English-Spanish Translation of the text: ‘The nature and scope of later language development’ with a detailed analysis of the techniques used by the translator.
Paper presented at the First International Conference on Language, Literature and Culture 'The Said and the Unsaid' organised by the University of Vlora, Albania (September 2010). Discusses attitudes and practices regarding English as a Lingua Franca.
- English has spread globally and is widely used internationally as a lingua franca. It has an estimated 2 billion speakers worldwide.
- Some view the global spread of English as linguistic imperialism that disadvantages other languages, while others see it as the natural result of English being in the right place at the right time historically.
- Models have been proposed to describe the different varieties of English used globally, including inner/outer/expanding circles and norms-providing/developing/dependent varieties, but these models have limitations and may be giving way to new conceptions like English as a lingua franca.
This document discusses English as a global lingua franca and issues related to teaching English. It begins by defining a lingua franca as a language used for communication between speakers of different first languages. English has become the dominant global lingua franca due to Britain's former colonial power. While a global language provides advantages of wider communication, it can also perpetuate power imbalances. The document then discusses debates around which variety of English to teach, noting arguments for both teaching standardized English as well as recognizing World Englishes. It also considers teaching English as a lingua franca without focusing on native-speaker norms. Finally, the document examines debates around defining native English speakers and their role as teachers.
Language transfer can be classified into negative transfer and positive transfer. The former is caused by the similarities shared by source language and target language, the latter is attributed to the differences between two languages. Linguists abroad and home have put forward that native language can promote students’ understanding of second language (Jarvis and Pavlenko, 2008; Wen, 2010). In the process of second language learning, especially for Junior High School students, the knowledge of native language can help students to complete their tasks. When learning the target language, they will unconsciously use the previous information to think and achieve the purpose of second language learning. Native language plays a fundamental role in second language learning. For students, it can facilitate the study of second language in some extent. Vocabulary is the foundation of language. As the beginning stage, English teaching in Junior high school should give priority to vocabulary learning. Then, whether Chinese plays a facilitate role in the process of students’ vocabulary learning? And if it has, what are the factors that influence language transfer? What teaching methods can teacher employed to students’ vocabulary learning? These are main contents of this study.
The document discusses the subject of Applied Linguistics, which introduces students to the fields of second language acquisition and critical discourse analysis. These fields are important for language teachers to understand in order to improve their practice. Applied Linguistics also helps students examine the relationship between language and social context to develop awareness of inequalities expressed through language. The subject provides an interface between theory and practice to help solve problems related to language use in different contexts.
The document provides a history of the term "applied linguistics" including its origins in the 1940s at the University of Michigan and its initial focus on foreign language teaching and automatic translation. It discusses debates around defining applied linguistics and alternative terms that were proposed. While initially focused on linguistics application, the field has broadened in scope over time to incorporate diverse disciplines and address a wider range of language-related issues beyond teaching. Disagreements remain around what constitutes applied linguistics and how broadly or narrowly it should be defined.

The document discusses the scope and definition of applied linguistics. It begins by stating that applied linguistics is not exclusively about language teaching, but also involves other fields that utilize linguistic knowledge like speech therapy, literary criticism, and communications engineering. It then distinguishes applied linguistics as an activity rather than a theoretical study, using linguistic findings to address practical problems. Finally, it maps out the scope of applied linguistics by classifying its areas of study into three categories: language and education, language, work, and law, and language, information, and effect. Several examples are provided for each category to illustrate the broad and diverse range of activities to which applied linguistics is relevant.

This document discusses raising students' awareness of how communicative competence and (in)competence are constructed in international classrooms. It covers several topics related to this, including the existence of multiple models of English promoted for economic reasons, the fluid nature of language borders, the importance of performance strategies and social negotiations in multilingual communication, and how elements of English as a lingua franca could be useful to teach native speakers. Examples of classroom interactions are also analyzed to demonstrate how (in)competence can be constructed through repetition and rephrasing.
