项目摘要

This research offers a snapshot of the presence and visibility of languages and their associated cultures in contemporary society. The survey focuses on Birmingham, the country's second city, that hosts speakers of over 100 languages. This multicultural city has a long working-class history and is home to migrants, a population increasingly excluded from language education (British Council's Language Trends Survey 2018). It also falls outside recent DfE's attempts to promote excellence in language pedagogy. Yet, the region has benefited from local initiatives in support of languages and cultures (e.g. the West Midlands Routes into Languages network hosted until summer 21 by Aston University). That institution's withdrawal of language programmes means that UG programmes including languages will soon be restricted to red-brick institutions Birmingham and Warwick, which effectively excludes a significant portion of the regional population from studying languages and compromises the supply of teachers. This challenges ambitious initiatives in inner-city schools such as Broadway Academy that intensively promotes languages for school improvement, or the King Edward VI Consortium's declared ambition to "make the city the best place to study in the UK." Birmingham's diversity, its central position and well-established academic links with the community make this project an ideal case study for initial diagnostic and recommendations in support of future research into linguistic and cultural diversity. The project's originality is to adopt a bottom-up approach by involving the grassroots in the survey and the diagnosis of the situation, and to look for measures that raise lay awareness of the economic, societal and personal benefits of learning languages and their associated cultures. In concrete terms, this means that:1. the presence and visibility of languages will be surveyed in everyday contexts such as education (e.g. languages offered, sustainability of teacher supply), businesses, public services (e.g.access to health or justice services in languages other than English) or leisure (e.g. multilingualism in the local cultural productions). This will help assess the exposure to linguistic and cultural diversity in daily life.2. Non-academic input will be core to the project. The data will come from the everyday experience of lay citizens and will be collected on the ground by local stakeholders, recent language graduates (currently engaged in PG study, incl. teaching qualifications) who used to be language ambassadors for Routes into Languages West Midlands and undergraduate placement and final year students. Such research assistants are expected to build a more direct rapport with the informants and to provide an approach devoid of academic preconceptions. The public will also be invited to contribute to the survey by submitting images of the linguistic landscape of Birmingham through a locally adapted version of LinguaSnapp. A school competition will be organised to encourage pupils to consider the visibility of languages around their school. This crowdsourcing of data will serve the community. For instance, the presence of certain languages in areas of the city provides (unlike the census that suffers from the potential distortions of self-report) an up-to-date snapshot of language use and needs in a neighbourhood. Such information could inform the translation of official documents (see the lack of information in community languages during the COVID19 crisis) or the marketing strategy of local businesses.3. Recommendations will focus on initiatives that broaden access to languages and their associated cultures, develop appreciation for and sustainability of language provision and on deliverables that positively impact the community and exhibit the economic, societal and personal benefits of multilingualism and multiculturalism, thereby igniting a renewed interest in languages and supporting their future and study in the UK
这项研究提供了当代社会中语言及其相关文化的存在和可见性的快照。这项调查的重点是英国第二大城市伯明翰,那里有100多种语言的使用者。这座多元文化的城市有着悠久的工人阶级历史,是移民的家园,移民越来越多地被排除在语言教育之外(英国文化协会2018年语言趋势调查)。它也不在DFE最近促进语言教育学卓越的努力范围之内。然而,该区域受益于支持语言和文化的地方倡议(例如,由阿斯顿大学主办的西米德兰兹郡语言之路网络,直至21日夏季)。该机构取消语言课程意味着,包括语言在内的UG课程很快将仅限于伯明翰和华威的红砖学校,这实际上将该地区相当大一部分人口排除在学习语言的门外,并影响了教师的供应。这对市中心学校的雄心勃勃的举措构成了挑战,比如百老汇学院大力推广语言以促进学校进步,或者爱德华六世国王联盟宣布的“让这座城市成为英国最适合学习的地方”的雄心。伯明翰的多样性、中心地位和与社区建立了良好的学术联系,使该项目成为支持未来语言和文化多样性研究的初步诊断和建议的理想案例。该项目的独创性是采取自下而上的方法,让草根阶层参与调查和情况诊断,并寻求提高普通民众对学习语言及其相关文化的经济、社会和个人好处的认识的措施。具体而言,这意味着:1.将在教育(例如,提供的语言、教师供应的可持续性)、企业、公共服务(例如,以英语以外的语言获得医疗或司法服务的机会)或休闲(例如,在当地文化产品中使用多种语言)等日常环境中调查语言的存在和能见度。这将有助于评估日常生活中接触到语言和文化多样性的情况。非学术投入将是该项目的核心。数据将来自非专业人士的日常经验,并将由当地利益相关者、新近毕业的语言专业学生(包括目前正在从事PG研究的学生)实地收集。教学资格),他们曾经是西米德兰兹郡语言学习路线的语言大使,以及本科生安置和最后一年的学生。预计这些研究助理将与举报人建立更直接的融洽关系,并提供一种没有学术成见的方法。公众还将被邀请通过当地改编的LanguaSnapp提交伯明翰语言景观的图像,从而为调查做出贡献。学校将组织一场比赛,鼓励学生考虑学校周围语言的能见度。这种数据众包将服务于社区。例如,某些语言在城市地区的存在(与可能受到自我报告扭曲的人口普查不同)提供了关于社区语言使用和需求的最新快照。这类信息可为官方文件的翻译提供参考(见病毒危机期间缺乏社区语言的信息)或当地企业的营销战略。建议将侧重于扩大接触语言及其相关文化的机会,发展对语言提供的欣赏和可持续性,以及对社区产生积极影响的交付成果,并展示多语言和多文化的经济、社会和个人好处,从而重新激发人们对语言的兴趣,并支持他们在英国的未来和学习
