What are the English language needs and priorities of young adults in Europe? What kinds of English do 18-24 year olds want to speak, and why? Has the development of new technologies and online communication affected the ways in which young adults use English, and if so, how? Has the emergence of English as an international Lingua Franca affected people’s sense of their own identity? And what might this mean for English language teaching and learning?
Northumbria University and King’s College London (both UK), supported by the British Council, are surveying student and teacher perceptions of the English language needs of young adults in Europe, and the implications of this for English language teaching.
This survey asks teachers their views about how and why young adults learn and use English, the kinds of English they want to speak, and what this might mean for English language teaching. In the survey, the term ‘young adult’ refers to 18-24 year olds.
The survey is therefore for all English language teachers working in Europe. It should take approximately 20 minutes to complete and answers are completely confidential. (Note: Although the focus is on young adult learners, aged between 18-24 years old, teachers working with learners of all ages are invited to participate. ‘English language teachers’ is a deliberately broad criteria for taking part in the project and includes, for example, those who teach EFL, ESL, ESOL, EIL, ESP, EAP and so on, those who both teach language and train teachers, who teach and manage etc.).

“Being able to speak English is one thing, knowing how to write it is another”: Young Icelanders’ perceptions of writing in English is an article in English reporting a qualitative study on perceived relevance of secondary school English studies in Iceland.
Grein Önnu Jeeves segir frá eigindlegri rannsókn á meintu gildi enskunáms í framhaldsskólum á Íslandi. Viðtöl við framhaldsskóla- og háskólanema, og ungt fólk í atvinnulífinu veita innsýn í viðhorf þeirra til enskunáms í framhaldsskóla. Í greininni er lögð áhersla á hvert viðhorf nemenda er til ritunar á ensku í námi og hvaða breytingar á námsefni og kennsluaðferðum gætu komið þar að gagni. Greinin hefst á stuttu yfirliti um það nýjasta í fræðilegri umfjöllun um ritun í kennslu ensku sem erlends tungumáls. Fjallað er um aðalnámskrá fyrir framhaldsskóla fyrir árið 2011 og Evrópsku tungumálamöppuna. Niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar benda til þess að þörf sé á umtalsverðri nákvæmni og flæði í tungamálakunnáttu þegar kemur út í atvinnulífið. Þátttakendur hafa flestir gaman af því að skrifa á ensku en nefna skort á sjálfstæði og færni í sjálfsmati. Greininni lýkur með umfjöllun um þýðingu rannsóknarinnar fyrir enskunemendur og enskukennara.

English in 4th grade in Iceland. Motivation and Vocabulary Knowledge at the Onset of Formal English Instruction.
Ásrún Jóhannsdóttir, PhD Candidate at the University of Iceland. Department of foreign languages, literature and linguistics.
This study examines the effect increased exposure to English has on English proficiency levels, and children’s motivation for learning English at the beginning of formal instruction. оформление займов на банковскую карту The motivational survey and vocabulary testing took place in September to November of 2010. Results were extracted from data from 386 participants (192 girls and 194 boys) in 4th grade. Participants came from 12 schools from all corners of the country and represented students who began learning English at school in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade, as well as two class groups yet to receive formal instruction in English.
Students perceive that their need to use English will shift from TV/music and Computer media use to a more Educational and Need (travel, work) based use.
The increase in vocabulary size is very slight from earlier start of school instruction until between 3rd and 4th grade start.
There is a stronger relationship between current media use and students test scores than there is between student’s onset of instruction and test scores, which is very little. This suggests that the vocabulary is more strongly connected to other factors, such as media use, than the Educational environment and onset of formal instruction.
The results demonstrate that early starting age of students’ instructed learning does not necessarily predict how well they score on tests in grade 4, nor does it affect their predominantly positive attitude towards the language.