This document summarizes a paper about the functions of code switching in English language teaching classrooms. It discusses code switching between a native language and the target language in the discourse of both teachers and students. It describes functions like topic switching, building rapport, repetition for clarity, filling gaps in knowledge, and avoiding conflict. It acknowledges debates around both supporting and limiting the use of code switching long term for students learning the target language.
This document discusses different approaches to language learning and the connections between language and content in CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) contexts. It describes the communicative approach to language teaching, which emphasizes using language in authentic interactive settings. In CLIL, language learning involves systematically progressing in both content learning and language learning and using. The document introduces the Language Triptych model for integrating language learning objectives with content objectives, including language of learning, language for learning, and language through learning.

Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that addresses practical language-related problems in order to improve lives and society. It draws on theories and methods from linguistics as well as other disciplines like education, sociology, and psychology. Applied linguistics aims to identify, analyze, and solve language problems through existing linguistic theories or by developing new frameworks. It focuses on empirically investigating real-world language issues, unlike purely theoretical linguistics. Some key areas of applied linguistics include second language acquisition, literacy, language policy, discourse analysis, and computer-mediated communication.
The teacher explained that applied linguistics uses all sciences to solve language problems. It is related to linguistics fields like phonetics, morphology, semantics and syntax. Applied linguistics is also connected to psycholinguistics, psychology, sociology, pedagogy, didactics and ethnography as they all inform how humans use and learn language within social and cultural contexts.
This document summarizes three language acquisition theories: the Creative Construction Theory, Communicative Language Teaching, and the Cognitive Approach. It provides details on Stephen Krashen's Theory of Second Language Acquisition, including his claims about three internal language processors. It also describes how Communicative Language Teaching emerged in response to Chomsky's criticisms and was influenced by sociolinguists. Finally, it notes that the Cognitive Approach views second language acquisition as building up an automatic knowledge system.

New insights into the study of conversation: Applications to the language classroom.
This document discusses a proposed research study that will analyze how intonation patterns in Spanish affect English spoken by Spanish speakers. Specifically, it will look at how Spanish intonation patterns influence English tag questions. The study will select 4 Spanish-speaking English language learners at the B2 level to observe their speaking tasks, recordings, and interviews. It will use a case study approach and data triangulation to compare observations with interviews and tasks. The goal is to determine which aspects of Spanish phonology influence English intonation acquisition and identify differences in intentions between Spanish and English tag questions.
Applied linguistics is the branch of linguistics concerned with practical applications of language studies, such as language teaching, translation, and speech therapy. It involves solving language-related problems or addressing language-related concerns. Early applied linguistics work focused on improving foreign language teaching using a scientific approach. Over time, applied linguistics has evolved to encompass many disciplines and contexts involving language issues in fields such as law, speech pathology, and language planning. Modern applied linguists study topics like multilingualism, literacy, and language policies with the goal of providing practical insights for language users.
WILLIAM ALLAN KRITSONIS was recognized as the Central Washington University Alumni Association Distinguished Alumnus for the College of Education and Professional Studies. He was honored by the Texas National Association for Multicultural Education as Professor, Scholar, and Pioneer Publisher for Distinguished Service to Multicultural Research Publishing. The ceremony was held at Texas A&M University-College Station. He was inducted into the prestigious William H. Parker Leadership Academy Hall of Honor. He was an Invited Visiting Lecturer at the Oxford Round Table at Oriel College in the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. Dr. Kritsonis was a Visiting Scholar at Columbia University’s Teacher College in New York, and Visiting Scholar in the School of Education at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California.
Applied linguistics involves using knowledge about language to teach, learn, or solve problems related to language. It has traditionally focused on teaching second languages. In the 20th century, behaviorism became a dominant theory in applied linguistics. Later, Hymes added the concept of communicative competence, emphasizing that language involves more than just grammar. Technology has had a major impact on applied linguistics by enabling large-scale language analysis. A sociocultural perspective now recognizes the social and contextual aspects of language.
