Synthesizing a range of studies on morphological processing from the past 30 years, this edited collection presents the current state of knowledge on morphological processing and defines classroom practices to help students conceptualise the role of morphology in reading, spelling, and vocabulary development. Research has increasingly indicated the importance of morphological tasks in relation to reading, spelling, and vocabulary acquisition in the classroom. Chapter authors present the theoretical considerations guiding morphological processing research to date, address the use of morphology with reference to different populations of learners, and propose effective and innovative instructional strategies for integrating morphology in the classroom.
This book provides a forum for methodological discussions emanating from researchers engaged in studying how individuals acquire an additional language. Whereas publications in the field of second language acquisition generally report on empirical studies with relatively little space dedicated to questions of method, the current book gave authors the opportunity to more fully develop a discussion piece around a methodological issue in connection with the interpretation of language-learning data. The result is a set of seven thought-provoking contributions from researchers with diverse interests. Three main topics are addressed in these chapters: the role of native-speaker norms in second-language analyses, the impact of epistemological stance on experimental design and/or data interpretation, and the challenges of transcription and annotation of language-learning data, with a focus on data ambiguity. Authors expand on these crucial issues, reflect on best practices, and provide in many instances concrete examples of the impact they have on data interpretation.

In over 30 years of data-driven learning (DDL) research, there has been a growing sophistication in the ways we collect, analyse, and put corpus data to use. This volume takes a three-fold perspective on DDL. It first looks at DDL and its role in informing language learning theory and how it might shed light on the language development process; secondly it addresses how DDL can help us characterise learner language and inform teaching accordingly, and thirdly it showcases practical applications for the use of DDL in classrooms. The contributors to this volume examine a variety of instructional settings and languages across the world. They reflect on theoretical, methodological and classroom implications using both novel and established language learning theories, natural language processing (NLP), longitudinal research designs, and a variety of language learning targets. The present volume is an invitation from some of the leading researchers in DDL to reflect on the research avenues that will define the field in the coming years.
Early literacy is tackled from different angles. Researchers from Germany, Spain and Australia focus on learning to read and spell in two languages as well as on models and stages in the acquisition of literacy. Finally first teaching methods are suggested. Early literacy is put on a well founded empirical basis to ensure successful foreign language learning at primary school level. Früher Schrifterwerb wird aus verschiedenen Winkeln beleuchtet. Wissenschaftler aus Deutschland, Spanien und Australien äußern sich zu zweisprachigem Lesen- und Schreibenlernen sowie zu Modellen und Stufen im Schrifterwerb. Schließlich werden erste Vermittlungsansätze vorgeschlagen. Frühes Lesen und Schreiben wird auf eine solide empirische Basis gesetzt, um erfolgreiches frühes Fremdsprachenlernen zu gewährleisten.
Le présent ouvrage est issu du 9e colloque de l'Association internationale pour la recherche en didactique du français (AIRDF) qui s'est tenu à Québec à l'été 2004 ; il regroupe des contributions provenant du Québec, de Belgique, de France et de Suisse. L'ensemble des travaux présentés offre un panorama très large de la recherche actuelle en didactique du français. Cet ouvrage constitue un outil précieux pour les étudiants et les chercheurs ainsi que pour les formateurs et les enseignants désireux de s'initier à la recherche dans le domaine. Les travaux, à la fois qualitatifs et quantitatifs, vont de la recherche théorique à l'enquête en passant par la description de pratiques de classe, l'expérimentation didactique ou la synthèse d'études, et présentent de multiples techniques de recherche?: questionnaire, grille d'observation, analyse de contenu de leçons, de textes ou d'entretiens, etc.
Cet ouvrage porte sur trois dimensions incontournables de l'enseignement de l'orthographe aujourd’hui: les problèmes que rencontrent les élèves et leurs stratégies pour tenter de les résoudre la diversité des pratiques d’enseignement et les représentations de l’orthographe, en particulier celles d’élèves. Organisé en chapitres brefs et facilement lisibles, il donne à lire une synthèse des travaux existants tout en approfondissant certaines pistes, telles que les causes possibles des erreurs, notamment sur certains points de l’orthographe dite grammaticale, sur le rapport à l’orthographe des élèves, sur les modalités d’enseignement susceptibles d’engendrer des ...
Ce numéro de Dyalang, pose des questions qui portent aussi bien sur l’histoire et les origines de l’orthographe – d’hier à aujourd’hui – que sur son impact dans la vie sociale et scolaire ou sur la place qu’elle occupe dans la francophonie. Et si l’on parle ici de l’orthographe du français, on s’intéresse également à l’orthographe d’autres écritures (de l’espagnol, du grec, de l’hébreu, du kurde, du turc), afin de mieux comprendre et de mieux situer les enjeux de la nôtre. Les articles réunis dans ce volume apportent des réponses, des approfondissements, des questionnements nouveaux aux problèmes soulevés. Ils ont été rassemblés autour de cinq part...
