Temas: español para fines específicos

Resumen: En abril del año pasado, tuvieron lugar las "Terceras Jornadas de Español para Fines Específicos de Viena" y hoy nos complace comunicar la aparición del volumen JEFE-Vi III: Contribuciones a las Jornadas de Español para Fines Específicos de Viena. A pesar de que se trata de una colección heterogénea de trabajos, todos ellos tienen en común el ofrecer una perspectiva poco estudiada o, al menos poco frecuente, del gran ámbito del Español para Fines Específicos.
 
El volumen está disponible en la página de las Jornadas JEFE-Vi (https://jefevi.com/iii-jefe-vi/) y en el Centro Virtual Cervantes, entre las actividades del centro de Viena, https://cvc.cervantes.es/ensenanza/...

Temas: MCER

Resumen:

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its Companion Volume have established themselves as an indispensable reference point for all aspects of second and foreign language education. This book discusses the impact of the CEFR on curricula, teaching/learning and assessment in a wide range of educational contexts, identifies challenges posed by the Companion Volume and sheds light on areas that require further research and development. Particular attention is paid to three features of the two documents: their action-oriented approach, their focus on plurilingualism, and the potential of their scales and descriptors to support the alignment of curricula, teaching/learning and assessment. The book suggests a way forward for future engagement with the CEFR, taking account of new developments in applied...

Temas: inclusión y equidad

Resumen:

This edited book expands the current scholarship on teaching world languages for social justice and equity in K-12 and postsecondary contexts in the US. Over the past decade, demand has been growing for a more critical approach to teaching languages and cultures: in response, this volume brings together a group of scholars whose work bridges the fields of world language education and critical approaches to education. Within the current US context, the chapters address the following key questions: (1) How are pre-service or in-service world language teachers/professors embedding issues, understandings, or content related to social justice, human rights, access, critical pedagogy and equity into their teaching and curriculum? (2) How are teacher educators preparing language teachers to teach for social justice, human rights, access and...

Temas: aprendizaje autónomo

Resumen:

Through the application of self-determination theory (SDT) to research and practice, this book deepens our understanding of how autonomous language learning can be supported and understood within environments outside of the classroom. Theoretical, empirical and practice-focused chapters examine autonomy support in a range of contexts and settings, dealing with learning environments and open spaces, communities and relationships, and advising and self-access language learning. They reveal what occurs beyond the classroom, how socializing agents support autonomous motivation and wellness, and how SDT can enhance our understanding of supporting language learner autonomy. It will be of interest to language teachers, university lecturers and learning advisors who are providing support outside the classroom, as well as to graduate students...

Temas: español como lengua de herencia

Resumen:

n the United States, heritage language speakers represent approximately 22 percent of the population and 29 percent of the school-age population. Until now, though, few studies have examined the outcomes of classroom teaching of heritage languages.

Outcomes of University Spanish Heritage Language Instruction in the United States sheds light on the effectiveness of specific instructional methods for college-level heritage learners. The first of its kind, this volume addresses how receiving heritage classroom instruction affects Spanish speakers on multiple levels, including linguistic, affective, attitudinal, social, and academic outcomes. Examining outcomes of instruction in the Spanish language?the most common heritage language in the United States?provides insights that can be applied to instruction in other heritage...

Resumen:

Actas del XXVII Congreso Internacional de la ASELE.

"Este libro reúne un conjunto de trabajos teóricos y prácticos en torno al estudio y la enseñanza de importantes variedades sociolingüísticas del español, desde una perspectiva geolectal o atendiendo a significativos factores sociológicos y cognitivos en el aprendizaje de la lengua y en la caracterización de las variedades y variaciones que esta ofrece en su uso real.

Como es bien sabido, una de las riquezas (y dificultades didácticas) del español es, precisamente, la diversidad de sus modalidades geográficas, dialectales y discursivas, modalidades que deben conocerse y enseñarse adecuadamente. Asimismo, desde el punto de vista normativo, la lengua española ofrece una pluralidad de estándares nacionales y supranacionales con perspectiva policéntrica que, al menos en sus...

Temas: telecolaboración e intercambios virtuales

Resumen:

Virtual exchanges provide language learners with a unique opportunity to develop their target language skills, support inter-cultural exchange, and afford teacher candidates space to hone their teaching craft. The research presented in this volume investigates the role of virtual exchanges as both a teaching tool to support second language acquisition and a space for second language development. Practitioners obtain guidance on the different types of exchanges that currently exist and on the outcome of those exchanges so that they can make informed decisions on whether to include this type of program in their language teaching and learning classrooms. To this end, this edited volume contains chapters that describe individual virtual exchanges along with results of research done on each exchange to show how the exchange supported...
