Resumen:

Given the fundamental contribution of formulaic sequences to the fluent, natural second/foreign language (L2) use and processing, finding effective ways of improving learners's formulaic language has increasingly engaged the attention of L2 practitioners. Focusing on lexical bundles (LBs), as the most frequent formulaic-language strings, the current quasi-experimental study examined statistical learning of recurring 3-to-6-word LBs among Iranian learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) receiving different types of distributional, narrative sensory stimuli. To this end, three intact classes received a recurring-theme narrative content in three different input modalities including only-auditory, audiovisual, and captioned audiovisual. To examine whether exposure to statistical, varied-modality input (or sensory stimuli)...

Resumen:

Social justice pedagogies (SJPs) are increasingly common in world language (WL) classrooms. However, little is known about how these activities unfold in real time. This qualitative, observational, and exploratory study adopts a multimodal, microanalytic lens to examine the enactment of an in-class social justice (SJ) activity involving four learners in a postsecondary second language Spanish course in the U.S. Using video data, the study draws on Sociocognitive Theory and Multimodal Interaction Analysis to pursue two goals: (1) to investigate whether learners enacted the SJ activity in ways consistent with both the activity's instructions and broader SJPs, and (2) to explore whether and how language learning emerges within this interaction. The discussion raises important considerations about the design of SJ activities and offers...

Resumen:

En la enseñanza de ELE proliferan los prejuicios sobre la lengua que deben aprender los estudiantes y la manera en que han de hacerlo. Metodológica­mente, se pasó de un enfoque elitista y centrado casi de modo exclusivo en la lengua escrita, a otros que, bajo la premisa de la comunicatividad, proscribían la gramática. También, con frecuencia, se priorizó el español normativo frente a cualquier registro coloquial, y el español normativo, al de cualquiera de las otras variantes. De la misma forma, los ejercicios estructurales de huecos, o las actividades lúdicas (por acudir al antagonismo extremo) se han encontrado con las reconvenciones de teóricos de la enseñanza de segundas lenguas.

Parece obvio que estas mismas renuencias se hallarán también al abordar en ELE el discurso digital que, sin embargo, ofrece una serie de virtudes...

Resumen:

Although new technologies are embedded in students' lives today, there is often an assumption that their use is transparent, inconsequential, or a distraction. This book combines complex systems theory with sociocultural theory and the multimodal theory of communication, providing an innovative theoretical framework to examine how communication and meaning-making in the language classroom have developed over time, how technology impacts on meaning-making, and what the implications are for learners, teachers, institutions and policy makers. Recent studies provide evidence for the disruptive effect of technology which has resulted in a phase shift that is reshaping language education by creating new interaction patterns, allowing for multimodal communication, and introducing real-world communication into the classroom. The book proposes...

Resumen:

Presenting in a second language (L2) is perhaps the greatest challenge for international students in a foreign academic context. In this study, we examine the multimodal (verbal and non-verbal) oral performances of two L2 and two L1 groups of Spanish students enrolled in a university Applied Linguistics course. To determine the specific demands and challenges that each group faces, we conducted a questionnaire with 16 participants and carried out an audiovisual discourse analysis of the presentations based on a multimodal framework applied to the use of academic Spanish. It was discovered in the analysis of the data that multimodal competence, the ability to make use of and combine verbal and non-verbal modes of communication to construct and communicate meaning, can compensate for L2 students' linguistic deficiencies. The article...

Resumen:

Texto completo 

Multimodal input — which combines written, auditory, and/or visual modalities — is pervasive in everyday life and could serve as a source of rich input in language teaching. In recent years, research has determined that vocabulary learning is one of the clear benefits of being exposed to such input. Regrettably, only a handful of studies have investigated whether and how second language (L2) teachers approach multimodal input in teaching. To further contribute to the research-practice dialogue, we examined factors that influence L2 teachers' use of multimodal input in L2 teaching. This...
