Escuchar, ver, leer y escribir simultáneamente es extremadamente difícil, especialmente en una lengua extranjera. El presente trabajo ejemplifica en una secuencia didáctica para el aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera una metodología novedosa: la utilización de preguntas de comprensión audiovisual integradas en el vídeo como subtítulos y sincronizadas con los fragmentos relevantes. Este procedimiento podría aportar varios beneficios en la fase de visionado frente a una explotación en la que los materiales de la actividad se presentan en papel. Tales beneficios incluyen que podría reducir el conflicto de atención visual entre ver el vídeo y realizar la tarea, al aproximar espacial y...

Resumen:

The present study explores the effects of structured input and traditional instruction on the acquisition of English causative passive forms using online measurements (eye-tracking). Previous empirical research investigating the effects of processing instruction through offline measurements (sentence and discourse) has overall shown positive results for this pedagogical intervention. Research investigating the main factor responsible for the effectiveness of processing instruction has confirmed that it is the structured input component that is the causative factor for the positive effects of processing instruction. The main questions of this study are: (1) what are the effects of structured input and traditional instruction on accuracy when measured by an eye-tracking picture selection task? (2) would possible difference in accuracy...

Este artículo presenta un marco teórico para incorporar entrenamiento estratégico en la enseñanza de ELE, con el objetivo de desarrollar la competencia estratégica y metacognitiva del alumno. Asimismo, expone cómo enseñar estrategias mediante un ejemplo práctico que muestra la secuencia de fases propuestas por el método académico cognitivo para la enseñanza de lenguas (Chamot y O’Malley, 1994). Para ello, se introduce la estrategia de memoria agrupación y se explica detalladamente cómo integrarla en actividades de lengua concretas, con la intención de que los alumnos sean capaces de utilizarla cuando aprendan vocabulario de forma independiente.

Resumen:

After the publication of the CEFR Companion Volume in 2018, a revision of the curriculum in force for the English subject in the Bilingual Sections in the Community of Madrid has been implemented. One of the main changes is the inclusion of the concept of linguistic mediation in the subject ‘Advanced English’ in the last stage of secondary education. In an attempt to understand how linguistic mediation strategies and activities are being developed in real classroom contexts, this study has focused on teachers’ perceptions of linguistic mediation. A questionnaire and a focus group were used to examine teachers’ understanding and awareness of linguistic mediation, as well as the type of mediation activities that are relevant for their students and the extent to which they include linguistic mediation activities and strategies in their...

El proceso de adquisición del español como LM de los estudiantes sinohablantes se ve dificultado por el elevado índice de variables conflictivas de índole lingüística y cultural que entran en juego. La importancia que estas variables tienen en el desarrollo de su proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje convierte a los alumnos chinos en un grupo diferencial dentro del conjunto de aprendientes de E/LE. Con una lengua materna tipológicamente distante del español y educados en un sistema educativo organizado a partir del estructuralismo y del método de gramática-traducción, estos alumnos presentan unas necesidades específicas de aprendizaje que los docentes deberán tener en cuenta si desean ayudarles a...

Resumen:

Peer assessment has been found to have many advantages in learning particularly when viewing it through a socio-cultural lens. This study explored peer assessment across language teacher education coursework, following 15 teacher candidates through three semesters of TEFL coursework. This longitudinal approach is rare with peer assessment research. Surveys and interviews were collected to understand the students’ perception of peer assessment, including how it contributed to their learning and its summative use. Results indicated that repeatedly practicing peer assessment in coursework led to increased positive perception about its usefulness in learning and enhanced trust in peers as qualified assessors, but with a complex interaction of various factors in students’ perception, such as perceived task difficulty, interpersonal...

Hoy en día los materiales literarios se encuentran infrautilizados en el aula. Muchos aducen que el lenguaje que en ellos se utiliza presenta rasgos peculiares que hacen que se aleje de las verdaderas necesidades comunicativas de los alumnos y de los objetivos didácticos establecidos en los programas de lengua.

Resumen:

The present study investigated the potential of writing in English as a foreign language (EFL) for language learning by manipulating cognitive task complexity based on related models and hypotheses. English essays written by 59 Chinese postgraduate EFL students from different subject areas were analysed with reference to writing complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). Results showed that task complexity had no significant effect on EFL learners’ lexical complexity but had an influence on their syntactic variation in EFL writing. Findings suggest that manipulating writing task complexity could be a feasible means to promoting and enhancing EFL learners’ language learning. Such findings might broaden our understanding of the relationship between EFL writing and language learning in an EFL learning context. The interplay of EFL writing...

Resumen:

Although Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of flow was introduced 50 years ago, it was not until 2003 when Egbert established a research stream exploring flow in language learning. Since then, empirical studies have increasingly used the construct to gain a better understanding of learners’ optimal experiences. To understand the methodological characteristics of research during this period, we conducted a systematic review of 123 empirical studies on flow in second language (L2) learning published between 2003 and 2025. These studies were coded for sampling features, learner demographics, research methods, research foci, and operationalization features of flow. The findings revealed that research on flow has rapidly grown, especially since 2016, with studies skewed towards samples involving Asian English as a foreign language (EFL)...

Resumen:

To test the predictive power of the SSARC (stabilize, simplify, automatize, reconstruct, and complexify) model of pedagogic task sequencing in second language (L2) writing development, the present study explores the performance of written decision-making tasks with varied levels of cognitive complexity in a simple-to-complex sequence in comparison to complex-to-simple and individual task performance sequences over time. The participants, 100 advanced-mid learners of English as a second language (ESL), who were divided into three groups completed writing tasks either (1) in a simple-to-complex sequence, (2) in a complex-to-simple sequence, or (3) at one level of complexity (i.e. simple, medium, or complex task versions). Their written production was analysed for syntactic complexity, accuracy, lexical complexity, and fluency (CALF)....
