Autonomous Learning Through Task-Based Instruction In Fully Online Language Courses, Lina Lee
Autonomous Learning Through Task-Based Instruction In Fully Online Language Courses, Lina Lee
Languages, Literatures & Cultures
This study investigated the affordances for autonomous learning in a fully online learning environment involving the implementation of task-based instruction in conjunction with Web 2.0 technologies. To that end, four-skill-integrated tasks and digital tools were incorporated into the coursework. Data were collected using midterm reflections, post-surveys and final interviews from two online elementary language courses. The results indicate that the types of tasks and digital tools utilized fostered learner autonomy in different ways. Structured tasks enabled students to work independently to create content, whereas open-ended tasks allowed them more freedom in exploring the understanding of a particular topic through social …

Felipe Cussen was in trouble. He needed help to correct a poem. He sent some friends and acquaintances a desperate call. The three volumes of Correcciones are the result. Volume I collates the Spanish-language responses. Volume II collates the English-language responses. Volume III collates the visual responses. Scott Weintraubs response is found on page 13 of Volume II.

Finding (The Other) Juan Luis Martínez, Scott Weintraub
Languages, Literatures & Cultures
According to Chilean poet Juan Luis Martínez’s groundbreaking art object La nueva novela (The New Novel, 1977), “The universe is a phantom’s effort to become reality.”[1] In July 2014 I found that phantom. His name is Juan (Luis) Martinez and he is a retired journalist and aid worker for the International Committee of the Red Cross. This Swiss-Catalan writer currently resides in the Valais Alps, 200 kilometers from Geneva, and he had never read more than a passing reference to his Chilean double — which he largely ignored — until I first spoke with him on July 29, 2014.

Blogging: Promoting Learner Autonomy And Intercultural Competence Through Study Abroad, Lina Lee
Blogging: Promoting Learner Autonomy And Intercultural Competence Through Study Abroad, Lina Lee
Languages, Literatures & Cultures
The current study explores closely how using a combined modalities of asynchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) via blogs and face-to-face (FTF) interaction through ethnographic interviews with native speakers (L1s) supports autonomous learning as the result of reflective and social processes. The study involves 16 American undergraduate students who participated in blogs to develop their intercultural competence over the course of one-semester study abroad. The results show that blogs afforded students the opportunity to work independently (e.g., content creation) and reflect upon cross-cultural issues. Critical reflection, however, relied on the teacher’s guidance and feedback, as most of the students were cognitively challenged …

Languages, Literatures & Cultures
En este artículo para el número especial de Revista Chilena de Literatura que conmemora el bicentenario chileno, exploro múltiples conexiones literarias, científicas, y geográficas entre el poema Altazor de Vicente Huidobro y los contextos filosófico-científicos globales de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Evalúo el impacto de una serie de caídas lingüísticas, críticas, alegóricas y gravitacionales en la trayectoria del “viaje en paracaídas” de Altazor, para volver a considerar, desde varias perspectivas críticas que tratan la “ilegible” y ambigua conclusión del poema, el impacto de un evento lingüístico en el campo de gravedad del poema. De esta manera, el artículo …

Focus-On-Form Through Collaborative Scaffolding In Expert-To-Novice Online Interaction, Lina Lee
Focus-On-Form Through Collaborative Scaffolding In Expert-To-Novice Online Interaction, Lina Lee
Languages, Literatures & Cultures
Synchronous Computer-mediated communication (CMC) creates affordable learning conditions to support both meaning-oriented communication and focus-on-form reflection that play an essential role in the development of language competence. This paper reports how corrective feedback was negotiated through expert-to-novice collaborative efforts and scaffolding with 30 subjects working on three different tasks—jigsaw, spot-the-differences and open-ended question. The findings reveal that text chats supported the focus-on-form procedure through collaborative engagement. Despite the fact that the experts were able to provide step-by-step scaffolding at the right moment to call learners’ attention to non-target-like-forms that resulted in error corrections, they needed to be made aware of …

Learners' Perspectives On Networked Collaborative Interaction With Native Speakers Of Spanish In The Us, Lina Lee
Languages, Literatures & Cultures
In this paper, I discuss a network-based collaborative project that focused on the learning conditions non-native speakers (NNSs) of Spanish perceived to be necessary to satisfactoraly communicate with native speakers (NSs). Data from online discussions, end-of-semester surveys, and final oral interviews are presented and discussed. The results of this study demonstrated that the NNS and NS online collaboration promoted the scaffolding by which the NSs assisted the NNSs in composing meaning (ideas) and form (grammar). In addition, the NNSs praised the unique learning condition of being exposed to a wide range of functional language discourse produced by the NSs. Students …

Evaluating Intermediate Spanish Students' Speaking Skills Through A Taped Test: A Pilot Study, Lina Lee
Languages, Literatures & Cultures
A pilot study used the Spanish Oral Proficiency Test (SOPT)-a taped oral test to evaluate oral proficiency level of students of Intermediate Spanish. Based on the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines (1986), the Intermediate-Mid was the appropriate level of oral proficiency for students at the end of two years of college- level language study. The study also examined what variables might affect the development of students' oral skills. The results showed that foreign language learning experience in academic settings or outside of class, such as study abroad and travel abroad, might affect students' overall speaking proficiency. In addition, lin- guistic inaccuracy from …
