What is language?

Language and Cognition
Eight modes of human activities
involving language
• Listening: comprehending oral input/intake
• Speaking: constructing meaningful utterances
• Reading: understanding written texts
• Writing: producing written texts/discourse
• Viewing: attending to visual signs/information
• Shaping: using visual means of expression
• Watching: attending to the movements
• Moving: using the whole body / person
Language and Thinking
• Language is more than Communication Skills
• Language is linked to the Thinking Process
• BICS versus CALP
• BICS are Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills;
these are the "surface" skills of listening and speaking
which are typically acquired quickly by many students;
particularly by those from language backgrounds similar
to English who spend a lot of their school time
interacting with native speakers.
• Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency using
language as a tool for discourse functions
• Goal: Developing „Conceptual Literacy“
• Solving cognitively demanding tasks in a more and
more de-contextualized manner
• Cognitive-Cultural Variables for school success
