Book excerpt: This ground-breaking work is a detailed account of an innovative and in-depth study of the attitudes of in excess of 500 Japanese learners towards a number of standard and non-standard as well as native and non-native varieties of English speech. The research conducted refines the investigation of learner attitudes by employing a range of pioneering techniques of attitude measurement. These methods are largely incorporated from the strong traditions that exist in the fields of social psychology and second language acquisition and utilize both direct and indirect techniques of attitude measurement. The author locates the findings in the context of the wealth of literature on native speaker evaluations of languages and language varieties. The study is unique in that the results provide clear evidence of both attitude change and high levels of linguistic awareness among the informants of social and geographical diversity within the English language. These findings are analyzed in detail in relation to the global spread of English as well as in terms of the pedagogical implications for the choice of linguistic model employed in English language classrooms both inside and outside Japan. The issues examined are of particular interest to educators, researchers and students in the fields of applied linguistics, TESOL, second language acquisition, social psychology of language and sociolinguistics. The pedagogical and language policy implications of the findings obtained make essential reading for those with a specific focus on the role of the English language and English language teaching, both in Japan and beyond.

Book excerpt: The book aims to establish the concept of attitudes as more central to the study of minority and majority languages. The strong tradition of attitude theory and research from social psychology is made relevant to language restoration and decay. Original research shows how attitude to bilingualism is conceptually distinct from attitude to a specific language. A piece of research in Wales investigates the origins of language attitudes in individual differences and in environmental attributes.

This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teacher must know exactly what role he has to play in the society. It must be understood by him, that he is no more expected to be simply an agent and the conservator of the traditions and culture of the society. The newly emerging expectations and aspirations of the Indian society enjoin upon the teacher that he make use of his powers, experiences, skills and discretions in such a manner, that a right sort of socialization within and outside the school situation is fostered by him. Therefore, teaching should be helpful to the child to adjust himself to his environment. The school can help the child to make successful adjustments, by developing healthy attitudes and right knowledge, to meet the environment with its growing complexities through teaching. Teaching can enable the child to equip himself with such habits, skills, attitudes and knowledge which he needs for a successful living in a complex environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English is an international language used for communication all over the world. The knowledge of English ,especially in its communicative approach has become a pass port for employment opportunities across various employment sectors all over the countries.The concept of globalization enables everyone to find an opportunity anywhere in the world provided the job seeker has a very good communicative skill in English.Proficiency in English Language has innumerable benefits and makes to perform excellently in the carriers one has chosen to work. In almost all the countries it is taught either as a foreign language or as a second language.When it comes as a language for learning in India,pupils find it very difficult as it has own its peculiarities. Especially the rural children seem to have developed a strong aversion to it.The causes for this sorry state of affairs include various types of boards of Education imparting various levels of quality Education, low level of usage of technology in class rooms,dominance of private bodies on Education sector, low level of focus on communicative English and lack of formal English Grammar teaching,low proficiency in English among English teachers,too much of emphasis only on writing skills ignoring the other English Language Learning skills.Moreover the student English teacher ratio is also high. Above all, almost all students irrespective of their socio-economic background,bye and large have unconsciously developed a negative attitude towards learning English. Many of the parents are either less educated or not educated and hence students are not able to get their guidance in practising the various skills of English Language.As the parents do not speak in English at their respective homes,the only place is the schools where they students get an exposure to English Language Learning.Even at schools,one period each day accounting forty five minutes is devoted for English Language Learning which is quiet insufficient to learn a foreign like English. The prescribed English text books are expected to cover more basic elements of English language from simple level to complex level.Every student must be given adequate opportunities to develop his English Language learning skills and to achieve this end, evaluation scheme has to be fine tuned with the introduction of modern technological devices without any further delay.Previously the students had two papers for two hundred marks and presently it is of one paper accounting for hundred marks only. Hence importance and time for learning English is considerably reduced.This will certainly tell upon the proficiency of students in English Language and will lead to a negative impact on the students' attitude towards English Language learning . The immediate and urgent need is to bring about a high positive attitude among all types and ages of students towards learning English.The book has exhaustively analysed the present attitude level of Indian students towards learning English,causes and possible recommendations to improve the same,taking the students from the state of Tamilnadu as sample.As such it has become a great concern for all academicians related to English language teaching. In the book, the author has expressed his serious concern over the appalling standard of English in Indian schools and he has suggested certain measures to improve the attitude of students towards English Learning.Novelty and variety are the two factors which are expected to do well with an effective learning.English Language Learning is no way exceptional to this concept.The book is a research based one and sure to contribute towards making betterment in teaching of English on the part of English teachers .The book will be an eye opener for all academicians for improving a positive attitude towards English learning as it is the need of the hour

