ABSTRACT

As multi/plurilingual research advances understandings of plurilingual speakers’ fluid language use, particularly in multilingual settings, new research methods and pedagogical orientations that address this complex phenomenon are needed. The present study considered the development, reliability, and validity of the Plurilingual and Pluricultural Competence (PPC) scale. Informed by sociolinguistics theories in educational linguistics, including plurilingualism and translanguaging, the PPC scale had its content validated by researchers, language teachers and learners. It was then implemented with 379 plurilingual speakers in two multilingual cities in Canada: 129 in Toronto and 250 in Montréal. Exploratory factor analysis examined the factors in the scale and whether PPC referred to language and culture as separate dimensions or, as theoretically suggested, a unidimensional construct. Results reveal PPC as one construct, suggesting that language and culture are interrelated. With 22 items on a 4-point Likert scale, the PPC scale is a new instrument that can be used in future multi/plurilingual research and pedagogy. Its significance lies in that the scale can gather overall trends among plurilinguals’ PPC levels, which can have implications for language education, curriculum and policy. Recommendations for future use are discussed.

多语言和多文化能力(PPC)量表:语言和文化的不可分割性

摘要

随着多/多语言研究促进了对多语言使用者流畅语言使用的理解,特别是在多语言环境中,需要新的研究方法和解决这一复杂现象的教学方向。本研究考虑了多语言和多文化能力(PPC)量表的开发、信度和效度。PPC量表以教育语言学中的社会语言学理论为基础,包括多语言和跨语言,其内容得到了研究人员、语言教师和学习者的验证。然后在加拿大的两个多语种城市有 379 名会说多种语言的人实施:多伦多有 129 人,蒙特利尔有 250 人。探索性因素分析检查了量表中的因素以及 PPC 是否将语言和文化称为单独的维度,或者,正如理论上所建议的那样,一维构造。结果表明,PPC 是一种结构,表明语言和文化是相互关联的。在李克特 4 点量表上有 22 个项目,PPC 量表是一种新的工具,可用于未来的多/多语言研究和教学法。其意义在于该量表可以收集多语种PPC水平的总体趋势,这可能对语言教育、课程和政策产生影响。讨论了未来使用的建议。其意义在于该量表可以收集多语种PPC水平的总体趋势,这可能对语言教育、课程和政策产生影响。讨论了未来使用的建议。其意义在于该量表可以收集多语种PPC水平的总体趋势,这可能对语言教育、课程和政策产生影响。讨论了未来使用的建议。
