Lessons 1–2 Are you a good language learner? Warmup 1 Look at the cartoon and comment on it. Share your interpretations in pairs. Reading 2 A. Read the encyclopedia entry and answer the questions. learning style online encyclopedia A learning style is the method of learning particular to an individual that allows the individual to learn best. It is commonly believed that most people favour some particular method of interacting with, taking in, and processing information. Based on this concept, the idea of individualized “learning styles” originated in the 1970s, and has become popular in recent years. Everybody has a preferred learning style. Knowing and understanding our learning style helps us to learn more effectively. If students know about themselves and what their learning style is, they can learn how to learn. This is important for selfconfidence and achieving success. Visiting the sites provided will help you learn about learning and how you learn… See also Individual differences psychology Education … 1 What is a learning style? 2 How is the process of learning defined in the entry? 3 Why is it important to know about your learning style? 4 Where can you find more information about your learning style? 5 Do you know anything about your personal learning style? Would you like to know more? 2 B. Choose the alternative that describes you best.

Calculate your results and read your learning style description. Mostly A’s You are a Tactile / Kinesthetic Learner that learns through moving, doing and touching. Tactile / Kinesthetic people learn best through a handson approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. You may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by your need for activity and exploration. You need more demonstrations and acting out things to retain information more successfully. Mostly B’s You are a Visual Learner that learns through seeing. These learners need to see the teacher’s body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. You prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions. You may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated textbooks, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and handouts. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners often prefer to take detailed notes that graphically depict the information and help them absorb it. Mostly C’s You are an Auditory Learner that learns through listening. You learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to the tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. You may benefit from reading a text aloud and using a tape recorder or having a friend quiz you orally. 2 D. Discuss these questions in pairs. Is this a full description of your learning style?

  • Case Studies from Adamawa (Cameroon-Nigeria)
    Open Linguistics 2021; 7: 244–300 Research Article Bruce Connell*, David Zeitlyn, Sascha Griffiths, Laura Hayward, and Marieke Martin Language ecology, language endangerment, and relict languages: Case studies from Adamawa (Cameroon-Nigeria) https://doi.org/10.1515/opli-2021-0011 received May 18, 2020; accepted April 09, 2021 Abstract: As a contribution to the more general discussion on causes of language endangerment and death, we describe the language ecologies of four related languages (Bà Mambila [mzk]/[mcu], Sombә (Somyev or Kila)[kgt], Oumyari Wawa [www], Njanga (Kwanja)[knp]) of the Cameroon-Nigeria borderland to reach an understanding of the factors and circumstances that have brought two of these languages, Sombә and Njanga, to the brink of extinction; a third, Oumyari, is unstable/eroded, while Bà Mambila is stable. Other related languages of the area, also endangered and in one case extinct, fit into our discussion, though with less focus. We argue that an understanding of the language ecology of a region (or of a given language) leads to an understanding of the vitality of a language. Language ecology seen as a multilayered phenom- enon can help explain why the four languages of our case studies have different degrees of vitality. This has implications for how language change is conceptualised: we see multilingualism and change (sometimes including extinction) as normative. Keywords: Mambiloid languages, linguistic evolution, language shift 1 Introduction A commonly cited cause of language endangerment across the globe is the dominance of a colonial language. The situation in Africa is often claimed to be different, with the threat being more from national or regional languages that are themselves African languages, rather than from colonial languages (Batibo 2001: 311–2, 2005; Brenzinger et al.

  • 2. Historical Linguistics and Genealogical Language Classification in Africa1 Tom Güldemann
    2. Historical linguistics and genealogical language classification in Africa1 Tom Güldemann 2.1. African language classification and Greenberg (1963a) 2.1.1. Introduction For quite some time, the genealogical classification of African languages has been in a peculiar situation, one which is linked intricably to Greenberg’s (1963a) study. His work is without doubt the single most important contribution in the classifi- cation history of African languages up to now, and it is unlikely to be equaled in impact by any future study. This justifies framing major parts of this survey with respect to his work. The peculiar situation referred to above concerns the somewhat strained rela- tionship between most historical linguistic research pursued by Africanists in the 1 This chapter would not have been possible without the help and collaboration of various people and institutions. First of all, I would like to thank Harald Hammarström, whose comprehensive collection of linguistic literature enormously helped my research, with whom I could fruitfully discuss numerous relevant topics, and who commented in detail on a first draft of this study. My special thanks also go to Christfried Naumann, who has drawn the maps with the initial assistence of Mike Berger. The Department of Linguistics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Leipzig under Bernhard Comrie supported the first stage of this research by financing two student assistents, Holger Kraft and Carsten Hesse; their work and the funding provided are gratefully acknowledged. The Humboldt University of Berlin provided the funds for organizing the relevant International Workshop “Genealogical language classification in Africa beyond Greenberg” held in Berlin in 2010 (see https://www.iaaw.hu-berlin.

