Título del seminario: Approaching Vocabulary in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning from a Cognitive Semantics Point of View: A Framework

Ponente: Anna Malena Pichler, estudiante de doctorado de la Technische Universität Berlin.

Resumen: In this seminar a PhD project at the intersection of foreign language learning and cognitive linguistics will be presented. With the beginning of the millennial, several studies are released that make use of cognitive linguistics in foreign language teaching. Many of these studies concentrate on grammatical aspects, and fewer deal with the lexicon. However, a respective approach has not yet been broadly applied to vocabulary teaching within foreign language teaching. Many studies in this area have proven that a Cognitive Linguistics approach can be effective but there seems to be a lack of theoretical foundation that leads to an effective application in practice. The presented project starts at this intersection and aims to develop a didactic model that brings together theories of cognitive semantics and didactic principles in order to account for a comprehensive approach to vocabulary teaching. In doing so, respective theories of Cognitive Semantics will be examined regarding their possible applicability for language teaching. Furthermore, current methods and research regarding vocabulary teaching will be examined in order to explore possible connection points.
