Emotion and identity in second language learning

VV. AA. (2024)

This book brings together 18 theoretical and empirical chapters that analyse the role of emotion (expression, perception, processing) and identity (notions and representations, construction, conflict) in the process of learning a second language. Studies on the differences in emotionality between L1 and L2 suggest that in L2 there is an alteration that, in many cases, manifests itself as a decrease in the affective load, which can lead to a certain indifference to the emotional content transmitted and to a lesser involvement in communication. It is also known that emotion plays a fundamental role in the construction of identity in a second language in the shaping of the self that feels and communicates and in the ability to cope with the learning process.

Most of the studies have focused on the understanding of these issues in balanced bilingual speakers, but there is little evidence on their functioning in speakers with other degrees of proficiency (the case of second language learners) and on their role in the learning process. Better understanding this question is fundamental for the improvement of everything related to second language acquisition. We need new and innovative approaches that lead to more effective programs, increased interest in language learning and the consolidation of multilingual societies.

Gramática afectiva en contextos de instrucción formal de español como lengua extranjera

María del Carmen Méndez Santos (2016)

En Hesperia - Anuario de Filología Hispánica Vol. 19 - 2

The teaching of grammar in the instructional context of FL for adult learners has been extensivelydiscussed. Furthermore, this topic has often led to a heated controversy. There has been an enormous metho-dological evolution from the Grammar-Translation approach, followed by natural methodologies and until themost extended instructional method implemented nowadays: the communicative approach. The present paperbriefly reviews from a historical perspective the evolution of instructional methodologies in order to frame themost current scenario. It also examines the impact of up-to-date investigation about the brain in the teachingcontext to justify and contextualize an innovative grammar approach coined as affective grammar. To understandthis new term, a definition is provided together with its limitations and exemplification. Finally, the results of apre-experimental and preliminary study are presented; they seem to confirm some of the hypotheses based onthis pedagogical approach.

Para comprender mejor el estado actual de la instrucción formal de la enseñanza de la gramática es necesario, primero, entender cuál ha sido el devenir histórico que explica por qué estamos en el punto en el que nos encontramos. De este modo, es posible visualizar mejor cómo los nuevos descubrimientos de la neurociencia que recogemos pueden ser aplicables a la educación para mejorar la instrucción. Así, propondremos una sistematización teórica de un enfoque didáctico denominado gramática afectiva. Para ello tomaremos como base los principios del procesamiento del input, de la neurociencia aplicada a la educación y la relación inseparable de la cognición y de la emoción y la importancia de esta última para el aprendizaje. El camino ha sido inverso al que suelen tener muchas teorías científicas, que es la formulación primero y luego el diseño de su aplicabilidad; por el contrario, en este caso, se parte de una experiencia de enseñanza-aprendizaje exitosa —fundada, por supuesto, en unas bases teóricas y en una filosofía docente clara— de la que se abstrae lo sistematizable para poder analizarlo y, en la medida de lo posible, intentar convertirlo en directrices prácticas y recomendaciones de operativización en el aula para mejorar la enseñanza de la gramática. Lo que presentamos son los resultados preliminares de una investigación en curso y realizada de un modo más completo en el futuro.

La psicología de los cuentos de hadas de Bruno Bettelheim en la enseñanza de Español como Lengua Extranjera

Cindia Miranda Rodríguez, Santiago Sevilla Vallejo (2022)

En Revista pensamiento transformacional 1(1)

Texto completo
Los cuentos tradicionales son un recurso de gran riqueza en cualquier tipo de enseñanza para niños. Bettelheim propone el vínculo de los cuentos tradicionales con los más íntimos sentimientos de los niños, generando una conexión con ellos. Este vínculo puede utilizarse de manera positiva en la enseñanza, y generar un desarrollo global del aprendizaje de los niños. De este modo, usando los cuentos tradicionales y los principios presentes en Psicoanálisis de los cuentos de hadas (1978) se espera un positivo desarrollo del léxico en lengua española en los niños.justificado.

Modelling the effects of the reading medium on L2 Spanish reading emotions: The moderating role of individual difference variables

Fan Yang, Xiaoming Yang (2024)

En Language Teaching Research

While existing research has documented that the reading medium significantly impacts language learners’ reading comprehension processes and outcomes, empirical evidence on how the reading medium influences reading emotions is lacking. The present study contributes to the field by investigating whether reading emotions (i.e. enjoyment, anxiety, and boredom) of learners of Spanish as a second language (L2) differ between mobile-assisted and paper-based reading processes. In addition, it explores whether individual difference variables (i.e. L2 Spanish proficiency and preferences for the reading medium) moderate the relationship between the reading medium and reading emotions. The instruments used are reading comprehension tests and questionnaire surveys administered to a sample of 245 first-year college students majoring in Spanish. Paired samples t-tests indicate that L2 Spanish learners perceive more enjoyment and less negative emotions when reading from a paper-based format than those from a mobile-assisted mode. In addition, moderation analyses indicate that both L2 Spanish proficiency and preferences for the medium are moderators of the relationships between the medium and reading emotions. More proficient L2 Spanish readers perceive more enjoyment and less anxiety and boredom when reading from paper than those from mobile phones; less proficient L2 readers demonstrate the opposite pattern. Students’ preference for mobile-assisted language reading would significantly enhance their reading enjoyment while reducing reading anxiety and boredom when they engage in such a type of reading mode. These results imply that individual differences are crucial factors in shaping students’ emotions across different reading modes. Reasons for differences in reading emotions across mediums and the moderating roles of individual variables are discussed.

Realities of comfort and discomfort in the heritage language classroom: Looking to transformative positive psychology for juggling a double-edged sword

Meagan Driver (2024)

En The Modern Language Journal

Texto completo

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) provide concrete and meaningful recommendations for supporting HS well-being and HL development from a transformative positive psychology lens. Data for the current qualitative study were provided through two separate methodologies. First, 64 HSs of Spanish responded to a qualitative questionnaire probing the emotional reactions and memories instigated by authentic HL classroom reading material on sensitive topics of racism, bilingualism, and immigration. The themes identified in written narrative data through an inductive thematic approach were then used as a foundation for semistructured interviews with language learners (n = 6) and educators (n = 8) from eight different HL backgrounds. Findings revealed feelings of comfort and discomfort, and even trauma and healing, in HLE spaces rooted in (a) language learning experiences, (b) social memories of (dis)comfort, and (c) intergenerational histories. Together, the data suggest how the HL classroom can act both as a trigger of social injustice, linguistic insecurity, and family conflict and, at the same time, as a space instigating affective reactions associated with social rebellion, linguistic confidence, intergenerational healing, and emotional refuge. Specific pedagogical recommendations are made to equip educators with a concrete toolkit for the HL classroom.
