Beyond ‘Just teaching content’
Universities are increasingly offering courses in English or, less frequently, in other additional languages. This practice is often labelled EMI (English- Medium Instruction) when the focus lies on content, or ICLHE (Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education) when there are dual content and language objectives. However, these theoretical concepts encounter key issues in practice. First, even in EMI contexts, the additional language ca…
EMI and DMI, an elitist language learning approach? An investigation of students’ socio-economic and language profiles
Internationalisation of higher education has really taken off in recent decades, with universities increasingly organising all or parts of their study programmes in a language other than their traditional language of instruction. Usually, that language is English, which is referred to as English Medium Instruction (EMI), but there are also programmes in other foreign languages, such as Dutch Medium Instruction (DMI) in French-speaking Belgium. Pr…
Using music in a word stress processing task
Previous studies have reported that the use of music-related activities (e.g. hand-clapping or songs) can help learners to acquire foreign languages. It remains unclear, however, whether music-based approaches help every learner equally or whether it is more beneficial for learners with a musical background, such as musical practice, musical abilities, or engagement in musical activities. In order to answer this question, we tested 80 French spea…
Music training and the use of songs or rhythm
Previous studies revealed that musicians outperformed non-musicians in different language tasks and that the use of music or rhythm in teaching material can benefit language learning. Here, we examined whether music, as a learner’s characteristic (musicians/non-musicians) or as a characteristic of the task (use of music or beat) can facilitate foreign language lexical stress processing. 25 non-musician and 21 musician French native speakers perfo…
The contribution of prosody to intelligibility, comprehensibility and accentedness in foreign language acquisition
The purpose of this paper is to review recent research illustrating the importance of prosody in foreign language acquisition, and to examine whether music might help in this learning process. The paper starts off by defining prosody and by examining previous research on foreign language prosody acquisition, stating the difficulties for learners and the potential effect of non-native prosody on communication, notably on comprehensibility, intelli…
A French translation of the Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index, an instrument to assess self-reported musical skills, abilities and behaviours
The aim of this study was to translate into French the Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index (Gold-MSI) (Müllensiefen, D., Gingras, B., Musil, J., & Stewart, L. (2014). The musicality of non-musicians: An index for assessing musical sophistication in the general population. PLOS One, 9(2), e89642) – an inventory to assess self-reported musical skills, abilities and behaviours -, to examine the internal consistency and to confirm the factor stru…
