Meryl Kusyk – författare

Le présent ouvrage regroupe des articles issus de deux manifestations qui ont eu lieu en 2014 dans la Région métropolitaine trinationale du Rhin supérieur : le colloque « Eurographics 2014 – Immersion pour l’apprentissage et l’éducation » et l’atelier de recherche franco-allemand « L’apprentissage médiatisé des langues dans la région transfrontalière du Rhin supérieur : état des lieux et perspectives ». Les articles y rendent compte de la diversité des outils technologiques utilisés pour l’apprentissage en général, et plus spécifiquement celui des langues. Les auteurs présentent les potentialités de ces technologies, par exemple, celles du Tableau Blanc Interactif, des plateformes d’apprentissage ou encore de la réalité virtuelle qui plonge l’apprenant dans un monde entièrement créé par ordinateur. Les activités d’apprentissage informel en ligne, telles que le visionnage des séries télévisées, y sont également abordées. Les contributions recueillies interrogent l’adaptation technique et surtout les apports de ces outils pour l’apprentissage en général et pour l’acquisition des langues en particulier.

The study of informal involvement with additional languages has recently emerged as a dynamic research field in SLA. With the rapid development and spread of internet-based technologies, contact with foreign languages outside the classroom has become commonplace. While this can take multiple forms, online contents are a major driving force because they present learners with unprecedented opportunities for exposure to and use of target languages regardless of their physical location. Research from diverse geographical, educational and socio-economic contexts bring a rich variety of perspectives to this book. It explores these phenomena via a range of theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches, focusing particularly on individual differences and language development. The volume proposes that teachers in formal learning settings should seek to support and facilitate the development of these identities and practices, and it indicates means they can adopt to best do so.
