La investigación sobre estudiantes de español en el extranjero ha explorado el potencial de la participación local para desarrollar la competencia translingüística, definida como la capacidad de alinear los recursos lingüísticos y semióticos con las posibilidades sociales y contextuales para lograr la comunicación. Mientras que las investigaciones anteriores se han centrado en el translenguaje durante los estudios en el extranjero, este estudio explora los efectos recurrentes de tal destreza.

This study investigates the impact of an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant on reader response theory in novel analysis using a mixed-methods approach. It examines how AI-generated real-time feedback, powered by advanced machine learning and natural language processing, enhances interpretive possibilities beyond conventional methods, aligning with reader response theory’s emphasis on reader-text interaction.

Previous research on translanguaging in classrooms for a language other than English (LOTE) has shown that it helps learners compensate for limited language proficiency. Few studies have investigated how translanguaging promotes learners’ conceptual understanding of the target language. This study aims to investigate how a Chinese teacher mediates conceptual understanding of the target language among 15 Spanish major undergraduates in a Chinese university through pedagogical translanguaging. Data were collected from classroom observations, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews.

Las redes sociales están modificando la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de idiomas, generando prácticas educativas desconocidas hasta hoy. En este contexto, presentamos el primer estudio empírico en cualquier idioma sobre el aprovechamiento de la red de voz Clubhouse, para enseñar y aprender español. Nuestras preguntas de investigación son: cuáles son las prácticas formativas empleadas en esta red y qué estrategias discursivas utilizan los moderadores para llevarlas a cabo.

Few mobile-assisted vocabulary learning approaches fully correspond to the authenticity principle of the situated learning theory (SLT). A novel practice of changing the smartphone system language to second language (L2), which intends to better implement SLT in a real smartphone context, is the focus of this study. To explore the potential of using this under-researched approach to facilitate L2 vocabulary learning, a mixed-method design was adopted to investigate its impact on vocabulary acquisition, global language learning motivation, and vocabulary learning motivation.

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.

This article examines the issue of teaching Spanish as a heritage language (SHL) focusing primarily on the issues of linguistic diversity and the socio-affective issues related to heritage language learners. First, we consider linguistic diversity in speech communities where students use SHL. Second, we discuss students? perceptions of the teaching of Spanish in a linguistically diverse setting and draw upon a corpus of interviews with 35 students attending an SHL program at a large southwestern university in the United States.
