Depth Study

The article considers the relevance and importance of the formation of sociocultural competence in modern educational practice. It is shown that in order to create a more tolerant and cultural oriented society, as well as successful socialization of young people, high-school’s foreign language teachers need to create a positive ethno-linguistic and ethno-psychological cultural atmosphere in the classroom, that leads young minds to tolerant and healthy behavior towards other cultures and nations, which is one of the most important aspects of education in the context of modern and comprehensive globalization. The formation of sociocultural competence as a component of the communicative competence of schoolchildren is considered and examples of its successful formation in high school with in-depth study of the English language are given.

Exchange Programs

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the self-perceived influence of short-term exchanges in schools abroad on future foreign language teacher’s professionalization, regarding professional values and pedagogy and practice. It grasps students’ changes in the perception of values attached to short-term exchanges in a professional setting. Design/methodology/approach In the scope of the European project SPIRAL, four prospective foreign language teachers attended a two-week internship at schools in another country. This paper explores, resorting to a combined content and discourse analysis, their letters of motivation (two months before the exchange), emails sent individually to the local coordinator (one week after the arrival) and a focus-group interview (two months after the arrival). Findings Future foreign language teachers change their focus when referring to the values attached to their experiences at schools abroad: from an initial focus on language skills improvement, they come to value the intercultural pedagogic experience they lived, focusing on differences and similarities between professional values and pedagogical practices across the contexts. Practical implications A generalized introduction of professional exchange programs, both in pre-service and continuing teacher education, could improve teachers’ perceptions of global structural, educational, political and curricular contexts and demands. It would also help the teachers decenter from educational practices and professional habitus taken for granted, and raise their awareness of what it means to be educated and professionalized in other contexts. Originality/value Few studies have focused on short-term exchanges and their impact on teachers’ professional development. The present paper highlights the pedagogical, intercultural and identity-building potential of short-term exchanges in foreign language teacher education.

Foreign language teachers contend that children learn a new language more readily than adults. Could this be true of mathematics and its language?
