Temas: memoria de investigación lingüística aplicada

Resumen:

La presente memoria de investigación constituye un acercamiento a la Lingüística Aplicada a la enseñanza de idiomas a través de sus orígenes y del nacimiento de los primeros estudios científicos, siguiendo las principales líneas de investigación hasta nuestro siglo. De este modo, el trabajo se inicia con unas consideraciones sobre la adquisición de segundas lenguas en el contexto de la Lingüística Aplicada, y a continuación aborda los inicios de la investigación de la mano del Análisis Contrastivo, el Análisis de Errores y los trabajos sobre Interlengua. La segunda mitad del trabajo trata de las orientaciones actuales de la investigación, centrada en el Análisis de la Actuación, el Análisis del Discurso, el estudio de las variables del aprendiz y el enfoque social de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de idiomas.

Resumen:

El  presente  artículoes  el  resultado  de  una  investigación  pilotada  entre  estudiantes universitarios que pretende observar qué método gramatical, explícito o implícito, es más eficaz en el aprendizaje y adquisición de una L2. El estudio de campo se ha realizado en dos grupos de estudiantes  homogéneos  y  paralelos  en  el  marco  de  la  asignatura Español  económico  y empresarial. Para  ello  se  han  diseñado  materiales  idénticos  en  el  contenido  y  con  un  enfoque por tareas, pero con un método de gramática distinto en cada uno de los grupos, de forma que pudiera llevarse a cabo una visión contrastiva de los resultados.

Resumen:

Extended oral production has seldom been used to explore adjectival and verbal agreement in L2 Spanish. This study examines oral narrations to compare the agreement behavior, speech rates, and patterns of errors of highly proficient Spanish heritage and L2 learners (early and late bilinguals, respectively), whose L1 is English, with those of native controls. Although both bilingual groups displayed high agreement accuracy scores, only the early bilinguals performed at or close to ceiling. In addition, the L2 learners spoke significantly more slowly than the heritage and native speakers, who displayed similar speech rates. Explanations accounting for the differences in speech rates and agreement accuracy include age of acquisition of Spanish, syntactic distance between a noun and its adjective, and task effects. All of these factors...

Resumen:

This chapter introduces the rationale behind a social network analytic (SNA) approach in the context of second language acquisition (SLA). The conceptual overview presents ways of operationalising social graphs and common metrics used in the calculations, supported by illustrative examples. We then argue for merging quantitative SNA with qualitative data. Subsequently, we showcase findings from the PEERLANG project (Paradowski et al., 2021) investigating the influence of peer out-of-class interactions on SLA in two different contexts: among international participants in intensive summer language courses (multilingual ?immersion? scenario), and stationary foreign language majors (?no immersion?). We reveal patterns emerging from both contexts, demonstrating the role that mobility plays in network dynamics, and how both factors together...

Resumen:

Índice
A major challenge in language teacher education is finding materials that clearly articulate the common ground among theoretical concepts, research findings, and classroom practices. This book aims to help educators make a direct connection between second language acquisition (SLA) principles and the reality of language classrooms. Rather than trying to address every aspect of SLA and pedagogy, which would result in an overwhelming amount of information, the goal of this book is to help world language educators understand how they can develop materials or implement classroom strategies that are informed by core principles of SLA. This book was authored with language educators in mind, first and foremost. Key concepts are...

Temas: libro diferencias cognitivas

Resumen:

This book presents comprehensive, thorough and updated analyses of key cognitive individual difference factors (e.g., age, intelligence, language aptitude, working memory, metacognition, learning strategies, and anxiety) as they relate to the acquisition, processing, assessment, and pedagogy of second or foreign languages. Critical reviews and in-depth research syntheses of these pivotal cognitive learner factors are put into historical and broader contexts, drawing upon the multiple authors' extensive research experience, penetrating insights and unique perspectives spanning applied linguistics, teacher training, educational psychology, and cognitive science. The carefully crafted chapters provide essential course readings and valuable references for seasoned researchers and aspiring postgraduate students in the broad fields of...
