The present study applies critical race theory and a raciolinguistic perspective to understand the orientations of language programs in the United States towards developing bilingualism. More specifically, the study draws on survey and in-depth interview data from self-identified Latinx Spanish-English bilinguals who participated in English-dominant and bilingual curricula. We establish that the practices and policies of extant programs are grounded in injurious ideologies that result in the racialization of Latinx students.

En Australia, en comparación con otras lenguas ?especialmente las asiáticas? de mayor tradición en la educación, el español no ha gozado de una gran presencia y tampoco ha recibido la atención necesaria en la investigación pedagógica, incluidas las opiniones y necesidades de los docentes.

This study investigated differences in students? foreign language anxiety and foreign language self-efficacy related to skill-specific foreign language tasks (i.e., speaking, listening, reading, and writing) across five levels of university foreign language coursework.

Dado que la competencia pragmática se encuentra dentro del conjunto de competencias principales para el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera, es fundamental que los aprendices de español sean conscientes de los elementos relacionados con la pragmática durante su aprendizaje y, como consecuencia, que los programas de formación de profesores se ocupen de la pragmática como parte de sus planes de estudio.