Each chapter comprises an introductory discussion of the issues involved and suggestions for further reading and study.

Book excerpt: Attitude, Self-efficacy and English communication skills become an integral part to provide appropriate careers to students. Learners suffer from low self-efficacy which is an impediment in their involvement in learning tasks. Poor learning strategies diminish their motivation and consequently their language proficiency. It has been proved that self-efficacy is used an instrument to amplify positive attitude among learners towards English Communication Skills. There is a positive relationship among the attitude, self-efficacy and English language achievement of learners. It provides a framework to understand communication practices of engineering students in India. This book aims to help the language practitioners and educators to look for concrete ways to assist learners to develop a positive attitude and learn more effectively by empowering them to take ownership of learning and to manage their own learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernesto Macaro brings together a wealth of research on the rapidly expanding phenomenon of English Medium Instruction. Against a backdrop of theory, policy documents, and examples of practice, he weaves together research in both secondary and tertiary education, with a particular focus on the key stakeholders involved in EMI: the teachers and the students. Whilst acknowledging that the momentum of EMI is unlikely to be diminished, and identifying its potential benefits, the author raises questions about the ways it has been introduced and developed, and explores how we can arrive at a true cost–benefit analysis of its future impact. “This state-of-the-art monograph presents a wide-ranging, multi-perspectival yet coherent overview of research, policy, and practice of English Medium Instruction around the globe. It gives a thorough, in-depth, and thought-provoking treatment of an educational phenomenon that is spreading on an unprecedented scale.” Guangwei Hu, National Institute of Education, Singapore Additional online resources are available at www.oup.com/elt/teacher/emi Ernesto Macaro is Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Oxford and is the founding Director of the Centre for Research and Development on English Medium Instruction at the university.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of technological tools to foster language development has led to advances in language methodologies and changed the approach towards language instruction. The tendency towards developing more autonomous learners has emphasized the need for technological tools that could contribute to this shift in foreign language learning. Computer-assisted language learning and mobile-assisted language learning have greatly collaborated to foster language instruction out of the classroom environment, offering possibilities for distance learning and expanding in-class time. Recent Tools for Computer- and Mobile-Assisted Foreign Language Learning is a scholarly research book that explores current strategies for foreign language learning through the use of technology and introduces new technological tools and evaluates existing ones that foster language development. Highlighting a wide array of topics such as gamification, mobile technologies, and virtual reality, this book is essential for language educators, educational software developers, IT consultants, K-20 institutions, principals, professionals, academicians, researchers, curriculum designers, and students.

This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph analyses and describes successful educational actions with a specific focus on vulnerable groups (i.e. youth, migrants, cultural groups e.g. Roma, women, and people with disabilities). Concrete data that shows success in school performance in subject matters such as math or language will be provided, as well as children, teachers and families accounts of the impact of this success. Alongside, there is an analysis of the relationship between these children’s educational performance with their inclusion or exclusion from different areas of society (i.e. housing, health, employment, and social and political participation). Many studies have already diagnosed and described the causes of educational and social exclusion of these vulnerable groups. This monograph, however, provides solutions, that is, actions for success identified through the INCLUD-ED project, thus providing both, contrasted data and solid theoretical background and development. Some examples of these actions are interactive groups (or heterogeneous grouping in the classroom with reorganisation of human resources), extension of the learning time, homework clubs, tutored libraries, family and community educative participation, family education, or dialogic literary gatherings. All these actions have been defined as successful educational actions, which mean that they lead to both efficiency and equity. Finally, recommendations for policy and practice are included and discussed.
