Ikpana Interrogatives
This book documents the interrogative system of Ikpana, an endangered indigenous Ghana-Togo Mountain language of eastern Ghana also known as Logba. The system is notable in several respects. It exhibits features that buck certain typological trends, act as counterexamples to some claims about language universals, and exemplify fascinating patterns that are either rare or unfamiliar in interrogative systems cross-linguistically. Drawing on original fieldwork and a combination of formal/theoretical, experimental, and comparative methodologies, the book provides a theoretically-informed description and analysis of Ikpana interrogative grammar, encompassing both syntactic and phonological aspects of question formation in the language. The chapters explore a range of phenomena including polar question formation, wh- movement, wh- in-situ, interrogative intonation, and prosody, among others. The authors demonstrate that theoretically-guided language documentation does not only contribute to language description, but can also increase understanding of the human Language Faculty and expand the empirical base of language typologies: bringing formal and theoretical concerns to the fore facilitates richer descriptions of the grammar than purely descriptive approaches allow.

The Art Of Writing and Speaking The English Language
"Do You Make These Mistakes in English?"Sherwin Cody was an American writer and entrepreneur who developed a long-running home-study course in speaking and writing with an advertisement with this title.A critic of traditional English education, Cody advocated colloquial style and grammar. He asked: What is the reason so many of us are deficient in the use of English and find our careers stunted in consequence?Why is it some cannot spell correctly and others cannot punctuate?Why do so many find themselves at a loss for words to express their meaning adequately? The reason for the deficiency is clear: Most persons do not write or speak good English simply because they never formed the habit of doing so.Most persons use only common words -- colorless, flat, ordinary. Their speech and their letters are lifeless, monotonous, humdrum.If there is a subject of really universal interest and utility, it is the art of writing and speaking one's own language effectively.It is the basis of culture, as we all know; but it is infinitely more than that: it is the basis of business. No salesman can sell anything unless he can explain the merits of his goods in effective English (among our people), or can write an advertisement equally effective, or present his ideas, and the facts, in a letter.
Teachers' Research in Language Education
Over the past decade, interest in language teacher education and professionalization programs has increased significantly mainly due to global educational reforms, which have been driven by internationalization, multilingualism, the rise of new literacy and the incorporation of technologies. These reforms, based on the challenges of knowledge societies and networks, have created the need to re-evaluate and reconceptualize teacher training and teacher professional development as a "fundamental connection to teaching" (Bryant et al., 2008; V矇laz de Medrano & Vaillant, 2009; Espinosa, 2012; Johnson and Golombeck, 2018). The main objective is, then, to "prepare the new generations within an increasingly uncertain and demanding global scenario" (P矇rez Ru穩z, 2014, p 114). This publication addresses work on the education of language teachers in a variety of sociocultural, educational and institutional contexts carried out in Mexico and Latin America with various methodological designs and approaches from different theoretical perspectives. Therefore, in the context of current challenges, we seek to promote the exchange, discussions of experience and results of research and reflection that can influence the direction and implementation of language policies regarding teacher education and teacher professionalization for language teaching.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Hildesheim, language: English, abstract: This bachelor thesis is about foreign language test anxiety in EFL learners.

After explaining different types of anxiety, I will explain the topic foreign language anxiety specifically. This is followed by an introduction to the topic of foreign language test anxiety.

For this purpose, I will deal separately with reading, listening, writing and oral production regarding the first question. In the second question, I will then focus specifically on factors that can have an impact on test anxiety. At the end, the results are discussed and concluded.

The Dialect of Polish Spoken in Cruz Machado, Paran獺; A Portrait of a Language Apart
The Polish language was brought to Brazil by Polish-speaking peasants who came to the New World in the late 19th and early 20th century. Since then, the language has been developing in relative isolation from the European Polish context. In this monograph, the author focuses on a dialect of Polish still spoken in a remote community in the south of Brazil. The dialect's origins, history, and present character are investigated to portray the language as a result of a multilingual process with a specific starting point. On the basis of the original data recorded in the community, the author establishes a viable baseline for future in-depth studies of linguistic phenomena. She pays special attention to the distinct identity of the speakers, which mirrors the dialect's distinct character.

Thinking with an Accent
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Everyone speaks with an accent, but what is an accent? Thinking with an Accent introduces accent as a powerfully coded yet underexplored mode of perception that includes looking, listening, acting, reading, and thinking. This volume convenes scholars of media, literature, education, law, language, and sound to theorize accent as an object of inquiry, an interdisciplinary method, and an embodied practice. Accent does more than just denote identity: from algorithmic bias and corporate pedagogy to migratory poetics and the politics of comparison, accent mediates global economies of discrimination and desire. Accents happen between bodies and media. They negotiate power and invite attunement. These essays invite the reader to think with an accent--to practice a dialogical and multimodal inquiry that can yield transformative modalities of knowledge, action, and care.

Understanding the Effects of Climate Change and Environmental Issues by Using Online Research Methods (12th grade, high school)
Lesson Plan from the year 2022 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Discussion and Essays, grade: 1,7, University of Trier, course: Technology supported language learning, language: English, abstract: The curriculum states that students should be prepared to develop techniques and strategies for the acquisition of knowledge. In the process, fundamental skills in working with texts, materials and learning objects are to be practiced. The online research task is based on this foundation. As students come across numerous articles, posts, pictures, videos, tweets, etc., they need to be able to gain a brief overview of the content of a text, filter the most important information and combine different information from several materials. They must actively acquire knowledge by working independently, thoughtfully and in a goal-oriented manner; different Internet or news sites are used according to their own goals and needs. In particular, the ability to use media critically is trained by instructing the students to use reputable and reliable sources. Since they already have prior knowledge, the Guideline for online research is meant to reiterate the necessary aspects. Berufsschulen in particular are directly affected by technological and economic changes brought by digitization considering their direct preparation for the working sphere, which emphasizes the importance of the skills taught in the lesson. Technology is becoming more advanced and is entering all areas of life, including the education system and teaching English a second or foreign language. As the daily use of online sources and media among adolescents has nearly doubled in the last ten years, from approximately 138 minutes in 2010 to 258 minutes in 2020, and continues to increase, it is essential to design English language teaching tasks more digitally oriented.
