GSICCS | Directed Research and Faculty Members17Study planLanguage and Communication Second Language EducationDETEY, SylvainPh.D. & Habilitation in Language Sciences (University of Toulouse II, France)RESEARCH FIELD:Applied Linguistics (SLA, socio-psycholinguistics, corpus phonology, L2 French)My supervision aims at nurturing young researchers and university-level teachers specializing in the eld of Second Language Acquisition / Second Language Education, with a particular focus on speech perception-production, variation, corpora and multimodality. Students may join some of the research projects I am currently involved in, especially about corpus (inter)phonology (L1 and L2 French, but also L2 English, L2 Japanese, L2 Chinese, etc.) and computer-assisted pronunciation training programs. The objective of the course is to offer an advanced comprehensive view of the core framework of the discipline, examining the linguistic, sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic and pedagogical aspects that must necessarily be taken into account in any research project devoted to second language learning. The focus is set on specic research issues and projects from which students can draw academic knowledge and methodological insights connected to their own research objectives. Some of my current academic research interests are: 1) Input and L2 speech learning; 2) Norms and variation in L2 speech learning; 3) French linguistic educational policies; 4) Plurilingualism and internationalization in higher education; 5) Japanese contrastive pragmatics; 6) Communicative handicap.Language and SocietyIINO, MasakazuPh.D. in Sociolinguistics (University of Pennsylvania) RESEARCH FIELD:Sociolinguistics, Language Policy and Language PlanningSpeech Communication and Language AcquisitionKONDO, MarikoPh.D. in Linguistics (Phonetics) (University of Edinburgh)RESEARCH FIELD:Phonetics, Phonology, Language Acquisition, Speech ScienceSociolinguistics is a eld of linguistics which examines the complex relationship between language and society, as they mutually inuence each other. Topics covered include language and power, thought and representation, ethnography of speaking, language and gender, language change, regional and societal variation, multilingualism, language attitudes as well as language policy and language planning issues. The seminar focuses mainly on the macro sociolinguistic studies to critically examine contemporary issues on language policy and language planning from around the world. The goal of this seminar is to provide an opportunity to conduct an original research project and to complete an M.A. thesis or a Ph.D. dissertation written in English in the eld of macro or micro sociolinguistics. Students are expected to keep up with the assigned readings, to actively participate in seminar discussions, to complete a research project, to write a thesis, and to make an oral presentation on their research. Collaborated research activities with partner institutions, presentations at relevant academic conferences, and publications are also encouraged. Courses offered in GSICCS such as Language Policy and Language Planning, and Language and Society are recommended for participants in this seminar. This seminar will focus on theories and application of speech communication science and language acquisition. There is a strong focus on experimental studies of phonetics and phonology, but it also covers other linguistic areas such as psycholinguistics, pragmatics, corpus linguistics, application of linguistic and acquisition theories for education. Student research areas include, but are not limited to, phonetics, phonology, pragmatics, interface between phonetics-phonology and pragmatics-phonology, and language acquisition of various combinations of rst and second (+) languages; examples of languages studied by current and past students include Chinese, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese. We will seek interdisciplinary approaches to build up research potentials. In the seminar, students will read and discuss relevant journal articles. In addition, students will learn the practical and analytical skills they need to conduct their research as well as techniques to analyse the data they collect. Students are encouraged to conduct their own research and present regular work-in-progress reports of their research in the seminar. They are also encouraged to participate in internal and external research seminars and conferences, where they can present their research outcomes. There are also various ongoing research projects, so students may have opportunities to help with these projects. ProfessorProfessorProfessor
