This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on quantitative and qualitative data from teachers and students in Hong Kong’s secondary schools, this book examines critical questions in relation to language learning motivation and instructional contexts. Readers are provided with a critical overview of developments in theory and research on language learning motivation and the potential to further extend these developments. Grounded in the Douglas Fir Group conceptualization of language learning, the book explores the complex interplay of diverse factors that shape learners’ motivation. It offers a unique window into the situated nature of language learning motivation in the macro, meso, and micro contexts of a Chinese heritage society. In so doing, it brings the Chinese voice into the theorization of this important language learning construct. Potential future research avenues are suggested, and implications for policy and practice are discussed. This book will be a useful resource for academics and postgraduates interested in the fields of English as a second language (ESL), English language teaching, language teaching and learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than three million students globally are on the move each year, crossing borders for their tertiary education. Many travel from Asia and Africa to English speaking countries, led by the United States, including the UK, Australia and New Zealand where students pay tuition fees at commercial rates and prop up an education export sector that has become lucrative for the provider nations. But the 'no frills' commercial form of tertiary education, designed to minimise costs and maximise revenues, leaves many international students inadequately protected and less than satisfied. International Student Security draws on a close study of international students in Australia, and exposes opportunity, difficulty, danger and courage on a massive scale in the global student market. It works through many unresolved issues confronting students and their families, including personal safety, language proficiency, finances, sub-standard housing, loneliness and racism.

This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, , language: English, abstract: The primary objective of this research was to gather data on personality differences which were affecting teachers teaching methods. The study was necessitated by having scenarios where Chinese’s students exhibited different learning styles due to the different personality traits. As a future teacher I felt the need to conduct this research and back up several studies that had been done on English learning as a foreign language. The study also checked and evaluated how personality differences affected learning and the personality effects in teachers teaching methods for Chinese college students. The study used qualitative study using literature review as methodology and described in-depth the conceptual philosophy, study strategy, data collecting procedure and techniques, strengths and limitations and ethical issues that were taken into consideration. There are different research philosophies that governed the study with qualitative research including ontology and epistemology. The research reported and discussed the cultural trends and the attitudes as well as approaches that Chinese college students had to their studies. The study also found out that Chinese college students used the major learning styles of rote, silent and passive. The study found that personality traits associated with students have a significant influence on the success of learning English as a second language.

This book was released on 2023-07-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is becoming increasingly interconnected with the impact of globalization, technologies and transportation. The intercultural contacts and encounters dramatically accelerated. People have more opportunities to travel, to conduct businesses, or to receive education in other countries. The increased intercultural contacts and encounters implies the intercultural competence and foreign language competency for individuals to study, to work and to live effectively in the culturally diverse and digitally-connected global communities. This also heightened the needs for foreign language programs in universities and colleges to improve students' intercultural competence and language aptitude, which have become one of the objectives of foreign language programs. Foreign language teaching and learning needs to be focusing on both language aptitude and intercultural competence. As two important factors affecting students' foreign language learning, intercultural competence and language learning motivation have been increasingly stressed in the field of second language acquisition. However, there are few scholars who investigate the intercultural competence from the perspective of language learning motivation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between English language learners' intercultural competence, their attitudes towards the language, and their motivation patterns and motivation intensity of learning English. This correlational study is expected to provide statistical evidences for research on intercultural competence from perspective of language learning motivation, and is also hoped to shed light on foreign language teaching and research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the impact of intercultural learning, intercultural social interaction and critical reflection on the experience of overseas Chinese postgraduate students in a British university. It illustrates that students' individual intercultural learning experiences may vary according to prevailing cultural tendencies, their preparedness for and openness towards different education norms, level of intercultural awareness and understanding, plus motivation for personal change through socio-cultural encounter and interaction. This is an in-depth one-year ethnographic and narrative study of ten overseas Chinese students' life stories and perceptions on their lived experiences studying for master's courses in a British university. It takes intercultural learning to be a reflexive process of encounter and adaptation, which leads to qualitative changes in students' learning approaches, perspectives and worldviews. The findings of the research also suggest that intercultural learning is an engine of change, personal growth and identity development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Third Space and Chinese Language Pedagogy presents the Third Space as a new frame through which foreign language pedagogy is conceptualized as a pedagogy of negotiating intentions and expectations in another culture. The field of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) in the past decades has been expanding rapidly at the beginning and intermediate levels, yet it is lacking in scholarship on the true advanced level both in theory building and research-supported curriculum and material development. This book argues that it is time for CFL to go beyond merely satisfying the desire of gazing at the other, whether it is curiosity about the other or superiority over the other, to focusing on learning to work with the other. It reimagines the field as co-constructing a transcultural Third Space where learners are becoming experts in negotiating intentions and expectations in another culture. It presents a range of research-based CFL pedagogical scholarship and practices especially relevant to the advanced level and to the goal of enabling learners to go past fans or critics to become actors/players in the game of cross-lingual and intercultural cooperation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when East travels West? In today’s increasingly globalized world, these collisions are becoming increasingly common in universities– especially due to the growth of migratory students . As the largest international population studying abroad in the world, Chinese students’ learning experience in an intercultural environment calls for more attention. This book covers an array of problems common to Chinese students studying abroad and explores how these students academically adjust to an intercultural environment. It also highlights how they familiarize themselves with the education system, ranging from the types of courses, academic tasks and examinations to the structure of the education as a whole in the host country, as they negotiate the gulf between academic expectations at home versus those in the host university environment and communicate with domestic lecturers and students.

