TOPIC 1
Bi-/multi-lingual
individuals:
What does it mean to
be bilingual or
multilingual?
The ability to use more than one language to communicate
But to what level of competence?
Basic/minimal Advanced
Balanced bilingualism is rare
Very few bilinguals have equal competence or use their languages
equally.
• Typically, each person has a different mix of the four skills:
listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
• ‘Passive’ BL = stronger comprehension (listening) than speaking
competence
• Others may have advanced competence in more than 1 language
but have degrees of competence in different domains (e.g. work
vs home)
What about you?
When, where,
with whom do
you use each
language?
For each one,
rate your ability
in listening,
speaking,
reading and
writing
List the languages
in which you have
a degree of
competency
Multi-lingual individuals
First language (L1)
mother-tongue(s), native language(s), that we hear spoken from birth
Second language (L2)
language(s) learned later in childhood or adulthood
Different learning processes are involved:
acquisition (of L1) vs learning (of L2)
How do we become bilingual/multilingual?
Simultaneous bilingualism
2 or more languages are acquired simultaneously in early childhood.
Successive bilingualism
a person who already has competence in a L1 learns a L2 (or L3, L4 …)
How long does it take to acquire a L1?
Humans are biologically equipped to learn language in infancy:
We are born with brains that are ‘wired’ for language - the capacity to figure out
the grammar and words of the specific language(s) we hear spoken around us
Most of that learning is complete by 5 years of age for children in all cultures
How long does it take to learn a L2?
After puberty, deliberate effort or study is needed to master a language
Up to 10 or more years for full control of oral and written language.
◦ Basic interpersonal communication skills within 2 years.
◦ Academic language proficiency up to 8 years
(Cummins 1984)
To be effective, L2 learning requires
üFrequent input data
üMeaningful and authentic opportunities for using the language
üPerceived value and/or need for the language
üWillingness & motivation
Bilingual education in schools
Typically the L2 is taught in a ‘foreign language class’.
Much less often it is the medium of instruction
Foreign language class teaching in countries where one language is dominant
often fails:
◦ too little exposure
◦ not often enough
◦ started too late
◦ too few opportunities to use the language actively and authentically.
How did you learn
your L2, L3, L4…?

school/university?

The World Is Not Flat (Rossomondo & Lord, ACTFL2015)Gillian Lord
Language educators are eager to transform their teaching by embracing new technologies, be they digital tools, Web-based resources, or ancillaries that accompany textbook packages. While there is no doubt that digital materials facilitate opportunities for exposing learners to authentic language and structuring interaction at a distance, many wonder when and how these technologies will cease to be add-ons begin to serve a more integrative function in transforming language teaching and learning.
In this session we propose that the paper-based textbook has outlived its usefulness in today’s world, logistically and pedagogically. We focus on two aspects of the future paperless classroom: what students do on their own time and how; and what can be done during class time and how. Specific examples are provided from an existing digital learning environment and a project in development in Spanish, but the theoretical and practical principles are applicable to any language and level.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
