The Cycle model of intercultural learning aims at the development of global citizenship and comprises four phases: noticing, comparing, reflecting and interaction. Among the central concepts are critical cultural awareness, perspective awareness, local and global contextualisation, and decentering. The article further shows how language learning and intercultural learning may be integrated by combining the Cycle model of intercultural learning with task-based language learning and language learning via chunks and keywords. The argument is illustrated by results from an action research project carried out in Denmark in the school year 2021/2022. Thematically, the project draws inspiration from The UN Global Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities, and addresses students of English, German, and French in grade 8 (15-year-olds). In this article, the focus is on one of the English classes, but the article concludes with reflections on the relevance of all languages.KEYWORDS: Cycle model of intercultural learningglobal citizenship educationcritical cultural awarenessperspective awarenessdecenteringcontextualisation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":17945,"journal":{"name":"Language, Culture and Curriculum","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136294957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results indicate that the teacher training period increased awareness of linguistic challenges and of the importance of students’ L1s in learning. However, some participants’ views reflected monolingual ideologies, especially regarding the conditional use of L1s. Regarding linguistic support, the participants reported using visual supports and explaining vocabulary and structures. Although many participants perceived Binogi as beneficial and motivating, less than half used it. Some participants emphasised that the practice period reinforced their understanding of the importance of multilingual pedagogies. It is important to critically reflect on the language policies and practices of Finnish teacher education and support the dialogue between research and practice regarding a shared understanding of valuing linguistic diversity in teacher education.","PeriodicalId":17945,"journal":{"name":"Language, Culture and Curriculum","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135483416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study examines 61 ASL learners from 25 countries in seven Saudi universities using a quantitative and qualitative questionnaire, with Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour used as a theoretical framework to elicit and analyze the participants' intentions, attitudes, motivations, and challenges. The findings of the quantitative items show that learners hold significant and positive intentions, attitudes, and subjective-norm and perceived-behavioural-control beliefs regarding learning Arabic. These findings show the usefulness of using social psychology to elicit and understand ASL learners' beliefs and predict their intentions to learn Arabic by adapting valid and published questionnaire items. The qualitative results show that religious factors are what motivate ASL learning in Saudi universities. For example, Arabic is the language of sacred texts, the language of the Prophet Muhammad, and the language of Heaven. The most-reported challenges are the instructors' use of local dialects and inadequate training in teaching ASL. When designing curricula, policymakers should consider social factors such as religion, literature, history, and students' backgrounds. It is also recommended that language researchers use theories from other related disciplines to understand fully the perspectives of ASL learners.","PeriodicalId":17945,"journal":{"name":"Language, Culture and Curriculum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47523796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Modern Language Journal, 100(S1), 19–47. https://doi.org/10.1111/modl.12301), this study adopted a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore how two Chinese language teachers in an EMI transnational university developed their collective resilience when navigating challenges through resources across micro-meso-macro levels of contexts. Multiple data sources were collected from government and institutional policy documents, in-depth semi-structured interviews and written reflections over four months and were analysed through phenomenological analysis and content analysis. The findings revealed the salient role of the multi-layered contexts in teachers’ resilience-building processes, which motivated them to achieve the synergistic development of individuals and the institution through collaborative efforts. This study particularly pointed to the importance of conceptualising the contextual features as agentive in shaping collective resilience. We thus propose a multi-layered model for understanding the complex interactions of language teachers’ collective resilience within this specific context of a transnational university, in which the three levels of contexts may be engaged in constant interactions to achieve a conceptual equilibrium. The study concludes with implications in regards to expanding our current understanding of the ways in which language teachers need to be supported throughout their resilience-building process and professional development in the long run.","PeriodicalId":17945,"journal":{"name":"Language, Culture and Curriculum","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41425469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interview data from a case study of nine non-specialist tutor volunteers identified characteristics of their interactions with the CALD parents during informal language learning sessions. This case study analyses characteristics of the types of interactions reported by the volunteers teaching English and Australian Culture to a group of CALD adults. The nine interviewees had not completed formal TESOL qualifications at the time they engaged in the informal language learning sessions. Their reported perceptions highlight the range of ways in which social connectedness emerged during contextualised dialogic sessions in a regional community English learning setting. The study found that the volunteers’ common interest in advancing a sense of parents’ social connectedness accompanied an increased confidence using English in the safe learning space that the volunteers created. The results of the study advocate an outcomes-based dialogic approach to support the expressed social connectedness needs of newcomers into a regional community.","PeriodicalId":17945,"journal":{"name":"Language, Culture and Curriculum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47377852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
