    Constructing a bilingual French-English habitus through language experience: a socialisation account from children attending a bilingual programme at a state school in France
    (Routledge, 2023-06-11) Ghimenton, A.; Cohen, C.; Minniear, Jacob Neal
    We investigate bilingual habitus and socialisation in 49 French-English bilinguals (aged 5;9–11;00) attending a French school with a bilingual programme in France, from three family profiles: two Anglophone parents (EE); one Anglophone and one Francophone parent (EF); two Francophone parents (FF). Data come from parent questionnaires and child and parent interviews. Quantitative analyses explored current declared language practices between children and mothers, fathers, siblings and peers in each profile. Qualitative analyses of one representative sample case per profile honed the socialisation trajectories from birth. Findings showed that international mobility impacted the relation between language and place in the three profiles differentially, yet all valued English maintenance. Moreover, the language which felt ‘natural’ contrasted in EE and FF families. Using French at home felt unnatural for EE parents whilst for FF parents, using English in family interactions felt natural and necessary for family socialisation in the Anglophone host country. We analyse the factors accounting for children’s bilingual habitus and question the contribution of English prestige, children’s school and families’ strong affective attachment to English as a heritage language or a language acquired through mobility. New insights into the complexity of bilingual habitus and socialisation are discussed within the French school system.

    Exploring how language exposure shapes oral narrative skills in French-English emergent bilingual first graders
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-06) Cohen, C.; Bauer, E.; Minniear, Jacob
    This study explores how language exposure may shape oral narrative skills in three first grade French-English emergent bilinguals attending an international programme at a state school in France. The students come from three different home language backgrounds (English dominant; French dominant; both French and English). Parent questionnaires provide information on current and cumulative exposure and home literacy practices. Spontaneous oral narratives are elicited in French and English. Microstructure, macrostructure, and narrative quality analyses show that while one language may appear to be dominant, notably for certain microstructure skills, performance in other areas may be superior in the other language. The study highlights how different actors’ agency (children, parents, siblings, teachers) may contribute to language learning trajectories and outcomes, steering dual language acquisition. For teachers, the study reiterates the complexity of language learning and the need to diversify activities to ensure that students are processing and producing language appropriately.

    (Bilkent University, 2020) Sevim, Nurefşan; Uzunlar, Rana; Ramazanoğlu, Deniz; Dalkılıç, Ekin; Yöntem, Elif
    Ramazanoğlu ailesi, Anadolu beyliklerinden Ramazanoğlu Beyliği'ni Adana ve çevresinde kuran Ramazanoğullarından gelmektedir ve Adana'nın en köklü ailelerinden biridir. Aile üyeleri tarihleri boyunca Adana'da yönetimde, eğitimde ve birçok alanda önemli rolleri üstlenmiş ve şehre çokça katkı sağlamışlardır. Bu çalışma, Kurtuluş Savaşı'nda Adana'nın durumuna ve Ramazanoğlu ailesinin milli müdafaaya olan katkılarının üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. I. Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra Adana Anadolu'da İtilaf devletleri tarafından işgal edilen ilk şehirlerden olmuştur. Bu araştırma Adana'nın Kurtuluş Savaşı sırasında Fransızlar ile olan mücadelesinde Ramazanoğlu ailesinin üyelerinin gösterdiği fedakarlıkları ve katkıları incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

    Reserve interlanguage transfer : the effects of L3 Italian & L3 French on L2 English pronoun use
    (2012) Aysan, Zeynep
    This study focuses on the reverse interlanguage transfer by examining the effects of the L3 Italian and L3 French on the L2 English subject pronoun use as well as the effects of referentiality. The participants were 60 tertiary level students studying at Ankara University English Preparation School, Italian Language and Literature Department and French Language and Literature Department. There was one control group that includes native speakers of Turkish with intermediate level L2 English and two experimental groups that includes native speakers of Turkish with intermediate level L2 English and advanced level Italian or French. Firstly, an English proficiency test was administered to make sure that all the participants have the same level of English proficiency. Secondly, a Grammaticality Judgment Test (GJT), in which the participants were expected to read each sentence and judge its grammaticality in terms of subject pronoun use, was conducted in all the three groups. Lastly, the three groups’ mean scores and scores in referentiality contexts were compared. The findings of overall mean scores indicated that Italian language group, which is one of the experimental groups, scored lower than both the other experimental group (French) and the control group (English). This finding suggests that there is an L3 Italian influence on the participants’ use of L2 English subject pronouns. However, the mean score difference within each language group is not statistically significant in terms of referentiality although there is a statistically significant difference between the language groups in the same and different subject pronoun contexts. Considering that forward transfer is the norm in the language transfer area, this study has filled the gap in the literature on reverse interlanguage transfer, specifically focusing on transfer from L3 to L2. Lastly, the present study offers some pedagogical implications that can benefit especially EFL and any language teachers so that they can teach multilinguals accordingly.
