Bibliografía - enseñanza de la pronunciación

Texto completo PDF icon

Al contrario de lo que se suele pensar, la fonética no debe entenderse como una actividad de relleno para cuadrar los últimos minutos de la clase. Tiene su propio peso específico y hay que utilizarla y valorarla como tal. Con el fin de ejemplificar esto, utilizando una L2 para la mayoría de nosotros como puede ser el inglés, sería difícil entender la diferencia entre «TURN ON the TELEVISION» OOoOooo y «TURN on the TELEVISION» OooOooo si basamos la explicación simplemente en términos gramaticales.

Cuando se dedica algo de tiempo en el aula de ELE a la práctica de la pronunciación, existe una tendencia generalizada a pensar que la dinámica que hay que seguir es trabajar exclusivamente los elementos segmentales de la lengua (los sonidos) en detrimento de los elementos suprasegmentales (la acentuación, el ritmo y la entonación) y estos últimos no solo se interponen también en nuestro camino a la hora de comprender una L2, sino que están cargados de significado.

Key Issues in the Teaching of Spanish Pronunciation: From Description to Pedagogy is a resource that encourages Spanish teachers and curriculum designers to increase their incorporation of pronunciation into the classroom. Combining theory and practical guidance, it will help language practitioners integrate the teaching of Spanish pronunciation with confidence and effectiveness. The international group of scholars across its 15 chapters is made up of individuals with well-established research records and training in best pedagogical practices.

Glossary

Tras años de desatención en la metodología y en las aulas, la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la pronunciación están viviendo un retorno a las aulas acompañados de un creciente interés en la investigación (Gil Fernández 2007, 2012). 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. En este artículo ofrecemos un estudio de las creencias y las actitudes de profesores australianos de español como lengua extranjera (ELE) en relación con la enseñanza de la pronunciación. Los datos proceden de profesores de varios niveles educativos y de diferentes estados o territorios australianos. En el estudio mostramos que a la comunidad docente no solamente le interesa la pronunciación, sino que también ha recibido algún tipo de formación. También establecemos una comparación con las conclusiones más relevantes a las que han llegado trabajos similares en otros países. Este tipo de estudio es esencial para poder dar a conocer la opinión entre los profesores de ELE en Australia (Pajares 1992; Borg 2003, 2006). De este modo, queremos contribuir a llenar un vacío existente en los estudios de ELE en esta parte del mundo.

After years of neglect both in theory and in classrooms, the teaching and learning of pronunciation is undergoing a classroom revival and increasing research interest (Gil Fernández 2007, 2012). In Australia, compared to the situation of other much more established school languages—especially Asian languages—Spanish has not enjoyed a big presence and has not figured equally as a language of pedagogical study. This shortage extends to the opinions and needs of the teachers. In this article we present a study of the beliefs and attitudes of teachers of Spanish in Australia with regards to teaching pronunciation. The data were obtained from teachers of different educational stages and working in several Australian states or territories. In this study we show that the surveyed teachers are interested in pronunciation and are well trained. We also carry out a comparison with the most relevant conclusions reached by similar studies undertaken in other countries. A study of this nature is crucial to uncover the opinions in this teaching community (Pajares 1992; Borg 2003, 2006). With this article we want to contribute to closing the current gap in the field of Spanish language teaching in this part of the world.

La enseñanza de la pronunciación ha sido un asunto muy debatido en la enseñanza de segundas lenguas pero la pronunciación no siempre ha recibido en el aula la atención necesaria. Desde la perspectiva de los componentes de los métodos de enseñanza, este artículo repasa las principales contribuciones teóricas sobre la adquisición de los sonidos de las segundas lenguas y los procedimientos que derivan de estas aportaciones teórica.

This article presents the Spanish version of the Computer-Assisted Listening and Speaking Tutor (CALST), an online platform that can be used to complement pronunciation training in the classroom. The Spanish CALST offers listening, speaking, and spelling exercises for Northern-Central Peninsular Spanish as an L2. Exercises are tailored by an automatic comparison with the learner’s native language based on a database of phonetically specified phoneme inventories for over 500 languages, with the result that learners with different L1s are exposed to different exercises adapted to their specific needs. In this article, we present a description of the exercises as well as the criteria used to develop Spanish content for CALST. We discuss the limitations of the platform, the logging of user results as a partial solution to these limitations, and the possible future use of the logged data to increase our understanding of L2 acquisition.

Voice and Mirroring in L2 Pronunciation Instruction presents an approach to teaching pronunciation which aims for learners to internalize the “voices” (complexes of linguistic and non-linguistic features that embody particular speakers’ emotion, social stance, and group identification) of proficient speakers of the second language (L2). Beginning with a review of “bottom-up” and “top-down” approaches to second language acquisition (SLA) research and pronunciation teaching, the authors present previously published and new findings in interlanguage phonology and variationist approaches to SLA showing the powerful impact of sociolinguistic context on L2 pronunciation. On the basis of this review, the authors argue that a top-down approach which begins with social context is preferable in both the research and teaching of L2 pronunciation. They highlight the Mirroring Project as one such approach that includes the social factors impacting L2 pronunciation, such as interlocutor, empathy, and nonverbal elements. With accompanying instructional activities that have been used in a variety of teaching and learning settings in the U.S., the authors demonstrate how this project can help language learners modify their L2 pronunciation patterns and improve their intelligibility as they internalize and channel the voices of speakers they have selected as models.

The audience for the volume includes language teachers, particularly those desiring to use top-down pedagogical approaches like the Mirroring Project to improve learners’ intelligibility, and academic researchers interested in studying the way adults can acquire second language phonology by holistically adopting and channeling the voices of speakers they admire. The book is also of potential interest to language teacher educators, curriculum developers, and textbook writers.
