| Abstract(in English) | The essence of linguistic communication lies in "exchange of meanings" and "meaningful exchanges of messages." In recent years, approaches to language learning such as EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) / CBI (Content-Based Instruction) / CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) are being emphasized. We know, from personal and institutional experiences, that academic activities such as listening to lectures and talks, preparing and giving formal presentation, engaging in discussions and debates, writing essays, academic reports and technical papers lead to enhancing English proficiency and enriching knowledge of language on the part of each learner, but it is not obvious how such learning is achieved in terms of interactions between tacit knowledge of language and its real-time execution in human cognitive capacity. Specifically, knowledge of “grammar” and “vocabulary” and formalized in constraint-based symbolic declarative systems in terms of feature structures that define syntactic categories and are assigned to each lexical item. Despite efforts in usage-based construction grammar by Adel Goldberg and others and cognitive and computational approaches such as P-chain by Franklin Chang and others are promising, there remains room for questions how associative and incidental acquisition of lexical and grammatical knowledge presupposed in EMI / CBI / CLIL and study abroad programs can be possible in real-time. In this presentation, we discuss some of the issues not properly addressed in theoretical terms so far. |
