Bokhorst-Heng, Wendy D.; Marshall, Kelle L. – L2 Journal, 2020
French immersion (FI), one of the hallmarks of French as a Second Language education in Canada and mandated in New Brunswick, Canada's only officially English/French bilingual province, is often the target of language ideological debates surrounding its purposes and expected outcomes. Yet, notably absent in FI scholarship has been a focus on the…

Bellezza, Annamaria – L2 Journal, 2020
Teaching performatively is an art that must be honed and developed through sustained practice. In this paper, I explore the theoretical considerations of a "performative-humanistic" approach to second language acquisition and the practical applications for a performance-based pedagogy, which is meant to offer readers an occasion to…

Blake, Robert J. – L2 Journal, 2020
L2 lexical studies have established that learners need to acquire knowledge of the first 3,000 most frequent words in order to enjoy 95% coverage of the vocabulary used in spontaneous speech (Nation 2006). However, there has been little data available that reveal how many of these most frequent words can be recognized by university language…

Baggett, Hannah Carson – L2 Journal, 2020
Critical pedagogical work hinges upon teachers' critical consciousness about students' identities that constitute 'diversity' and how they are situated within systems of oppression and privilege. In this study, survey data were collected from practicing world language teachers' (WLTs) to explore their beliefs about the extent to which dimensions…

Caldas, Blanca – L2 Journal, 2020
Freire (2005) encourages people to take "critical ownership of the formation of ourselves" (p. 44) in order to be able to act upon the world in what he (1993) calls "praxis." This praxis consists of the development of critical consciousness leading to transformative action. Critical consciousness and praxis should be conceived…

Glynn, Cassandra; Spenader, Allison – L2 Journal, 2020
This interpretive multiple-case study examines the practices and perspectives of four mid-level and secondary world language teachers in diverse teaching contexts as they design and implement critical content-based instruction units in their classes. Knowing that content can be defined as either cultural or academic content (Spenader, Wesely,…

Mitsikopoulou, Bessie – L2 Journal, 2020
This paper focuses on critical pedagogy and EFL teacher education and it argues that it would be unrealistic to expect students who have been educated through traditional university curricula (aiming to deliver content through a 'banking model') to become critical foreign language teachers and educators. The education of future teachers requires…

Yang, Shizhou – L2 Journal, 2020
Although critical pedagogy has been widely discussed in the Americas, little research has been done to recontextualize it in foreign language (FL) writing and explore its actual impact on the learners' sense of self. Hence, I consider in this article the possibility of transforming FL writing education by using a reconceptualized critical…

Echeverri-Sucerquia, Paula Andrea – L2 Journal, 2020
Colombia, as other Latin American countries, has not been indifferent to the power of English as the language of business, international communication and academia. Since the end of the 20th century, there has been a great push in the country to promote the teaching of English: language policies have been formulated, ideal levels of proficiency…

de Urzeda Freitas, Marco Túlio; Pessoa, Rosane Rocha – L2 Journal, 2020
In this article we draw on the praxiological framework of disinvention and reconstitution of language(s) to problematize the concept of communication in language education. Considering the fact that the concept of language as an instrument of communication was a metadiscursive regime used to (re)invent language as an isolated and unproblematic…

There is growing interest in including service-learning courses in higher education, and abundant literature exists on this subject. Less researched is binomial service learning, specifically related to civic learning and legal translation.

Heidenfeldt, William – L2 Journal, 2020
In this article, I examine two focal students of L2 French whose curiosity and embodied learning inspired me to rethink my teaching about personal gender expression and grammatical gender and to develop curricular innovations that would open up pathways for self-expression in the L2 French classroom.

Nee, Julia – L2 Journal, 2020
In this paper, I examine the development, implementation, and results of utilizing three types of storybooks in a language revitalization classroom for students ages 5-12 learning Teotitlán del Valle Zapotec, an indigenous language of southern Mexico. Although each method used for creating books in Zapotec generated a positive reaction from…

Fichtner, Friederike – L2 Journal, 2020
From early in their learning experience, foreign language (FL) learners at American universities explore socio-cultural connotations that, it is argued, are signified by FL words. Textbook authors and teachers follow an implicit canon of difference, a list of iconic words that over time--and without the benefit of empirical evidence--have come to…
