Esta investigación se centra en la ansiedad en la producción oral en estudiantes multilingües de español como lengua extranjera o segunda (LE/L2). En el estudio se comparó la ansiedad según el nivel de competencia de español (A1-C1), teniendo en cuenta la etapa educativa: 178 estudiantes de secundaria y 71 de universidad y el género. Asimismo, a partir de la escala de ansiedad general FLCAS, se compararon los cuatro componentes de ansiedad: (1) ansiedad comunicativa, (2) ansiedad ante los exámenes, (3) actitudes negativas hacia el aprendizaje y (4) ansiedad ante los procesos y situaciones de aprendizaje del aula. Los resultados indicaron mayor ansiedad en los niveles de competencia bajos (A1...

Resumen:

Este artículo analiza la percepción de los aprendientes sobre el uso y la utilidad del translenguaje (translanguaging) en el ámbito del español como lengua extranjera o segunda (LE/L2) en un centro francés de educación primaria. Para ello se tienen en cuenta las diferencias en dicha percepción en función del género, el nivel educativo, la lengua materna (L1) y el número de lenguas habladas. En la investigación participaron 91 estudiantes de primaria (6 y 11 años) divididos en tres cursos académicos. Los datos se obtuvieron con un cuestionario de elaboración propia como instrumento de medida adaptado a la edad de los participantes. Los resultados, analizados mediante SPSS, demuestran que los participantes perciben un uso frecuente del translenguaje en el aula. Además, valoran como más útil el uso del translenguaje que el uso exclusivo...

Resumen:

There seems to be a gap between the way polyglots learn languages and the way they are taught in most language courses. Why is that? And what exactly makes polyglots' ways of learning languages different… 

Lýdia—s mission as a language mentor is to help people learn languages more effectively by applying learning strategies that polyglots use. In this talk, she provides a few insights on where the methods of polyglots and of foreign language teachers seem to differ. She—s helped thousands of Slovaks change their approach to learning foreign languages by applying polyglots' principles in practice.

Resumen:

Polyglots are usually very good at learning languages by themselves, without teachers. This ability is often attributed to a special talent that they have, but Lýdia believes it comes down to a different quality — self-discipline. Learning a language from zero to a comfortable B2 level by yourself takes a lot of time and dedication and if you—re doing this by yourself, you need to be either extremely motivated to learn that language, or well-disciplined. That—s why most people find it so difficult and often give up after a few weeks or months. There is, however, quite a simple solution to this problem: learning systematically. If you create a plan in your learning, all you need to do is follow its simple steps, day by day, week by week, month by month. You don—t have to ask yourself "Do I feel like learning today"… over and over again...

Resumen:

This book contributes to emerging research on third language acquisition (TLA) and pinpoints the main factors characterising TLA as a different process and area of study from second language acquisition. Moving beyond the dichotomous conception of monolingualism and bilingualism, it proposes a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to studying acquisition of a third or additional language. It presents readers with a practical guide to understanding how these languages are processed, learned and taught and addresses the cognitive, linguistic and affective factors which make multilingual learning and teaching a complex and unique phenomenon. It also emphasises the important role of teachers as knowledge generators. Through various examples of multilingual education practices, it highlights how fundamental teachers are as bridges...

In this article we explore the role of linguistic landscapes, which refers to language on display in public spaces, in the teaching of languages and enhancing language awareness. Signage can be useful for language learners as a pedagogical tool for language acquisition and to explore issues of multilingualism.

We focus in particular on the multilingual education context in the Basque Country in Spain, where the three languages of instruction are Basque, Spanish and English. Our analysis is based on data collected in public spaces, from students in primary schools and masters-level students at university. Our data include signage in a local covered market, and on the walls of schools as...

Resumen:

This book demonstrates the positive impact of using film and audiovisual material in the language classroom. The chapters are evidence-based and address different levels and contexts of learning around the world. They demonstrate the benefits of using moving images and films to develop intercultural awareness and promote multilingualism, and suggest Audiovisual Translation (AVT) activities and projects to enhance language learning. The book will be a valuable continuing professional development resource for language teachers and those involved in curriculum development, as well as bringing the latest research, theory and pedagogical techniques to teacher training courses.

Resumen:

In an Integrated Plurilingual Approach (IPA), translation is used as a natural plurilingual learning strategy to advance language learning and plurilingual communicative competence (PCC). The focus lies on exploring the use of translation in other learning contexts (TOLC), i.e., not directly related to professional translation training, by seeking relevant connections between Translator Training and Additional Language (AL) Learning. Here I will present partial conclusions from an ongoing study that explores: (1) teacher strategies; and (2) best practices for the combination English-Spanish-Catalan. Our pedagogical framework follows socio-constructivist premises and prioritizes transferrable skills and concept-based instruction. The use of translation did not prove detrimental to language learning, and it favoured the development of...
