商品描述

This book innovatively connects the two fields of oracy and practice-oriented empirical research in English language education. It creates synergies and proposes innovative approaches to the study of oracy in the context of learning and teaching English as a second, additional or foreign language. The book also develops a contemporary and holistic concept of oracy, thus contributing to the theoretical discourse in this area of research.

The first part provides a general framework of different approaches to conducting practice-oriented research in English language teaching. It introduces the concept of oracy and discusses its relevance to language teaching. Design-based research and action research are outlined as two practice-oriented research approaches. The second part presents research on how oracy can be fostered and assessed at primary and secondary levels, while the third part focuses on tertiary education. The contributions to this book highlight the opportunities and challenges of conducting research in, on, and for classroom practice with stakeholders such as teachers, students, teacher trainees, university students, parents, and school administrators. They explore selected teaching methods, assessment and, finally, teacher education. The theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges of research-practice partnerships are also addressed.

This book demonstrates that innovative approaches to the development and assessment of oral skills can be developed through close collaboration between different stakeholders in language education. It serves as an inspiration for other educators and researchers in the field of English language education at all levels.

這本書創新地將口語表達和實踐導向的英語語言教育研究兩個領域聯繫起來。它創造了協同效應並提出了對於在學習和教授英語作為第二語言、附加語言或外語的情境中研究口語表達的創新方法。該書還發展了一個當代且全面的口語表達概念,從而為這一研究領域的理論討論做出了貢獻。

第一部分提供了一個關於在英語教學中進行實踐導向研究的不同方法的一般框架。它介紹了口語表達的概念並討論了它對語言教學的相關性。設計為基礎的研究和行動研究被概述為兩種實踐導向的研究方法。第二部分介紹了如何在小學和中學階段培養和評估口語表達能力,而第三部分則聚焦於高等教育。本書的貢獻突出了在教室實踐中與教師、學生、教師培訓生、大學生、家長和學校管理人員等利益相關者進行研究的機會和挑戰。它們探討了選定的教學方法、評估以及教師教育。同時也討論了研究實踐合作夥伴關係所面臨的理論、方法和實踐挑戰。

這本書展示了通過不同語言教育利益相關者之間的密切合作,可以開發出創新的口語能力發展和評估方法。它將成為各級英語語言教育領域的其他教育工作者和研究人員的靈感來源。
