The Multicompetences of the Biligual Mind
The study aims to move beyond description to an action research methodology which is clearly grounded in practice and informed by theory. By presenting examples cross linguistically from several different contexts about how language is created in our imperfect, but highly functional bilingual brains, the discussion will challenge listeners to think not only about their message, but how that message is encoded and decodedUniversidad de MĂĄlaga.

Tapping into the intellectual capital at the University
Abstract
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is as full of challenges as it is of possibilities. We will explore the
challenges while seeking realistic solutions as eight Computer Science professors teach their subjects through English for the
first time. We hope to gain insights into the bilingual classroom at the university level where teacher training can aid in
professional development. Kevin Haines (2017) has posed the question about policies, principles and practice in bilingual
settings, suggesting that we still need to address the challenging question: âwho will support the teachers?â.
In this paper we will observe problems and solutions to bilingual teaching from the ethnographic point of view of action
research. This is a collaborative project that brings CLIL methodology into the content classroom and assesses teacher
performance in order for university professors to see CLIL in practice. This article is an overview of CLIL practicum where
teachers move from theory to practice in a purposeful intent to improve instruction in a second language. In this project the
interaction is based on the multiple perspectives of computer science professors, a CLIL specialist as well as opinions from
students. It is with these multiple perspectives that we have put our in-service training into action.
Many university professors outside foreign language areas need more in-service training to face the challenges
underlying teaching through a second language. Our motivation leads us to these three proposals action research, teacher
training and qualitative assessment of the CLIL experience. We hold that research in education must make the move toward a
more qualitative assessment. As researchers, perhaps we need to describe less and do more by putting our research into
action.Universidad de MĂĄlaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech

Jazz in British new wave cinema - An interview with Sir John Dankworth
Sir John Dankworth, the eminent English composer, conductor, bandleader and jazz musician has written in many genres, including composing over 20 film scores. Of these, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), The Criminal (1960), The Servant (1963) and Darling (1965) in particular, played a major role in bringing about a new sound in British film during the 1960s. This interview explores Sir John Dankworth's contribution to this innovative Film genre through his jazz-influenced musical scores

Using miscommunication to discuss communication
The main objective of this study is to delve into a cross-cultural communicative context. There is something uniquely human about the evolution of knowledge though communication. While this is seemingly a universal concept, our focus will move from what is universal about communication to what is distinctly unique about the way English and Spanish differ in similar contexts. What happens when there is a discursive clash between the languages?The main objective of this study is to delve into a cross-cultural communicative context.

While this is seemingly a universal concept, our focus will move from what is universal about communication to what is distinctly unique about the way English and Spanish differ in similar contexts. What happens when there is a discursive clash between the languages?
The underlying theories will uncover some of the main ingredients to proper discourse. Griceâs cooperative principle will play a role as will the more cognitive roles regarding the relation between discourse and memory (Braddeley, 2007). Discourse analysts study larger chunks of language as they flow together (Tannen, 2012). So ultimately, this model will frame the relation between discourse and interaction in bilingual settings, such as diplomatic circles, international business, and bilingual university classrooms, to name a few.
The study aims to move beyond description to an action research methodology which is clearly grounded in practice and informed by theory. By presenting examples cross linguistically from several different contexts about how language is created in our imperfect, but highly functional bilingual brains, the discussion will challenge listeners to think not only about their message, but how that message is encoded and decoded. In the case of this demonstration, we hope to illustrate how many things we take for granted when communicating in a second language, in order to shed some light on how language shapes the way we communicate.
This approach has been used in several communicative strategy workshops given to non-linguists who wanted to anticipate their miscommunication in order to improve. Effective communication is putting an idea into someone elseâs head, or conversely, it is each individualâs ability to capture an idea. In the globalized world today, this interactivity is key.Plan Propio de InvestigaciĂłn de la UMA, Grupo Consolidado LingĂŒĂstica y Lenguas Aplicadas, (HUM 842), Junta de AndalucĂa.// Universidad de MĂĄlaga.
