encuesta

La presente propuesta nace a partir de la implantación de la Ley Educativa italiana Alternanza Scuola-Lavoro, que obliga a los estudiantes de entre 15 y 19 años a realizar horas lectivas sobre el mundo de los negocios en una lengua extranjera. Para dar respuesta a esta demanda, se diseña un curso de Español con Fines Específicos (EFE) dirigido a adolescentes. Esta experiencia práctica pretende comprobar si los contenidos y los materiales (1) resultan útiles para los jóvenes en su aprendizaje, (2) son válidos para la consecución de sus objetivos y (3) logran aumentar su motivación. Para ello, tras el diseño del programa y su puesta en práctica, se elaboran unos cuestionarios de (auto)evaluación,...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: estrategias de aprendizaje

Resumen:

There is an increasing recognition that effective deployment of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies is essential for the development of second/foreign language learners’ abilities to accomplish learning goals. Within models of SRL, a prerequisite for the active employment of SRL strategies is learners’ self-efficacy, which interacts with strategy use in all phases. In the domain of second language (L2) writing, previous research mainly adopted a variable-centred approach to investigate the relationship between SRL strategy use and self-efficacy whereas person-centred questions have largely been neglected. Performing latent profile analysis (LPA) with undergraduate students of English as a foreign language (EFL), we identified three SRL profiles that differed quantitatively concerning levels of self-efficacy. The efficacious self-...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: factores afectivos

Resumen:

Family context has been found to influence achievement emotions, but the factors that might moderate this association remain relatively unexplored. To address this gap, this research examined the moderation of teacher–student relationships (TSR) in the link between family socioeconomic status (SES) and emotions in foreign language (FL) learning drawing on control-value theory of achievement emotions and attachment theory. The research involved 4,155 eighth-grade students from China, who completed scales reporting their SES, FL enjoyment, FL anxiety, and FL burnout. The moderating effect model demonstrated that TSR played a moderating role in the relationship between SES and negative emotions in FL learning such as anxiety and burnout. However, no significant moderation was observed between SES and FL enjoyment. Specifically, a warm...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: feedback/retroalimentación

Resumen:

Previous research on oral corrective feedback (OCF) has primarily focused on teachers’ cognitions and practices in pre-service and private-sector contexts, with limited attention to in-service teachers, particularly in state-sector settings. This study investigates Iranian in-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ cognitions and reported practices concerning OCF in state-sector schools. Drawing on Borg’s teacher cognition framework and Lyster and Ranta’s typology of feedback types, the study focuses on five key aspects of OCF: source, provider, linguistic target, timing, and feedback type. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed: 204 teachers completed a...

Resumen:

Describir la variación lingüística y explicar la razón de su existencia son dos de los principales objetivos de la sociolingüística, para cuyo logro propone analizar las creencias y actitudes de los individuos hacia los usos lingüísticos y la percepción de las variedades lingüísticas y los comportamientos hacia ellas (López Morales 1989, Moreno Fernández 2012, Martín Butragueño 2014). Con objeto de aportar datos empíricos relativos a estas dimensiones, nació en 2013 el Proyecto para el estudio de creencias y actitudes hacia variedades del español en el...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: factores afectivos

Resumen:

The past decade has witnessed a surge of research interest in diverse emotions that foreign/second language (L2) learners experience. However, research on L2 boredom is just starting. The current study focuses on foreign language learning boredom (FLLB) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and examines how they are associated with a wide range of learner-internal variables and teacher-centered variables. A total of 868 current university students in China studying English as a foreign language (FL) participated in a questionnaire survey. Correlation results show the following: (1) there was a strong negative correlation between FLE and FLLB; (2) FLE was positively linked to multiple learner-internal variables (self-perceived FL proficiency, relative standing among peers, attitudes towards the FL, the teacher, and FL-related culture)...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: feedback/retroalimentación

Resumen:

With the existing research gap regarding the validation of the effects of teacher feedback, the relatively limited exploration of the correlation between teacher feedback and speaking performance, and the inadequate examination of emotions, this study endeavored to investigate the efficacy of teacher feedback in digital storytelling among learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). Emphasis is placed on speaking performance, emotions, perceptions among high and low achievers, and teacher reflections. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research design incorporated data from pre-/post-tests of digital storytelling, student responses to an emotion questionnaire, student perceptions of teacher feedback, and teacher reflections on feedback practices. The findings demonstrated that teacher feedback not only significantly impacted...

New Ways to Teach and Learn Pragmatics for Advancing Academic Communication Competence: An AI-Mediated Multimodal Platform

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: enseñanza/aprendizaje de lenguas

Resumen:

Effective academic communication in multilingual higher education requires pragmatic competence, yet this dimension of language ability is often overlooked in instruction and insufficiently supported through feedback or authentic practice. Grounded in instructed pragmatics and technology-mediated learning frameworks, this study reports on the design, implementation, and empirical evaluation of an artificial intelligence (AI)-mediated multimodal platform developed to scaffold pragmatic competence in Indonesian within digital academic contexts. The platform integrates five interdependent features: automated text analysis to identify speech acts, politeness strategies, and violations of conversational principles; video analysis with multilingual transcription and theory-based annotation; conversation simulations providing context-...

Resumen:

The study reported in this article was aimed at investigating whether making the findings of second language fluency research accessible to language teachers has an impact on their self-reported understanding of the concept of oral fluency, confidence in promoting it, and classroom practice in short and medium term. The data come from 106 initial and 32 delayed questionnaires, eliciting both qualitative and quantitative data, from second language teachers in England after attending a one-day research-informed and practice-oriented training workshop. The results indicate a positive impact of the intervention on teachers’ understanding of fluency, confidence in helping their learners, and self-...

Temas: factores afectivos

Resumen:

The present study sought to understand the nature and level of foreign language (FL) anxiety among primary school students and the relationship between FL anxiety and FL achievement. Changes in FL anxiety across groups of three primary school years were also examined. A total of 631 (324 male, 307 female) primary school students aged 9–11 years completed the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) that measured students’ FL anxiety. Our participants’ FL achievements as measured by low-stakes regular assessments and high-stakes formal examinations were also collected. On average, primary school students reported levels of FL anxiety comparable to those of adults observed in previous studies. Factor analysis on FLCAS generated four components of FL anxiety: communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, test anxiety...
