Resumen:

Este trabajo realiza un meta-análisis de las tesis doctorales en el ámbito de la enseñanza/aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera (ELE). Bajo un diseño longitudinal de tres años, analizamos 103 tesis leídas/defendidas entre 2017 y 2019. Concretamente, estudiamos ocho variables establecidas previamente que nos permiten identificar el estado actual de la metodología de investigación de dichas producciones científicas: el paradigma de investigación, la tipología de estudio, el método y el instrumento de investigación, la tipología de análisis, la temática y el contexto de investigación. Tras completar la fase de búsqueda y clasificación, analizamos las tesis disponibles en Internet que están alojadas gratuitamente en estas cuatro bases de datos en España: Dialnet, Teseo, Tesis doctorales en Xarxa (TDX), y Portal del Hispanismo...

Resumen:

This study examines the development of speaker and listener assessments by second language (L2) learners of Spanish during a semester abroad in Spain. Assessments express the speaker?s judgment, attitude, or affect towards what is said and perform the crucial functions of closing a topic and displaying shared understanding with an interlocutor. The results indicate that learners increased their use of listener assessments, as well as their use of specific structures and lexical items in speaker assessments. Participation in everyday conversation as well as explicit instruction represented ways that students could learn to make assessments. The article concludes with suggestions for teaching assessments in the Spanish L2 classroom.

In today's globalized world, teaching intercultural competence in educational contexts is of great importance. The potential of foreign language literary texts has been emphasized repeatedly. The present study investigates the value of a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) approach to the teaching of literature in foreign language classrooms for the simultaneous development of intercultural competence and foreign language reading proficiency. An intervention based on integrated intercultural literary pedagogy (IILP) was developed. This longitudinal quasi-experimental study examined the effects of the IILP treatment in a sample of 274 Dutch secondary school students (from seven schools) who were learning Spanish...

El presente volumen estudia la competencia léxica de un grupo de aprendientes italófonos de español lengua extranjera (ELE). Para ello, enmarcándose en el ámbito de investigación sobre la didáctica del léxico, introduce cambios metodológicos con respecto a los estudios realizados en este marco hasta la fecha con el objetivo de profundizar el conocimiento de un fenómeno tan complejo como el dominio del vocabulario, ya que se emplean ?conjuntamente por primera vez? dos metodologías lexicoestadísticas que lo describen cuantitativa, cualitativa y comparativamente. De un lado, la disponibilidad léxica, colocándose en el plano paradigmático de la lengua, analiza no solo de qué y cuántas palabras dispone un...

Resumen:

Few studies have analyzed the writing features of second language (L2) alongside heritage language (HL) learners of Spanish. Focusing on the development of writing complexity, we collected data from students at the beginning and at the end of a composition sequence. Comparing the groups at the outset revealed HL students? greater mood complexity. After 14 weeks, both groups improved in tense complexity, mean essay length, and lexical sophistication. Our findings suggest that, given sufficient time, both HL and L2 students can progress in similar ways in at least some measures of linguistic complexity. Nevertheless, they might gain from instruction that facilitates new and diverse vocabulary, and the construction of longer sentences. L2 students specifically would benefit from greater emphasis on the subjunctive. Our study supports the...

Most research on task-based language teaching (TBLT) has focused on specific factors that play a role in task-based performance and learning, whereas considerably fewer studies have paid attention to how TBLT curricula have been developed and delivered in second language (L2) teaching contexts. However, it has been argued that the latter type of evaluative inquiry is crucial in order to advance the educational significance of the approach. While more evaluation studies have been published in recent years, few of them adopt a multi-methodological, longitudinal and...
