Resumen:

This study focuses on understanding language teachers? lived experiences of their stressors and positive uplifts from a holistic perspective covering their professional lives in school, their personal lives beyond, and the connection between the two. The aim was to explore the nature of teachers? experiences of stress and how they spilled over from work into home domains. We also were keen to understand the dynamics of their experiences of stress and how their perception of daily stressors was related to their overall sense of wellbeing as well as their life and chronic stressors. The data were collected via a specially created app, which collected survey data and experience sampling method (ESM) data from language teachers across the globe. Teachers? wellbeing was investigated using the PERMA Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016), their...

Resumen:

Recent research indicated the effectiveness of immediate and delayed corrective feedback (CF) on second language (L2) learning. What is little known is the moderating effects of learner individual factors such as foreign language anxiety (FLA) on the efficacy of immediate and delayed CF. The primary aim of the present study is thus to investigate if learners? FLA can moderate the effectiveness of immediate and delayed feedback. To this end, 82 learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) were randomly assigned to two treatment conditions as well as a control group. During three treatment sessions, the participants performed storytelling tasks in groups of four and received either immediate or delayed metalinguistic feedback for the errors they made. Regarding the immediate feedback condition, each participant received...

At the turn of the new millennium, in an article published in Language Teaching Research in 2000, Dörnyei and Kormos proposed that ?active learner engagement is a key concern? for all instructed language learning. Since then, language engagement research has increased exponentially. In this article, we present a systematic review of 20 years of language engagement research. To ensure robust coverage, we searched 21 major journals on second language acquisition (SLA) and applied linguistics and identified 112 reports satisfying our inclusion criteria. The results of our analysis of these reports highlighted the...

As emotions research in the field of second language acquisition continues to evolve, it is equally important to explore the impact of social?emotional variables that are specifically relevant to heritage language (HL) contexts. Anchoring on foundations in critical heritage language education (HLE), this study examines the discomforts of the HL classroom from a diverse heritage speaker (HS) perspective. Additionally, comforts that support the HL classroom as a safe space for emotional security and well-being for HSs across HLs are explored. Examining the HL classroom from the perspective of HL practices and knowledge systems, this study ultimately aims to: (a) outline the emotional complexity of HL pedagogical spaces, and (b...

Resumen:

This book brings together 18 theoretical and empirical chapters that analyse the role of emotion (expression, perception, processing) and identity (notions and representations, construction, conflict) in the process of learning a second language. Studies on the differences in emotionality between L1 and L2 suggest that in L2 there is an alteration that, in many cases, manifests itself as a decrease in the affective load, which can lead to a certain indifference to the emotional content transmitted and to a lesser involvement in communication. It is also known that emotion plays a fundamental role in the construction of identity in a second language in the shaping of the self that feels and communicates and in the ability to cope with the learning process.

Most of the studies have focused on the understanding of these issues in...

Este artículo analiza el grado y el tipo de motivación en 97 estudiantes de español L2 universitarios en un programa de estudios en el extranjero (PREE). También indaga sobre el efecto del contacto con hispanohablantes previo a la movilidad, el uso de la lengua durante la estancia y las actitudes sobre el español y sus comunidades de habla. La investigación, de tipo estadístico descriptivo y correlacional, empleó como instrumento una versión adaptada del cuestionario MAALE. Se encontraron un moderado grado de motivación y un ligero predominio de motivaciones de tipo intrínseco sobre las de tipo extrínseco. Asimismo, se hallaron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas del uso de la lengua meta...

Language teaching is a highly emotional profession that can affect the teachers' well-being and learners' achievement. However, studies have yet to explore the potential of positive psychology interventions and artificial intelligence (AI) tools to promote the psycho-emotional aspects of second language (L2) teachers and learners. Further, studies regarding the effectiveness of AI in promoting the learners' language skills could have been expansive....

Resumen:

El aprendizaje de idiomas está condicionado por múltiples factores individuales y contextuales, tanto en su proceso como en su éxito. Teniendo en cuenta este axioma, este libro revisa diferentes teorías y modelos sobre las diferencias individuales, a saber, las variables cognitivas, sociales, culturales, afectivas y motivacionales. Una vez explicado dicho marco teórico, se profundiza en los aspectos volitivos y se establecen los límites entre los conceptos de motivación, amotivación, remotivación y desmotivación. Posteriormente, se aborda con más detalle esta última por ser un fenómeno poco explorado. En particular, se presenta una revisión teórica de multitud de investigaciones, se describen los principales métodos e instrumentos de trabajo y se recogen los resultados más relevantes a nivel mundial. Finalmente, todo este saber...

Resumen:

While existing research has documented that the reading medium significantly impacts language learners? reading comprehension processes and outcomes, empirical evidence on how the reading medium influences reading emotions is lacking. The present study contributes to the field by investigating whether reading emotions (i.e. enjoyment, anxiety, and boredom) of learners of Spanish as a second language (L2) differ between mobile-assisted and paper-based reading processes. In addition, it explores whether individual difference variables (i.e. L2 Spanish proficiency and preferences for the reading medium) moderate the relationship between the reading medium and reading emotions. The instruments used are reading comprehension tests and questionnaire surveys administered to a sample of 245 first-year college students majoring in Spanish....
