Independent language study compared to communicative pairwork: effects on languaging and learning
No full textAdult EFL learners increasingly find themselves working through languagefocused tasks alone, either because they are following a flipped classroom approach where such tasks are assigned for self-study, or because they are physically separated from other learners in socially distanced or online classrooms. Rooted in a Vygotskian (1978, 1987) sociocultural framework, the present classroom study assesses this shift away from communicative collaboration towards individual study by comparing classroom pairwork with individual task completion in terms of a) learners’ languaging, the “process of making meaning and shaping knowledge” (Swain 2006, p. 98) observable in learners’ Language-Related Episodes (LREs), and b) the learning of forms topicalised in LREs, as measured by post-tests.
Findings indicate that while individual LRE numbers did not differ significantly from LREs initiated by each learner in pairs, dyadic learners benefitted from the additive effect of two learners identifying different language issues. LREs resolved correctly and LREs characterised by elaborate engagement (evidencing self-regulation strategies) did not differ significantly between modes. While all learners generally responded to post-test items in agreement with LRE resolutions, dyadic learners attempted fewer items relating to their LREs, suggesting that learners in dyads may not always listen to or learn from each other. Pedagogical recommendations are proposed
Building CLIL teacher knowledge: : Teaching Mathematics through Irish in English-medium elementary schools in the Republic of Ireland
No full textContent and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is increasingly seen as a possible solution to enhance the teaching of the Irish language in English-medium schools in the Republic of Ireland, where Irish is compulsory and taught as a minority second language (L2) (Department of Education and Skills (DES), 2018, 2022). Despite heightened governmental focus on CLIL, challenges persist in its practical implementation, particularly regarding the development of teachers' knowledge base for CLIL (Fahey, 2021). This paper reports on three elementary teachers' lived experiences as they participated in a six-week Community of Practice (CoP) model for CLIL professional growth. Utilising a variety of sources (i.e. focus group interviews, researcher field notes, participant reflective diaries and CLIL lesson plans), data were collected from three teachers as they implemented CLIL for the first time in their kindergarten classrooms, teaching 4–5-year-olds. The paper firstly presents a critical review of the relevant literature base and synthesises findings in an attempt to ascertain what is known from extant studies. Following this, the study is delineated, and significant findings regarding enhanced teacher language confidence, heightened language awareness, and increased awareness of professional development needs in the language of CLIL instruction are presented. Notably, tensions surrounding the augmented language proficiency expectations placed on teachers when instructing Mathematics through the medium of Irish are also acknowledged, particularly as they navigated the linguistic intricacies of planning within a disciplinary curriculum area using a minority language. In conclusion, suggestions for systemic advancements are considered, and potential avenues for future research are proposed
Uma proximidade re-coreografada – intimidade, tempos de isolamento e a performance de um-para-um
No full textFrom intimacy to social interactions, human relations and the boundaries and notions which surround them are constantly being changed and reformulated. We have been forced to reflect on this aspect during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has installed a “state of exception” (Nancy 2020), that emphasized the “process of inexorable chaotization of life” (Gil 2018, 408), which occurred on a global scale.Whether in the private or public sphere, bodies have been re-positioned, forced to move through different rhythms “to abandon frenetic and acceleration” (Berardi 2020). Faced with the ‘lockdown’ measures that imposed pause and distance, we have been re-choreographed, from social dynamics to personal and intimate relationships.How were digital platforms used during these times, and how were their discursive and subversive potential used in performing arts to explore closeness, intimacy and affection?Starting from these questions and considering that performing arts are rooted in the corporeality, physicality, and spatial-temporal sharing of the spectacular event (Fisher-Lichte 2019, 77), involving engagement and proximity, this presentation focuses on one-to-one performances that were developed during social isolation times.From the analysis of performances in this singular format, one spectator’s audience, and on the analysis of interviews and conversations with artists who work in this field, this paper intends to highlight particular aspects of the use of digital platforms in performing arts and their role in the debate concerning intimate interactions, simulation and performativity in the digital.We intend to observe how the perspectives raised by these artists and these works contribute to problematizing the impact of digital technologies, and can operate in the discussion of new paths and insights into human relationships in the ‘digital transition’ era.Da intimidade às interacções sociais, as relações humanas, e as fronteiras e noções que as rodeiam, estão constantemente a ser alteradas e reformuladas. Fomos forçados a refletir sobre este aspecto durante a pandemia da Covid-19, que instalou um "estado de exceção" (Nancy 2020), que enfatizou o "processo inexorável de caotização da vida” (Gil 2018, 408), e que ocorreu à escala global.Na esfera pública, assim como na esfera privada, os corpos foram reposicionados, obrigados a mover-se através de diferentes ritmos, "a abandonar o frenético e a aceleração" (Berardi 2020). Perante as medidas de "confinamento" que impunham pausa e distância, fomos re-coreografados, das dinâmicas sociais às relações pessoais e íntimas.De que modo foram, nestes tempos, utilizadas as plataformas digitais, e de que forma o seu potencial discursivo e subversivo foi usado nas artes performativas para explorar a proximidade, a intimidade e o afeto?Partindo destas questões, e considerando que as artes performativas estão enraizadas na corporeidade, na fisicalidade e na partilha espácio-temporal do evento espetacular (Fisher-Lichte 2019, 77), envolvendo interação e proximidade, esta apresentação centra-se em performances de um para um, que foram desenvolvidas durante os tempos de isolamento social.A partir da análise de performances neste formato singular, para público de um espetador apenas, e da análise de entrevistas e conversas com artistas que trabalham neste campo, este artigo pretende salientar aspetos particulares sobre a utilização criativa de plataformas digitais nas artes performativas, e o seu papel no debate sobre interações íntimas, simulação e performatividade no digital.Pretendemos observar de que forma as perspectivas levantadas por estes artistas e obras, contribuem para problematizar o impacto das tecnologias digitais, e podem operar na discussão de novos caminhos e olhares sobre as relações humanas na era da ‘transição digital'

Sena, o anti-Pessoa de Eduardo Lourenço
Full text linkConsidering the idea, already pointed out by some critics, that Eduardo Lourenço often uses the author of Mensagem to study and interpret modern poets or their contemporaries, this article aims to analyse the organic vision of the essays that Lourenço dedicated to Jorge de Sena. The aim of this analysis is to show how Lourenço’s critical essays are an important contribution to the intellectual biography of the author which he considered as the “authentic posterity” of Pessoa.Partindo da ideia, já assinalada por alguma crítica, de que Eduardo Lourenço convoca frequentemente o autor da Mensagem para o estudo e interpretação de outros poetas modernos ou dos seus contemporâneos, este artigo pretende analisar a visão orgânica dos ensaios que Lourenço dedicou a Jorge de Sena. Nessa análise pretende-se mostrar como o ensaísmo crítico de Lourenço é um importante contributo para a biografia intelectual daquele que considerou a “posteridade autêntica” de Pessoa
