Apprehension and motivation among adolescent dual language peers: perceptions and awareness about self-directed teaching and learning / Lisa Winstead
// Language and education 2013, Vol27, N.1 2013p. 1-21 English learners are given few opportunities to develop their oral language and be seen as language experts. Self-regulated dual language learning is an authentic approach to communicating in the target language that promotes basic interpersonal communication skills between foreign language and second language learners. This study examines how adolescent emergent English learners (ELs) and Spanish learners (SLs) self-regulated their language learning process in a dual language program. While there is a dearth of r esearch about this topic, there are a number of significant self-efficacy studies that show connections between motivation, confidence and language learning. This case study explores not only how adolescent ELs and SLs practice and teach language but also how they reflected upon this process. Findings from transcription and analysis of 18 language sessions reveal that students go through three specific stages (Language Apprehension, Language Initiation and Language Acquisition) when teaching and learning language, which serve as a theoretical model. It is a frame for situating their experiences and interactions as language learners and teachers

Children's vs. teachers’ and parents’ agency: a case of a Serbian-English bilingual preschool model / Danijela Prošić-Santovac, Danijela Radović
// Language, Culture and Curriculum Volume 31, 2018 - Issue 3 2018p. 289-302 This study investigated the agency of children, parents and teachers in a Serbian-English bilingual preschool. The focus was on uncovering the kind of agency each of these groups exercised in the process of language learning by examining the children's linguistic behaviour and the role that parents and teachers had in motivating children learning English as a foreign language. The results show that, within a model which relied on strict separation of languages, the children initiated communication with their L2 teacher mostly in their L1. Even when they faced a question in L2, the children answered both in L1 and L2, which shows the need for a different approach in teaching. On the other hand, the lack of teachers’ and parents’ agency in providing adaptations to the teaching model and promoting flexibility in the teaching process has been found to be caused by the strictly predefined applied model, with little room for modification. Thus, the needs of the learners could not be served fully, although both the teachers and the majority of parents used any opportunity to influence the language learning process by encouraging the children to learn a second language and by shaping their attitudes toward it.
