Research on pre-task planning to date has mainly focused on task performance. However, the effects of planning are contingent on what learners actually do during planning time. One important factor that may determine the quality and usefulness of planning is whether it is done in the first language (L1) or the second language (L2). This research addresses this issue by investigating the relative benefits of collaborative planning in the L1 and L2 in terms of ideas generated and transferred to an oral problem-solving task. Seventy-two Japanese university EFL learners were randomly assigned to one of two planning conditions: L1P (L1 planning, Japanese) and L2P (L2 planning, English). Dyads in each group were given 10 minutes to plan the content of a problem-solving task in the respective languages before individually performing the timed 2.5-minute oral task. Data took the form of transcribed planning discussions and transcribed task performances. All data were coded for idea units and sorted into categories of problem–solution discourse structure (situation, problem, response, evaluation). A qualitative comparison of L1 and L2 planners’ generation of idea units during planning, transfer and performance was conducted to supplement the quantitative analysis. Findings indicate the L1P condition has significant advantages over the L2P condition in terms of idea conceptualization, but this advantage had a limited impact on subsequent L2 task performance. Pedagogical implications are discussed in terms of possibilities for productively incorporating L1 planning during task implementation in foreign language contexts where learners share a common first language.

This article examines the relationships between second language acquisition (SLA), instructed second language acquisition (ISLA), and language teaching by examining them from the lens of the research on the acquisition and teaching of second language (L2) tense-aspect in the last 20 years (2000–2021). Review 1 examines 56 instructional effect studies on the acquisition of L2 tense-aspect, and Review 2 examines 38 pedagogical proposals for the teaching of L2 tense-aspect. The reviews investigate to what extent instructional effect studies and pedagogical proposals with tense-aspect as the target of investigation and instruction (a) provide a linguistic description of the instructional target, (b) engage with previous research, (c) implement results from previous research to design assessment or instruction, and (d) include elaborate descriptions of teaching interventions and teaching materials. The results show that there are clear attempts to establish connections between research and practice. However, neither instructional effect studies nor pedagogical proposals always engage with the SLA literature on the acquisition of tense-aspect; nor do they engage fully with language teaching.

Este estudio exploratorio se centra en analizar las posibilidades de TikTok como herramienta de enseñanza y aprendizaje de LE/L2 en el contexto de un proyecto de telecolaboración entre estudiantes de español LE/L2 y profesores en formación de dos universidades en contextos geográficos distintos. El corpus está formado por cuarenta y dos tiktoks que se analizaron siguiendo cuatro criterios principales: la temática y contenido, la tipología, los componentes multimodales y otros recursos que intervienen su producción. Además, se analizaron las reflexiones de los participantes con el fin de averiguar sus percepciones en cuanto al uso de esta aplicación como espacio de enseñanza y aprendizaje de LE/L2. Los resultados del estudio constatan el potencial didáctico de esta aplicación tanto para los aprendientes de LE/L2 como para los docentes que quieran incluir un canal digital diverso de comunicación multimodal e incorporar nuevos espacios para crear y compartir material audiovisual.

This edited book expands the current scholarship on teaching world languages for social justice and equity in K-12 and postsecondary contexts in the US. Over the past decade, demand has been growing for a more critical approach to teaching languages and cultures: in response, this volume brings together a group of scholars whose work bridges the fields of world language education and critical approaches to education. Within the current US context, the chapters address the following key questions: (1) How are pre-service or in-service world language teachers/professors embedding issues, understandings, or content related to social justice, human rights, access, critical pedagogy and equity into their teaching and curriculum? (2) How are teacher educators preparing language teachers to teach for social justice, human rights, access and equity?

Desde hace más de tres décadas se ha animado a usar los corpus en las aulas de segundas lenguas (L2). A pesar del apoyo que muchos investigadores dan a esta idea, parece que esta práctica docente aún está lejos de haberse generalizado en la enseñanza de español lengua extranjera (LE), segunda lengua (L2) o lengua de herencia (LH). Este artículo pretende conectar las necesidades del aula con las herramientas de corpus disponibles en la actualidad. Para ello se revisan tendencias de enseñanza de español LE/L2/LH junto a estudios empíricos y propuestas didácticas con corpus de español como primera lengua (L1). Además, se tienen también en cuenta las perspectivas de las autoras en su uso didáctico de corpus con estudiantes universitarios anglófonos. Este artículo pretende recordar la importancia de una investigación que se nutra de las perspectivas y necesidades de los profesores. Desde esta óptica resulta más sencillo descubrir cómo pueden contribuir a la enseñanza las herramientas de corpus.

For more than three decades, researchers have encouraged using corpora in the second language (L2) classroom. Still, despite the support many researchers express for this idea, it seems the use of corpora in Spanish as an L2, foreign language (FL), and heritage language (HL) classrooms remains rare. This article aims to elucidate how successful integration of corpus tools depends on a clear link between tools and classroom needs. In order to do so, common pedagogical trends in the L2 Spanish classroom will be reviewed along with empirical studies and didactic proposals that demonstrate how first language (L1) Spanish corpora can be used, while keeping in mind the application of corpora both from the perspective of students and instructors. The authors’ experiences, as instructors and researchers, will also guide part of this conversation. At the same time, this article aims to highlight the importance of conducting research informed by the perspectives and needs of instructors. From this angle, it is easier to discover how corpus tools can contribute to the classroom by pursuing a broader vision of multiple possibilities for corpus use.

Este trabajo examina las ideologías de género en los manuales de ELE más recientes. Tradicionalmente tachados de sexistas (v. Instituto de la Mujer, 1996), estos materiales didácticos han sido transformados en la última década gracias a una fuerte presión de la comunidad académica (Kuzmanovic Jovanovic y Djuricic, 2015), resultando en unas representaciones de género más equilibradas y equitativas. Incluso se ha producido un fenómeno de «feminización» de esos libros (Copley, 2017; Kuzmanovic Jovanovic, 2020). Sin embargo, se ha postulado que esta feminización es superficial y una consecuencia de la influencia de la ideología neoliberal, que impone «un ideal de personas independientes, emprendedoras y exitosas, tanto para hombres como para mujeres» (Kuzmanovic Jovanovic, 2020: 162). Este análisis parte de las conclusiones de trabajos anteriores que exploran las ideologías de género en los manuales de ELE (Kuzmanovic Jovanovic, 2016, 2020; Kuzmanovic Jovanovic y Djuricic, 2015, 2016), intentando encontrar el patrón detrás de las representaciones de mujeres en un corpus muy reciente (tres colecciones de manuales de ELE publicados en los últimos tres años por tres grandes editoriales españolas). Los resultados del análisis demuestran que, a pesar de una predominación de caracteres femeninos, en estos libros falta una variedad de experiencias femeninas, ya que la figura femenina predominante es la modelada según el ideal neoliberal. Así incluso la feminización de los manuales de ELE sirve no para promover una verdadera igualdad de géneros y justicia social, sino para mantener el statu quo social.
