Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for cross-cultural communication forced a number of changes in the education systems of Europe and the Middle East: in Europe in general, and in Britain in particular, social and economic changes led to fundamental reforms in teaching methodologies culminating in communicative teaching. The latter became an important feature in British schools in the l96Os and remains so, both for the whole curriculum and particularly in the area of language teaching, in either Modern (foreign) languages or English. Similarly social and economic changes in the Middle East in general, and in Saudi Arabia in particular, led to a number of changes in school curricula and teaching materials. Changes in the area of language teaching in Saudi Arabia did not, however, reflect the country's need for communication, despite the wide use of communicative English in the Saudi home, street, and workplace. This research sets out to establish the relevance of the communicative approach to the Saudi education system and its usefulness in bridging the gap between the reality ìn the street' and classroom practice. Such an attempt is particularly pertinent in the aftermath of the Gulf War which highlighted the need for communication, often in English, between Saudi Arabia and the international community. The research is therefore two-fold: It reviews and analyses, in Part One, the main methodological terms required to understand the concept of communicative teaching as developed in Europe. Such a review highlights the importance of communicative competence to the communicative approach to language teaching. Secondly the research provides, in Parts Two and Three, an overview of communicative practice in Britain, where communicative teaching has been applied for the whole curriculum since the l96Os. A survey of the Saudi education system, in Part Three, shows that, despite some similarities - between, on the one hand, changes that led to communicative pedagogies in Britain, and, on the other, social and economic changes in Saudi Arabia that led to some changes in educational practices - communicative teaching is not yet featured in Saudi education. Data drawn from two questionnaires, designed for this thesis, enables us to assess what features of communicative pedagogies could be relevant to the.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project is the bi-literacy narrative and autoethnography of a novice English teacher who earned the undergraduate degree in English Language at King Abdulazziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The author offers a brief literacy narrative of her experience learning Arabic in girls' schools on a military base in Tabuk in northern Saudi Arabia and at the university. Through strategic contemplation, she reflects on her mother's illiteracy, which was common for women of her mother's generation, while focusing on her mother's strengths, especially her commitment to educating her six children--all of whom have earned college degrees. In the autoethnography, she traces her growth as a teacher and her interest in applying Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) to the education of women in Saudi Arabia, focusing on creating materials that reinforce Islamic values. She offers 11 written artifacts created during her graduate studies as well as three sample lessons she designed in her curriculum seminar and on lesson co-created by her and her thesis chair and internship supervisor. Rather than including just the four traditional macro-skills--reading, writing, speaking, and listening--she adds viewing and visually representing (Tompkins, 2016). In so doing, she refined and expanded basic CLT--sometimes described as a "fuzzy" method by applying the NCTE whole language educational philosophy to her original curriculum based on biographies of women"--Leaf iii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to design model lesson plans which will require the use of available modern technology and movies, songs and graphic novels, etc, to enhance students' communicative competence and motivate critical thinking. In fact, The project will be constructed to implement the use of technology in the Saudi Arabian traditional classrooms. It will serve as a model for teachers to build their own lesson plans accordingly, using a communicative language teaching approach. Finally, it is hoped that with this handbook, Saudi Arabian English language learners will develop critical thinking skills and enhance higher communicative competence in English. This project will have the following significant results. First, it will introduce authentic language to the students through movies. In addition, it will make the instruction student-centred rather than teacher-centered as it is now. It will also help students to acquire both academic and conversational vocabulary. Finally, It will serve as a bridge-building tool to complex reading through the use of graphic novels.

This book was released on 2022-12-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume examines how transnational English language assessment practices are envisioned, enacted, and justified by different stakeholders, including students, teachers, and universities in different geographical contexts, and what would be the multi-level consequences of such practices. Bringing together diverse perspectives from across the Global South and Global North, the book argues that the field of English language assessment has always been transnational, despite an absence of a research that explicitly examines English language assessment practices in relation to transnationalism. The contribution of this volume lies in filling in this critical scholarly gap. Through a wide set of epistemological, theoretical, and pedagogical interventions along with methodological orientations and analytical frameworks, the chapter authors question the social, economic, political, linguistic, and pedagogical consequences of transnational English language assessment practices in higher education (HE) settings and contexts. Offering fresh perspectives on English language assessment practices in relation to transnationalism, this book will be of great interest to researchers, academics, and post-graduate students in the fields of applied linguistics, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and language assessment more broadly.

This book was released on 2011-08-27 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years language learning has been increasingly viewed by some SLA researchers as an essentially social-psychological process in which the role of a wider sociocultural context should not be marginalized. This volume offers a valuable contribution to this growing body of research by providing theoretical considerations and empirical research data on themes such as the development of intercultural communicative competence, the role of English as a lingua franca in intercultural communication, and the place of cultural factors in SLA theorizing, research, second/foreign language teaching and teacher training. The volume also contains contributions which share the linguistic interest in the culture-related concepts and constructs such as time, modesty, politeness, and respect, discussing the culture-dependent differences in conceptualization and their reflection in particular language forms and linguistic devices.

Book excerpt: How can you teach the English language to global English speakers? Can English be taught as an international language? Is it worth teaching? Isn't it more proper and profitable to learn a standard variety of English? How realistic and useful is the identification of an EIL/ELF variety? Can an EIL/ELF standard be identified? These are some of the questions the present volume has addressed with the contribution of some of the most qualified scholars in the field of English linguistics. The book is divided into four sections. The first part deals with the definition of English as an international language and English as a lingua franca. Section two takes six different teaching issues into consideration. The third section examines some learning issues and the last part of the volume debates the relationship between teacher and student in an English as a lingua franca environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Geert Hofstede famously defined culture as collective programming of the mind, the definition broadly referred to culture as such, including all the layers in his “onion” model. The title of this volume, Culture’s Software, represents a development of this original idea and was inspired by none other than Professor Hofstede himself. He used this phrase over thirty years later when lecturing to an international group of scholars gathered in Poland to debate the idea of cultural communication styles, which has, in recent years, been fruitfully discussed from a fresh perspective by scholars working within cognitive and cultural linguistics. The debate has given rise to this book, which will inspire further research into this fascinating subject.

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Language Teaching Materials written by John Gray and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-11-25 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Critical Perspectives on Language Teaching Materials brings together a collection of critical voices on the subject of language teaching materials for use in English, French, Spanish, German and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms. It is firmly located within the 'critical turn' in Applied Linguistics and seeks to build on the growing body of work in this vein. Collectively the authors take it as axiomatic that the politics of representation and identity, and issues of ideology and commercialism cannot be neglected in any serious study of language teaching materials. Rather, it sees these issues as central. The book draws on research carried out in the UK, Spain, North America and Brazil, and is aimed at language teachers, teacher educators, students, researchers, materials writers and those working in the materials publishing industry.
