Resumen:

The concept of input to the language learner is examined with reference to some current theorizing about language processing and the idea of modular systems of knowledge. The question of what this can tell us about the actions taken by teachers and textbook writers is addressed specifically with regard to manipulating, or “enhancing,” the input ideally so that it will affect learner knowledge and thereby learner behavior. The logic of the argumentation is that, in exposing the learner to the second language, we are engaging a whole battery of different processing mechanisms. Input enhancement research and the conclusions drawn from it have to be set within the context of a modular view of language and language learning.

Resumen:

In the age of artificial intelligence, generating an essay is as simple as typing a prompt and pressing enter. What does this mean for the art of writing? According to longtime writing teacher John Warner: not much. More Than Words argues that generative AI tools like ChatGPT not only can kill the student essay but should, since these assignments don't challenge students to do the real work of writing. To Warner, writing is thinking—discovering your ideas while trying to capture them on a page—and feeling—grappling with what it fundamentally means to be human. More Than Words calls for us to use AI as an opportunity to reckon with our relationship with writing.

Manual introductorio sobre el papel de las herramientas de IA conversacional en la enseñanza, el aprendizaje y la evaluación. Tras una panorámica de sus propiedades, su terminología y sus implicaciones éticas, ofrece estrategias para diseñar evaluaciones que favorezcan un uso provechoso de la IA sin fomentar la dependencia ni la deshonestidad; generar ejemplos para que el alumnado los critique; usar el chatbot como coinstructor, tutor, guía, compañero de debate o de lluvia de ideas; y crear contenidos, programaciones y opciones de accesibilidad.

Resumen:

Although most teachers claim to practise communicative language teaching (CLT), many do not genuinely do so. In this paper, we examine some of the reasons for teachers’ resistance to CLT use. We provide a theoretical analysis that focuses on one of the greatest challenges facing CLT methodology —how to promote automatic fluency within this framework. We meet this challenge by proposing a CLT methodology designed to meet specific criteria that will enhance learners’ fluency, while addressing teachers’ commonly held reservations about CLT. The assumptions and design criteria of the methodology presented here can be operationalized for research purposes, allowing CLT to be evaluated in systematic outcome testing.

Temas: chatbots

Resumen:

This entry provides a concise overview of the research conducted on chatbots in language teaching and learning, and aims to introduce chatbots as a distinct field within computer-assisted language learning (CALL). Much of the existing research focuses solely on chatbots' functions as conversational software, lacking deep reflection and theorization. In response to the need for a theoretical foundation, the authors review previous studies to highlight three considerations: the unique characteristics of chatbots that distinguish them from human interlocutors; research frameworks incorporating cognitive, sociocultural, and critical approaches; and areas in language education that intersect with chatbot technology.

Capítulo que revisa cómo la IA generativa puede apoyar al profesorado de lenguas en la elaboración de materiales didácticos. Tras situar la importancia del material didáctico y su proceso de desarrollo, presenta y clasifica herramientas de IA por tipo de recurso —generadores de texto, de audio, de imágenes, de tarjetas de vocabulario, de cuestionarios—, con ejemplos como ChatGPT, Smodin, YOU, Stable Diffusion o Bing.

Dedica un apartado a las desventajas: pérdida de creatividad y originalidad, desconexión con las necesidades reales del alumnado, desconocimiento del contexto cultural del aula y dependencia tecnológica. Concluye subrayando el papel activo del docente en la revisión y...

Resumen:

A number of theories of second language (L2) acquisition acknowledge a role for explicit L2 knowledge. However, the testing of these theories remains problematic because of the lack of a widely accepted means for measuring L2 explicit knowledge. This article seeks to address this lacuna by examining L2 explicit knowledge from two perspectives. First, it considers explicit knowledge as a construct. How can explicit knowledge be defined? How does it differ from other constructs such as L2 proficiency and language aptitude? Second, the article considers how L2 explicit knowledge can be measured. It critically reviews some of the ways in which explicit knowledge has been operationalized in second language acquisition research and discusses some of the instruments that have been used to measure L2 explicit knowledge. It concludes with some...

Marco de referencia de competencias pedagógico-digitales del profesorado —PED_DIGCOMPEDU_RED24— construido sobre las cuatro áreas de la dimensión pedagógica del DigCompEdu europeo (Redecker y Punie, 2017). Los autores dejan fuera las dimensiones de competencias profesionales y de competencias del alumnado del modelo original y amplían la pedagógica con competencias nuevas ligadas a tres ejes ausentes o insuficientes en 2017: la educación abierta, la educación en red y la inteligencia artificial generativa.

El marco reúne 23 competencias —13 del DigCompEdu original y 10 añadidas—, cada una desplegada en...

Language teaching has long been associated with teaching in a country or countries where a target language is spoken, but this approach is inadequate. In the contemporary world, language teaching has a responsibility to prepare learners for interaction with people of other cultural backgrounds, teaching them skills and attitudes as well as knowledge. This article presents the main concepts involved in this view of language teaching: the notion of culture, the language-culture nexus, and intercultural competence. It argues that language teaching needs to be linked to other disciplines in order to develop an approach that integrates insights from citizenship education.
