motivación

En esta experiencia práctica, pretendo proponer una serie de actividades que podemos realizar en las clases de español para extranjeros utilizando las técnicas dramáticas y que conseguirán despertar el interés de los alumnos por el estudio de la lengua española, disfrutarán, aprenderán y serán los constructores de su propio conocimiento. Todas ellas, las he realizado en mis clases con alumnos de edades comprendidas entre catorce y diecisiete años en los niveles A1-A2 y B1, aunque se pueden realizar en el resto de niveles. Todas se pueden adaptar a las condiciones, al contexto y a las necesidades de los alumnos.

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: motivación

Resumen:

Along with the evolution of positive psychology, research in noncognitive factors (e.g. enjoyment and boredom) has gradually flourished in second language (L2) education in recent years. However, previous studies have not examined how enjoyment, boredom, and motivational intensity concurrently predict the self-perceived L2 language proficiency (SPL2P) of younger L2 learners in the Chinese language learning context. To fill the gap, this study investigated 251 ( N = 251) L2 Chinese students from 13 elementary and secondary schools in New Zealand, a population that has scarcely been featured. Embracing the PROCESS macro software, the results of the moderated mediation model indicated that L2 motivational intensity significantly predicted SPL2P, and L2 enjoyment positively mediated the association between L2 motivational intensity and...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: enseñanza/aprendizaje de lenguas

Resumen:

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language education has transformed how learners manage and direct their learning processes. Despite the growing adoption of AI-assisted tools, empirical understanding of their psychological and behavioral impacts remains incomplete. This study investigated how engagement in AI-assisted language learning environments shapes learners’ self-regulation, autonomy, and self-directed learning behaviors. Drawing on self-determination theory and Zimmerman’s model of self-regulated learning, the research employed a quantitative design with data collected from 736 Chinese university students using validated questionnaires measuring AI engagement, self-regulation, self-directed learning, and learner autonomy. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and correlational analyses were conducted...

Resumen:

En el actual mundo de español como lengua extranjera (E/LE), la clase presencial y el manual pueden ser suficientes para planificar una enseñanza con éxito, pero no tienen por qué ser la única posibilidad. Estamos viviendo una revolución tecnológica en la que todos podemos participar, y existen nuevas y potentes herramientas al servicio del profesorado para facilitar, motivar y avivar la curiosidad por aprender de nuestros estudiantes.

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: aprendizaje colaborativo

Resumen:

Collaborative writing is a pedagogical activity increasingly used in second language education. Despite the increased research on L2 students’ participation in collaborative writing, scant attention has been paid to student engagement in project-based collaborative writing and the possible engagement changes. This article reports on a longitudinal case study investigating the changes in student engagement of a group of five Chinese EFL undergraduates in project-based collaborative writing. The analysis of the data gathered by observations of group interactions, interviews, and student texts reveals three patterns of engagement changes: from active collaborators to ‘team escapers’, from a supporter to a ‘free rider’, and unchanged dedicated writers. The findings are discussed concerning the factors that could account for the engagement...

Learners’ enjoyment in mobile task-based language learning: a longitudinal study on novice CFL learners in an Australian university

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: factores afectivos

Resumen:

Foreign language enjoyment (FLE) is one of the crucial positive emotions shown by language learners. Those experiencing FLE are usually intrinsically motivated and highly engaged. However, research on foreign language learners’ FLE has not been extensively conducted in a mobile learning setting. Less is known on how and to what extent learning activities are related to FLE. To address this gap, this study designed a mobile-assisted language learning task and investigated novice Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) learners’ FLE level at different stages of the task. Based on two rounds of questionnaire survey and an email reflection, the respondents revealed a surprisingly high FLE level in three...

Advising in language learning and the support of learners’ basic psychological needs: A self-determination theory perspective

Scott J. Shelton-Strong (2022)

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: enseñanza/aprendizaje de lenguas

Resumen:

In this article self-determination theory (SDT) is used as a framework to explore ways in which ‘advising in language learning’ (advising) can be understood to support language learners’ basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness. These are defined in SDT as nutrients essential for integration, growth, healthy development and well-being (Ryan & Deci, 2017). SDT posits that social learning contexts in which learners’ basic psychological needs are supported facilitate and sustain autonomous functioning, more effective learning and performance, strengthen adaptability, promote awareness, and foster greater wellness (Reeve, 2016; Ryan & Deci, 2017; Vansteenkiste et al., 2019). While a growing body of research provides insight into ways advising promotes and is supportive of autonomous language learning and...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: traducción audiovisual

Resumen:

Reverse dubbing represents the process of creating and presenting a video clip that translates the original first-language (L1) spoken dialogues to second/foreign language. This study investigated its effects on English speaking proficiency and English learning motivation (ELM). Two intact classes of English as a foreign language (EFL) college students were randomly assigned to either the reverse dubbing (RD) group or the comparison group. In the course of an academic semester, the RD group completed two RD tasks, for each of which they, in groups, (1) selected a Mandarin L1 video clip, (2) translated the subtitles to English, (3) rehearsed the translated subtitles, (4) created a new soundtrack, (5) combined the video clip with the new soundtrack to produce the dubbed video clip, and (6) played the dubbed video clip in class and then...

Resumen:

Higher education serves as a fundamental driver of social progress and individual professional development. This study examines the motivational profiles of 112 Spanish-speaking college students who are learning Chinese as a foreign language, focusing on the factors that influence their decision to study this language and their academic satisfaction within the university context. The study is based on an analysis of data collected from these students, using statistical analyses to explore relationships between motivational factors, academic satisfaction, and academic performance. The findings reveal that intrinsic motivations—such as interest in Chinese culture and traditions, personal growth, and intellectual challenge—predominate over extrinsic motivations, including prospective employment opportunities, when selecting Chinese as a...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: propuesta didáctica

Temas: canciones

Resumen:

En este caso, hemos concebido una actividad que trata de introducir a los estudiantes en el flamenco, intentando desterrar la idea que en ocasiones tienen de que es una música anquilosada y tan solo del gusto del público de más edad. Por ello, centramos nuestro interés en el flamenco fusión, es decir, en la mezcla del flamenco con otros estilos musicales como el jazz, el rock, el pop.
