Relevant Predictors for Multiple Language and Intercultural Learning. A Quasi-Experimental Study on Multilingual Orientation in French as a Foreign Language Instruction

计划中的项目是一个跨学科项目，因此，它将应用语言学与跨文化学习的教育理论相结合，开发促进语言迁移和跨文化敏感性的培训，旨在确定法语教学中语言学习和跨文化学习的相关预测因素。将分析培训对语言学习和文化间敏感性的效果，培训中将特别注意移民家庭语言的使用。通过准实验设计，分析了影响语言学习和跨文化学习的相关因素。为此，将与专家一起为七年级学生开展教学培训，将词汇语言迁移应用于学校语言以及移民的传统语言，主要是土耳其语、俄语和波兰语。此外，培训将涉及接受和认识多种语文的问题。培训是在普通课堂上进行的，作为一种低影响的干预措施，由大约15个教学单元组成，每个单元大约需要15分钟的教学时间。结合实证研究和语言学习理论以及跨文化能力模型，对语言学习和跨文化学习的相关预测因素进行控制，分析它们对语言和跨文化学习的影响以及这些变量之间可能的相互作用和相关性。计划出版将在项目过程中编制的教材，供外语教学普遍使用。

The planned project is an interdisciplinary one, thus it combines applied linguistics with educational theories on intercultural learning, developing a language transfer promoting and intercultural sensitizing training which aims at the identification of relevant predictors for language learning and intercultural learning in French instruction. The effectiveness of the training for language learning and intercultural sensitizing purposes will be analyzed, and the use of family languages of immigrants will receive special attention within the training. By ways of a quasi-experimental design, the relevant factors for language learning and intercultural learning are going to be analyzed. For this purpose an instructional training for 7th-grade students is going to be developed together with experts which will apply lexical language transfer to school languages as well as to heritage languages of immigrants, mainly Turkish, Russian and Polish. Furthermore, the training will address the acceptance and awareness of multilingualism. The training is implemented in the regular classroom as a low impact intervention, consisting of about 15 instructional units, each of which takes about 15 minutes of the instruction time. Considering empirical research and language learning theory as well as models on intercultural competence, relevant predictors for language learning as well as for intercultural learning are going to be controlled for and their impact on language and intercultural learning as well as possible interactions and correlations between these variables are going to be analyzed. The teaching material which will be developed in the course of the project is planned to be published for the general use in foreign language instruction.
