Beschreibungen
Document from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - Adult Education, University of Malta, language: English, abstract: Learning a foreign language is complex and unpredictable. Furthermore, speaking different languages is becoming increasingly important in today’s globalized world. However, it requires several strategies to gain the best possible result. Relevant challenges are problems related to memory, personality, culture shock, communicating with native speakers and boring and traditional teaching methods.
What is the most effective way of learning a foreign language? What is happening in our mind when we are learning a foreign language and how can adult learners overcome their personal challenges? Dr. Jacqueline Żammit explores the use of Maltese verbs by thirty-five non-native learners from all walks of life and different parts of the world to better understand and improve the language learning process.
To provide practical advice to foreign language learners, the author explores the acquisition of Maltese, which could easily be applied to any other foreign language acquisition. The book adopts chaos/complexity theory (C/CT) as a conceptual framework in a unique way and interprets the process of learning from both cognitive and sociocultural perspectives. It addresses any foreign language learner as well as teachers, lecturers, and school administrators. For methodical reasons, the book is also interesting for linguistic researchers. Furthermore, education policymakers will benefit from the findings, especially when it comes to understanding students’ and adult learners’ learning curves and language learning challenges.
This academic textbook is truly remarkable as each chapter starts with a funny comic-strip and a quotation. Join thirty-five adult non-native speakers as they overcome challenges and develop strategies to learn Maltese as a foreign language!
Happy Reading!
