Resumen:

En este trabajo se presentan aspectos de la enseñanza escolar del español a/con estudiantes indígenas en el marco de las políticas actuales de reconocimiento y resistencia de los pueblos indígenas. Hacemos referencia a los casos de México y Argentina, que muestran trayectorias y experiencias distintas, pero convergen en aspectos de la situación sociopolítica y pedagógica de las lenguas indígenas y del español como segunda lengua (L2). Postulamos que la educación escolar indígena constituye un espacio público institucional a través del cual se han aplicado diversas propuestas gubernamentales de la interculturalidad en los subsistemas indígenas en México (llamada actualmente educación indígena, intercultural y bilingüe) y en Argentina (la modalidad Educación Bilingüe Intercultural, EBI). En ambos casos, analizamos las relaciones entre...

Resumen:

Few studies have analyzed the writing features of second language (L2) alongside heritage language (HL) learners of Spanish. Focusing on the development of writing complexity, we collected data from students at the beginning and at the end of a composition sequence.

Our findings suggest that, given sufficient time, both HL and L2 students can progress in similar ways in at least some measures of linguistic complexity. Nevertheless, they might gain from instruction that facilitates new and diverse vocabulary, and the construction of longer sentences. L2 students specifically would benefit from greater emphasis on the subjunctive. Our study supports the...

Resumen:

Spoken as a foreign language by around 24 million people worldwide, Spanish can be the second language (L2) of monolingually raised learners who acquire it in school. Ever more often it is also the third or a further language (L3) of learners who have previously studied another foreign language (for example Spanish after English in Germany) or who acquired more than one language during early childhood, as is the case with heritage speakers. This book explores the intersections between linguistics and language pedagogy related to the acquisition of L2 and L3 Spanish in various contexts worldwide. Fostering the interdisciplinary dialogue, it combines contributions by linguists and specialists in didactics, which not only examine the interface between basic linguistic and applied research but also develop proposals and materials for...
