Book Synopsis The Acquisition of English Grammar and Phonology by Cantonese ESL Learners by : Alice Yin Wa Chan
Download or read book The Acquisition of English Grammar and Phonology by Cantonese ESL Learners written by Alice Yin Wa Chan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chan’s exploration of the acquisition of English grammar and phonology by Cantonese learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) offers insights into the specific challenges that learners often encounter and posits ways to help them overcome those challenges. Possible sources of the challenges are also examined. The book covers the basic differences between English and Cantonese grammar as well as those between English and Cantonese phonology. Chan discusses the kinds of grammatical and phonological problems that Cantonese ESL learners often have in their acquisition of English. In terms of grammar, various structures are reviewed, including errors which are clearly due to L1 interference and also those which may not be directly L1-related. Learners’ common misconceptions about relevant concepts are also revealed. In terms of phonology, both speech perception and speech production problems at the segmental and suprasegmental levels are examined. For learner problems which may be the result of L1 interference, a contrastive approach is adopted in analysing the cause and nature of the errors. Chan also offers readers pedagogical insights to target common grammatical problems, including the use of an algorithmic approach, the use of a discovery-based consciousness-raising approach and the use of metalinguistic explanations. As far as the learning of English phonology is concerned, she argues that the training of speech production should go hand-in-hand with that of speech perception. Future research can experiment with the proposed teaching ideas with Cantonese ESL learners and learners of other native languages. Researchers and ESL teaching professionals will find the insights and research contained within this volume invaluable when encountering or researching Chinese ESL learners.
Book Synopsis Chinese-English Contrastive Grammar by : David C. S. Li
Download or read book Chinese-English Contrastive Grammar written by David C. S. Li and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of Chinese-English Contrastive Grammar: An Introduction is to familiarize the reader with a subset of the learning difficulties and common errors in ESL/EFL pronunciation and lexico-grammatical structures encountered by Chinese learners and users of English, in Hong Kong and beyond. It also helps readers understand some of the ways in which the Chinese language has undergone structural change as a result of Europeanization. The book begins with a review of Cantonese-English contrastive phonology and is followed by a detailed analysis of lexico-grammatical deviations found among Chinese ESL/EFL learners. It concludes with a brief history of the Europeanization of the Chinese language and a discussion of commonly encountered lingua-cultural problems encountered by Chinese users of English in intercultural communication settings. This book is written primarily for teachers and students specializing in language-related disciplines. Scholars who wish to understand the acquisitional challenges for Chinese students in the process of learning English as an additional language will also find the book an informative reference. ‘David C. S. Li and Zoe Pei-sui Luk’s brand new introduction to Chinese-English contrastive grammar covers a number of key topics and comes with copious data, abundant exemplification, and in-depth analyses. A must-read for all who are interested in the similarities and differences between the two languages, and why.’ —K. K. Luke, Nanyang Technological University ‘This is a book which has long been needed. Drawing on their own research and teaching experience, the authors have produced a linguistically accurate and insightful, but also very readable book. It should be required reading for language teachers in Hong Kong and the Greater China region.’ —Stephen Matthews, University of Hong Kong

Book Synopsis Challenges Encountered by Chinese ESL Learners by : Mable Chan
Download or read book Challenges Encountered by Chinese ESL Learners written by Mable Chan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a blended approach in outlining the properties of grammatical knowledge that have been causing difficulty to Chinese speaking learners, including tense and aspect, articles, passives, unaccusatives, plurality and motion verbs. It explains from different linguistics perspectives how these constraints/difficulties might be dealt with. It also offers readers a comprehensive account of these problems, and outlines the possible pedagogical solutions teachers can try in the classroom. These topics are selected because they bring substantial challenges and difficulties to Chinese English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. This book bridges the gap between acquisition theory and language pedagogy research, benefiting not just language learners but language teachers around the world, and all those who would like to witness collaboration between second language acquisition theory and second language teaching practice in general. It initiates future work in which researchers from different fields with diverging theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches will be able to develop studies that are compatible with each other. This overall can facilitate our understanding of second language acquisition, and how instruction might help.

