Either in the realm of the mother tongue debating, or in the problematization of the second language classroom, the matters related to the assessment conduct and to the linguistic behavior of both teachers and students should not be underestimated or even left aside. Linguistic diversity is broadly present in the school context, and it is imperative not to overlook the way this reality is considered and the linguistic policies which are present and necessary. Whereas the assessment process is an integral part of the formation of the student’s identity, it is relevant to consider the theoretical concept of this process as well as the practice current in the school context. This paper gathers definitions on the assessment conduct and linguistic behavior, highlighting the role played by the teacher in classroom routine aiming at the flexibility of the process, as well as the appreciation of the pupil’s linguistic individuality.
This paper investigates the role of Hunsrückisch, a dialect spoken by German descendents in South Brazil, in regard to the performance of high school students in the proficiency exam Deutsches Sprachdiplom (DSD-I). The article will first discuss the concept of bilinguism and then analyzes the performance of bilingual students (Portuguese/German) from the Instituo de Educação Ivoti in DSD-I exams over the last 5 years.
This paper discusses the assessment of German language learners in classes for beginners in a context gathering monolingual Portuguese speakers and bilingual speakers of Portuguese and Hunsrückisch, a German dialect derived from the contact of an immigration language and Portuguese. One of the challanges faced by the teachers of these heterogeneous classes is to assess learners’ classroom achievement once dialect speakers’ needs are considerably different from novice learners’. It is suggested that teachers make a compromise between the course objectives and the learners’ different proficiencies and needs to assess their language progress, incorporating and valuing students’ multicultural and experiential backgrounds.
This article analyzes two oral narratives produced in a school in Santa Maria do Herval (RS). These narratives are peculiar because of the frequent code switching, sometimes from Portuguese to standard German, sometimes from standard Portuguese to the dialectal variety spoken in that particular community. The first narrative to be analyzed is produced in the story telling time, in which the librarian tells the children a story from a picture book, switching the code between Portuguese and German. The second narrative is a story told by the class teacher during talking in circle, also based on a picture book. The code switching in this narrative involves teacher/pupils interaction directly. The use of both languages is, as mentioned by Breunig (2005), a cultural responsive pedagogy, since the language spoken at home by most children is being positively valued at school. Furthermore, teachers’ practices are close to those carried out by the children at home.
As linguist, we always have to deal with terms like First, Second and Foreign Languages, but many times we don’t notice, how peculiars they are and how specific and difficult are their definitions. In Brazil, we have peculiar situations of immigrant languages, which are spoken in some groups of people in some communities in their day-by-day. There is much controversy related to the denomination we give to these linguistic varieties, what concerns its status and its relationship with the other neighbor or concurrent varieties. In this paper, we intend to discuss theoretically the terms above, transporting the denomination and its application to the reality of some bilingual communities from Rio Grande do Sul, in which people speak minority languages of Germanic origins. On the basis of empirical tests, we aim to give here a profile of the socio linguistic situation of these minority varieties what concerns its speakers, the foreign language teachers (specially of the High-German) and the community in general.
This study examines the particularities of multilingual discourse, based on the example of recorded conversations in a trilingual family in Canada. It combines two different fields of linguistic research: multilingualism and conversation analysis. The study of multilingualism has developed into a popular field of linguistic research over the past two decades. In general, it focuses on bilingualism as a social and individual phenomenon, and in particular on the alternation between two languages in the speech of bilinguals. For this alternation, the term code-switching is widely used. Usually, the term refers to language alternation both between sentences and within sentence boundaries. From a sociolinguistic perspective code-switching is often interpreted as a means of signaling group membership in bilingual communities, whereas grammatical analyses examine how morphosyntactic units from different languages are combined (and can be combined) within one sentence. Auer (1998: 3) suggests the study of the conversational structure of code-switching as a third perspective on bilingual language usage, one that he claims has been widely neglected by linguistic research in the past. In particular, those cases of language alternation between utterances (sentences) but within the same conversation cannot be described adequately from either a macro-sociolinguistic or a morphosyntactic perspective.
Međimurski interdijalekt
(2007)
U radu autor donosi rezultate istraživanja razgovornog jezika odabrane skupine mlađih govornika međimurskog dijalekta. U prvom se dijelu rada opisuju “čvrsti dijelovi” međimurskoga dijalekta, tj. one osobine toga dijalekta koje su se u ispitivanom govoru očuvale kod većine ispitanika i koje će najvjerojatnije još vrlo dugo opstati. U drugom dijelu rada opisuju se one osobine toga dijalekta za koje se čini da su u govoru većine ispitanika nestale ili se vidi tendencija nestajanja. Situacija nalik opisanoj u ovom radu sve se više zamjećuje i na terenskim istraživanjima toga dijalekta.
The role of migration and language contact in the development of the Sino-Tibetan language family

Minority languages of China
(2007)
This chapter looks at language endangerment in the People's Republic of China, focusing on three of the main factors that influence language maintenance in China today: increased contact due to population movements and changes in the economy; the population policies of the government, particularly the identification of nationalities and languages; and the education system, particularly bilingual education. Finally, we give a brief account of the major efforts to document endangered languages.
Dieser Beitrag soll die fossilierte Lernervarietät darstellen, wie sie von vielen in der Deutschschweiz assimilierten Welschen gesprochen wird. Obwohl der deutsch-französische Sprachkontakt in der Schweiz schon lange intensiv ist, ist diese Varietät noch kaum beschrieben, während das Verhältnis von Welsch- und Deutschschweizern in Untersuchungen zur viersprachigen Schweiz oft thematisiert wird. Die folgende Auswahl soll nur einen Einblick geben in diese Fragestellungen: Die Einstellung der Romands zum Schweizerdeutschen und ihre Bereitschaft, die Mundart zu lernen, untersucht G. Lüdi (1992), U. Windisch u.a. (1994) dokumentieren die Alltagsbeziehungen zwischen Romands und Deutschschweizern, B. Py (1996) zeigt die Funktion des Code-Switching in bi- oder multilingualen Gemeinschaften, darunter viele Beispiele von Romands. Mehrfach untersucht wurde die Sprachwahl und das Sprachverhalten in den zweisprachigen Städten Biel und Fribourg (u.a. C. Brohy (1992); G. Kolde (1981)). In den letzten Jahren sind einige Arbeiten zur schweizerdeutschen Lernervarietät der italienischen, griechischen und türkischen Immigranten erschienen (G. Berruto und H. Burger (1985); W. de Jong (1986), S. dal Negro (1993); I. Werlen (1986)). Zur dialektalen Varietät der Welschen hingegen ist mir einzig die Arbeit von I. Werlen (1991) bekannt. Im Rahmen eines Projekts des Phonogrammarchivs der Universität Zürich zu den Sprachvarietäten in der Stadt Bern wurde auch eine Aufnahme eines Welschen realisiert. Diese Aufnahme möchte ich hier präsentieren.