This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents mixed-methods research into Chinese students' willingness to communicate (WTC) in an EFL classroom context. The interrelationships between WTC and motivation, communication confidence, learner beliefs and classroom environment are examined using structural equation modelling on data collected in a large-scale survey. These results are then complemented and expanded upon in a follow-up multiple case-study that identifies six themes which account for fluctuations of WTC over time and across situations. The qualitative and quantitative data provide the grounds for the proposition of an ecological model of WTC in the Chinese EFL university classroom, which reveals that WTC is socioculturally constructed as a function of the interaction of individual and environmental factors inside and beyond the classroom walls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the identity formation and negotiation of Chinese doctoral students in the UK, and the opportunity for self-transformation this experience offers. As the largest group of international students in the English-speaking world, Mainland Chinese students encounter a range of difficulties and prospects that may be relevant to the wider international student community. Using extensive qualitative and empirical data, the author explores the narratives of eleven Chinese doctoral students at two British universities through a sociological perspective. Balancing analysis with solid theoretical framework and the voices of the students themselves, the author moves away from essentialism and ‘othering’, instead shining a light on the effects of globalisation, internationalisation and recent policy strategies. This volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of comparative and international education, identity formation, intercultural communication, the sociology of education and study abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is an important affective factor in second/foreign language learning (Dörnyei, 1990; Gardner, 1985). While considerable studies have examined students' motivation in English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts, a majority of them focused on university students and adult learners (Boo et al., 2015; Butler, 2015b; Jin et al., 2014; Lamb, 2017; Xu & Case, 2015). This study addresses the gaps in previous research and focuses on upper elementary (Grade 6) English learners in China. First, this study developed and examined the psychometric properties of a motivation survey for upper elementary English learners in China. Furthermore, this study investigated the effects of three motivational factors- perceived parental influence, perceived peer influence, and English learning experience-on English achievement. A first version of the motivation survey was designed and piloted among 493 Grade 6 students from four public schools (school A, school B, school C, school D) that are located in different socioeconomic areas in an economically and socioculturally less developed city in China. Data from the pilot study were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Based on the results of EFA, the first version of the motivation survey was revised. Another sample of participants (N=657) was recruited from Grade 6 classrooms in four public schools (school A with different classrooms from the pilot study, school E, school F, school G) in the same city. Schools B, C, D share similar characteristics as schools E, F, and G. These participants completed the revised version of the motivation survey. Their English scores from the school district level achievement tests in Grade 5 and Grade 6 were collected as a measure of foreign language achievement. Factor analyses across the three samples identified that Ideal L2 self, Ought-to L2 self, English learning experience, parent-oriented motivation, and peer-oriented motivation were five unique and correlated factors. In addition, all five factors had adequate-to-high internal consistency reliability coefficients. The overall model fit of the five correlated factors was satisfactory. Regarding the effects of motivational factors on foreign language achievement, structural equation modeling found that English learning experience, defined as the extent to which students enjoy learning English or students' attitudes toward learning English, had a significant direct effect on English achievement, even after controlling for students' prior English achievement. Additionally, children's perceived parental influence and peer influence indirectly affected English achievement via their English learning experience (i.e. attitudes toward learning English). The findings from the factor analyses across three samples provided preliminary validation of a survey that can be used to measure upper elementary English learners' motivation. The findings also suggest that, when using surveys in L2 motivation research, researchers need to take participants' ages into consideration. The findings from the structural equation modeling deepen our understanding of the relationship between motivation and foreign language achievement and have implications for parents and language educators in elementary schools in China.

Book excerpt: This book is about the learner side of the teaching and learning equilibrium, centering on the educational experiences and perspectives of Chinese students in the United States. These students ranged from kindergarteners, adolescents, undergraduate, graduate, to adult learners, across the educational spectrum. Because Chinese students are the largest cohort among all international students in the U.S., and their prior educational experiences and perspectives in China are so different from those in the U.S., exploring who they are, what their learning experiences have been, and how their learning needs can be better met, may not only allow U.S. educators to teach them more effectively, but also help the educational community in both countries better learn about and from each other. The chapters in the book examine the constructs of learner privilege and responsibility in the teaching and learning equation, cultural and linguistic challenges and transitional adjustments, self-concept, learning strategies, comparison and contrast of differences and similarities between Chinese and American students, and/or critical reflections on significant issues confronting Chinese learners. While each chapter is situated in its own research literature and connects with its own teaching and learning practices, all of them are united around the overarching themes of the book: the experiences and perspectives of diverse learners from Chinese backgrounds in the United States. The chapters also flesh out some of the larger theoretical/pedagogical issues between education in China and in the United States, provide useful lenses for rethinking about and better understanding their differences and similarities, as well as offer pertinent suggestions about how the educational community in both countries may benefit from learning about and from each other.
