Resumen:

The current study investigated the interaction between task-induced involvement load and the languages used in vocabulary glosses on incidental second language (L2) word learning in low proficiency learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). Using computer-based tasks, the study also probed whether a task with a higher level of involvement load promoted a greater learner engagement with unfamiliar words, as measured by their hypertext gloss lookup frequencies. A total of 160 Thai EFL learners were equally divided into five task conditions based on the relative level of involvement load (low, high) and type of target word gloss (no glosses, L1 glosses, L2 glosses). The findings suggest that a task with a higher level of involvement load and first language (L1) glosses is most conducive to L2 word learning and that gloss language...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Resumen:

Vocabulary learning is basic for mastering a foreign language. Many students learn foreign language (FL) vocabulary via instructional videos outside of traditional classrooms, as there is no limit to time or space. Cues (e.g. coloring, highlighting, arrows, and text) are design features in instructional videos that not only guide learners' attention, but also facilitate the organization and integration of information. However, little is known about how visual cues and text cues influence FL vocabulary learning from instructional videos. In Experiment 1, we tested the effects of synonym text cues presented before the instructional video and visual cues during the video. Effects were measured in terms of participants' judgments of learning and objective measures of learning performance (indicated by accuracy on immediate and delayed...

Incidental collocation learning from reading-while-listening and captioned TV viewing and predictors of learning gains

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Resumen:

Although a number of previous studies have shown that TV viewing can lead to incidental vocabulary learning, most of them focused on single words. Little research has examined the effect of captioned TV viewing on incidental collocation learning compared with other modes of input. In addition, research on the factors that affect incidental collocation from different input modes is still relatively scarce and has produced inconclusive findings. To fill those research gaps, the present study investigates the effects of reading-while-listening and captioned TV viewing on incidental collocation learning and predictors of learning gains. Eighty Vietnamese English as a foreign language (EFL) learners were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group encountered 24 target collocations in two stories in two...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: revisión bibliográfica

Temas: enseñanza en línea e híbrida

Resumen:

El presente estudio se enfoca en la estrategia metodológica de Blended Learning (B-learning) aplicada al aprendizaje de idiomas. Esta modalidad combina elementos presenciales y virtuales, incorporando tanto encuentros sincrónicos como asíncronos, aprovechando las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC). El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el impacto de esta estrategia en el aprendizaje de idiomas. Se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo con un paradigma interpretativo, un diseño documental y alcance explicativo. La revisión de la literatura se centró en artículos de revistas indexadas en Latindex, SciElo, Ebsco, Scopus y Web of Science relacionados con el tema. Los resultados destacan que el B-learning se presenta como una solución a ciertos desafíos encontrados en la educación presencial. En conclusión, la adquisición de...

Research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language education becomes more popular. This revolutionary technology is regarded as a promising tool to assist language learning environments by empowering automatic feedback, intelligent tutoring, and personalization. While designing Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) environments, educators have followed the First Principles of Instruction (FPI), including problem-centered, activation, demonstration, application,...

Resumen:

Texto completo

There is a great deal of variation in gains found between studies of second language (L2) incidental vocabulary learning, as well as many factors that affect learning. This meta-analysis investigated the effects of exposure to L2 meaning-focused input on incidental vocabulary learning with an aim to clarify the proportional gains that occur through meaning-focused learning. Twenty-four primary studies were retrieved providing 29 different effect sizes and a total sample size of 2,771 participants (1,517 in experimental groups vs. 1,254 in control groups). Results...

Resumen:

The present study investigates language learners’ perceptions of what types of language learning activities they carry out in the Spanish second language (L2) classroom and what activities are the most common ones. A further aim is to investigate how the activities align with a model based on task-based language teaching. The group studied are Swedish learners of Spanish as L2 in a Swedish setting, where out of class exposure to first language (L1) Spanish is generally limited. The activities carried out in class are therefore expected to have a high impact on learners’ L2 acquisition in Spanish. The...

Heritage language learners? written texts across pair types and interaction mode

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: español como lengua de herencia

Resumen:

Task-based research has investigated the learning opportunities (e.g. language related episodes) that emerge during heritage and second language learner interactions during writing tasks. However, to date, it is unknown how these peer interactions involving heritage language learners contribute to written texts. Further, given the rise of social technologies in educational settings, a need exists to examine how interactions in digital platforms affect the production of written texts. To address these issues, 13 heritage-second language learner and 16 heritage?heritage learner pairs enrolled in advanced Spanish content courses completed two distinct versions of writing tasks. Participants were instructed that they were hired as business consultants for clothing and cellphone companies in Spain. While each participant wrote her or his...

Las redes sociales digitales en la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera

Tipo: libro

Temas: redes sociales

Resumen:

Este libro está pensado para la formación de profesorado de español como lengua adicional, aunque cualquier persona interesada en el fenómeno comunicativo de las redes sociales podrá encontrar su lectura de interés. En concreto, los capítulos primero y segundo tratan sobre cómo la comunicación digital ha cambiado nuestros hábitos lingüísticos y deja su impronta en el estilo comunicativo que usamos. Las redes sociales constituyen muy probablemente uno de los ámbitos de uso en los que participarán los estudiantes de español lengua extranjera y, también, una fuente importante de input y un entorno natural para desarrollo del aprendizaje autónomo. Además, aprender a expresarse en ellas de una forma adecuada será parte del desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa del alumnado. Sobre todo ello y cómo llevarlo a cabo mediante tareas...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: revisión bibliográfica

Temas: feedback/retroalimentación

Resumen:

Corrective feedback on second language (L2) writing has remained one of the most heavily studied areas in applied linguistics, yet clear guidance for practitioners about how to provide it most effectively remains limited. Previous studies have meta-analysed written corrective feedback (WCF) research revealing conflicting findings in how WCF affects development in L2 writers? accuracy over time. This study provides a needed update in light of a recent increase in (quasi)experimental WCF studies. It features several methodological advances by introducing a Bayesian approach to conducting a meta-analysis, which provides a more valid picture of the generalizable effects. The analysis allows distinction ? for the first time at a meta-analytic level ? between short-, medium-, and long-term effects of WCF. Results aggregate data from an...
