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 qualitative case study...

La complejidad semántica y combinatoria de los denominados verbos pseudocopulativos de cambio ?ponerse, hacerse, quedarse y volverse? los convierte en formas gramaticales de elevada dificultad, tanto para el aprendiz de ELE, como para el docente, que ha de conocer las pautas de su comportamiento semántico y sintáctico. Su inclusión dentro del inventario gramatical del Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes en los niveles B1 y B2 hace que sean tratados en muchos de los manuales y gramáticas de enseñanza-aprendizaje de español de niveles intermedios. En este trabajo se aborda un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo del tratamiento gramatical que reciben estos verbos en una muestra de materiales, formada por cinco libros de texto de...

Temas: interacción enseñanza/aprendizaje de lenguas teoría sociocultural

Resumen:

This book presents a view of human language as social interaction, illustrating its implications for language learning and second language teaching. The volume advocates for researchers, practitioners, and administrators to rethink and reconceptualize an understanding of language beyond that of the written word to one encompassing social and interactional activity built on co-construction, collaboration, and negotiation. The book emphasizes the ways in which this view of language can shed light on the language learning process as one which draws on discrete linguistic units and constructions in conjunction with a range of temporal, sequential, and embodied resources across a variety of social contexts. In turn, these insights prompt further reflection and discussion on their implications for advancing second language teaching practice...

Mediante el análisis de siete libros de texto de español L2, pretendemos examinar el enfoque teórico subyacente en las explicaciones de los verbos de afecto en español (por ejemplo, ?me fastidia, me encanta?), ya que esta construcción gramatical resulta compleja para un hablante no nativo. Con base en los resultados de la investigación, buscamos proporcionar ejemplos pedagógicos de cómo la lingüística cognitiva puede ser un método ventajoso en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de los verbos psicológicos. Los resultados del estudio indican que, aunque todos los materiales didácticos se basan en el paradigma comunicativo clásico, ninguno de ellos ofrece una perspectiva cognitiva para la enseñanza de los verbos psicológicos en las etapas...

Resumen:

The NFLRC is pleased to announce our new Teaching and Learning Languages in the United States (TELL-US) podcast series. This professional learning series aims to examine language teaching and learning in the U.S. from the perspective of ?non-insiders? (i.e., teachers who have had to adapt to the culture of teaching and learning languages in the U.S., having come from a different cultural context). Focusing on two broad categories ? language pedagogy and school culture, the goal for this program is to create a professional learning resource for novice LCTL teachers who find themselves teaching in a similar situation. Although the podcasts will focus primarily on the LCTL teacher population, they can also be a valuable resource for any other teachers whose educational formation has taken place outside the U.S. Similarly, the episodes...

Glossing is a widely used and examined vocabulary learning tool, and one of the major branches of glossing research has compared the relative effects of first language (L1) and second language (L2) glosses on reading comprehension and vocabulary learning. However, the findings in this literature have not been consistent, calling for a comprehensive and systematic review. To this end, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the relative effects of L1 and L2 glossing on L2 reading comprehension and L2 vocabulary learning. Based on 78 effect sizes gathered from 26 studies representing 30 independent samples (N = 2,189...

Las unidades fraseológicas se han ido integrando cada vez más en las nuevas propuestas didácticas dedicadas a la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. En el presente estudio se pretende comprobar, específicamente, el tratamiento que podrían estar recibiendo las locuciones verbales en las aulas de ELE a través de los recursos que suelen guiar su planificación curricular, con el fin de observar si estos avances están siendo aplicados. Para ello, se han analizado, en primer lugar, las dos obras de referencia para la planificación docente en ELE: el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCERL) (2002) y el Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) (2006). De esta manera, se ha evidenciado la escasa sistematicidad...

Classroom studies have shown that learning new vocabulary from reading can be enhanced if the reading task is followed by a word-focused activity, such as a fill-in-the-blank activity. However, little is known about: (1) whether a post-reading word-focused activity can also positively affect vocabulary uptake in out-of-classroom contexts when there is no instructor support, (2) whether vocabulary gains differ based on proficiency levels, and (3) whether awareness of an upcoming post-reading word-focused activity influences learning gains. The present study addresses these issues by having native (high-proficient) or nonnative (L2 high-intermediate) English speakers read a narrative containing 16 recurring non-word target...

World language teachers have historically relied on the notion of teaching methods to inform elements of design and procedure in their instructional practice. Teacher beliefs about teaching methods, however, have been shown to be significantly influenced by their context, including their institution and their learners. This phenomenon has led some scholars to identify a postmethod condition, where teachers prioritize making responsive, principled decisions about instruction based on their context. This qualitative study investigated the patterns and realities of the postmethod condition in practice through the lens of...

As emotions research in the field of second language acquisition continues to evolve, it is equally important to explore the impact of social?emotional variables that are specifically relevant to heritage language (HL) contexts. Anchoring on foundations in critical heritage language education (HLE), this study examines the discomforts of the HL classroom from a diverse heritage speaker (HS) perspective. Additionally, comforts that support the HL classroom as a safe space for emotional security and well-being for HSs across HLs are explored. Examining the HL classroom from the perspective of HL practices and knowledge systems, this study ultimately aims to: (a) outline the emotional complexity of HL pedagogical spaces, and (b...

Both applied cognitive linguistics (ACL) researchers and linguists, and language instructors and professionals looking for a comprehensive and innovative access to ACL from the direct point of view of applied L2 Pedagogy, will find this Element to be of interest. There is great demand for quality teaching materials, a need for guidance on how to design them and which technology tools are of value. This Element takes a theoretical approach to that design while offering direct examples and tips for practitioners and researchers. Questions about empirical studies are explored, probing prominent empirical research, and the author provides promising evidence to support their recommendations on assetment-task design for future research.

This study set out to re-examine the effectiveness of study abroad programs in second language (L2) acquisition through a multi-level meta-analysis. Overall, 42 primary studies published between 1995 and 2019 were identified, and in total 283 effect sizes were meta-analysed. This study implemented a three-level random effects model to account for the clustered, mutually dependent effect sizes often nested in the primary studies of L2 study abroad research. The results indicated a medium-to-large effect (g = 0.87) on study abroad language programs. Essentially, the featured moderators in general explained more...

At the turn of the new millennium, in an article published in Language Teaching Research in 2000, Dörnyei and Kormos proposed that ?active learner engagement is a key concern? for all instructed language learning. Since then, language engagement research has increased exponentially. In this article, we present a systematic review of 20 years of language engagement research. To ensure robust coverage, we searched 21 major journals on second language acquisition (SLA) and applied linguistics and identified 112 reports satisfying our inclusion criteria. The results of our analysis of these reports highlighted the...

Resumen:

New quantitative methodology and the development of corpus and experimental linguistics tools have recently made researching lexical comprehension and production more accessible. While several tools and data sets are available in English (Coh-metrix, CELEX) and a few other languages, the development of resources and empirical research is still lacking in Spanish.

This volume brings together original empirical research and theoretical perspectives that examine lexical development in Spanish L1, L2 and L3, with a focus on different teaching approaches and textbook coverage of Spanish lexicon in L2 curricula and the use of corpus linguistics in methodological investigations. Some questions addressed include the role of lexical development in mapping grammatical acquisition phases, the potential transfers of L1 to L2 lexical...
