Abstract

This study presents an in-depth inquiry into teachers’ beliefs about a language awareness approach to secondary school foreign language education. The study aims to deepen our insight into (the differences in) teachers’ beliefs about language awareness and facilitate the discussion about including language awareness in foreign language curricula. Ten EFL teachers were interviewed about their beliefs about language awareness. Analysis of the interviews revealed that teachers do not have a shared understanding of the concept of language awareness as related to the five domains of language awareness set out. Furthermore, several beliefs could be characterised as conflicting. These conflicts were found in the context of student learning, teacher collaboration, the curriculum and the link with other languages. The results suggest a number of challenges that need to be addressed when including language awareness in foreign language education. These challenges could serve as a point of departure for a dialogue with and between teachers. Furthermore, they could support teachers to find out how language awareness fits best within the existing EFL curricula.

阐明高中教师对语言意识的信念:从冲突到挑战

摘要

这项研究对教师关于中学外语教育中一种语言意识方法的信念进行了深入研究。这项研究旨在加深我们对教师关于语言意识的(差异)看法的认识,并促进有关将语言意识纳入外语课程的讨论。采访了十位EFL老师关于他们对语言意识的信念。对访谈的分析表明,教师对语言意识的概念没有共同的理解,因为这与语言意识的五个领域有关。此外,一些信念可能被描述为冲突。这些冲突是在学生学习,教师合作,课程设置以及与其他语言的链接中发现的。结果表明,在将语言意识纳入外语教育中时,需要解决许多挑战。这些挑战可以作为与教师之间以及教师之间进行对话的出发点。此外,他们可以支持教师发现语言意识如何在现有EFL课程中最合适。
