practical recognition and production activities, taken from The Book of Pronunciation, designed to help learners with sounds and sound sequences, pronunciation and spelling, word stress, rhythm and intonation.

Does research engagement by teachers (i.e. reading and doing research) enhance the quality of their classroom practices? In this talk I draw on a series of studies which examine language teachers’ and managers’ views on this issue. The findings I report highlight a range of positive, hesitant and negative perspectives on the relationship between research engagement and teaching quality. What also emerges in the views expressed by teachers and managers are diverse conceptions of what ‘research’ means, typically emphasizing personal, practical and informal activities or, in contrast, those which are more formal, theoretical and academic. Neither of these conceptions of research provides a satisfactory basis for promoting research engagement as a productive professional development strategy. I will thus conclude the talk by outlining a conception of teacher research engagement which is feasible and rigorous and which has the potential to contribute positively to the quality of language teachers’ work.

"L'approche communicative, orientée plus vers le sens que vers la forme des mots, et l'approche actionnelle, ou apprentissage par la tâche, sous-tendent l'enseignement des langues secondes à l'heure actuelle. Il est donc utile de voir des exemples d'activités de classe où le TBI est utilisé pour étayer la communication spontanée dans des contextes authentiques. Cependant, ce type de communication n'est ni possible ni souhaitable à tous les stades d'acquisition et dans toutes les phases d'une séance ou séquence d'enseignement. Dans les exemples qui suivent, nous observons l'usage du TBI dans de différents types d'interactions qui vont d'un entraînement à l'utilisation d'éléments linguistiques hors contexte communicatif, en passant par des activités plus ouvertes, pour arriver à une vraie communication en langue cible."
