Resumen:

Integrating improved technologies such as augmented reality (AR) within flipped classes has gained popularity among scholars. This study was carried out to examine the effect of AR-based instruction on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ speaking skills in online flipped and face-to-face classes. To this end, out of 65 students who had enrolled in the designated language program, 50 students were selected by the researcher based on their performance on the Cambridge English Placement test, and the selected participants were randomly assigned into the face-to-face or online flipped groups. For the treatment, both groups received the same AR application, teaching material, and teaching strategies. The only difference between the two groups was the learning context. After the treatment sessions, both the online flipped and face...

La interacción oral ha permanecido marginada en la enseñanza de lenguas a distancia, tanto en el aula como fuera de ella con tareas que consisten en ejercicios escritos. Presentamos una propuesta didáctica basada en la combinación del enfoque por tareas y del enfoque léxico para estudiantes de ELE de nivel A1, en un entorno de enseñanza a distancia digital, centrada en la interacción oral. Unimos sincronía y asincronía para proponer que es posible la práctica de esta destreza en cursos de ELE a distancia, tanto en tiempo real como con la asignación de tareas orales, como defiende Méndez García (2010), mediante cuatro herramientas tecnológicas: Zoom, Flipgrid, Voxopop y WhatsApp. El resultado es...

Resumen:

This qualitative case study investigates the impact of multimodal feedback on the narrative writing development of undergraduate ESL students in an online learning context. Narrative writing requires the integration of linguistic accuracy, rhetorical organization, and emotional expression, areas where ESL learners often face significant challenges. Traditional written feedback, while useful, can lack the clarity, engagement, and personalization needed to support complex revisions. This study involved eight ESL undergraduates who completed three narrative writing tasks over a 14-week period, producing 48 essays in total. Each task included initial and revised drafts informed by multimodal feedback delivered via written comments, video conferencing sessions, and screencast recordings. Data were analyzed using qualitative content...

Este trabajo pretende abordar algunas características que se hacen necesarias a la hora de diseñar ejercicios de español para extranjeros en entornos virtuales en los que se practique la expresión escrita. Es importante tener en cuenta que en enseñanzas no presenciales de lenguas extranjeras la tentación del «copia-pega» desde diferentes fuentes puede jugar a los estudiantes malas pasadas. Por eso, a la hora de configurar ejercicios y actividades que evalúen la competencia escrita en cursos universitarios online, se deben considerar, además, criterios específicos que eviten estas sugestivas malas praxis.

Resumen:

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted language teaching and learning environments. The current study explored how language teachers have adapted to post-COVID-19 classrooms. It also examined the ways in which their experiences during the pandemic influenced their teaching. Drawing on an ecological perspective toward language teacher agency (LTA), this study interviewed 10 less commonly taught language (LCTL) teachers to explore their expectations, preparations, and teaching strategies for post-COVID-19 classrooms. In addition, it aimed to discern the challenges encountered by teachers, their approaches to overcoming them, and the consequential influence of these experiences on their overall perspective of language teaching. The findings revealed mixed feelings among the teachers regarding returning to in-person instruction,...

Resumen:

As one variant of the conventional flipped model, online flipped learning is increasingly implemented and it becomes important to explore how learners may be ready for it and how learner readiness may relate to motivation, attitude, and support. Informed by a multidimensional conceptualization of learner readiness and motivation and engagement, this study investigates the current situation of learner readiness, focusing on the moderating roles of learner attitude and environmental support in moderating the interrelationships between learner readiness and motivation and engagement in online flipped learning. Based on survey responses from 6,364 English learners across 11 Chinese universities, the results reveal that the students exhibited a generally high level of readiness for online flipped learning, though with significant...

Resumen:

The present study investigated the effects of integrating the flipped classroom (FC) with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on intermediate English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ writing, measured in complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). To this end, 60 university students with intermediate proficiency in English were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The former experienced the FC integrated with MOOCs; the latter underwent traditional face-to-face classes. All participants took two essay writing tests: one at the beginning of the study as the pretest and another at the end as the posttest. The results showed that integrating the FC with MOOCs had a significantly positive effect on the experimental group’s writing in terms of CAF and its subcomponents. However, there was no significant difference...

Resumen:

Developing teachers’ professional agency through standard models of instructional designs is critical in helping them deal with the barriers in designing and implementing online learning environments. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the role of an ADDIE (Analysis–Design–Development–Implementation–Evaluation) model of the computer-assisted language learning (CALL) teacher preparation program (TPP) in developing TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) student-teachers’ professional agency (PA). We conducted an instrumental (exploratory) case study to explore the PA development of 18 TEFL student-teachers who took a CALL course that was designed based on ADDIE. The deductive thematic analysis of student-teachers’ autobiographical narratives, unstructured interviews, and course projects showed that each stage of...

Resumen:

This study investigates the occurrence of students’ language alternation practices during second language (L2) book talk. The data were collected at a voluntary book club for learning English at a university in Korea. The book club was implemented using Zoom. In this context, using multimodal conversation analysis, I highlight instances in which students successfully construct their book talk in English (their L2) but go further by providing translations in Korean (their first language), thus doing repair to deal with (potential) problems of understanding and speaking. The findings show that through these self-repair practices of translation the student-speakers are not only (1) pursuing mutual understanding with the recipients but also (2) managing their turn construction in their doing of book talk. I argue that through these...
