Narratives in film title translation: A study of films by Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke
This study sets out to investigate whether and to what extent the narratives contained in film titles and their translations can differ from each other. Ten dramas selected from the work of two internationally renowned film directors, Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke, were analysed using narrative theory. The findings suggest that films targeted at the international market tend to employ selective appropriation, causal emplotment and relationality, an…
Translanguaging learning strategies (TLS): A novel proposal from learning Chinese
Using the think-aloud protocol (TAP), the study investigates the strategies used by beginner and pre-intermediate learners of Chinese when studying Chinese characters through typing. Drawing on concepts from translanguaging, embodiment and LS (learning strategies), a novel notion of translanguaging learning strategies (TLS) and an innovative typology of TLS were proposed. The study found that the pre-intermediate group tended to resort to TLI (tr…
A think-aloud method of investigating translanguaging strategies in learning Chinese characters
Asian scripts that are significantly different from Roman-derived alphabets usually impose difficulties in learning. Translanguaging has therefore been explored as a pedagogical tool for the language classroom, including Chinese. While learning Chinese characters is thought to be one of the main challenges for students learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL), there seems to be a paucity of up-to-date research into the strategies that adult s…
A translanguaging perspective on medium of instruction in the CFL classroom
Although recent years have witnessed increasing interest in learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) in China and around the world, there seems to be a paucity of research into the medium of instruction in the CFL classroom. This paper describes a study of the practice of MoI choice in the CFL classroom, situated within the framework of translanguaging. Five focus group interviews and eight classroom observations were conducted across five un…
