Resumen:

To avoid plagiarism, students have to learn the appropriate and effective ways of source text use, such as paraphrasing, summarizing, and citation. However, few studies have investigated how learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) employ copy and paraphrase as source text use strategies in completing writing tasks involving reading material, and how characteristics of the reading material, such as genre, affect such use. This article reports an empirical study that attempted to address the issue. Eighty students from an undergraduate program of a Chinese university wrote summaries for a narrative text and an expository text. Their drafts and the source texts are compared to identify instances of retention of strings of words from sources. Analysis of the summary scripts showed that participants heavily relied on the source...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: feedback/retroalimentación

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...

Resumen:

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo exponer cómo y por qué usar los textos redactados por alumnos para diseñar actividades didácticas de E/LE. Para ello se esbozarán en primer lugar los principios cognitivos que subyacen al proceso de expresión escrita y que deben contemplarse al diseñar materiales. En segundo lugar se ofrecerán ejemplos prácticos de actividades creadas íntegramente a partir de redacciones de universitarios alemanes para la práctica de competencias lingüísticas (gramática y léxico). Para concluir se indagarán las posibilidades de tratar contenidos comunicativos y culturales en los materiales creados a partir de las redacciones de alumnos.

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: factores afectivos

Resumen:

This study examines the evolution and regulation of group-level enjoyment of online collaborative language learning. Three Chinese undergraduate learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) collaborated to finish a series of English writing tasks via an online group enabled by WeChat, a popular social instant messaging app in Chinese-speaking communities. The data were collected in three sessions over a single semester using an idiodynamic approach for participants’ ratings of enjoyment intensity and stimulated recall interviews for participants’ descriptions of emotion regulation types. The data were analysed using deductive qualitative thematic analysis and quantitative descriptive analysis...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

The widespread availability of generative artificial intelligence tools has had a dramatic effect on language education, transforming how we think about and go about writing. This includes ‘multimodal composing’, which combines moving image, soundtrack, speech, and on-screen writing in digital communication. In this article, we focus on the potentials and pitfalls of generative artificial intelligence in a pedagogy of digital multimodal composing. The article aims to explore how the affordances and constraints of generative artificial intelligence tools powerfully shape the multimodal composing process in a way that enables or constrains individual agency, creativity, and criticality; and...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: tiempos verbales

Resumen:

El nivel de competencia lingüística de los estudiantes rifeños en español puede afectar a su capacidad para producir textos escritos precisos y coherentes. Esto sucede especialmente en el nivel B1, donde se espera que los estudiantes sean capaces de expresarse de forma clara y efectiva en español, tanto en términos de gramática como de vocabulario, de modo que puedan desenvolverse lingüísticamente de forma adecuada en distintos contextos. Las insuficiencias que presentan los aprendices rifeños a la hora de utilizar los tiempos de pasado en español se podrían clasificar en confusiones dentro del paradigma verbal del pasado (tanto entre el pretérito perfecto y el indefinido, como entre el...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Resumen:

According to positive psychology (PP), positive emotions contribute to language learning by helping learners recognize their strengths and overcome obstacles. One form of PP is altruism (altruistic teaching), which requires teaching without self-focus. The present study aimed to investigate how altruism affects the emotions and second language (L2) summary writing skills of Iranian L2 learners, drawing on an experimental (comparison group, pretest–posttest) design within a sequential explanatory design. The participants of the study were 130 Iranian learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) with B1 general English language proficiency who were assigned to one intervention and one comparison group, and underwent the intervention and control intervention, respectively. Both the intervention and control intervention involved an...

Profiles of Chinese graduate students’ English writing self-efficacy: Associations with writing self-regulated learning strategies, writing performance, and demographic features

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: enseñanza/aprendizaje de lenguas

Resumen:

Previous research has highlighted the pivotal role of self-efficacy in English writing proficiency among various cultures and educational levels. In higher education, particularly at the graduate level, writing proficiency is crucial for academic success and professional development. Therefore, it is essential to understand factors that influence writing proficiency, such as self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies. However, there is a gap in research on how distinct profiles of a combination of self-efficacy in writing and self-efficacy in self-regulation among graduate students correlate with the use of SRL strategies, writing performance, and demographic features. To fill this gap, we examined the English writing self-efficacy profiles among 1,308 Chinese graduate students and explored how these profiles are...

Resumen:

El presente proyecto pretende utilizar los cuentos y narraciones populares como forma de acercamiento a la literatura y como herramienta de mejora de la expresión escrita y, especialmente, de la producción oral. Si bien puede dirigirse a diferentes perfiles de aprendientes, hemos centrado su aplicación para sinohablantes: no en vano, el proyecto surgió trabajando la asignatura de Literatura española con un grupo de estudiantes de origen taiwanés. Ante la dificultad que encontramos en el tratamiento de textos literarios contemporáneos, creamos un plan de acción alternativo consistente en la simplificación de contenidos y en la realización de diferentes actividades relacionadas con la literatura de...

Motivational languaging intervention for L2 learners: The differential effect of individual and group writing

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: motivación

Resumen:

This study aims to enhance second language (L2) learners’ motivation and facilitate successful L2 learning by using motivational languaging, an intervention that encourages learners to reflect on, and externalize, their L2-speaking, competent future self-concepts by writing or speaking about them. Two types of effective languaging activities were developed: individual and group writing. Participants were 264 Grade 10 high school students, divided into three groups: one control group and two experimental groups. Using activity workbooks, the first experimental group engaged in ‘individual writing’ guided by a series of questions in their workbooks (e.g. reasons for learning English and their ideal images of using English). The second experimental group carried out ‘group writing’, including group discussions and writing of group...