PLURICENTRICITY OF LANGUAGES AS A CHALLENGE FOR TRANSLATORS/INTERPRETERSJelena Kostic-Tomovic
1) A pluricentric language has at least two standard varieties spoken in different countries by different ethnic groups. German and Serbo-Croatian are provided as examples.
2) When a language is spoken over a vast area, regional varieties develop, and languages tend to be defined by the nation, state, and language.
3) Translating and interpreting between standard varieties of pluricentric languages can present challenges both objectively in terms of terminology and vocabulary differences, and subjectively based on attitudes toward the varieties.
4) Translators and interpreters must be aware of these challenges and acquire additional competencies to work between the different standard varieties of pluricentric languages. The needs and preferences of the client
Applied linguistics uses knowledge about language and how it is learned and used to solve problems in the real world. It encompasses 18 topic areas including language acquisition, assessment, cognition, culture, instruction, media, policy, reading, society, and technology. The dominant application of applied linguistics has been teaching and learning second/foreign languages. In the 20th century, the grammar-translation method was commonly used but grew rigid, leading to new methods emphasizing accuracy and communicative competence over just grammatical rules. Chomsky's theory of universal grammar and Hymes' communicative competence influenced second language teaching approaches.
This document summarizes a research study that investigated the impact of different mathematics curricula on the mathematical reasoning of 11th grade students in Pakistan. The study found that students' reasoning was linked to their understanding of when and how to code switch between English and Urdu. Students who code switched generated qualitatively different reasoning than when using just English. The bilingual context provided opportunities for students to overcome cognitive barriers, and students who hybridized the languages benefited the most. The study highlights the need to consider language-specific representations in mathematical thinking and develop methodologies to capture these in international research.
The document provides a history of language teaching methods from the 19th century to modern times. It begins with the Grammar Translation Method which dominated European language teaching from 1840-1940s and focused on grammar rules, translation, reading, and writing. In the late 19th century, specialists like Marcel, Prendergast, and Gouin created new strategies emphasizing meaning and oral proficiency. The Reform Movement in the early 20th century advocated principles based on linguistic analysis and speech. This led to the Direct Method, which aimed to think directly in the target language without translation. While popular in Europe, it declined in schools by the 1920s. Modern methods from the 1950s on included Audio-Lingual, Situ
Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that applies linguistic theory and methods to real-world problems. The term was first used in the 1940s but applications of linguistics occurred prior. Definitions of applied linguistics have varied over time, from focusing on foreign language teaching to having a broader scope that draws on multiple disciplines. While not all applied linguistics is practical, the field addresses real-world issues and aims to advance fields like education. Recent discussions emphasize that the scope of applied linguistics is wide-ranging and involves analyzing language problems.
Applied linguistics uses knowledge about language, how it is learned, and how it is used to solve real-world problems. It includes areas like second language teaching, literacy, speech pathology, and translation. Applied linguistics has developed over the 20th century through different language teaching methods like the direct method, grammar translation, and audiolingualism. More recently, it views language in holistic and integrative ways rather than discrete skills, and considers the language learner's perspective. It also takes new approaches to teaching the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Applied linguistics often lacks definitive answers because language occurs between people and in the mind.
Applied linguistics aims to investigate problems involving language in both educational and social contexts. It has broad scope as language impacts many aspects of daily life. Applied linguistics is relevant to language and education including first language, additional language, clinical linguistics and language testing. It also applies to language in work and law such as workplace communication, language planning and forensic linguistics. Finally, it relates to language for information and effect including literary stylistics, critical discourse analysis, translation and interpretation, information design and lexicography.

The document summarizes two case studies on language acquisition:
1) A 3-year study of Wes, a Japanese man learning English in Hawaii, which found he improved in communication but still had inaccuracies.
