Resumen:

This study examines adapted Focus on Form (FonF) versus mixed Focus-on-Forms (FonFs) for teaching Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) to Chinese university students. The adapted FonF integrated guided inductive noticing (via minimal pairs), staggered rule introduction, and multimodal input, whereas the mixed FonFs condition combined explicit rule explanation and practice in a present-practice-produce sequence. Both approaches incorporated communicative activities. Using a quasi-experimental design, 62 intermediate learners received 15 hours of online instruction. Pre- and post-tests targeted tense–aspect (TA) as the primary domain, with nominal agreement (NA) and embedded clauses (EC) included as reference domains. Pre-test TA accuracy was controlled as a covariate in linear mixed-effects models. The adapted FonF group achieved...

Resumen:

This paper explores the potential of studies on instructed second language acquisition to inform pedagogical practices for L2 teaching. It focuses on instructional-effect studies published between 2000 and 2024 that examined the acquisition of perfective and imperfective past tense in L2 Spanish, French, and Catalan. Eleven studies were selected based on pretest-posttest designs and evidence of interlanguage development in past morphology. Key findings indicate that perfective forms are typically acquired earlier and more robustly than imperfective forms, regardless of instructional approach or language. The analysis reveals consistent acquisition patterns, suggesting that effective teaching practices can be derived from these studies. Pedagogical implications emphasize the importance of targeted instruction, exposure to both...

Es bien conocida la dificultad que supone el aprendizaje de la morfología temporoaspectual en español como L2, hecho que ha llevado tanto a investigadores en adquisición de segundas lenguas (ASL) como a expertos en didáctica de lenguas extranjeras a trabajar en este asunto durante las últimas décadas, todos ellos guiados por los avances de las diferentes corrientes de la lingüística teórica. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el estado de la cuestión de la relación entre la investigación en ASL y la didáctica del español en materia de morfología temporoaspectual. Para ello se hará primero una breve revisión de tiempo y aspecto, después, se hará una revisión de los hallazgos hechos por la investigación de la adquisición de...

Resumen:

This article examines the relationships between second language acquisition (SLA), instructed second language acquisition (ISLA), and language teaching by examining them from the lens of the research on the acquisition and teaching of second language (L2) tense-aspect in the last 20 years (2000?2021). Review 1 examines 56 instructional effect studies on the acquisition of L2 tense-aspect, and Review 2 examines 38 pedagogical proposals for the teaching of L2 tense-aspect. The reviews investigate to what extent instructional effect studies and pedagogical proposals with tense-aspect as the target of investigation and instruction (a) provide a linguistic description of the instructional target, (b) engage with previous research, (c) implement results from previous research to design assessment or instruction, and (d) include elaborate...
