Forthcoming presentation "Bilingual Perspectives on Language Teaching: The View from the Goal" at the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT) Osaka Chapter Back to School conference on April 23, 2023; event details will be updated at http://www.osakajalt.org

ABSTRACT: A goal for language learners is to function in plural languages according to their own purposes. A bilingual perspective starts from that attainable goal. Learners tend to idealize L2 mastery or becoming bilingual, so it becomes other people’s business. Monolingual teachers tell students by their example, “go where I have not gone,” whereas a bilingual teacher says, “come to my state of functioning.” This presentation details a paradigm shift from the predominant monolingual second language acquisition (SLA) paradigm to a developmental bilingual perspective.

Similar to this clever tee shirt:

"a monolingual foreign language teacher tells you in effect to 'go where I have not gone,' whereas a bilingual teacher tells you with his or her example, 'come to the state of functioning that I represent'"

In reference to #translanguaging, five days ago I showed slides suggesting a paradigm shift in #LanguageEducation to a developmental #bilingual perspective. The presentation https://www.academia.edu/71334694/Bilingualism_for_the_Individual_Family_and_Society it came from certainly needs to be divided into more digestible parts. Here are slides charting issues at the individual, family, and societal level of #bilingualism.
Although I have been through all this in #Japan, see if it does not apply elsewhere with international families, #multilingualism and #multiculturalism. Let us know.

Excited to read this new book to inform my #teachingpractice and #research for my #practicaldissertation #neverstoplearning #langchat #languageeducation

Regarding #translanguaging vs. code-switching between languages, Rafi Saleh in Bangladesh, who did his PhD in Australia on translanguaging, informed me: "According to code-switching theorists, a bilingual has two linguistic systems, whereas a monolingual has one. For translanguaging theorists, both bilingual and monolingual people have one linguistic system, but bilingual people's systems are more complex, and they learn to divide the system into two for external forces rather than linguistic reasons."
This accords with my view of always-on bilingual mode. The pictures show my proposed paradigm shift from a conventional #ForeignLanguageTeaching model to a #developmental #bilingual perspective.

I've set up @Bilingualism for teachers or researchers of plural #languages at levels of the #individual (#bilingual development), #family (bilingual child-raising & #biculturalism), society (a country's language #communities & policies), or #schools (bilingual or #international #education, Second or #ForeignLanguageTeaching teaching).

NEW short, illustrated article on my concept of #career tapering for the #Japan Association for #Language Teaching @jalt - "Lifelong Learning and Retiring Retirement Stereotypes."
Most #employed residents of Japan & many other countries will be unable or unwilling to #retire. If forced out by #ageism, stereotypical dismissiveness towards older people & sudden loss of #status can be vertiginous. Yet there is great demand for our services, e.g., in #internationaleducation. I counter #stereotypes of tapering off or career decline & instead offer a positive vision of #ActiveAgeing. There are suggestions to enjoy a better #qualityoflife than ever, with more time to create & #curate. #LifelongLearning can accord with lifelong interests.
