Denne bog handler om glæden ved at skrive. Den er et alternativ til forestillingen om, at det nødvendigvis er et surt slid at skrive; at skrivning forudsætter lange, uforstyrrede tidsrum; og at skrivning er det, man gør til sidst for at præsentere, præstere og publicere. Skriv med glæde præsenterer indsigter fra skriveforskningen, fortællinger om at skrive og giver en lang række ideer til at skabe vaner og finde inspiration, så skrivning bliver en måde at tænke, lære og være i verden på. Den handler om at blive og være et skrivende menneske. Bogen henvender sig til studerende, til undervisere og konsulenter, der skal publicere fra forsknings- og udviklingsprojekter, og til forskere, som mangler energi i deres egen eller deres studerendes skrivning. Den er til dem, der gerne vil have mere lystbetonede og fleksible skriveprocesser og til dem, der skal hjælpe andre med at få det.

I dette hæfte, som introducerer til Skrivning og skriveundervisning (1.-6. klassetrin), demonstrerer Charlotte Reusch og Solveig Troelsen med udgangspunkt i forskningsbaseret viden om skrivedidaktik veje til god skriveundervisning og skriveudvikling. I hæftet lægges der vægt på at belyse skrivedidaktik ud fra primært to perspektiver. For det første giver hæftet læseren en forståelse af det at arbejde med elevens skriveudvikling set ud fra et elevperspektiv, fx elevens forsøg på at erobre skriftsproget og gøre det til et funktionelt kommunikationsmiddel med en klar hensigt og en veldefineret modtager. For det andet tager hæftet fat på de udfordringer, som læreren står over for i sin konkrete undervisning. Hvad skal en lærerstuderende i dansk vide og kunne for at kunne tilrettelægge hensigtsmæssige rammer om elevernes skrivning? Kapitlet forsøger at besvare de to centrale udfordringer gennem en afbalanceret forståelse af teori og praksis, så praktikeren oplever teorien som en nyttig forståelsesramme, idet begreber gøres praktisk anvendelige uden at give køb på den faglige og videnskabelige substans. Endelig præsenterer hæftet en model til analyse af elevernes tekster efterfulgt af eksemplariske tekstanalyser af forskellige genrer og en didaktisk model til lærerens planlægning af skriveundervisning. Der gives eksempler på opgaver, den studerende kan forfølge i praktik og bruge som studieopgaver. Hæftet er et særtryk af et kapitel fra serien Lærerprofiler i dansk. Serien, som omfatter tre bind, introducerer til det nye dansk fag i læreruddannelsen (2013), herunder de i alt otte kompetenceområder for hhv. 1.-6. klassetrin og 4.-10. klassetrin.

Dette nummer af Sprogforum om begyndersprog indeholder en række artikler som fra forskellige vinkler illustrerer, belyser og analyserer arbejdet med begyndersprog fra folkeskolens yngste elever til studerende på universitetet. Spørgsmålene, som tages op, er mange: Hvornår skal begyndersprog begynde? I 1., 3. eller 5. klasse? Hvordan skal vi undervise i begyndersprog? Hvilke materialer skal vi bruge, og hvilken rolle spiller læreren, eleven, sproget og konteksten? Bidragene i dette nummer af Sprogforum er meget forskellige, men udspringer alle af en fælles interesse for begyndersprog, pædagogik og sproglæring.Der ser ud til at være momentum for begyndersprog i Danmark ─ ikke mindst foranlediget af den nye skolereform som indebærer at eleverne i folkeskolen fra august skal starte tidligere med både engelsk, tysk og fransk. Det betyder, at man får yngre elever og nye sammenhænge i både social, kognitiv og emotionel forstand. Hermed vil der komme nye udfordringer i læreruddannelserne og i forhold til de kvalifikationer, lærerne skal have.Det drejer sig især om nye sproglige og pædagogiske udfordringer. Og måske også udfordringer af den gode slags, for med yngre børn er man nødt til at tænke kreativt og arbejde ud fra kommunikative principper; grammatik vil som udgangspunkt ikke være en farbar vej for at lære det nye sprog. Lærerne må tage sprogligt afsæt i det børnene interesserer sig for, det de ved noget om, og det de synes er sjovt, så de opretholder glæden ved at lære sprog.Læs engelske abstracts fra Beginner Language her.

En grundbog til arbejdet med faktiske tekster i undervisningsfaget dansk i læreruddannelsen og en inspirationsbog til alle, der interesserer sig for argumentation. Peter Fregerslev præsenterer en række sproglige analyseværktøjer og demonstrerer, hvordan et fokus på argumentation kan danne en rød tråd i arbejdet med faktiske tekster. Forfatteren introducerer til en kommunikativ didaktik, hvor undervisning bygges op i tæt samspil mellem receptive og produktive læringsformer, og hvor der er vægt på mundtlighed, skriftlighed og argumentationsanalyse. Argumentation og faktiske tekster kan anvendes inden for flere faglige moduler i læreruddannelsen. Således både lokale moduler om faktiske tekster og de nationale moduler Literacy og Multimodale tekster. Bogen retter sig umiddelbart mod læreruddannelsen, men kan også anvendes i mange andre uddannelser: på gymnasier, på journalistuddannelsen og inden for diverse universitetsuddannelser.
