Thus, they must find ways to deal with the challenge of learning both language and content simultaneously. Learners who are able to regulate their own learning through a variety of metacognitive and cognitive perspectives and procedures are more likely to meet this challenge successfully. This paper first examines the construct of self-regulation as applied to second and foreign language learners and related constructs. Then the components of contentbased language instruction (CBI) and content and language integrated learning (CLIL) models are described. Next, Understanding by Design (UbD), an instructional model that is becoming increasingly popular with language educators in the United States is suggested as a vehicle for explicitly developing self-regulated learning in CBI and CLIL classrooms.","PeriodicalId":344015,"journal":{"name":"New Perspectives on the Development of Communicative and Related Competence in Foreign Language Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121279112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instruction as intervention is of two basic kinds – direct and indirect. Direct intervention involves providing learners with explicit information about the target of the instruction together with opportunities to practice the target (i.e. explicit instruction). It invites intentional language learning on the part of the learner. Indirect intervention involves setting up opportunities for learners to learn without specifying what the target of the instruction is (i.e. implicit instruction). In other words, there is no explicit teaching of the target feature although there are opportunities to engage in the use of it. Implicit instruction caters to incidental language learning on the part of the learner. These two types of intervention assume different positions regarding the interface between explicit and implicit knowledge of a second language (i.e. a non-interface, a strong interface, and a weak interface position). This talk will consider these interface positions through an examination of recent research that has investigated the effects of explicit and implicit instruction on second language acquisition.","PeriodicalId":344015,"journal":{"name":"New Perspectives on the Development of Communicative and Related Competence in Foreign Language Education","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126829753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Talmy (1985, 1991, 2000) suggests the typology of motion event descriptions, in which languages can be classified into S-languages and V-languages based on the patterns by which languages code the path of motion. The study examines how the description types of first language (L1) influence their event descriptions in second language (L2) through a production experiment. After reviewing the data obtained from the descriptions of caused motions, we found that L1 English and L1 Hungarian show different patterns, though both languages have means to express complex events in one simple sentence. The analysis of Japanese learner’s L2 data (English and Hungarian) in comparison with their L1 data (Japanese) shows that the coding patterns of L2 are considered to be influenced by the ones of L1, showing distinctive use of deictic expressions. It is also argued that the learners use some strategies to overcome difficulty in expressing complex caused motion events. These findings demonstrate the necessity of deeper understanding for the coding patterns of languages when teaching.","PeriodicalId":344015,"journal":{"name":"New Perspectives on the Development of Communicative and Related Competence in Foreign Language Education","volume":"69 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127982536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
