Resumen:

Estudiar en un país donde el español es la lengua mayoritaria le proporciona al aprendiente de español L2 un contexto con enormes posibilidades de participar en conversaciones reales, compartir experiencias y construir relaciones, lo que conduce al desarrollo de sólidas habilidades sociales y comunicativas en español. En la práctica, sin embargo, la evidencia empírica no siempre valida la conexión hipotética entre el potencial para una mayor interacción, por una parte, y el desarrollo lingüístico, por otra. Este artículo analiza constructos, predicciones y evidencias vinculadas a la interacción como motor del desarrollo de la L2 en contextos de inmersión en el extranjero, e incluye estrategias comprobadas para cerrar la brecha entre las posibilidades y los resultados. Nuestro trabajo sintetiza los tres elementos clave de la Hipótesis...

Resumen:

The benefits of corrective feedback (CF) for second language (L2) learning are empirically attested, and multiple factors mediating CF effectiveness have been investigated. However, the timing of oral CF has received less attention given most research examines corrections provided immediately after an error. Delayed CF also warrants investigation; it occurs naturally in L2 classrooms and may be an appealing alternative in online learning contexts. Existing CF timing research shows either no significant differences between immediate and delayed CF, or advantages for immediate CF. To elucidate mixed findings, more CF timing studies are needed, especially those considering the effects of factors such as CF type, linguistic target and communication mode. Regarding communication mode, the effect of CF timing on errors made during text-...

Resumen:

Corrective feedback on second language (L2) writing has remained one of the most heavily studied areas in applied linguistics, yet clear guidance for practitioners about how to provide it most effectively remains limited. Previous studies have meta-analysed written corrective feedback (WCF) research revealing conflicting findings in how WCF affects development in L2 writers? accuracy over time. This study provides a needed update in light of a recent increase in (quasi)experimental WCF studies. It features several methodological advances by introducing a Bayesian approach to conducting a meta-analysis, which provides a more valid picture of the generalizable effects. The analysis allows distinction ? for the first time at a meta-analytic level ? between short-, medium-, and long-term effects of WCF. Results aggregate data from an...

La función y la utilidad del feedback sobre los trabajos de escritura en la clase de lenguas extranjeras es un tema ampliamente debatido en el campo y hoy sabemos que no cualquier tipo de feedback es efectivo. El propósito de este artículo es analizar y discutir los resultados obtenidos en un curso de escritura llevado a cabo en una universidad danesa con estudiantes de la carrera de máster de español, donde se ha experimentado con una cadena de distintos tipos de feedback para apoyar el aprendizaje y la motivación de las/os participantes. El curso, inspirado en un enfoque socioconstructivista del aprendizaje, se caracteriza por su énfasis en las necesidades y los deseos de los aprendices, quienes asumen...

Resumen:

This study explores the impact of direct and indirect feedback on the improvement of Spanish past aspect (imperfect/preterit) in writing activities in a third-semester Spanish course. Ninety learners were divided into three groups: direct feedback, indirect feedback, and control (no feedback). Learners completed a pretest, a posttest, and a delayed posttest. Although it remains unclear which type of feedback is more effective, results indicate that both types improved preterit?imperfect performance. As the delayed posttest showed, however, learners exhibited more lasting improvement (as indicated by the delayed posttest) when working on the production Activity than on the terminology and selection activities.

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...

Resumen:

The potential of model texts as a feedback instrument (MTFI) in second language (L2) writing has been explored for about two decades and continues to receive increasing interest from L2 scholars. However, to date, there is still an absence of a comprehensive review of studies in this particular area. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) procedure, this study aims to fill this gap by systematically reviewing 25 empirical studies on MTFI dating up to 1 April 2023, specifically focusing on three main aspects: study contexts, methodological characteristics, and primary areas of focus and key findings. The results revealed that existing MTFI studies (1) largely targeted low-intermediate English as a foreign language (EFL) learners at primary schools, (2) primarily adopted a quasi-...
