Resumen:

En el contexto digital actual, promover la alfabetización en inteligencia artificial (IA) resulta fundamental, ya que sus usos están modificando la vida cotidiana y el ámbito laboral. El objetivo de la investigación es sintetizar los beneficios de la inteligencia artificial en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. El enfoque es cualitativo, orientada bajo una revisión sistemática de evidencia reciente (2022–2025), siguiendo los lineamientos PRISMA. La búsqueda se llevó a cabo en Scopus, Web of Science e IEEE Xplore. Se identificaron 299 artículos iniciales; se seleccionaron 176 estudios para el análisis. Los hallazgos evidencian cinco dimensiones principales de beneficios: cognitiva/lingüística, pedagógica, motivacional/afectiva, de accesibilidad y social/colaborativa. Entre ellas, los beneficios cognitivos y lingüísticos fueron los...

Resumen:

This article explores the status of Spanish as a heritage language in Sweden, a Scandinavian society with diverse multilingual communities. We offer a systematic literature review, focusing on both empirical studies and educational policies related to multilingualism and Spanish heritage language speakers (SHSs). The selected studies cover such areas as identity and socio-affective factors in educational contexts as well as aspects of SHSs' linguistic systems. By synthesizing available research and policy frameworks, this work combines descriptive analysis with instructional implications to provide a critical overview of the educational and sociolinguistic dynamics shaping multilingual SHSs experiences in Sweden. Key challenges such as the mixed classroom are discussed in considering current and future educational opportunities for...

Las investigaciones previas destacan los beneficios de estudiar en el extranjero para aprender un segundo idioma (L2), especialmente en el desarrollo de la competencia pragmática, que permite a los estudiantes usar el idioma adecuadamente en diferentes contextos. Dada la prominencia global del español y los muchos estudiantes de L2 que optan por estudiar en países hispanohablantes, este estudio realizó una revisión panorámica del desarrollo pragmático del español como L2 durante los programas de estudio en el extranjero. El objetivo fue determinar la extensión del campo, la representación de los tipos de programas, participantes y análisis pragmáticos, y destacar la naturaleza del campo. Sin límite de años de...

Resumen:

Bryfonski and McKay published a meta-analytic review of reports on the effectiveness of task-based programs relative to other types of programs. The aggregated effect in support of task-based programs was substantial. However, Boers et al. re-examined the 27 comparative studies from which this effect size was calculated and argued that, with one exception, they did not serve the intended purpose of the meta-analysis well. However, in a recent publication, Xuan et al. argue that a good number of the primary studies used by Bryfonski and McKay are in fact suitable for a meta-analysis if the programs they assess are re-defined as task-supported rather than task-based programs. Xuan et al. then conducted a meta-analysis of 16 of the 27 comparative studies that were originally included in Bryfonski and McKay's analysis, confirming the...

Resumen:

A growing body of literature examined the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in second/foreign language learning (L2) achievement. Though positive relationships have been reported, negative or non-significant relationships were also found. To date no study has quantitatively synthesized the overall effect size between EI and L2 achievement or the potential moderators influencing their relationship. The current meta-analysis fills this research gap by examining 39 independent studies with a cumulative sample size of 6,571 participants. Moderation analyses showed that the effect was stronger for female, collectivistic culture, and final grades as language measures (as opposed to standardized tests) but not influenced by educational level, major, specificity of L2 achievement, skills of language learning or publication year. Reasons for...

Resumen:

As digital or video gaming has grown in popularity around the globe in the last few decades, attention to its potential as a means to learn L2s (second, foreign, or additional languages) has grown, as evidenced by an increase in academic journal-based treatment of research in DGBELLT (digital game-based and enhanced second/foreign language learning and teaching), alongside monographs and edited volumes. To identify common findings and research trends, we conducted a review of recent research and scholarship in the young field published between January 2021 and December 2024 inclusive in major academic journals and edited volumes. We ultimately selected 76 pieces for the review, categorizing them into five types or foci: reviews and meta-analyses, studies of game-enhanced L2 learning and L2 gaming, game-enhanced pedagogy, L2 learning...

Resumen:

Digital Applied Linguistics (DAL) is an innovative and rapidly evolving field that integrates advanced technologies, particularly generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), into language education, acquisition, and research. This study first systematically synthesized research on language learning, teaching, and teacher development, as well as potential future directions in GenAI-driven Digital Applied Linguistics, drawing on 23 recent and relevant studies. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, findings indicated that digital technologies, particularly GenAI, have significant potential to enhance and transform language learning and teaching. Additionally, the study adopted semi-structured interviews for three focal cases from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau....

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, and integration. These instructional design principles...

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 showed large overall effects...

Resumen:

El estudio revisa la metodología de investigación de las tesis publicadas en España sobre el español como lengua extranjera (ELE) durante los últimos cuatro años. Para ello, analiza siete variables a partir de una taxonomía que define las características intrínsecas en la metodología de investigación de 135 tesis doctorales relacionadas con la enseñanza/aprendizaje de ELE. De corte descriptivo, el estudio complementa trabajos previos (Blanco Pena, 2019; Hsiao, 2019; Hsiao y Vieco, 2020) que indagan sobre las publicaciones científicas especializadas en este campo y da a conocer la tendencia y el comportamiento  de  las  variables.  En  el  marco  teórico,  se  contextualizan  los  estudios precedentes y se realiza una revisión bibliográfica. Asimismo, se establecen las variables...
