Sandra Descourtis – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Despite their permeation in standard French, language variations, such as "argot" and "verlan" are seldom included in the curriculum of French university language programs in the U.S. Variations are often perceived negatively, leading to stigmatization towards the social groups who use them (Bourdieu 1982; Devereaux and Palmer,…

Díaz, Adriana R.; Fillmore, Naomi; Cordella, Marisa – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2023
The state of language education in Australia has long been described as paradoxical.

García, Ofelia – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2019
In this article I reflect on Turnbull's reframing of foreign language education through a bilingual framework.

That is, foreign…

Lowe, Robert J. – English Language Education, 2020
This book introduces the concept of the "'native speaker' frame": a perceptual filter within English Language Teaching (ELT) which views the linguistic and cultural norms and the educational technology of the anglophone West as being normative, while the norms and practices of non-Western countries are viewed as deficient. Based on a…
