"Deaf children experience language deprivation at alarmingly high rates. This Element presents a case for developing signed language curricula for hearing families with deaf children that are family-centered and focus on child-directed language"--
Human communication involves more than mere linguistic expressions or the verbal messages they share in the interactions. Nonverbal behaviors not only have a critical impact on verbal ones but also may even substitute them. The sociopragmatic context and sociopragmatic competence play a significant role in the processes of using, studying, interpreting, and analyzing nonverbal cues, especially in intercultural communication. There has been some uncertainty as to whether or not nonverbal cues influence intercultural communication, particularly among refugees, in addition to the impact of sociopragmatic contextual variables such as age, gender, ethnicity, and religion on the process of communication. This study's content originates from the diverse culture-based difficulties and challenges refugees face in the communication process among themselves and with the host community or humanitarian agencies. Thus, it recommends cooperating, nationally and internationally, to establish peace and security to reduce the number of refugees and decrease their suffering. Eventually, it suggests holding international, regional, and national scientific conferences to study the temporary and future consequences of refugeeism on humanity.
Didactique du lexique, terminologie et linguistique de corpus sont les axes autour desquels s¿articule cette étude. Nous nous penchons, en particulier, sur l¿enseignement explicite et structuré du lexique spécialisé pour le français L2, en relation avec le développement non seulement de la compétence strictement terminologique, mais aussi avec la compétence « méta », relevant de la maîtrise du fonctionnement des termes. Après l¿identifi cation d¿un noyau de notions métaterminologiques, notre objectif principal est de proposer des pistes méthodologiques pour leur enseignement basé sur l¿exploitation des corpus spécialisés, dans la conviction qüune synergie effi cace peut s¿instaurer entre la compétence métaterminologique et l¿exploitation d¿une ressource numérique pour des fi ns didactiques. Des applications possibles sont proposées relativement au domaine du commerce.

So you fully understand and then later feel confidence when hearing the vocabulary in a real business situation.Master: the language in the following essential business English topics.General business English.Start-ups.Online business.Finance.This book is the perfect stepping stone from 'textbook' business English to the 'real' language that will help you excel in the business world.
Cet ouvrage fait suite à deux volumes déjà publiés en 2016 et 2020. Ces trois volumes constituent un véritable dictionnaire consacré à une sous-classe de marqueurs discursifs, ceux formés sur le verbe dire. Ces marqueurs discursifs, actuellement objets de nombreuses études linguistiques, sont ces ¿petits mots¿ qui nous servent à articuler notre parole, à l¿organiser, à la structurer, ainsi c¿est vite dit, comme tu dis, je me disais aussi ou dis voir, pour ne citer que quelques cas parmi la liste recensée de 226 marqueurs en dire. D¿un fonctionnement souvent complexe, ils instaurent une véritable mise en scène à l¿intérieur du discours, et tout traducteur sait à quel point il est difficile parfois d¿en fournir une équivalence dans d¿autres langues, même proches. Ce troisième volume en examine dix-huit, ce qui, sur l¿ensemble des trois volumes, porte le nombre des entrées à quatre-vingt-sept. L¿étude propose pour chaque marqueur une présentation des différentes valeurs identifiées et une analyse linguistique abordant ses propriétés syntaxiques, sémantiques, pragmatiques et, dans une moindre mesure, intonatives. La partie descriptive vise surtout les étudiants de langue de niveau supérieur (Écoles d¿interprétariat et/ou de langues), alors que les linguistes confirmés pourront consulter la partie proprement théorique.
The world is becoming increasingly interconnected with the impact of globalization, technologies and transportation. The intercultural contacts and encounters dramatically accelerated. People have more opportunities to travel, to conduct businesses, or to receive education in other countries. The increased intercultural contacts and encounters implies the intercultural competence and foreign language competency for individuals to study, to work and to live effectively in the culturally diverse and digitally-connected global communities. This also heightened the needs for foreign language programs in universities and colleges to improve students' intercultural competence and language aptitude, which have become one of the objectives of foreign language programs. Foreign language teaching and learning needs to be focusing on both language aptitude and intercultural competence. As two important factors affecting students' foreign language learning, intercultural competence and language learning motivation have been increasingly stressed in the field of second language acquisition. However, there are few scholars who investigate the intercultural competence from the perspective of language learning motivation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between English language learners' intercultural competence, their attitudes towards the language, and their motivation patterns and motivation intensity of learning English. This correlational study is expected to provide statistical evidences for research on intercultural competence from perspective of language learning motivation, and is also hoped to shed light on foreign language teaching and research.
Das Buch präsentiert ein Modell des Sprachlern- und -lehrprozesses, das auf Kooperation und Autonomie der Beteiligten beruht. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Fremdsprachenverwendung zu beruflichen Zwecken. Im Kontext der digitalen Realität, die die Subjekte des Spracherwerbs umgibt, stützt sich das Modell auf konstruktivistische und konnektivistische Didaktik. Diskutiert werden Lern- und Lehrstrategien, Lehrpläne und Unterrichtsmaterialien, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der digitalen Medien, sowie die subjektiven Theorien von Lernenden und Lehrenden. Die Studie zielt auch darauf ab, Wege zur Optimierung von Lehrstrategien auf der Grundlage digitaler Medien aufzuzeigen. Dies umfasst auch den Einsatz digitaler Medien beim ungesteuerten Spracherwerb, die Erstellung digitaler Unterrichtsmaterialien und die Verifizierung subjektiver Theorien von Lehrenden und Lernenden.

This book brings together 18 theoretical and empirical chapters that analyse the role of emotion (expression, perception, processing) and identity (notions and representations, construction, conflict) in the process of learning a second language. Studies on the differences in emotionality between L1 and L2 suggest that in L2 there is an alteration that, in many cases, manifests itself as a decrease in the affective load, which can lead to a certain indifference to the emotional content transmitted and to a lesser involvement in communication. It is also known that emotion plays a fundamental role in the construction of identity in a second language in the shaping of the self that feels and communicates and in the ability to cope with the learning process.Most of the studies have focused on the understanding of these issues in balanced bilingual speakers, but there is little evidence on their functioning in speakers with other degrees of proficiency (the case of second language learners) and on their role in the learning process. Better understanding this question is fundamental for the improvement of everything related to second language acquisition. We need new and innovative approaches that lead to more effective programs, increased interest in language learning and the consolidation of multilingual societies.
The book is designed and prepared for ESOL learners. It introduces easy grammar rules, and the learner is acquainted with the logic in the target language.The learner starts to build English sentences easily and gains self-confidence.The motto is;"Learning English is a plus Then why don't you join us It is such a great fun Learn and shine like the sun." ¿¿¿¿
