Anatomy of a language and culture
Anatomy of a language and culture
During Tempo course workshops, students will be actors in their learning, in a multilingual setting.
During the Licence+ course workshops, students will be able to:
-
develop their ability to work in groups,
-
value the skills and knowledge acquired in class,
-
discover an innovative and participative pedagogy.
workshops are a place for discovery and creation, around a common project. Sharing knowledge and helping each other are essential to succeeding together, and are the strengths of the Licence+, Tempo pathway to success.
Workshop "Anatomy of a language and culture:
The aim of this workshop is to get students to ask questions about languages, cultural systems and the relationship they have with the world and our society.
The teacher takes charge of creating a framework conducive to debate, in which students can share their points of view, open up to other cultures present at Inalco and take initiatives that lead to the development of joint projects such as, the comparative study of dialects of a language or an interactive linguistic research game called Cosmo, etc..
They develop their ability to work in groups, while showcasing the skills and knowledge they have acquired. These workshops are an opportunity for students to discover new learning frameworks and forms, in which they are the main players.
Mandatory workshop. Validation is only obtained by VAL (=Validated) and NVAL (=Non Validated).
Selection of projects carried out by students during the workshop in 2020-2021:
Episode #1:Meeting the Nishis. Carnet de voyage à Nishido
Episode #3: Ki Me Yon Ya We Yanga Eee [You'd be mine today!] - Tale in pictograms
Language game created by L1+/Tempo students: "L'incroyable voyage de Cosmo"
In this video, Camille Simon, teacher of Tibetan at Inalco, and student Soundarya Muthukumaran present the project created during the workshop: a language game based around the comparison of different languages.
Created over the course of the workshop sessions, the game, entitled "Cosmo's Incredible Journey", sees the player take on the role of Cosmo, an alien whose spaceship has crashed in Paris: he must then learn to communicate with the inhabitants of Earth. In order to gather the parts he needs to repair his spaceship, Cosmo must interact with people of different languages and cultures.
You can try it! http://https://moodleform.inalco.fr/course/view.php?id=4597 It can be accessed directly by Inalco students who have a Moodle account and by people not registered at Inalco
To design this game, students presented the main characteristics of their mother tongue and specialty language to Inalco from which they then developed questions. The answers to these questions and the accompanying explanations provided an opportunity for the students to engage in metalinguistic reflection. During the design of this game, various aspects of linguistics, such as lexicon, grammar, phonological and morphological systems etc. were therefore tackled in a playful way.
