Produktinformation
What is linguistic distance, and how does it generate language learning difficulties? How does the demography of a society mold peoples' motivation to learn English?And how does the Confucian culture shape the pedagogy in the English classrooms of Asia? When discussing culture in language education, the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has always focused on the culture of the target language (L2). This book, however, unveils how the culture of learners' first language (L1) influences second language learning. Within the chapters, dialogues with Chinese and Taiwanese students unravel truths about how aspects of the Chinese-speaking culture interfere with students' English acquisition. Culture is a valuable asset; however, educators should note if an incorporation of the L1 culture in the English classroom is beneficial to the development of students' English skills. From the platforms of linguistic, societal, and educational culture, new perspectives on culture in SLA are revealed.Produktkennzeichnungen