Book Synopsis Plurilingual Pedagogy in the Arabian Peninsula by : Daniela Coelho
Download or read book Plurilingual Pedagogy in the Arabian Peninsula written by Daniela Coelho and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores plurilingual education in the unique English medium instruction (EMI) context of the Arabian Peninsula. The book argues that integrating a plurilingual pedagogy alongside current EMI in the region could enhance students’ learning and contribute to a language policy that embraces linguistic diversity while fostering regional identity. It brings together the work of experts in Arabic and English language policy and planning, presenting empirical research relating to plurilingual pedagogical practices within the region. The book offers a range of recommendations for educators on how to integrate plurilingual pedagogies in classroom teaching. This becomes more important since many educators in the region are non-Arabic speakers and are teaching students with diverse linguistic backgrounds through English. With a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to the linguistic landscape in the Arabian region, this book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, and students in the fields of applied linguistics, language education, teacher education, and EMI.
Book Synopsis Grammar and the Chinese ESL Learner by : Yong Lang
Download or read book Grammar and the Chinese ESL Learner written by Yong Lang and published by . This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are studies concerning the acquisition of English articles and some identifiable stages that are based on various perspectives and different empiric data, with several acquisition sequences for ESL learners proposed, the universality and applicability of those proposed sequences remain to be tested. There are also no studies at present that address how L2 learners distinguish a from an, identify the acquisition process related with the zero article, or present a systematic description of noun phrases in conjunction with the use of articles. This book which details an in-depth longitudinal study of Chinese ESL learners' acquisition process of English articles endeavors to fill this need. It combines a qualitative approach with quantitative methods to understand the acquisition sequence of English articles, using the case of a beginner Chinese ESL learner in an American context. The longitudinal data collected during the 13-month period are first carefully indexed using a qualitative-oriented computer software program and then statistically analyzed by using SPSS. An in-depth examination of different types of articles, as well as their relations with noun phrases and other types of determinants, was then conducted using the perspectives gained from both the accuracy paradigm and the usage pattern.
Book Synopsis Taboos and Controversial Issues in Foreign Language Education by : Christian Ludwig
Download or read book Taboos and Controversial Issues in Foreign Language Education written by Christian Ludwig and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides innovative insights into how critical language pedagogy and taboo topics can inform and transform the teaching and learning of foreign languages. The book investigates the potential as well as the challenges involved in dealing with taboo topics in the foreign language classroom. Traditionally subsumed under the acronym PARSNIP (politics, alcohol, religion, narcotics, isms, and pork). By examining how additional controversial topics such as disability, racism, conspiracy theories and taboo language can be integrated into conceptual teaching frameworks and teaching practice, this edited volume draws on examples from literary texts and pop culture such as young adult novels, music videos, or rap songs and investigates their potential for developing critical literacies. The book considers foreign language teaching outside of English teaching contexts and sets the groundwork for addressing the integration of taboo topics in foreign language education theory, research, and practice. Filling an important gap in educational research, the book will be of great interest to researchers, academics, and students of foreign language education, critical pedagogy, and applied linguistics. It will also be useful reading for teacher trainers and educators of foreign language education. Chapter 1 of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.taylorfrancis.com.

Download or read book Technology-Assisted Language Assessment in Diverse Contexts written by Karim Sadeghi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely collection explores the role of digital technology in language education and assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic. It recognises the unique pressures which the COVID-19 pandemic placed on assessment in language education, and examines the forced shift in assessment strategies to go online, the existing shortfalls, as well as unique affordances of technology-assisted L2 assessment.

Book Synopsis The Acquisition of Grammatical Skills and Its Relation to Reading Comprehension in ESL Students [microform] by : Margaret Yiu-ki Kong Lam
Download or read book The Acquisition of Grammatical Skills and Its Relation to Reading Comprehension in ESL Students [microform] written by Margaret Yiu-ki Kong Lam and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2005 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results provided strong support for the Parallel Model, suggesting that in general, ESL students acquire grammatical skills in much the same way as EL1 children. Support for the Interactive Model was weak, as differences were found only when the acquisition of individual grammatical features was examined. Still, a convergent perspective is required to explain the acquisition of grammar in ESL children. This model adopts the Parallel Model of L2 acquisition in general, but also acknowledges that language-specific L1 influence may occur in the acquisition of individual linguistic features. The present research asked whether acquisition of grammatical skills in English-as-a second-language (ESL) students best fits one of the two models of second language (L2) acquisition: The Parallel Model and The Interactive Model. The role of grammatical skills, as well as vocabulary knowledge, and phonological processing skills in reading comprehension were also examined. Results regarding reading comprehension indicated that grammatical sensitivity was a relatively strong predictor for EL1 readers but not for ESL students. Phonological awareness was the most significant predictor for reading comprehension in ESL students, whereas vocabulary knowledge was most significant in predicting reading comprehension of EL1 students. For ESL students, grammatical skills and vocabulary knowledge may be subsumed under a broad construct of language proficiency. Hence, impact from grammatical skills upon reading comprehension in ESL readers, may be indirect. Vocabulary knowledge was consistently found to be a significant predictor for grammatical skills in both ESL and EL1 groups in grades 1, 2 and 3. Both phonological awareness and phonological memory were strong predictors for EL1 children. Phonological awareness played a more important role for the Cantonese-speaking ESL students but not for the Punjabi speaking ESL children. Implications for teaching ESL reading suggest the importance of phonological processing skills as well as general proficiency in language, including vocabulary knowledge and grammatical skills. Early identification and intervention of ESL students at-risk for reading difficulty may be possible by examining children's phonological processing skills and vocabulary knowledge in early primary grades.
