Resumen:

This is not the first attempt to present a new approach to the teaching of second and foreign languages based on a new theory of language. Earlier attempts, most notably audiolingual approaches, have not met with great success. We think that this has happened for several reasons. A major problem was that the theories were not actually theories of language acquisition, but theories of something else; for example, the structure of language. Also, the application of the theory, the methodology, was not always adequately field-tested. What looked reasonable to the university professor on paper did not always work out in the classroom.

The Natural Approach, we hope, does not have these weaknesses. It is based on an empirically grounded theory of second language acquisition, which has been supported by a large number of scientific...

Resumen:

This book provides a forum for methodological discussions emanating from researchers engaged in studying how individuals acquire an additional language. Whereas publications in the field of second language acquisition generally report on empirical studies with relatively little space dedicated to questions of method, the current book gave authors the opportunity to more fully develop a discussion piece around a methodological issue in connection with the interpretation of language-learning data. The result is a set of seven thought-provoking contributions from researchers with diverse interests. Three main topics are addressed in these chapters: the role of native-speaker norms in second-language analyses, the impact of epistemological stance on experimental design and/or data interpretation, and the challenges of transcription and...

Resumen:

In the current study I explore the relationship between epistemology and methodology through a reanalysis of production data on grammatical gender in additionallanguage Spanish that were analysed in Gudmestad et al. (2019). This reanalysis consists of a shift in the epistemology from the one adopted by Gudmestad et al., where gender marking, which occurs between nouns and both determiners and adjectives, is a unified linguistic phenomenon. In contrast, the assumption in the present investigation is that the acquisition of gender marking entails learning gender assignment and gender agreement, two different learning processes that are observable in language behaviour with determiners and adjectives, respectively. In order to reflect critically on the relationship between epistemology and methodology and specifically on its influence on...

Resumen:

The aim of this introduction is to set the scene and present the three contexts on focus in the monograph and justify this choice of topic within second language acquisition (SLA) research, the perspective taken in this volume. Starting with the latter, in the past two decades the examination of the effects of different contexts of acquisition has attracted the attention of researchers, based on the idea that "the study of SLA within and across various contexts of learning forces a broadening of our perspective of the different variables that affect and impede acquisition in general" (Collentine & Freed 2004: 157).

Resumen:

Este estudio aborda la problemática que entraña el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las emociones en las construcciones inversas con verbos psicológicos (p. ej. me gusta) en el aula de Español Lengua Extranjera (ELE). En estas construcciones, un Estímulo externo actúa sobre un Experimentador y genera en este un evento mental particular (p. ej. sentimiento de agrado). Examinamos exhaustivamente este tipo de construcciones en 10 manuales de ELE con el fin de dilucidar su tratamiento y partimos de la hipótesis de que su explicación gramatical no incorpora aspectos comunicativo-cognitivos. Los resultados del análisis cualitativo evidencian, en su mayoría, un tratamiento comunicativo de estas formas lingüísticas, pero también formalista, desistematizado y poco cognitivo; eso explicaría, en parte, las dificultades que presentan los...

This article presents a study on Google Translate search strategies among 16 Swedish senior high school students (age 17-18) engaging in writing tasks during their sixth year studying Spanish L3. The students wrote on laptops with Internet access and were allowed to use Google Translate to search for Spanish words. Analyses of approximately 43 hours of screen recordings covering the writing of 57 essays reveal a complex weave of Google Translate search strategies performed in Swedish, English, and Spanish. The strategies combine lexical and...

Resumen:

La Parrilla del perfil del profesor de idiomas (EPG  - European Profiling Grid) es un instrumento que describe las competencias de los profesores de idiomas en seis fases de desarrollo y las presenta en forma de tabla. Está disponible en nueve lenguas.

Su objetivo es ayudar a los profesores a que se desarrollen profesionalmente, sin tener en cuenta el idioma que enseñan. Esta herramienta está también dirigida a responsables académicos y a coordinadores encargados de garantizar la calidad en la enseñanza de idiomas, y a formadores y a tutores que apoyan a profesores de idiomas y les proporcionan oportunidades de desarrollo profesional.

Como su propio nombre indica, la Parrilla EPG es una parrilla o tabla. En el eje vertical aparece una lista de categorías de la competencia docente, mientras que en...
