Innovative Methods in Korean Language Teaching
Innovative Methods in Korean Language Teaching showcases research-based and experience-based contributions and reflections on the potential of adopting technological and non-technological innovations to promote Korean language students’ learning. The chapters included in this book consider a wide range of innovative technologies and approaches, such as large language models, virtual reality solutions, metaverse platforms, multimodal teaching, and critical pedagogy, and represent a variety of geographical learning contexts from North America to Europe, from Korea to the broader Asia-Pacific region. Overall, these contributions make the case for embracing new technologies instead of banning them and for accepting pedagogical shifts that take into consideration contemporary understandings of the communication, teaching, and learning processes. This book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, and practitioners of Korean language education and to those working on language teaching and learning in general, to inform future teaching practices through careful consideration of contemporary technologies and teaching approaches.
Lifelong Motivation and Foreign Language Learning
Author: Bérénice Darnault
language: en
Publisher: Channel View Publications
Release Date: 2025-02-05
This book traces the motivational dynamics embedded within lifelong foreign language learning trajectories, examining the factors which generate and sustain motivation throughout a learner’s life. Embracing a complexity approach, it views motivation as a long-term individual process that evolves along a narrative continuum, developing over the course of life, personal experiences, choices and events. This narrative inquiry delves into the captivating and unique experiences of three exceptionally motivated older adult learners who have embarked on a lifelong foreign language journey and maintained their momentum after 60. It will be relevant to researchers interested in third age language acquisition, L2 motivation and the impact of additional language learning on wellbeing. It also offers pedagogical guidance to optimise language education quality through better appreciation and anticipation of the autonomous third age learning experience.
Motivation to Learn Multiple Languages in Japan
Author: Chika Takahashi
language: en
Publisher: Channel View Publications
Release Date: 2022-11-22
This book provides rare insights into motivation among extremely successful learners of English and languages other than English (LOTEs) through the analysis of a longitudinal study and the examination of the factors involved in becoming multilingual in a non-multilingual environment. Based on sixteen interview sessions, conducted over the course of nine years while the learners progressed from high school to the world of work, this book offers the story of how two learners persist in English/LOTE learning. The study illuminates the long-term processes through which the interviewees develop ideal English/LOTE selves in an environment where multilingualism is not emphasized and where both English and LOTEs can still be described as foreign languages. Educators and researchers will learn from this study, which stretches our understanding of motivation beyond the recent theorizing of L2 motivation and contributes to the limited research in long-term motivational trajectories and LOTE learning motivation, which is particularly scarce in non-European contexts. The book will be of interest not only to readers in Japan but also to those in other contexts as it offers an example of successful learners who go beyond the pragmatic and instrumentalist view of language learning to hold a more holistic view, thus revealing the factors which can sustain multiple language learning, even in foreign language contexts.
