I am interested in researching on Problem-solving and language deficiency among second language students, mainly who recently migrated to Canada. The important reason that I am interested in this topic is that most of my students are second language learner who has difficulty in understanding mathematics especially world problems. I hope the results of this study brings a good understanding of these students and help them to overcome their problems.
Thanks Malihe. I would not use the word 'deficiency' as it has been discredited in Applied Linguistics and language education. Bilingualism/ multilingualism is seen as a greatly increased language competency -- quite the opposite of a deficiency! I can steer you to some good resources to explore this. You'll probably want to read the article on word problems in this week's readings in your group!
ReplyDeleteMalice, your topic and Tsubasa's seem to be very similar. Let's chat this evening about that, and I'm sure that the two of you can find different aspects to explore as part of this large question.
