Cultural meaning-making in challenging interactions in L2 Spanish: language teachers’ perceptions

Lori Czerwionka, Gerrard Mugford (2020)

En Journal of Spanish Language Teaching 7.2

Some challenges to intercultural communication prevent intercultural interactions altogether, while others can prevent effective and successful communication during an intercultural exchange. This article addresses a key challenge within intercultural interactions: cultural meaning-making. This is a process that requires both communicative and intercultural competence and encompasses the interdependent and ever-present relationships between language, culture, and worldviews. Considering the important role of language teachers in second language (L2) learners’ cultural meaning-making development in challenging interactions that may be faced by learners in the target language community, the current pilot study elicits teachers’ perceptions of linguistic and cultural resources required by their students to engage in challenging interactions and focuses on the pedagogical approaches employed by them to foster cultural meaning-making in challenging interactions. Three types of challenging situations were examined: difficult situations (uncomfortable or even hostile for the students); impolite situations (those that may be rude or impolite); and situations of imposition (those that involve imposition on the student or another person, e.g., requests, commands, favors). Results indicated teachers’ reliance on certain resources involved in cultural meaning-making and a general absence of a theoretical approach to intercultural communication.

Existen desafíos inherentes a la comunicación intercultural que impiden totalmente las interacciones, mientras que otros representan un obstáculo para una comunicación efectiva. Este artículo aborda un desafío crucial de dichas interacciones: la construcción de significados culturalmente limitados, un proceso que requiere competencias comunicativas e interculturales, en el que se manifiestan las relaciones interdependientes entre lenguaje, cultura y visión del mundo. Considerando el papel de los profesores de lengua en cómo los estudiantes construyen significados culturalmente limitados al abordar interacciones complejas en la comunidad de la L2, el presente estudio piloto explora las percepciones docentes sobre los recursos lingüísticos y culturales necesarios para que los alumnos participen en interacciones desafiantes, así como enfoques pedagógicos para que estos sean capaces de construir significados. Se examinaron tres tipos de situaciones desafiantes: situaciones incómodas (difíciles de resolver e incluso hostiles para los alumnos); situaciones descorteses (aquellas que se pueden percibir como de poca educación); y situaciones de imposición (aquellas que implican imposición al estudiante o a otra persona, por ejemplo, peticiones, órdenes, favores). Los resultados sugieren que los docentes confían en recursos propios de la construcción de significados, pero también que no parten de un enfoque teórico para la comunicación intercultural.

Intercultural and Transcultural Awareness in Language Teaching

Will Baker (2022)

The central aim of language teaching is typically to prepare learners to communicate through the language learnt. However, much current language teaching theory and practice is based on a simplistic view of communication that fails to match the multilingual and intercultural reality of the majority of second language (L2) use. This Element examines the relationship between language and culture through an L2 in intercultural and transcultural communication. It puts forward the argument that we need to go beyond communicative competence in language teaching and focus instead on intercultural and transcultural awareness. Implications for pedagogic practice are explored including intercultural and transcultural language education.

Mediación y competencia comunicativa intercultural en la enseñanza del español LE/L2

Isabel Iglesias Casal, Carmen Ramos Méndez (2021)

En Journal of Spanish Language Teaching 7.2

Texto completo

Si tenemos en cuenta que la movilidad transnacional y los contactos interpersonales se han incrementado exponencialmente en las últimas décadas, no resulta extraño que de manera paralela haya crecido el interés por la investigación sobre interculturalidad en el ámbito de la enseñanza de lenguas. Una de las principales motivaciones que ha conducido a desarrollar este tipo de investigación tiene que ver con la necesidad cada vez más acuciante de adquirir competencia intercultural, tanto en entornos personales, como en los profesionales y educativos. A ello se añade la creciente exigencia en las sociedades digitalizadas de comunicarse de forma eficaz e interculturalmente adecuada, también en entornos virtuales.

Models of Telecollaboration (2): Cultura

Jesús Suárez García, James Crapotta (2007)

En Online Intercultural Exchange. An Introduction for Foreign Language Teachers

The model of telecollaboration described in this chapter, Cultura, is one whose focus is precisely that of intercultural competence. Its methodology integrates culture into the language classroom by facilitating the direct communication between two groups of learners from different cultures and the comparison of those cultures. We will describe the principles and practices of Cultura and examine its implementation in an ongoing exchange between classes at Barnard College in New York and the University of Leo´n in Spain.
