Este artículo estudia el entendimiento de los docentes nativos de ELE en China de su membresía y posicionamiento en las comunidades de práctica (Wenger, 1998) donde se desenvuelven profesionalmente. Mediante un análisis fenomenográfico, se profundiza en las experiencias de nueve profesores nativos en entornos universitarios, mostrando cómo su praxis laboral y la aceptación de sus roles moldean aspectos vinculados con su pertenencia legítima en la comunidad de práctica. Los principales hallazgos exponen dicha pertenencia como parte de un subgrupo marcado por la otredad del contexto asociada con la nacionalidad. Este posicionamiento está caracterizado por altos niveles de agencia dentro...

Resumen:

Measurement of language learners' development in speaking proficiency is important for practicing language teachers, not only for assessment purposes, but also for evaluating the effectiveness of materials and approaches used. However, doing so effectively and efficiently presents challenges. Commercial speaking tests are often costly, and beyond the budget of many schools, and the use of frameworks such as Complexity, Accuracy, Lexis, and Fluency place great demand on teachers' limited time. This article reports on two tests that potentially offer a practical solution to these problems. The speaking proficiency of 75 students in an oral English course at a university in Japan was measured three times over the course of an academic year using short, spoken narratives assessed by human raters with a specially-designed rubric, and a...

This study investigates the cognitive processing of Spanish idioms from a pragmatic perspective, with the goal of examining the idiom superiority effect. An eye-tracking experiment was conducted with 77 participants to assess how idiomaticity influences processing and whether heritage speakers align more with L1 or L2 patterns. Results show a processing advantage for idioms among L1 speakers, suggesting reduced cognitive load in later stages. Both heritage and L2 speakers showed longer reading times, but only L2 speakers benefited consistently from idiomaticity. Heritage speakers processed idioms more slowly, indicating difficulty with opacity despite early exposure. Findings support hybrid models of idiom...

Resumen:

Coteaching is widely adopted in K-12 second/foreign language education, yet its models are not fully understood. This systematic review examines 35 empirical studies from 1998 to 2024, exploring the effects, challenges, and potential of this pedagogical approach. Results indicate that K-12 classrooms mainly employed the two-teacher-one-language and the one-teacher-one-language approach, with the most commonly used models being the one-teach-one-assist and the team-teaching model. Regarding its influences, coteaching helped develop students' target language competence and multilingual repertoire, and it fostered cultural exposure and cross-cultural interactions. Coteaching also supported teachers in coconstructing knowledge and provided shared space for reflection. However, challenges such as language and cultural barriers,...

Resumen:

La asignatura de Lengua castellana y literatura busca, en los últimos años, la reflexión sobre el uso para desarrollar la competencia comunicativa del alumnado. La mejora de este uso se asienta, en buena parte, en lo que se considera correcto o incorrecto. La norma fija un modelo de lengua, pero no puede frenar la naturaleza de una lengua viva: el cambio. La reflexión sobre los mecanismos del cambio lingüístico permite formar criterio en el alumnado sobre las formas que se apartan de la norma y sobre las causas internas que las explican.

Resumen:

This book synthesises research on very early language learning in pre-primary organised instruction settings such as kindergarten, nursery or afternoon classes. Using a framework of ecological development, it investigates the nested systems in which very young learners operate, the other agents involved in each of these systems and the influence these agents have on children's foreign language learning. It explores the ecosystems of the individual learner and their family, educational institutions, general social climate and language education policies, resulting in a holistic view of early language learning and the key transitions into and out of pre-primary formal instruction settings.

This is the first book to gather research to date on very young learners in formal settings, offering a comprehensive state of the art to...

Resumen:

Teacher burnout and attrition are significant concerns in the United States and globally, particularly in high-needs areas such as world language (WL) teaching. Despite extensive international research on teacher burnout and attrition, few studies have specifically examined how demographic characteristics may influence burnout and intent to quit among WL teachers. To address this gap, this study employed a cross-sectional research design utilizing a factorial multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to explore the relationships between various demographic factors and teacher burnout and intent to quit in high school WL teachers. Analysis revealed statistically significant main, interactive, and between-participants effects for a range of personal characteristics (i.e. gender, age, race, and ethnicity), teacher characteristics (i.e....

Resumen:

This study investigated the perceptions of 200 Korean students of Spanish as a foreign language regarding team teaching by a Korean Spanish teacher (KST) and a native Spanish-speaking teacher (NST) in a university Spanish course. The survey focused on the students' views on the weight and demand of learning areas in the lectures, the teaching method and attitude of each instructor, and the advantages and disadvantages of each teacher. The questionnaire asked the students to evaluate the overall team teaching to discern their expectations of the Spanish classes. The results showed that the students had high demands for speaking in both the KST's and NST's classes and indicated the advantages and disadvantages of both types of teachers. A relationship was found between the language proficiency level of the students and their preference...
