Resumen:

This study investigates the effects of pre-task planning on English as a second language (ESL) learners’ engagement in oral tasks in the face-to-face real-time communication (FTF) and synchronous video-based computer-mediated communication (SvCMC) modes. A total of 36 ESL learners performed two decision-making tasks (with versus without pre-task planning) in dyads in the FTF or the SvCMC mode. Their oral discourse of tasks was analysed via seven indicators in terms of behavioral, cognitive and social engagement. Their emotional engagement was captured via an interview immediately after the task performance. As the results showed, pre-task planning did not significantly affect the learners’ behavioral, cognitive and social engagement in either the FTF or the SvCMC condition. In SvCMC, more negotiations on content were produced when...

Resumen:

This systematic review examines existing empirical second language studies on the approaches to conceptualizing and measuring online second language learner engagement in technology-mediated second-language learning/teaching settings, identifying strengths and limitations of current measures and outlining potential improvements. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) procedure, we conducted a systematic review of empirical studies on online second language learner engagement. The review focused on several key areas, including the characteristics of second language research investigating online learner engagement, the ways in which the concept of online learner engagement is conceptualized, the indicators used to operationalize it, and the primary areas of focus and key findings emerging...

The majority of recent research studies show the emotional state of language learners at the onset of the Covid-19. Although the language students themselves identified issues limiting their learning, such as lack of interaction, lack of motivation and feedback, isolation, problems with the Internet, language teachers have admitted their concerns about students learning and confessed to being flexible, tolerant, and more humane. Today, there is a need to follow up on those student issues regarding their language learning beyond the Spring of 2020. This paper sheds light on the evolution of life, emotions, and wellbeing of the students, and their language learning beyond the rapid...

Resumen:

Language negotiations facilitate second language acquisition (SLA) in both face-to-face (FTF) and computer-mediated interactions. Research shows that dyadic type can impact the quantity and quality of negotiations. Although both learner (L)-learner and native speaker (NS)-L dyadic type interactions have shown to be beneficial to SLA, it is still unclear which dyadic type is more effective for second language (L2) development in FTF and computer-mediated interactions. To fill this gap, this quantitative study compares FTF versus text-synchronous-computer-mediated communication (SCMC) task-based interactions by examining the following question: Is there a significant difference in the (1) frequency of negotiations and (2) effect of negotiations on subsequent L2 development in FTF interactions compared with text-SCMC in the following...

This study investigates the impact of online versus in-person learning environments on the motivation of beginning-level Spanish students. Using a modified Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB), data were collected from 18 students enrolled in a 15-week Basic Spanish Skills course. Quantitative analysis revealed a clear preference for in-person classes, with students reporting greater enjoyment, engagement, and motivation compared to online sessions, which were described as less stimulating and less enjoyable. The teacher's role in fostering a supportive, engaging classroom environment was found to significantly enhance student motivation. These findings underscore the importance of...

This study investigates how Spanish heritage language (SHL) learners, and second language (L2) learners cognitively and socially engage with texts through collaborative digital annotations. Conducted in two advanced online writing courses with forty students, the study employed Perusall, a social annotation platform, to examine reading behaviors and peer interactions. Quantitative analysis revealed both similarities and differences in strategy use: while both groups demonstrated equal levels of interaction, SHL learners favored Evaluating and Connecting strategies, suggesting reflective, experience-based engagement, whereas L2 learners more frequently used Questioning and Translating strategies, indicating a more...

Resumen:

This volume offers a rich overview of current research and teaching strategies for the integration of technology into language teaching and learning. It introduces the Planning, Personalization and Implementation (PPI) methodological framework to support educators in engaging with the theoretical foundations and innovative practices that should guide the incorporation of technology into their teaching practices. While Spanish language teaching is used as an example, the recommendations can be applied to any language learning contexts.

The 13 chapters address a broad range of themes including accessibility, curriculum design, teacher attitudes, motivation, anxiety and feedback, and offer guidance on using digital tools such as podcasts, gamification and artificial intelligence. Written by an international group of scholars, this...

Hoy en día existen variadas teorías que resultar ser la superación de los métodos tradicionales en la enseñanza de las lenguas. Una de ellas ha emergido como una estrategia que ofrece cambios novedosos, modificando la forma en la que convencionalmente la educación tradicional en donde se presentaba el conocimiento a través de un monologo manejado por el profesor. Se trata de la llamada metodología Flipped Classroom, su importancia se basa en la posibilidad de activar en los estudiantes el interés por el conocimiento, promoviendo el desarrollo de las competencias involucrándolos en el aprendizaje de una forma novedosa y activa.

Al considerar el contexto que ocupa a esta investigación, es...
