Resumen:

Offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to and exploration of the role of context in the acquisition of a variety of L2 competencies.

This book makes a seminal contribution to understanding the role of context in different kinds of acquisition, taking forward current debates on inter- and transdisciplinarity in second language acquisition (SLA). It aims to both highlight and foster connections between different aspects of SLA, arguing for a more inclusive approach to research by reaching beyond prestige norms and making multilingualism and multicompetence a core principle of contemporary SLA research and practice.

The accessible state-of-the art chapters highlight the crucial role played by context of acquisition and use in practice, as well as...

Resumen:

Outstanding original application of intersectionality to language teacher education and multilingual classrooms.

This book showcases the construct of intersectionality and how it applies to the multiple dimensions of language and multilingual teacher identities. The chapters illustrate how intersectionality affects teachers’ potential for agency and their pedagogical practices.

By highlighting intersectionality’s role in teacher education, the book seeks to understand how all forms of oppressive social practices play out in classrooms and educational contexts, and how an intersectional lens can suggest ways in which to counter these in multilingual classrooms and language teaching.

The chapters use a range of methodologies to explore theoretical, empirical...

Resumen:

Examina hasta qué punto los resultados de la investigación en adquisición de segundas lenguas pueden traducirse en decisiones didácticas, y por qué esa traducción rara vez es directa.

Reúne trabajos del autor sobre los efectos de la instrucción formal, la interacción en el aula, los ejercicios de concienciación gramatical y la variabilidad de la interlengua. La propuesta que se desprende es una enseñanza que actúa sobre el input y sobre los procesos de procesamiento del aprendiente, más que sobre su producción inmediata.

Resumen:

Primero de los dos volúmenes que recogen la discusión sobre la variación en la interlengua; este se ocupa de la vertiente discursiva y pragmática.

Reúne estudios empíricos sobre la variación sistemática en la producción de los aprendientes, la transferencia pragmática desde la lengua materna, la negociación del significado en la interacción y el efecto del contexto y del tipo de tarea sobre la actuación lingüística. El segundo volumen, Psycholinguistic Issues, cubre la vertiente psicolingüística.

In this paper I review the evidence for the Comprehension Hypothesis in oral language and literacy, and discuss the possibility that the Comprehension Hypothesis provides a plausible explanation for non-human language acquisition. The clearest data comes from several areas of research in animal language but we will also briefly consider what some of the possibilities are for other non-human species.

Resumen:

This book synthesises research on very early language learning in pre-primary organised instruction settings such as kindergarten, nursery or afternoon classes. Using a framework of ecological development, it investigates the nested systems in which very young learners operate, the other agents involved in each of these systems and the influence these agents have on children's foreign language learning. It explores the ecosystems of the individual learner and their family, educational institutions, general social climate and language education policies, resulting in a holistic view of early language learning and the key transitions into and out of pre-primary formal instruction settings.

This is the first book to gather research to date on very young learners in formal settings, offering a comprehensive state of the art to...

Resumen:

This book provides an overview and analysis of the role that classroom interaction plays in instructed second language acquisition. The authors synthesise current state-of-the-art research on how classroom interaction benefits L2 learning through the lens of three theoretical perspectives: cognitive-interactionist (with a focus on how conversational interaction may promote L2 processing and learning), sociocultural (which assumes that cognitive advances are located within social interaction) and language socialisation (which examines how learners position themselves and are positioned in social interaction, and how they establish their membership in the target language community).

They go on to critically examine how findings from this research can be applied to classroom practice in diverse L2 settings; they then provide...

Resumen:

This book is the first volume devoted to mindset theory and practice in language education, offering interdisciplinary investigations into the motivation, competencies, emotions and wellbeing of language learners and teachers. Presenting studies from a vast array of language learning environments, the chapters explore topics such as students' attitudes and motivation surrounding language learning, the effects of mindset on vocabulary acquisition, the mindsets of early career teachers and experienced language teachers, interventions on students' mindsets and interventions that strengthen language teachers' growth mindsets.

The findings presented in this book will be of great interest to instructors and researchers alike and present essential developments for the field of applied linguistics and psychology of language learning and...

Resumen:

This volume offers a rich overview of current research and teaching strategies for the integration of technology into language teaching and learning. It introduces the Planning, Personalization and Implementation (PPI) methodological framework to support educators in engaging with the theoretical foundations and innovative practices that should guide the incorporation of technology into their teaching practices. While Spanish language teaching is used as an example, the recommendations can be applied to any language learning contexts.

The 13 chapters address a broad range of themes including accessibility, curriculum design, teacher attitudes, motivation, anxiety and feedback, and offer guidance on using digital tools such as podcasts, gamification and artificial intelligence. Written by an international group of scholars, this...

Resumen:

When learners of a new language draw on their native language (or on any other that they may know), this earlier acquired linguistic knowledge may influence their success. Such cross-linguistic influence, also known as language transfer, has long raised questions about what linguists can predict about success in the new language and about what processes are involved in using prior knowledge. This book lucidly brings together many insights on transfer: e.g. on the relation between translation and transfer, the relation between comprehension and production, and the problem of how complete any predictions of difficulty may ever be. The discussions also explore implications for future research and for classroom practice. The book will thus serve as a reliable guide for teachers, researchers, translators, interpreters, and students curious...
