Smith-Christmas, Cassie; NicLeòid, Sìleas L. – Language Policy, 2020
This paper compares the sociolinguistic trajectory of a 'latent' speaker mother to that of a 'new' speaker mother. Drawing on Shandler (TDR 48(1):19-43, 2004), it introduces the term 'post-vernacular FLP' as a means to conceptualise the latent speaker mother's emblematic use of Gaelic with her child as a 'seed' from which language revitalisation…

De Costa, Peter I. – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2020
Linguistic racism is magnified when a speaker is multilingual and shuttles between different languages and language varieties. This reality is underscored in this commentary that reviews four empirical studies that comprise this special issue on linguistic racism. We see linguistic racism enacted in different forms and contexts: through racial…

Knudsen, Jon P. – Learning Organization, 2020
Purpose: The learning region has over the years become popular as a concept to portray and analyse subnational geographic entities heading for future growth and well-being. Claiming analytic and political relevance, the concept nevertheless retains much unclarified ideological content. Design/methodology/approach: This study traces its roots to…

Azaz, Mahmoud – Second Language Research, 2020
This article adopts the surface overlap and derivational complexity hypotheses to study crosslinguistic transfer in the adult second language (L2) acquisition of English genitive alternation (between the s-genitives and the of genitives) by intermediate and advanced Egyptian Arabic-speaking learners. While the "s"-genitive (e.g.…

Passakornkarn, Supassorn; Vibulphol, Jutarat – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2020
English language usage has increased in all areas of the world over the past few decades, and goals for learning English as a second language have changed from 'obtaining native-like proficiency' to 'gaining proficiency in dealing with English varieties' (Graddol, 2006). English as a foreign language (EFL) Thai students should be provided with…

Angel M. Y. Lin – Language and Education, 2024
Upholding a critical, ethical, multilingual stance presents numerous challenges amidst a myriad of institutional, infrastructural, and societal pressures. Despite significant breakthroughs, such as translanguaging theories and pedagogies and the evolution of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) principles, the journey towards a more inclusive and…

István Jánk – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Teachers' language attitudes play a key role in their decision-making, evaluation, and behaviour in the classroom. This is as true in a monolingual environment as it is in a bilingual or multilingual linguistic situation, but it is fair to assume that the two different linguistic environments are associated with the dominance of different…

Lianjiang Jiang; Xiaoyue Zhang; Seyyed-Abdolhamid Mirhosseini – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2024
While the importance of linguistically responsive teaching (LRT) in multilingual classrooms is well documented, preservice English teachers' conceptions of LRT and the pertinent sociocultural processes that shape their LRT conceptions and practices remain under-researched. Qualitatively examining the experiences and understandings of 15 preservice…

Enrico Grazzi – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
The aim of this personal reflection is to revisit the major concepts that have informed my academic research in the area of applied linguistics and second language development, and show how my overall pedagogical approach has evolved, thanks to the contribution of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory (SCT). The main focus of this paper is on the…

Chaka, Chaka – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2021
This paper sets out to answer two questions by characterizing and deconstructing Alan Davies's seminal views and concepts -- especially his ostensive views and his native speakerism -- within the context of applied linguistics. Arguing that these are some of Davies's seminal views and concepts, it offers a philosophical framing of his ostensive…
