Temas: artículo study abroad

Resumen:

This synthesis paper reviews the literature on the acquisition of second language (L2) grammar and vocabulary during study abroad, with a focus on Spanish as the target language. We begin by discussing research that has compared L2 development between traditional, classroom-based environments and study abroad contexts. This work suggests that domains of language learning (e.g., pronunciations, vocabulary, grammar) can be differentially affected by these two learning environments, with some domains showing stronger development in one context than the other. On this backdrop, we review the insights that studies of L2 Spanish offer on vocabulary and grammar development during short-term and longer-term sojourns abroad. Thereafter, we consider factors affecting such development where they have been investigated such as language contact...

El presente estudio examina la influencia del tipo de contexto de aprendizaje formal en el léxico disponible de estudiantes de ELE. Se distinguen dos contextos de aprendizaje formales de LE, el convencional, centrado exclusivamente en la enseñanza de la LE, y el contexto de aprendizaje integrado de contenido (AICLE), que se refiere a cualquier contexto educativo en el que se usa la LE como medio de aprendizaje de contenidos no lingüísticos. Se ha mostrado que el tipo de contexto de aprendizaje formal influye en el aprendizaje de la LE de diferentes maneras y se han destacado los beneficios del enfoque AICLE para el desarrollo del vocabulario. Para explorar esta relación, se examinaron la productividad léxica y las redes semánticas...

Resumen:

Synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) offers second/foreign language (L2/FL) learners' interactional environments that are unique to face-to-face (F2F) communication. Such modes have the potential to facilitate better learning outcomes under certain conditions. The aim of this study was to compare the capacity of two online modes – text chat and voice chat – to promote uptake of targeted vocabulary in an English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom setting. Three distinct tasks (opinion exchange, dictogloss, problem-solving task) were used to measure the effectiveness of both modes to facilitate immediate and delayed uptake compared to F2F communication. The study investigated: (1) how task design and communication mode affected EFL uptake; (2) the effect time allocation had; and (3) the degree to which task perceptions...

Resumen:

This study explored a possible impact of extensive reading (ER) on vocabulary learning. Participants were 62 English majors who entered a private university in Japan in April 2019 and experienced ER for 13 months. They took the Productive Vocabulary Levels Test at the 2,000-word level 3 times: in April, December and May 2020. The outcomes of paired t-tests with Bonferroni correction revealed that participants achieved higher scores on the 2nd test, but their performance deteriorated on the final test. The model yielded by multiple regression analysis was comprised of the number of series participants read books from and the average percentage grade of MReader quizzes they passed, whose contribution to the post test scores was 14.1%. Follow-up tests were run between 12 students who retained or improved their scores on the delayed test...

Resumen:

This study presents a teaching intervention to maximize the learning of a set of target words (TW) in learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) in a secondary school by means of intentional vocabulary learning activities and additional captioned television (TV) viewing. In the course of one academic year, two groups of grade 10 EFL learners (N = 64) were introduced to new TWs each week through language-focused exercises. The experimental group (n = 33) was additionally exposed to a captioned TV series where these TWs appeared. To measure lexical growth, all students took pre- and post-tests evaluating both TW form and meaning recall. Vocabulary retention was measured with an eight-month delayed post-test. Results revealed that vocabulary was mainly learned intentionally, but that additional viewing of the captioned TV series...

Temas: artículo aprendizaje incidental del vocabulario

Resumen:

The current study investigated the interaction between task-induced involvement load and the languages used in vocabulary glosses on incidental second language (L2) word learning in low proficiency learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). Using computer-based tasks, the study also probed whether a task with a higher level of involvement load promoted a greater learner engagement with unfamiliar words, as measured by their hypertext gloss lookup frequencies. A total of 160 Thai EFL learners were equally divided into five task conditions based on the relative level of involvement load (low, high) and type of target word gloss (no glosses, L1 glosses, L2 glosses). The findings suggest that a task with a higher level of involvement load and first language (L1) glosses is most conducive to L2 word learning and that gloss language...

Resumen:

Vocabulary learning is basic for mastering a foreign language. Many students learn foreign language (FL) vocabulary via instructional videos outside of traditional classrooms, as there is no limit to time or space. Cues (e.g. coloring, highlighting, arrows, and text) are design features in instructional videos that not only guide learners' attention, but also facilitate the organization and integration of information. However, little is known about how visual cues and text cues influence FL vocabulary learning from instructional videos. In Experiment 1, we tested the effects of synonym text cues presented before the instructional video and visual cues during the video. Effects were measured in terms of participants' judgments of learning and objective measures of learning performance (indicated by accuracy on immediate and delayed...

While research suggests that vocabulary learning through task completion is more effective than direct instruction, the underlying cause of this advantage—whether task involvement load (IL) or time spent on tasks—remains unclear. Extending the work of Hill and Laufer (2003, International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 41, 87–106), this study examines the effects of IL and employs eye-tracking to investigate how time spent on tasks, target words, and context, as well as regressions to targets, influence incidental vocabulary acquisition. Seventy-three second-language (L2) English learners were...

Resumen:

Vocabulario y enseñanza del español se adentra en la naturaleza y la adquisición del léxico, su relevancia en el dominio lingüístico y comunicativo, y, en consecuencia, su peso en la enseñanza de segundas lenguas.

En primer lugar, este libro profundiza en los diferentes rasgos de las palabras, en las relaciones que estas establecen entre sí, con la gramática y con el contexto para conformar el mensaje de todo texto y articular la interacción. A continuación, se abordan los aspectos y factores involucrados en el proceso de adquisición de las unidades léxicas. Todo este análisis pone de manifiesto las complejas tareas a las que se enfrentan los aprendientes durante el proceso de adquisición de una lengua y, en particular, de su vocabulario. Para resolverlas, se proponen orientaciones metodológicas que parten de las...
