  • Group membership and identity issues in second language learning

    Open AccessPavel Trofimovich, Larisa Turuševa et al.ARTICLELanguage Teaching2013References: 6

    Language learning is inextricably linked to a social context, and this implies that context-related social variables, such as ethnicity or attitudes, can influence how language learning unfolds. Among the many group-engendered social factors, ethnic identity appears to have interesting consequences for language teaching and learning (Pavlenko & Blackledge 2004). Indeed, issues of personal and group identity often become important when individuals…

    With economic globalisation making second language (L2) learning inevitable throughout the world, understanding what factors facilitate success is a socioeconomic necessity.

  • Investigating Heritage Language and Culture Links

    Nootan Kumar, Pavel Trofimovich et al.ARTICLEJournal of Multilingual and…2008References: 27

This study investigated the hypothesis that a loss in language signals a loss in culture if language is considered a central value. This hypothesis was investigated by rating the Hindi and English proficiency of 30 first and second generation Indo-Canadian Hindi speakers (15 parent–child pairs) and relating th…

  • Creative Automatization

    ELIZABETH GATBONTON, Norman SegalowitzARTICLETESOL Quarterly1988Cited by: 13

    In this article we discuss the theory and practice of a creative automatization process by which learners can develop the component of fluency in second language production in a classroom setting. The techniques for this approach are designed to provide students with ample opportunities for repetition and practice within a wholly communicative context, without the shortcomings usually characteristic of pattern drills or other more traditional met…
