There has been little research investigating the effects of notetaking on foreign language (FL) learning, and no studies have examined how it affects vocabulary learning. The present study investigated the vocabulary written in notes of 86 students after they had listened to a teacher in an English as a foreign language (EFL) class. The results showed that 51.2% of participants took notes, and 32.6% wrote information about target words in notes. However, there were only 95 instances of information written about the 28 target words. The results revealed that the odds of vocabulary learning were 15 and 10 times higher in the immediate and delayed posttests for target words that were written in notes. The analysis also indicated that the use of first language (L1) translation in teacher speech increased the chances that target words were written in notes, and that writing words in notes was the most effective predictor of learning.

This study examines whether second-language instructors of Spanish overuse subject personal pronouns (SPPs) to facilitate communication with their English-speaking students, which would be a form of teacher talk. Ten native Spanish-speaking language instructors were recorded in two speech contexts: teaching a third-semester Spanish class to native English-speaking learners and talking with another native Spanish speaker. Logistic regression analyses using GoldVarb revealed that SPP expression was strongly conditioned both by the classroom as a speech context and by the linguistic factors including morphological ambiguity of the verb and switch reference. Crucially, instructors’ language in the classroom exhibited elevated and modified use of overt SPPs. This finding contributes to research on the variable use of Spanish SPPs, and it has important pedagogical implications for the acquisition of verbal morphology in the classroom context.

Este estudio examina si los profesores de español como segunda lengua aumentan la frecuencia en el uso de pronombres personales sujeto (SPPs) para facilitar la comunicación con sus estudiantes de habla inglesa, lo cual sería una forma de teacher talk o habla propia del profesor. Para ello, se grabó a diez profesores nativos de español en dos contextos discursivos: enseñando una clase de español a estudiantes anglófonos y hablando con un hablante nativo de español. El análisis de regresión logística en GoldVarb reveló que la expresión de los SPPs se encuentra fuertemente condicionada por el medio de instrucción o aula como contexto discursivo y por factores lingüísticos como la ambigüedad morfológica del verbo o el cambio de referencia. Resulta de crucial importancia que el habla de los profesores en el aula mostrara un uso elevado y modificado de SPPs explícitos. Los resultados de este estudio contribuyen a la investigación del uso variable de SPPs y poseen importantes implicaciones pedagógicas para la adquisición de la morfología verbal del español en el contexto del aula.