2) A study of two boys, J and R, learning English requests in a London classroom over 1-2 years, which found they progressed through developmental sequences to perform requests formulaically.
The studies illustrate the complex nature of second language acquisition and importance of considering both accuracy and ability over time.
The document summarizes two case studies on second language acquisition. The first case study followed a Japanese man named Wes learning English in Hawaii over three years through naturalistic exposure. It found that while his grammar accuracy did not reach native levels, he developed communication abilities. The second case study compared two boys, J from Portugal and R from Pakistan, learning English in a classroom setting. It found that both were able to perform simple requests and their abilities developed sequentially despite different first languages. The studies illustrate the complexity of second language acquisition and need for distinguishing between learner knowledge and performance.

The document summarizes two case studies on second language acquisition. The first case study followed an adult learner of English in Hawaii over three years and observed his development, finding he improved in communication but still had inaccuracies. The second case study compared two boys learning English in a classroom in London, finding they both progressed through developmental sequences of simple requests in similar ways despite different first languages. The document also discusses defining features of language acquisition like the use of errors, formulas, and systematic learning over time.
This document discusses the declining English proficiency levels among Filipino high school students and the rationale for improving English skills. It notes that English proficiency is deteriorating based on national test scores, and that only 1 in 5 public high school teachers are proficient in English. The government recognizes the problem and has taken steps like mandating English instruction in elementary schools. The document presents a study that aims to determine the English proficiency level of fourth year high school students at Dalaguete National High School and provide recommendations for improvement.
The document provides a history of language teaching methods from the 1500s to present day. It begins with Latin being the dominant language of education in the 1500s, though French, Italian, and English gained prominence in the 1600s. The 1700s-1900s saw the promotion of Latin in schools through grammar-focused instruction. In the 1800s, modern languages began to be taught using the same grammar-translation approach. Reform movements in the late 1800s advocated for a more natural approach focused on speaking, resulting in the Direct Method in the early 1900s emphasizing communication over translation. However, these natural methods proved difficult to implement in schools. Throughout the 20th century, debates occurred over the best language teaching methods to use

This document discusses the history and principles of communicative language teaching (CLT). It describes how methods have shifted over time from the grammar-translation method to more recent approaches focused on meaningful communication. The audiolingual method emphasized repetition and habit formation but failed to develop students' communicative abilities. CLT emerged due to theories of language as rule-governed creativity and a view of language's primary function as communication. CLT organizes instruction around real-life tasks and uses the target language to maximize engagement and language use.
Psycholinguistics is the study of how humans acquire, use, comprehend, and produce language, including in individuals who know more than one language. Researchers try to develop models to describe and predict specific linguistic behaviors of bilingual speakers. Factors that must be considered include incomplete second language knowledge, greater hesitancy and errors in the second language, and traces of the first language. Proposals have been made about how bilinguals keep their languages separate, such as storing words from each language in separate subsets. Language choice is influenced not just by semantics but also by which language matches the preverbal message. Experimental studies have measured response times to images to study language production and infer relative proficiency between a bilingual's first and second
This document summarizes the importance of vocabulary in language learning. It discusses how vocabulary is the foundation of language and essential for communication. While grammar provides structure, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed. The document also outlines strategies for vocabulary development, including extensive reading, instruction in specific words, word-learning strategies, and word consciousness activities. Communicative language teaching through role plays and real-life situations is presented as an effective approach for vocabulary acquisition.
This document discusses topics related to second language acquisition, including:
1. Hot topics in SLA research such as explicit vs implicit learning, input, output, and frequency.
2. Theoretical perspectives on SLA including Krashen's Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis, Monitor Hypothesis, Natural Order Hypothesis, and Input Hypothesis.
3. Theoretical views on how a second language can best be learned, including the Grammar Translation Method, Audio-Lingual Methods, and Communicative Approaches.
