Research in Mother Tongue Didactics
Abstract
This article presents a review of the projection of the best research options in analyzing the educational space for first and foreign languages investigation. That space, less and less differentiated and modified by concepts such as multilingual education or multilingual competence, has entered into an interesting methodological and conceptual intersection in which not only L1 but also L2 and FL training assumptions come into play, following the indications of the EC documents. The development of concepts such as new skills, multilingualism, integrated content and language teaching, reflective teacher thinking, etc, heads towards a convergence with framework approaches favored by constructivist orientations. Methodology makes it possible for educational research to emerge from the classroom by using
ethnographic as well as participant observation and action research proposals “a quiet methodological revolution” according to Denzin and Lincoln (1998).
