This study, a follow-up to the research reported by Erlam, investigated K-12 content teachers’ ability to design tasks for content instruction in U.S. schools. Thirty-nine K-12 teachers who were enrolled in an English as a second language (ESL) teaching methods course participated in the study and each designed two language learning tasks. Two researchers rated the tasks following Ellis and Shintani’s four task criteria, as in Erlam. The study addressed the questions: (1) How successful are content teachers in designing tasks that satisfy Ellis and Shintani’s criteria? (2) Which of the criteria do teachers find easiest and most difficult to satisfy? and (3) Do the teachers improve in meeting the...

This article reports the findings of a multiple-case study on four teachers of German as a third language (GL3) at a Swedish lower secondary school (year 7). To gain a better understanding of third language (L3) teachers’ pedagogical perceptions and practices about grammar teaching to young beginners, teacher emotions are used as a theoretical frame. The data consist of individual interviews, lesson observations and immediate post-observational oral reflections that are analysed qualitatively using thematic content analysis with narrative features. The study points out the links between emotions and contextual factors inside and outside the classroom – such as time, workload, colleagues’ teaching...

Temas: comprensión oral fraseología cognición y procesamiento adquisición de segundas lenguas

Resumen:

This study examined the influence of formulaic language on second language (L2) listeners’ lower-level processing, in terms of their ability to accurately identify the words in texts. On the one hand, there were reasons for expecting the presence of the formulas to advantage the learners, because the learners would process these formulaic words more holistically than the surrounding non-formulaic words. On the other hand, though, because formulas are commonly uttered in more reduced fashion than their surrounding non-formulaic words – and L2 learners commonly face challenges understanding reduced speech – it was possible that the formulas would negatively impact the learners’ processing. The participants listened to four texts, which were paused intermittently for them to transcribe the final stretch of words they had heard prior to...

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...

Temas: AICLE/CLIL andamiaje/scaffolding géneros textuales creación de materiales

Resumen:

Previous studies have recommended employing genre analysis as a supportive framework for English scientific content in the content and language integrated learning (CLIL) context. However, little is known about how CLIL teachers collaborate to co-create genre-based scaffolds and how they perceive the benefits and challenges of genre analysis for material development through interdisciplinary teacher collaborations. This study aims to fill these gaps by exploring how two physics teachers and two English teachers paired to co-create scaffolds to improve students’ comprehension of English scientific materials. This study also investigates the teachers’ perceptions of their genre-based scaffolding design experiences via interdisciplinary teacher collaborations. This study is a qualitative case study, collecting data from scaffolds in...

Resumen:

This study explores how 30 Korean English as a foreign language (EFL) learners at three proficiency levels (CEFR A2, B1, and B2) manage third position repair during voice-based role-play tasks with ChatGPT-4. Over 12 hours and 30 minutes of recorded interactions were analyzed using conversation analysis, complemented by retrospective verbal reports (RVRs) to capture both interactional patterns and learner perceptions. The findings show clear proficiency-related differences. A2 learners (n = 10) consistently abandoned repair, either by switching to their first language or abruptly terminating the conversation, and none of their TPR sequences resulted in successful repair. B1 learners (n = 10) managed repair partially through simple repetition or confirmation checks but often prioritized progressivity over intersubjectivity;...

Resumen:

As a personality trait, ‘grit’ has been defined as a combination of perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Past research in social psychology has found grit as an important predictor of success across different populations in various academic and non-academic areas. Since successful mastery of a second language (L2) is highly dependent on learners’ sustained effort, the notion of grit and its relationship to language achievement gains immediate relevance in second language acquisition (SLA). The present study introduces the notion of grit and examines its relationship with motivational behaviors and language achievement in a sample of English as a foreign language learners (n = 191). Toward these ends, a language-specific grit scale was developed and validated to measure L2 learners’ grit. L2 grit was found to be positively...

No son pocas las ocasiones en las que, como docentes, nos enfrentamos a las dificultades de los estudiantes de español a la hora de adquirir, asimilar y utilizar los verbos de afección psicológica. La falta de comprensión del sentido tanto de la estructura sintáctica como de los aspectos semánticos y sociolingüístico de dichas construcciones pueden ser el origen de este bache en el proceso de aprendizaje. Nos proponemos, siguiendo las recomendaciones del Marco Común Europeo de Referencia y los principios de la Gramática Cognitiva, contribuir al conjunto de experiencias docentes que ya han trabajado el uso de la imagen metalingüística para explicar contenidos gramaticales complejos.

Resumen:

This qualitative case study explores how English as a foreign language (EFL) student teachers engaged with generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in the collaborative design of digital stories within an advanced undergraduate course in 2024. During the semester, participants critically evaluated and applied various AI applications, such as text-to-image generators, automated video editors and speech synthesis tools, to support different stages of multimodal story production, including script drafting, visual design, audio narration and video editing. Drawing on a corpus of 69 reflective papers (approximately 75,000 words), the study examines how student teachers integrated visual, auditory and textual elements to achieve multimodal cohesion and narrative coherence. The analysis focuses on participants’ practices and strategies for...

Temas: interacción atención a la forma feedback/retroalimentación enseñanza/aprendizaje de la gramática

Resumen:

This classroom study investigated the effectiveness of form-focused instruction and peer feedback training to improve grammatical accuracy and thereby maximize learning opportunities during peer interaction. Eighty-seven third-semester learners of German were assigned to a PI group (peer interaction only), an FFI group (peer interaction and form-focused instruction), or a PFT group (peer interaction, form-focused instruction, and peer feedback training). During an instructional intervention over 3 class periods, participants in all 3 groups engaged in the same peer interaction activities, but only the FFI group and the PFT group received form-focused instruction on the grammatical target structure, the German present perfect tense. Critically, only the PFT group was trained to provide corrective feedback to peers. Results from a...

Temas: feedback/retroalimentación expresión escrita creencias y actitudes de los profesores práctica docente

Resumen:

As an important instructional affordance, teacher written feedback is widely used in second language (L2) writing contexts. While copious evidence has shown that such a pedagogical practice can facilitate L2 learners’ writing performance, especially their writing accuracy, little is known about how novice writing teachers conceptualize and enact written feedback in contexts of English as a foreign language (EFL). To fill this gap, we examined four novice writing teachers’ espoused written feedback beliefs and their actual practices in Chinese tertiary EFL writing classrooms. Based on data from semi-structured interviews and students’ writing samples, we found that they adopted a comprehensive approach to feedback provision, and were most concerned with errors in language, particularly grammar when providing feedback. These teachers...
