translingüismo

Un principio bien asentado en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras es el de enseñar una lengua usando exclusivamente esa misma lengua. Sin embargo, los datos muestran claramente que eso no siempre sucede así. Este trabajo parte de este hecho y tiene como objetivo encontrar las funciones de cada una de las lenguas que aparecen una la clase de lengua extranjera. Para ello usa el análisis conversacional y considera la clase como un contexto institucional que impone una orientación hacia la consecución de los objetivos institucionales a los participantes y restricciones en el uso de la lengua. A partir de estos conceptos se establecen tres funciones en el uso de la L1 (estrategia de enseñanza,...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: trabajo teórico

Temas: translingüismo

Resumen:

Este trabajo examina el translanguaging como un marco teórico, pedagógico y político para el rediseño curricular orientado a posicionar el español como lengua académica en la educación superior en Estados Unidos. Se centra en programas de formación docente en Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), universidades con una alta matrícula de estudiantes latinos. Partiendo de un análisis crítico de las ideologías English-only y de las prácticas de escolarización sustractiva, el texto argumenta que la jerarquización lingüística continúa reproduciendo exclusión, debilitando identidades académicas y limitando el desarrollo profesional de futuros docentes latinos bilingües. A partir de una revisión...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: bilingüismo

Resumen:

Se presentan en el siguiente trabajo los resultados de un experimento donde hablantes de español L1 juzgaron oraciones en alternancia de código entre un sujeto -en las distintas personas- en inglés y un verbo en español y viceversa. La idea era constatar las preferencias en cuanto al sujeto pronominal y las preferencias de número y persona. Como se esperaba, el sujeto en español fue el preferido en la alternancia. En cuanto a preferencias por la persona, cuando el sujeto estaba en inglés, la tercera persona singular fue preferida sobre la primera y segunda. Sin embargo, cuando el sujeto estaba en español y la tercera persona singular tenía morfología, esta opción fue preferida sobre las...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: translingüismo

Resumen:

Globalization and technological advancements have expanded human interaction and mobility, leading to increased multilingualism and multiculturalism. In response, English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching approaches have shifted from English-medium instruction (EMI) toward more multilingual approaches, including translanguaging. As a flexible pedagogy, translanguaging has gained growing attention in educational research. Accordingly, this study, an abridged version of a doctoral dissertation (Ceyhan Bingöl, 2024), conducted at the tertiary level in Türkiye, investigates whether there is a significant difference in the paragraph writing performance of English language learners exposed to a pedagogical translanguaging-integrated pre-writing stage and an English-only pre-writing stage in an EMI context at the tertiary level in Türkiye...

Going beyond practicing English: Language alternation in an L2 book club’s Zoom meetings

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: translingüismo

Resumen:

This study investigates the occurrence of students’ language alternation practices during second language (L2) book talk. The data were collected at a voluntary book club for learning English at a university in Korea. The book club was implemented using Zoom. In this context, using multimodal conversation analysis, I highlight instances in which students successfully construct their book talk in English (their L2) but go further by providing translations in Korean (their first language), thus doing repair to deal with (potential) problems of understanding and speaking. The findings show that through these self-repair practices of translation the student-speakers are not only (1) pursuing mutual understanding with the recipients but also (2) managing their turn construction in their doing of book talk. I argue that through these...

Language teacher cognition on mobilizing learners’ multilingual resources: A case study from a content and language integrated classroom in Australia

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: AICLE/CLIL

Resumen:

Strategic use of learners’ multilingual resources in a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) classroom enables learners to employ all of their linguistic repertoires to make sense of what they learn to construct and demonstrate new content and language understanding and skills. This study examines a CLIL teacher’s cognition – what they know, believe, think, and do – on allowing multilingual practices among learners with limited foreign language proficiency. An in-depth analysis of the qualitative data collected from a Japanese/Humanities CLIL teacher working in an Australian secondary school revealed two key findings. Namely, this study identified: (1) the influence of complex...

Translingual practices in Chinese as a second language writing: Variations across language proficiency levels

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: translingüismo

Resumen:

This study investigates the variations in multilingual students’ translingual practices across language proficiency levels in the context of Chinese as a second language (CSL) writing. The case study examined multilingual students’ CSL writing across different proficiency levels at a Sino-US joint-venture university in China, with the aim to understand the variations in translingual practices across these levels. The findings revealed that as language proficiency advanced, there was a corresponding increase in the sophistication of translingual practices, which was manifested in a rise in nuanced, strategic, and culturally inclusive writing. The gradual development in language proficiency allowed students to navigate beyond lexical boundaries and embrace linguistic and cultural diversity, which indicated a change from a monolingual...

Language mixing as a pedagogical tool for language learning: a methods development guide

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: trabajo teórico

Temas: adquisición de segundas lenguas

Resumen:

This article introduces the novel mixed language input paradigm (MiLIP), which utilizes language mixing as a pedagogical tool for language learning, and describes the methodology to conduct a longitudinal study using this paradigm. We illustrate the paradigm using the example of intrasententially mixed Greek (target language) with English (familiar language), combined with multimodal input (audio, images, videos, subtitles) over three learning phases. Participants are presented with increasingly complex Greek input as the phases progress: nouns in Phase 1, noun phrases (NPs) in Phase 2, and NPs + verbs in Phase 3. Learning in the proposed paradigm is evaluated through picture selection and...

Monolingual versus multilingual foreign language teaching: French and Arabic at beginning levels

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: uso de la L1 en el aula

Resumen:

Macaro has stated that the choice between a monolingual, immersive, target language-only pedagogy versus a non-immersive, multilingual pedagogy is ‘probably the most fundamental question facing second language acquisition (SLA) researchers, language teachers, and policymakers’. Recognizing that prior empirical work on monolingual versus multilingual approaches has primarily been (1) descriptive, (2) in the context of English as a second or foreign language, and (3) very short term, often with one brief treatment, this intervention study examines the effectiveness of use of the L1/non-target language in the L2 classroom in a quasi-experimental, 10-week study examining French, a commonly learned foreign language, and Arabic, a less commonly learned foreign language, at beginning levels of proficiency in a community-based setting with 25...

Greater complexity and higher efficiency: Effects of translanguaging during collaborative pre-task planning on EFL learners’ speaking performance

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: translingüismo

Resumen:

Translanguaging has thrived as a pedagogy for second language (L2) acquisition because of its potential in maximizing L2 learners’ communicative repertoire. However, limited attention has been paid to how translanguaging can influence L2 speaking within the framework of task-based language teaching (TBLT). This study explored how different language use (i.e., L2 only and translanguaging) in collaborative pre-task planning contributed to L2 learners’ subsequent monologic speaking performance, as measured by complexity, accuracy, fluency (CAF), and idea units. The planning behaviours were also examined to offer explanations for the differences in learners’ speaking performance. Altogether 72 undergraduate students from a Chinese university voluntarily participated in this study. The results showed that translanguaging planning...
