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 classroom, grounded in the...

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...

Resumen:

Partimos del supuesto epistemológico de que el desarrollo de las competencias interculturales implica un proceso comunicativo dinámico, con una participación y análisis críticos, que se puede dar no solo entre personas con distintas culturas de origen geográfico o nacional ?como desde una visión esencialista se postula?, sino que también deben contemplarse otras variables (edad, formación, profesión, género, etc.). Se parte, pues, de una concepción dinámica, heterogénea, volátil y crítica de la cultura, de la identidad y, por ende, de la interculturalidad. Tales conceptos se han convertido en objeto de estudio transversal de diversas disciplinas y corrientes teóricas, fundamentalmente en la denominada interculturalidad renovada, que comparte patrones con la interculturalidad crítica y los Estudios Críticos del Discurso, entre otros....

Resumen:

The need for foreign language teachers to acquire Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) arises both from recent changes to their role and from the current context of increased globalisation and society?s enhanced awareness of interculturality. Faced with such transformations, foreign language classrooms require a specific and systematic integration of the intercultural dimension. However, teacher development programmes rarely include content related to the acquisition of ICC either by teachers or learners. This paper aims to fill that gap by offering guidelines for the development of training courses for L2 teachers of Spanish and contribute to enhance their professional profile. The proposal, which considers both teaching competences and generic professional skills, is designed to be applied to diverse target groups or...

El presente trabajo tiene como meta investigar la cultura como un constructo discursivo en torno a la lengua española en el contexto del aprendizaje y la enseñanza de español como lengua segunda o extranjera (ELE). Parte de una cuestión simple al respecto: ¿por qué esta cultura hispanohablante y no otra? Para poder responderla es necesario analizar primero cómo se conceptualiza la cultura en relación con la lengua en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de lenguas (EAL). El español requiere, adicionalmente, aclarar cómo se puede considerar la cultura respecto a una lengua pluricéntrica. En concreto, se analizará aquí cómo construyen discursivamente los materiales (manuales) la cultura del mundo hispanohablante en relación con la...
