Synopsis

Ce livre expose certains des principaux fondements de la pensée contemporaine sur deux concepts considérés comme au cœur de l'activité linguistique appliquée, de la langue et de la culture. Il donne une perspective sur la nature de la langue et de la culture, en regardant comment l'utilisation de la langue dans des situations réelles nous aide à comprendre comment la langue est utilisée pour construire nos mondes sociaux et culturels.

Les cartes conceptuelles sur la nature de la langue, de la culture et de l'apprentissage fournies dans ce texte aident à orienter les lecteurs vers certaines activités théoriques et pratiques actuelles qui se déroulent en linguistique appliquée. Ils les aident également à commencer à tracer leurs propres explorations dans l'enseignement et la recherche de la langue et de la culture.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Teaching and Researching Language and Culture

brings together various threads of current thought and empirical findings on the teaching and researching of language and culture from which present-day activity in applied linguistics draws.

Section I discusses some of the more significant assumptions on the nature of language and culture, and the nature of language-and-culture learning embodied in a sociocultural perspective of human action. Professor Hall then examines how current understandings of language, culture and learning inform pedagogical practices in Section II. Section III attempts to familiarize readers with current research approaches to the study of language and culture. In addition, plans for several projects are presented as a guide for readers in developing and pursuing their own ideas for research. Section IV provides additional sources and resources to help readers in their explorations.

Joan Kelly Hall is Professor of Language Education at the University of Georgia. Her most recent books include the edited volume `Second and foreign language learning through classroom interaction�?? (2000) and `Methods for teaching foreign languages: Creating a community of learners in the classroom�?? (2002).
