Phraseology plays a crucial role in academic texts, with collocation use key to demonstrating high competence in academic writing. Even for native speakers with limited experience in academic genres, academic collocations present challenges. Despite their importance, however, no sufficiently representative repertoire of academic collocations in Spanish has been developed as a resource for students, similar to those available for academic English. To address this gap, this article proposes a reference list of academic collocations in Spanish, designed for integrated in an academic writing tool and as a support for Spanish for Academic Purposes. Collocations were extracted from an academic...

Word sense awareness is a feature which has not yet been implemented in most Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) environments or in computer-readable resources for pedagogical purposes such as graded word lists. The current study aims to contribute to filling this gap by presenting a word sense disambiguation (WSD) method which relies on a tailor-made sense inventory, exploits readily available large language models, and only requires a limited number of prototypical examples sentences as manually curated data. The methodology is evaluated on a set of 74 lexically ambiguous items, with a Spanish language for specific purposes course as the target setting. With weighted F1 scores up to...

Resumen:

Despite the widespread reference to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Companion Volume (CV) in the language teaching curriculum in Spain, there is no information regarding teachers' familiarity with the documents and their degree of implementation in University Language Centres, crucial for the internationalization of universities.

Findings reveal gaps in the teachers' knowledge regarding differences between the documents, specific issues related to the CV, and varying degrees of familiarity and use of competences and their descriptors. A further analysis of open questions also revealed those aspects which are missing in teacher training...

Resumen:

Los contextos de aprendizaje se conforman como una de las variables más influyentes en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras. Tomando de muestra dos grupos de estudiantes angloparlantes de ELE de nivel medio-superior, uno en contexto de aprendizaje formal (escolarizado) y otro en contexto de estancia en un país hispanohablante, presentamos un análisis de la productividad de cada grupo en las tareas de fluidez categorial empleadas en la disponibilidad léxica y comparamos las redes semánticas que se construyen en el léxico disponible de cada uno, en dos centros de interés con configuración interna distinta (“los animales” y “la ciudad”). Los resultados muestran diferencias notables: una mayor productividad del grupo en contexto de estancia y unas redes de menor tamaño, más densas y con nodos más interconectados en el grupo en contexto...
