陈宇 赵丹 沈骑:Chinese students’ motivation for learning German and French in an intensive non-degree programme 国际SSCI,A&HCI期刊 Círculo de Lingüística Aplicada a la Comunicación This paper reports on a mixed method study that examined the motivation of 121 students in a 1-year intensive language course in German or French at a Chinese university. Drawing on Dörnyei’s (2009) theory of the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS), a survey was conducted to explore their motivation to learn German or French. Regression analyses revealed that learning experience and promotion-focused instrumentality were the predictors for the German learners’ intended learning effort, while ideal L2 self was the predictor for the French learners’ motivation. Furthermore, ought-to self, culture/community interest and prevention-focused instrumentality were excluded in both regression models. In addition, 17 participants’ qualitative data in the interviews suggested that most of them had lower expectations for the value of German or French than for the value of English in improving one’s employability. Instead, they were much more oriented to learn and appreciate the cultural values of these languages. The results provided insight into the complexity of motivation to learn Languages Other than English (LOTEs) in the university context in China, and suggested future direction for research on LOTE learning motivation.
郭亚东 高雪松:Review on A World of Indigenous Languages: Politics, Pedagogies and Prospects for Language Reclamation 国际SSCI(Q1),A&HCI期刊 Language Policy It could be said that the most signifcant feature of the volume relates to its focus on what people (e.g., indigenous language learners, teachers, policy makers) actually do with indigenous languages, rather than merely collecting linguistic samples and describing the status quo. For this reason, all the contributors in the volume have provided critical insights into indigenous language reclamation for scholars, activists, policy makers and indigenous communities in Australia and beyond. We have no doubt that this volume, as a ‘testimony to contemporary Indigenous language movement and its transformative potential’ (p. xviii), will be an impactful publication that has a lasting infuence on the ongoing eforts to reclaim indigenous languages worldwide. 高雪松 康铭浩:国外语言政策研究的问题和路径CSSCI 期刊《语言文字应用》 本文结合国外语言政策的相关实证研究,基于“自上而下”与“自下而上”两种观察角度,梳理国外语言政策研究的发展历程,并重点分析了其中的“何事”“何时”“何因”“何人”“何路径”五个问题。研究发现,六十年来,国外语言政策研究在视角、范式和方法等方面都发生了显著的变化,研究者对于微观语言政策的研究兴趣日益增加。相关发现对国内语言政策研究体系的发展和完善具有重要的借鉴意义,建议研究者应该整合各种研究方法、框架和范式,来探索语言政策研究中的关键问题。
