Resumen:

The integration of humor into Spanish Language Teaching (SLT) classes continues to be a complex task today, although it is a pragmatic phenomenon which deserves to be represented in the Spanish classroom in the same way as other elements of communicative competence. Previous theoretical and methodological foundations are not enough to propose new directions of research that become keys for teaching and learning humor. The main aim of this paper is to present several curricular itineraries of research that can shed light on its treatment. After a general review of the concept of humor and how it has been reflected in the CEFR (both 2001 and 2021 versions) and the Common Curricular Framework of the Cervantes Institute (PCIC), three curricular itineraries are proposed: humor as an instrument of the affective dimension; humor and its...

Resumen:

The aim of this study was to test a model of second language (L2) boredom based on coping self-efficacy (CSE), foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and mindfulness among English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. In so doing, 456 EFL learners from Iran took part in this study by completing an online survey which included scales tapping into the four latent constructs under investigation. Two-step structural equation modelling was utilized to analyse the data and examine the associations among the constructs. Results revealed that CSE and mindfulness positively affected FLE. Also, FLE was a direct negative predictor of L2 boredom. Concerning the mediation hypotheses, FLE was found to fully mediate the effect of mindfulness on boredom. However, FLE was a partial mediator between CSE and boredom. These findings provide a basis for...

Resumen:

Given that the classroom is a social context that can either satisfy or frustrate learner motivation, pedagogical strategies bound by controlling evaluative frameworks, such as traditional grading systems (TGS), provide little support for long-term learning. This is especially concerning in the world language (WL) classroom where successful learning outcomes are determined by both affective and contextual factors. To this end, this action research examines the design and implementation of an ungrading pedagogical framework we have titled Contract-Based Ungrading (CBU), in order to explore how evaluative systems interplay with motivational factors in the WL classroom. Data sources included teacher and learner artifacts as well as anonymous questionnaires, analyzed using content analysis and extreme case sampling. Following a...
