Meeting Description:
Applying
insights from modern linguistics to language teaching and teacher education is
anything but new. However, recent years have seen a development of approaches within
modern linguistics that aim to reach out and engage more actively with the field of
language pedagogy. Given the conceptual background of established language-teaching
methodologies such as Communicative Language Teaching or Critical Pedagogy, modern
teacher education has shifted from the rigorous study of language structure to a
focus on communicative and sociolinguistic underpinnings of teaching languages in a
classroom. Our workshop aims at building new bridges that close the gap between this
‘social turn’ in educational linguistics and modern formal approaches to natural
language, to eventually explore new teaching methodologies.
We are
particularly interested in current accounts in the language sciences that
systematically revise and manipulate existing teaching methods in the second
language classroom and that explore how different manipulations facilitate the
learning of a second language. In many linguistic approaches to second language
acquisition, language teaching is already being used as an important variable –- and
from here it is but a short step to developing psychologically sound teaching
materials for language pedagogy. The overall goal of this workshop is to see a
subsequent integration of issues and insights from modern linguistics into
language-teaching practice.
