Grand Corps Malade - Je Viens De Là Lyrics - 0 views

  •  
    "On peut pas vraiment dire qu'on choisit son lieu de naissance Ce que vont découvrir petit à petit les cinq sens Moi, un jour mes parents ont posé leurs valises, alors voilà Ce sont ces trottoirs qu'ont vu mes premiers pas Je viens de là où les mecs traînent en bande pour tromper l'ennui Je viens de là où, en bas, ça joue au foot au milieu de la nuit Je viens de là où on fait attention à la marque de ses textiles Et même si on les achète au marché, on plaisante pas avec le style Je viens de là où le langage est en permanente évolution Verlan, rebeu, argot, gros processus de création Chez nous, les chercheurs, les linguistes viennent prendre des rendez-vous On n'a pas tout le temps le même dictionnaire mais on a plus de mots que vous Je viens de là où les jeunes ont tous une maîtrise de vannes Un D.E.A. de chambrettes, une répartie jamais en panne Intelligence de la rue, de la démerde ou du quotidien Appelle ça comme tu veux mais pour nous carotter, tiens-toi bien On jure sur la tête de sa mère à l'âge de neuf ans On a l'insulte facile mais un vocabulaire innovant Je viens de là où, dans les premières soirées, ça danse déjà le break Je viens de là où nos premiers rendez-vous se passent autour d'un grec Je viens de là où on aime le rap, cette musique qui transpire Qui sent le vrai, qui transmet, qui témoigne, qui respire Je viens de là où y a du gros son et pas mal de rimes amères Je viens de là où ça choque personne qu'un groupe s'appelle "Nique Ta Mère" Je viens de là et je kiffe ça, malgré tout ce qu'on en pense A chacun son territoire, à chacun sa France Si j' rends hommage à ces lieux, à chaque expiration C'est qu' c'est ici qu' j'ai puisé toute mon inspiration Je viens de là et je kiffe ça, malgré tout ce qu'on en pense A chacun son territoire, à chacun sa France Si j' rends hommage à ces lieux, à chaque expiration C'e

How Global Language Learning Gives Students the Edge | Edutopia - 9 views

  •  
    In fact, some of the greatest obstacles to world-language education are parents who recall their own miserable experiences. Many Americans were introduced to foreign languages in middle school or high school classes that emphasized conjugation of verbs and other dull grammatical tasks rather than relevant communication skills. "Language teaching in the U.S. has been ineffective," Stewart says. "We start it at the wrong age. Teacher skills are not great. There's a focus on grammar and translation." The result: "Adults who took three years of French don't speak a word," she states.\nBut the trend toward competency and away from conjugation is helping create a new generation of language learners, one that gains real-world skills with many practical applications.

    the key here lies in the paragraph I clipped: the focus should be on competency rather than on conjugation.

The 10 Best Free Spanish Websites for Kids - 19 views

  •  
    Hi I'm Miriam Ramos Warth. I have taught Spanish for many years. In all this years I've heard parents asking: How can my child practice more Spanish at home? How can I help? Etc... The Internet has many free Spanish resources for parents and teachers but to find the right activity, game or song it's sometimes a bit of a challenge and time consuming. I want to share some websites that I think are age appropriate and with good content to help children to practice Spanish at home.

Improving Writing - 7 views

  •  
    "Writing is vital to most examples of learning. It is how civilisation conveys information from generation to generation, it is how parents often communicate their needs and fears for their children as notes to the teacher, and it is how little Johnny/Jane tells you about what their cat and/or dog did at the weekend. Some people love writing, while others struggle with it, but everyone has to write to some degree in their daily lives, and all of this stems from their experiences in the classroom."

Au moment d'entrer au CP - 2 views

  • C’est la rentrée. Beaucoup d’enfants vont prendre le chemin de l’école pour faire leur Cours préparatoire et rentrer ainsi dans l’apprentissage de la lecture. Il est prévu que celui-ci dure plusieurs années, et les parents doivent savoir que leurs enfants ne sont pas pressés. Pour autant, certains ont le désir de les aider. Ils ont raison, car ainsi les enfants seront plus rassurés quand ils seront à l’école, au milieu de leurs camarades. Mais aussi parce que l’apprentissage de la lecture est une expérience parmi les plus importantes que l’on fait dans sa vie, et qu’il serait dommage de ne pas la partager à l’intérieur du cercle familial.

Education Week: Science Grows on Acquiring New Language - 6 views

  • For example, when babies born to native-English-speaking parents played three times a week during that window with a native-Mandarin-speaking tutor, at 12 months, they had progressed in their ability to recognize both English and Mandarin sounds, rather than starting to retrench in the non-native language. By contrast, children exposed only to audio or video recordings of native speakers showed no change in their language trajectory. Brain-imaging of the same children backed up the results of test-based measures of language specialization.
  • The research may not immediately translate into a new language arts curriculum, but it has already deepened the evidence for something most educators believe instinctively: Social engagement, particularly with speakers of multiple languages, is critical to language learning.
  • “The key to that series of studies is exposure and live interactions with native speakers,” Ms. Lebedeva said. “The interactions need to be naturalistic: eye contact, gestures, exaggerated phonemes.”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • “Human brains are wired to learn best in social interactions, whether that learning is about language or problem-solving or emotion,” Ms. Lebedeva said, “but language is such a ubiquitous human behavior that studying it gives us an example of how more general learning takes place.”
  • at the science-oriented Ultimate Block Party held in New York City this month, children of different backgrounds played games in which they were required to sort toys either by shape or color, based on a rule indicated by changing flashcards. A child sorting blue and yellow ducks and trucks by shape, say, might suddenly have to switch to sorting them by color. The field games exemplified research findings that bilingual children have greater cognitive flexibility than monolingual children. That is, they can adapt better than monolingual children to changes in rules—What criteria do I use to sort?—and close out mental distractions—It doesn’t matter that some blue items are ducks and some are trucks.

    researchers long thought the window for learning a new language shrinks rapidly after age 7 and closes almost entirely after puberty. Yet interdisciplinary research conducted over the past five years at the University of Washington, Pennsylvania State University, and other colleges suggest that the time frame may be more flexible than first thought and that students who learn additional languages become more adaptable in other types of learning, too.
