Glossaire

Brief tour of the glossary

To help you make your way through this glossary, we propose a thematic entry point with concepts that support reflection. We show the various schools and the plurilingual and pluricultural dimensions of assessing home language competences. There is room for improvement in our selections. A wide range of issues are addressed in various fields of research and disciplines (language sciences, language didactics, educational sciences, sociology, psychology, etc.). We believe in a holistic (global), evolutionary approach which is rooted in diverse interacting environments and strives for greater equity (based on constructive interdependence). These environments include both the social and the cultural contexts.

Before you start reading:

The terms and definitions in the glossary are used in the Recolang project. The choices of definitions are sometimes based on different approaches. In what follows, you will find reference both to issues arising in classroom practice and scientific definitions related to these. The words are listed in alphabetical order, except in the case of ‘assessment’, where different kinds of assessment are grouped together.  The main references are listed in the bibliography.
