Resumen:

Es bien sabido que para el correcto aprendizaje de una lengua, además de conocer las reglas gramaticales, el léxico y demás normas formales, también se debe conocer la cultura relacionada con la misma. La cuestión principal cuando se trata este asunto es qué cultura llevar al aula, pregunta que se acentúa cuando tratamos las lenguas de especialidad. El presente artículo trata de definir qué son las lenguas de especialidad en general y de presentar las características del español jurídico en concreto. Además, y en consonancia con lo mencionado anteriormente, también se trata la "cultura profesional", es decir, los usos y costumbres que tienen los operadores jurídicos españoles en el ejercicio de su profesión. Además de este enfoque teórico, también se plantea una propuesta de intervención, concretamente, se trata de una unidad...

Due to competing demands of university students, short-term study abroad trips are on the rise. The present study is the only study that has explored a trip of less than one week and the ways in which L2 participants have developed their intercultural competence daily. This study was small in scale, since only two second language (L2) learners of Spanish studied abroad. In addition, this study used Merriam—s (1998) case study framework to illuminate the case of two L2 learners and their short-term fiveday study abroad experience. Analyses of surveys and Deardorff—s (2012) Intercultural Competence (IC) self-reflection, coupled with field notes, revealed that participants' daily fluctuations of up to 18.7% did...

Resumen:

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.

Microaggressions are subtle offensive mechanisms that can be intentional or unintentional (Pierce, 1970). For the past 50 years, researchers have documented their damaging effects on peoples' mental and physical health. In this report, we focus on microaggressions in the Spanish classroom and with Latino/Latinx/Hispanic students, including their damaging effects within the context of changing demographics in the United States, how they impact our language classrooms, and how they can be mitigated through language curricula that promote intercultural citizenship. Also, we share strategies and suggestions to counter microaggressions in the language...

Resumen:

This book demonstrates the positive impact of using film and audiovisual material in the language classroom. The chapters are evidence-based and address different levels and contexts of learning around the world. They demonstrate the benefits of using moving images and films to develop intercultural awareness and promote multilingualism, and suggest Audiovisual Translation (AVT) activities and projects to enhance language learning. The book will be a valuable continuing professional development resource for language teachers and those involved in curriculum development, as well as bringing the latest research, theory and pedagogical techniques to teacher training courses.

Resumen:

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...
