New publication: "Interview with Steve McCarty" [on his professorial accomplishments in Japan].

The College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching has honored me with their second annual Veteran Teacher Voices interview on my teaching career in Japan. I critique the foreign language teaching profession, discuss future trends of increasing foreigners in Japan, the need for English, and long-term effects of AI on language acquisition.

I believe educationalists will find this article interesting: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386424805

Regarding #translanguaging vs. code-switching between languages, Rafi Saleh in Bangladesh, who did his PhD in Australia on translanguaging, informed me: "According to code-switching theorists, a bilingual has two linguistic systems, whereas a monolingual has one. For translanguaging theorists, both bilingual and monolingual people have one linguistic system, but bilingual people's systems are more complex, and they learn to divide the system into two for external forces rather than linguistic reasons."
This accords with my view of always-on bilingual mode. The pictures show my proposed paradigm shift from a conventional #ForeignLanguageTeaching model to a #developmental #bilingual perspective.

@linguistics @edutooter

I've set up @Bilingualism for teachers or researchers of plural #languages at levels of the #individual (#bilingual development), #family (bilingual child-raising & #biculturalism), society (a country's language #communities & policies), or #schools (bilingual or #international #education, Second or #ForeignLanguageTeaching teaching).

If you follow it like you follow a person, you can get posts with @Bilingualism in them, or share messages with the group.
