language learning :
It is the result of direct instruction in the rules of language
And it certainly is not an age-appropriate activity for young learners.
In language learning, students have conscious knowledge of the new language and can talk about that knowledge.
They can fill in the blanks on a grammar page.
language acquisition :
Children acquire language through a subconscious process during which they are unaware of grammatical rules.
They readily acquire the language to communicate with friends.
In order to acquire language, the learner needs a source of natural communication. The emphasis is on the text of the communication and not on the form.
Young students who are in the process of acquiring English get plenty of “on the job” practice.
The Acculturation Model is a model of second language acquisition designed by John H. Schumann (1978) and it is based on the social-psychology of acculturation
This slides discuss about the nature of language, the nature of learning and the nature of language learning. In addition, this slides discuss about method and techniques in language teaching and learning.

The Intercultural Being: Fostering Cross-Cultural Interactions in a Globalize...Amanda M. Bent
Today we live in a globalized world where we engage in cross-cultural dialogue on a daily basis. As a result of our participation in this growing multicultural environment, our cultural identities are being redefined, as we transcend borders, and broaden our connections to various communities, at home and abroad. While we have achieved new levels of peace and unity, it is evident that discrimination, prejudice, and bias still plague our society and impact our interactions with others.
In this presentation I will critically examine cross-cultural interactions that take place in the ESL classroom, discussing how we as teachers can shape our students into multilingually aware and interculturally competent world citizens.

INTERNATIONALIZATION
Internationalization is about taking the rest of the world seriously, not only one’s home country, and can be thought of as the formal term for thinking globally before acting locally. It requires knowing enough about the larger world to act appropriately in a specific context and location, especially when interacting with cultural others.
INTERNATIONALIZATION: "any systematic sustained effort aimed at making higher education more responsive to the requirements and challenges related to the globalization of societies, economy and labor markets" Kalvermark and Van Der Wende (1997)
INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE: "the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately in intercultural situations based on one's intercultural knowledge, skills and attitudes" Deardroff (2006)
E-learning and intercultural dimensions of learning theories and teaching modelseLearning Papers
Author: Claire Bélisle.
It will be argued in this article that developing intercultural awareness in students can be facilitated by e-learning environments. When choosing to address learning goals within an e-learning environment, authors and educators need to become aware of hidden dimensions in their pedagogical activity.
Globalisation and the increasing use of technology
have greatly influenced how people work and interact
socially.
In today’s world being able to search for information
from various sources is essential to a person’s success.
The better and stronger an education a person has the
more qualified and prepared they are to evaluate
information and act on it.

2. Objectives
• To determine if there is a
correlation between multilingualism
and cognitive ability.
• To determine if multilingualism
translates into higher grades and
greater academic achievement.
• To determine if the number of
languages in which a person has
achieved proficiency impacts their
economic advancement, stability,
and status.
3. Cultural Capital
• Pierre Bourdieu (1986) The Forms of Capital:
• Cultural capital can exist in three forms: in the embodied state, i.e., in the form of long-
lasting dispositions of the mind and body; in the objectified state, in the form of cultural
goods (pictures, books, dictionaries, instruments, machines, etc.), which are the trace or
realization of theories or critiques of these theories, problematics, etc.; and in
the institutionalized state, a form of objectification which must be set apart because, as
will be seen in the case of educational qualifications, it confers entirely original properties
on the cultural capital which it is presumed to guarantee (241-258).
5. Shift in research in the 1960s to 1980s:
Multilingual strengths in childhood:
• Flexibility
• Good at substitution
• Use of semantic cues
• Metalinguistic awareness
• Making corrections
Multilingual strengths in adulthood:
• Comparison of language rules
• Cognitive reserve
• Memory
• Abstract thinking
• Greater attention
9. Globalisation
Advantages
• Multilingualism accepted
• Job market
• Promotes self-efficacy
Disadvantages
• Minority and tribal languages
• Impact on elderly, poor and
immigrants
• Dialect and “high” form of a
language
10. Multilingualism as Cultural Capital
Possibilities
• Language immersion programs
• Focus on literacy
• Multilingualism and multicultural
values
Impediments
• Political power of particular
languages
• Immigration and prejudice
• Lack of focused curriculum on
formal language