4. The role of linguistic universals in SLA, including linguistic universals themselves, language typology, and the accessibility hierarchy.
The audio-lingual approach emphasizes oral skills and pattern practice. It originated as the Army Method during WWII and was influenced by behaviorism. Key principles include: foreign language is an oral skill first; learning occurs through habit formation using repetition and memorization; and the teacher guides learning through drills and practice. However, it declined in the 1960s as Chomsky criticized its behaviorist foundations and students had difficulty applying skills outside the classroom.
This document discusses language acquisition and learning. It notes that language acquisition is a natural and subconscious process that occurs when people are exposed to a language from an early age, as is the case with first language acquisition in children. Language learning, on the other hand, is a more conscious process that can involve studying grammar rules. The document also discusses second language acquisition and notes some key differences from first language acquisition, including the importance of exposure, comprehension, and interaction/practice. The remainder of the document discusses the history of adopting mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines, including an initial pilot project, and highlights research showing cognitive, educational, and proficiency benefits of using students' mother tongues
Applied Linguistics session 111 0_07_12_2021 Applied linguistics challenges.pdfDr.Badriya Al Mamari
Applied linguistics is a branch of linguistics that applies linguistic theories and methods to solve language-related problems. It originated in the 1950s and draws from various fields like sociology, psychology, and computing. Applied linguistics covers areas like second language teaching, language disorders, and the use of technology for language learning. It aims to improve language efficiency and address issues like how best to teach languages based on social and cultural factors. Corpora, or large electronic collections of authentic texts, are an important tool used in applied linguistics research to study language quantitatively and qualitatively.
LITERACY PRACTICES AMONG TERTIARY STUDENTS IN THE WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICAijejournal
Language and critically thinking play a major role in academic performance. In multilingual contexts,
multiple factors account for the way Second Language (L2) learners make sense of the academic texts they
read. The students’ multilingual and multicultural diversity impacts on their interpretation of academic
texts. This article is derived from a work with mixed method but focuses on qualitative design. This article
qualitatively analyses how L2 students read and interpret academic texts in South African Universities.
Members of a study group were interviewed both as a group and individually. In the end, students’ study
practices towards academic literacy reveals translanguaging as one strategy of interpreting academic. One
argument is that most African Universities have English as a medium of instructions whereas the students
are often from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This diversity tends to influence the way
students read and interpret academic texts.
International Journal of Education (IJE)ijejournal
International Journal of Education (IJE) is a Quarterly peer-reviewed and refereed open access journal that publishes articles which contribute new results in all areas of Educatioan. The journal is devoted to the publication of high quality papers on theoretical and practical aspects of Educational research.
The goal of this journal is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on Educational advancements, and establishing new collaborations in these areas. Original research papers, state-of-the-art reviews are invited for publication in all areas of Education.
This document discusses the importance of context in language comprehension and learning. It presents research showing that providing contextual information and activating students' background knowledge can improve comprehension. Visual aids like pictures and videos are found to help lower-level learners, while techniques like discussing vocabulary, titles and questions are also effective, especially for more advanced learners. The role of schema theory is explained, which holds that comprehension involves both bottom-up processing of textual details and top-down processing using context and expectations. Contextualizing language instruction and practice is recommended over isolated teaching of forms.
RESEARCH INTO THE NEW MODEL OF COLLEGE ENGLISH TEACHING-A MULTIMODALITY APPROACHIJITE
Currently, the application of the network resources and various means of teaching such as multimedia into
the classroom has led to the demonstration of multimodality in college English teaching. This paper
analyzes the current status of college English teaching and the existing problems, elaborates the research
trends of the theory of multimodal discourse analysis, and aims to explore the question as how to construct
college English teaching model from the perspective of multimodal discourse. Under the multimodalitybased college English teaching model, teachers should concentrate on cultivating students’ multi-literacy,
coordinating different modalities, to achieve the teaching objectives.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
