19 sept. 2019 — 13 h à 14 h 30
Le Centre canadien d’études et de recherche en bilinguisme et aménagement linguistique (CCERBAL)n vous invite chaleureusement à son prochain forum de recherche sur Translanguaging and Trans-semiotizing in Content-based Education, présenté par Angel M. Y. Lin, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Plurilingual and Intercultural Education, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University.
Résumé :
From the 1960s to the new millennium, different terms have arisen in diverse research traditions and educational contexts where teachers and researchers are interested in exploring and researching ways of helping learners to learn language and content at the same time. These terms include content-based instruction (CBI), immersion, sheltered instruction, language across the curriculum (LAC), writing across the curriculum (WAC), content and language integrated learning (CLIL). Common to all these traditions, however, is the monoglossic and monolingual assumption about language and literacy. In this presentation, I will provide a review of these traditions and assumptions and outline recent work that leads towards translanguaging and trans-semiotizing as a breakthrough from these monoglossic/ monolingual assumptions. I will describe the philosophical shifts underpinning this intellectual movement and its educational implications.