    Faculty of Humanities School of Education Tamil and Tamils: A Study of Language and Identity amongst the Indian Tamil Community in Singapore Rajeni Rajan This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University February 2018 2 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Human Ethics The research presented and reported in this thesis was conducted in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) – updated March 2014. The proposed research study received human research ethics approval from the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00262), Approval Number HR 154/2013. Signature: Date: 23rd February 2018 3 Abstract This study investigates language shift in the Tamil community, a minority group in Singapore, and the maintenance of their mother tongue, Tamil, which is one of four official languages in the nation-state, the rest being English, Mandarin and Malay. A secondary component of the study seeks to examine notions of identity amongst young Tamils. Drawing on Edwards’ (2010) typological framework to analyse a minority language situation and of its speakers, this study presents a comprehensive insight into the language maintenance and shift phenomenon under study. The Tamil language situation has been of increasing concern, lately in terms of its usage, particularly amongst the young Tamils in Singapore.

    A Study on Perceptions of EFL Teachers on Efficacy of CALL in Pakistan Mehnaz Tabassum, M.A. M.Phil Applied Linguistics Sabahat Parveen, M.A. M.Ed. M.Phil. Ph.D. Research Scholar ==================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:6 June 2013 ==================================================================== Abstract In this study, efficacy of CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) in Pakistan keeping in view the special role of teachers for CALL in their classrooms is investigated. A descriptive survey research was conducted with EFL teachers working at tertiary level in different colleges of Faisalabad. 30 English teachers both male and female were selected as the participants of this study. A questionnaire was given to know the perceptions of English teachers towards CALL as a tool for study and the problems they faced for CALL efficacy in their classrooms. The results of this study revealed that teachers are having facilities of computer assisted learning at their homes and at a lesser scale in their respective institutions. They are interested in opting new methodologies in their classes and are interested in effective implementation of CALL in their classes if they are provided with the proper material for CALL. Keywords : CALL ,EFL , Tertiary. Introduction CALL is an approach to language teaching and learning in which computer technology is used as an aid to the presentation, reinforcement, and assessment of material to be learned, usually interactive element. In houses, workplaces and also in schools, electronic technology has started to be used widely (Bishop, 2003). A decade ago, the use of computers in the language classroom was of concern only to a small number of specialists.

  • The Phenomena of Languages: Death Vs. Revival
    The Phenomena of Languages: Death vs. Revival Talal Musaed Alghizzi (Ph.D. Candidate at University College Cork, Ireland) ============================================================ Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:6 June 2013 ============================================================ There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth. Elias Canetti Introduction Language has always been considered the hallmark of humanity and the prime reason for mankind’s dominance. Its characteristics and the processes of its acquisition are the kinds of attributes - perhaps the most important ones - that distinguish humans from all the other species. For some Africans, a newly born infant is a "kintu", a "thing" but not yet a "muntu", a "person" since only when children start learning the language are they regarded as being human (Fromkin, Rodman, and Hyams, 2007, p. 3). However, there are “700” other reasons that point to the significance of human languages. The most significant are the personal enhancement and the enjoyment that people have from studying and learning them (UK Subject Centre for Languages, as cited in Gallagher-Brett, 2005, p. 2). For linguists, analysing languages in literature (i.e., “poetry, ritual speech, and word structure”) is important because such languages in context are the best records for the “nature of human cognition” as well as the “collective intellectual achievements of…culture(s), offering unique perspectives on the human condition(s)” (Fromkin, et al., 2007, p. 486).
