Announcing the publication of two new volumes in the Multilingual Matters Series Early Language Learning in School Contexts. Janet Enever discusses with the authors: Maria Britton, Annamaria Pinter & Kuchah Kuchah (recorded 6th May 2021).
视频概要：
Current developments in the field of assessing young learners’ language skills emphasise the importance of learner-centred approaches. In her monograph Britton emphasises the role that can be played by regular use of assessment techniques by the learner in their progress towards proficiency in a foreign language. She introduces the concept of Assessment for Learning (AfL), an assessment practice which aims to facilitate learning, not just to evaluate what learners have already achieved, proposing that AfL provides information on how to support the learner in taking their learning forward. She argues that good assessment in primary classes needs to be linked to learning, making it engaging for learners. She proposes that AfL can achieve this. In the discussion Britton explains how her book has looked at the practice of AfL through the eyes of those who have used it – the primary teachers.
Following this, Pinter and Kuchah Kuchah discuss their new edited collection of papers focusing on ethical and methodological issues which arise when researching young language learners. Pinter draws attention to how little has so far been published on this theme in relation to young learners. She cites a trend away from conducting research on children towards researching with children, explaining how their publication includes papers from a range of researchers providing information on navigating the ethical and methodological dilemmas which arise during the processes of research. Kuchah Kuchah illustrates this further by outlining the substantial investment of time in getting to know the learners in his study in Cameroon - a vital prerequisite in gaining the trust of the children he conducted research with. The discussion continues, covering many related themes, concluding with some questions from the virtual audience – don't miss the discount offer from Multilingual Matters at the end of the video!
