Resumen:

Voice and Mirroring in L2 Pronunciation Instruction presents an approach to teaching pronunciation which aims for learners to internalize the ?voices? (complexes of linguistic and non-linguistic features that embody particular speakers? emotion, social stance, and group identification) of proficient speakers of the second language (L2). Beginning with a review of ?bottom-up? and ?top-down? approaches to second language acquisition (SLA) research and pronunciation teaching, the authors present previously published and new findings in interlanguage phonology and variationist approaches to SLA showing the powerful impact of sociolinguistic context on L2 pronunciation. On the basis of this review, the authors argue that a top-down approach which begins with social context is preferable in both the research and teaching of L2 pronunciation...

The release of ChatGPT has sparked significant academic integrity concerns in higher education. However, some commentators have pointed out that generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT can enhance student learning. Consequently, academics should adapt their teaching and assessment practices to embrace the new reality of living, working, and studying in a world where AI is freely available. Despite this important debate, very little academic literature has been published on ChatGPT and other generative AI tools. This article uses content analysis to examine news articles (N=100) about how ChatGPT is disrupting higher education, concentrating specifically on Australia, New Zealand, the United...

What is eye tracking? Why is it important for linguistics? How can I use it in my own research project?

Answering these questions and more, this book guides you through one of the most exciting and innovative research methods in the field of linguistics. Divided into three parts, the chapters first offer an historical introduction and a foundational overview to the neurology and physiology of the eye and the common measurements and tools used in eye tracking. They then provide a guide to the applications of eye tracking most pertinent to linguists (reading, the visual-world paradigm, social eye tracking, and classroom applications), followed by a step-by-step process to plan, execute, analyze and report your research project in eye tracking. The book covers topics such as reading, lexical and syntactic processing, mind...

En el presente documento se expone un estado de la cuestión sobre la presencia de la lectoescritura en los manuales de español como lengua extranjera (ELE) del nivel intermedio mediante el análisis del índice, los contenidos teóricos y las actividades. 

Para ello, este trabajo se ha dividido en cuatro capítulos. El primer capítulo, el marco teórico, recoge una revisión bibliográfica sobre los enfoques y métodos empleados en la enseñanza de la lectoescritura y cómo estas dos destrezas por separado se tratan en el aula de ELE.

An artificial intelligence-based chatbot, ChatGPT, was launched in November 2022 and is capable of generating cohesive and informative human-like responses to user input. This rapid review of the literature aims to enrich our understanding of ChatGPT's capabilities across subject domains, how it can be used in education, and potential issues raised by researchers during the first three months of its release (i.e., December 2022 to February 2023). A search of the relevant databases and Google Scholar yielded 50 articles for content analysis (i.e., open coding, axial coding, and selective coding). The findings of this review suggest that ChatGPT's performance varied across subject domains, ranging from outstanding (e.g.,...

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. Además del efecto de la lengua de instrucción y del método de presentación, se examinan la influencia del tipo de instrucción (intencional o...

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....
