En août 2018, je suis allée à un stage ouvert aux familles ayant des enfants malentendants organisé par l'ALPC (Association Suisse de la Langue parlée et complétée) avec mes enfants, car ma fille est malentendante. Normalement ces stages se déroulent sur une semaine. Mais une fois tous les deux ans, l’été, un stage complémentaire d’une semaine est offert aux familles qui souhaitent renforcer leurs connaissances pratiques de la langue LPC. Plus...
D’une part, il n’est pas toujours facile de faire la différence entre le futur (je serai) et le conditionnel (je serais) du point de vue du sens, notamment dans ce contexte. En effet, selon le linguiste Gustave Guillaume, futur et conditionnel appartiennent tous deux à l’époque du futur, mais le conditionnel serait un « futur hypothétique ». Le conditionnel peut donc permettre d’évoquer un procès possible dans le futur. Plus...
When you consider how children learn words, you might think of this kind of scenario: an adult points to an object (for example, a dog), clearly says a word in isolation (dog!), and the child immediately understands what the word means. More...
If you step into a classroom in South Africa’s Limpopo province during a lesson, you’re very likely to hear the teacher speaking more than one language. She might begin a sentence in English, and then switch to Sepedi – the African language most commonly spoken as a mother tongue in the province. More...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. George Siemens[Edit][Delete]: College Education Without Prospects, Elearnspace [Edit][Delete]ELearnSpace [Edit][Delete] December 6, 2006
George Siemens links to this unencouraging article from the New York Times (so it will disappear from view shortly) about schools in India. "A lack of communications skills may be the most obvious shortcoming, but it is not the only one. A deeper problem, specialists say, is a classroom environment that treats students like children even if they are in their mid-20's. Teaching emphasizes silent note-taking and discipline at the expense of analysis and debate." Of course, I take note of the source, and wonder just how accurate this account is, and whether it depends more on stereotypes than data. Not every school in India is perfect, to be sure, but I find it very hard to believe that the schools of an entire nation - especially one as resurgent as India - leaves its graduates unprepared for work. I am much less concerned than the Times, for example, about students being educated in languages other than English. More...
