En un contexto de revalorización léxica, este estudio analiza los efectos de la lengua de explicación (L1 o L2) en la fase de presentación del vocabulario. Para ello, se evalúa el impacto a corto y medio plazo de tres métodos directos de presentación léxica (listado de palabras, ejemplos y texto glosado), que se sirven, bien de la traducción en L1 (italiano), bien de definiciones en L2 (español), y de un método indirecto (inferencia por contexto) en la recuperación y reconocimiento de vocabulario en español por parte de 161 estudiantes de español como lengua extranjera de nacionalidad italiana.

Resumen:

This study focuses on understanding language teachers? lived experiences of their stressors and positive uplifts from a holistic perspective covering their professional lives in school, their personal lives beyond, and the connection between the two. The aim was to explore the nature of teachers? experiences of stress and how they spilled over from work into home domains. We also were keen to understand the dynamics of their experiences of stress and how their perception of daily stressors was related to their overall sense of wellbeing as well as their life and chronic stressors. The data were collected via a specially created app, which collected survey data and experience sampling method (ESM) data from language teachers across the globe. Teachers? wellbeing was investigated using the PERMA Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016), their...

Resumen:

The imagination effect occurs when students learn better from imagining concepts and procedures rather than from studying them. Cognitive load theory explains the effect by better use of available working memory resources and increased productive, intrinsic cognitive load. The effect has been found in numerous empirical studies. However, in the majority of studies demonstrating the effect, visual/spatial information has been used: the type of information that is believed to be easy for imagining. The reported two experiments investigated if an imagination effect could be obtained using verbal information in the area of learning a second language. The results indicated that while textual material was expectedly more difficult for learning than diagrammatic material, asking learners to imagine textual material did improve performance....

This study investigated the effectiveness of word-frequency and teacher judgments in determining students? vocabulary knowledge and compared the predictive powers of both approaches when estimating vocabulary knowledge. Twenty-nine second language (L2) Spanish teachers were asked to predict how likely their students would know words from a 216-word Yes/No test that measures knowledge of the first 3,000 words in Spanish. The accuracy of their responses was compared with the results of 1,075 L2 Spanish students who completed the same test. To examine if the results could generalize to other L2 settings, 394 L2 English students completed a 70-word Yes/No test that measures knowledge of the first 14,000 words in English, and...

Temas: libro racismo

Resumen:

Beginning from the premise that being non-racist ?and other 'neutral' positions? are inadequate in the face of a racist society and institutions, this book provides language educators with practical tools to implement antiracist pedagogy in their classrooms. It offers readers a solid theoretical grounding for its practical suggestions, drawing on work in critical race theory, critical sociolinguistics and language ideology to support its argument for antiracist pedagogy as a necessary form of direct action. The author contends that antiracist pedagogy is a crucial part of the project of decolonizing universities, which goes beyond tokenistic diversity initiatives and combats racism in institutions that have historically helped to perpetuate it. The author's pedagogical suggestions are accompanied by online resources which will help...

This paper aims at understanding the extent to which languages are taught collaboratively in higher education (HE), which team teaching (TT) models have been implemented, and what lessons were learnt from the experiences. Following the Arksey and O?Malley framework [2005. ?Scoping Studies: Towards a Methodological Framework.? International Journal of Social Research Methodology 8 (1): 19?32. https://doi.org/10.1080/1364557032000119616], a scoping review was conducted to map TT practices in HE language classrooms around the world. The review uses narrative analysis to describe those practices and provides an...

Resumen:

Este artículo examina el potencial de ChatGPT para el aprendizaje de español como segunda lengua en los niveles A1-B1 en cuanto a su capacidad tanto de descifrar el input del alumnado de estos niveles como de generar respuestas que puedan comprender los aprendientes. Para ello, y tras un breve repaso de las potencialidades y desafíos de la integración de las herramientas de generación de textos basadas en la inteligencia artificial, se describe el análisis realizado con dos corpus de interacciones con ChatGPT -compilados a partir de prompts del alumnado y de ejercicios propios de los cursos en estos niveles- y se presenta una serie de conclusiones preliminares a la implementación de ChatGPT en clase, resultante del análisis de dichos corpus, y encaminadas a fomentar el autoaprendizaje mediante ChatGPT como agente conversacional.
