La presente investigación se centra en un estudio contrastivo del sistema de eufemismos del chino y del español como base teórica para el diseño de una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de los eufemismos del español como lengua extranjera a estudiantes de lengua materna china.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar de forma crítica la relación entre las imágenes que proponen los manuales de preparación al Diploma de español (DELE) de nivel A2 editados a partir de 2020 en España y el perfil estadístico del candidato que se presenta a dicha prueba en España como elemento para obtener la nacionalidad.

Virtual exchanges (VE) are gaining popularity as an opportunity to provide learners with authentic language and intercultural experiences mediated by technology. This article presents the results of a VE project aimed at developing intercultural and digital competences among Spanish Language Teaching (SLT) learners and trainee teachers. Among the main components of the project, the design, implementation and monitoring of telecollaborative tasks constitute key elements for the success of the project.

Este estudio analiza la efectividad, consistencia y aplicabilidad de ChatGPT en la enseñanza del español, con el objetivo de evaluar su capacidad para generar textos que reflejen una progresión adecuada de dificultad según el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCER), desde el nivel A1 hasta C2. Mediante un enfoque que combina técnicas empíricas (CEF-ESTIM Grid) y herramientas computacionales (MultiAzterTest), se comparan 120 textos generados por ChatGPT con 120 textos extraídos de materiales educativos convencionales, como los utilizados por el Instituto Cervantes.

This study examines adapted Focus on Form (FonF) versus mixed Focus-on-Forms (FonFs) for teaching Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) to Chinese university students. The adapted FonF integrated guided inductive noticing (via minimal pairs), staggered rule introduction, and multimodal input, whereas the mixed FonFs condition combined explicit rule explanation and practice in a present-practice-produce sequence. Both approaches incorporated communicative activities. Using a quasi-experimental design, 62 intermediate learners received 15 hours of online instruction.

The transmission of Spanish among heritage speakers is shaped by communicative practices within the family, by their distribution across different geographical areas and the opportunities to use the heritage language in those settings and, finally, by the availability of educational programmes that reinforce the acquired competence. This article analyses how these three factors interact to support the maintenance of Spanish as a heritage language in Germany, the third-largest European country in terms of its heritage Spanish-speaking population.

In this study, 156 learners were randomly assigned to four experimental conditions featuring 5-minute explicit information (EI) treatments on Spanish real and hypothetical conditionals. The Reading + Hearing + Enhancement + Indexing group received EI in text, audio, and with textual enhancements and indexing (synchronous animations connecting segments of metalanguage to their form in examples). The Reading + Hearing + Enhancement group received the same, minus the indexing. The Reading + Hearing group received text and auditory support, and the Reading group received EI in text form only.
