Inglés contra valenciano. La introducción del multilingüismo en el sistema lingüístico educativo valenciano
2017
Aquest treball tracta sobre l’ús polític de les llengües i, singularment, centra l’atenció en el programa de plurilingüisme educatiu posat en marxa pel govern de la Generalitat Valenciana el 2012. Considerem que aquesta iniciativa obeïa una voluntat conscient del partit en el govern (PP) de minoritzar més encara el valencià davant el castellà, amb l’excusa de millorar el coneixement d’anglés. Ara bé, la iniciativa valenciana no és un fet aïllat, s’emmarca dins d’una proposta política d’àmbit estatal orientada a garantir la preeminència del castellà i debilitar le polítiques lingüístiques educatives favorables a les altres llengües espanyoles. Val a dir que fem el treball des de l'òptica com…
The impact of foreign language mediated teaching on teachers’ sense of professional integrity in the CLIL classroom
2011
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has received significant interest in recent years as a practical means of creating a plurilingual European community. A key feature of CLIL is the non-native speaking teacher responsible for developing learners’ content and language knowledge in a foreign language mediated environment. Teachers often enter the CLIL classroom with established expertise in either content or language learning; however, the impact of entering the foreign language mediated environment is little explored in existing literature. This investigative research is based on six teacher interviews intended to access the teachers’ own understanding of how foreign language me…

From historical legacy to self-determined language(s) policy? Literary multilingualism in Lithuania and Latvia
2021
From Historical Legacy to Self-Determined Language(s) Policy? Literary Multilingualism in Lithuania and Latvia. The first part of this article looks at Soviet language(s) policy. Two further parts discuss language(s) policy and literary multilingualism in Lithuania and Latvia. The aim is not to provide a differentiated investigation, but to show similarities and differences as well as tendencies in the language(s) politics of the two states from the 19th century to the present in the mirror of literature and to explain them using case studies. In the fourth, concluding part, literary translation is highlighted as one of the formats for implementing multilingualism outside the text with part…
The early childhood education and care partnership for bilingualism in minority language schooling : collaboration between bilingual families and ped…
2016
Educational partnerships occur at the intersection of early childhood education and care (ECEC), families, and the surrounding community, and have been shown to play a significant role in student success rates in education. There is, however, a gap in research on the role and potential of ‘partnership’ in the case of bilingual families with children enrolled in monolingual minority language ECEC. This study aimed to fill this void by examining parental and practitioner discourses on partnership and on obligations, desires, abilities, and competencies involved in acting on a bilingual childhood in the context of monolingual minority ECEC. Parents in nine Finnish–Swedish bilingual families an…
Interactive Gradually Generating Relevance Query Refinement Under the Human-Mediated Scenario in Multilingual Settings
2016
As opposed to query modelling, relevance generating interactive query refinement (QR) is a technique aimed at exploiting syntax variations of gradually extended, being removed or replaced with some other keywords query, which depending on the factors like e.g. the information resource, the database structure, or the keyword alignment, facilitates significantly the searching process. Therefore our motivation is to explore the dynamism of the precision trend depended upon the factors analyzed. For a couple of language pairs which constitute multilingual settings, we develop a user-centred framework that imposes distributed search optimization. Our data set contains variety of query types subm…
UNA DIDATTICA IMMERSIVA PER MIGRANTI E PER TUTTI
2022
L’articolo descrive il modello didattico di ItaStra ponendone in rilievo i caratteri fondamentali, incentrati sul ruolo attivo dell’apprendente in quanto soggetto artefice di cittadinanza democratica e sulla considerazione specifica delle dinamiche di repertorio. I contenuti del modello si sviluppano su quattro direttrici teorico-settoriali analiticamente descritte. Esse chiamano in causa la variazione linguistica interna ed esterna al soggetto apprendente, le (neo)compentenze, la multidisciplinarità, i contesti di apprendimento. I contenuti del modello sono il frutto delle esperienze sul campo e delle rielaborazioni teoriche maturate in quindici anni di attività sul fronte della didattica…
Palermo 2000–2020: Sicilian in Old and New Migrations
2022
This article will focus on the comparison between language attitudes and the status and functions of local dialect into migrant communities over the last twenty years. The first research started in the first years on the third Millennium and is being conducted (using narrative interview) within hundred young and adult migrants born in Palermo or residents in the city for years. In D’Agostino ( 2004, 2006, 2010), I suggested that very often the dialect was seen by migrants as a bridge thrown by the host society to favour their insertion, like “we code” shared by foreigners and natives who live in the same spaces within the city. It is been several years that the older migration has integrate…
Towards a multilingual database of sound effects
One of the most significant linguistic and technical challenges applied to subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing persons (SDH) is the linguistic description of sound encapsulated within the space of subtitles. This subtitle typology is crucial to hearing impaired audiences, since its main purpose is to improve the level of comprehension and appreciation of the plot, character development and, in general, of the nuances of audiovisual products. The scope of this study is to investigate the possibilities and the applications of a multilingual database of sound effects. Such database will combine the most recent technologies in Respeaking, viewed as “the production of subtitles by means …
The bilingualism wars: Is the bilingual advantage out of (executive) control?
2019
espanolUno de los temas actuales mas controvertidos en psicologia cognitiva y neurociencia cognitiva es si el bilinguismo tiene un efecto sobre el control ejecutivo de las representaciones no verbales. En su vida diaria, los bilingues tienen que alternar entre dos (o mas) idiomas que compiten por su seleccion, por lo que han de seleccionar, monitorizar e inhibir (es decir, emplear componentes de la funcion ejecutiva) con mas frecuencia que los monolingues. Por lo tanto, no seria sorprendente que estas habilidades empleadas para seleccionar/monitorear los procesos linguisticos en bilingues tambien ayudaran al procesamiento de representaciones no linguisticas. Aunque la "ventaja bilingue" en …
