Languages, Literatures & Cultures

Las lenguas que se usan en todo el mundo son sistemas ricos y diferentes que permiten a los miembros de las diferentes comunidades de habla comunicarse a diario de forma oral y escrita. La importancia de una comunicación exitosa es obvia, especialmente para acceder a los servicios públicos como el sistema judicial o la asistencia médica. Tanto los ciudadanos como los profesionales en estos campos tienen que asegurarse de poder comunicar la información de forma adecuada. Sin embargo, en estos sistemas, históricamente no siempre se ha garantizado el acceso a la información en el caso de grupos migratorios por la …

El Uso Y UbicacióN Del LeíSmo En La PeníNsula IbéRica Desde Siglo Xiii Hasta Siglo Xx, Anthony Scalise

Languages, Literatures & Cultures

El leísmo es un fenómeno lingüístico en el cual hay el reemplazamiento del pronombre del objeto acusativo, lo, con el pronombre del objeto dativo, le. Suele ocurrir con objetos masculinos, humanos, y animados, aunque puede ocurrir con objetos masculinos, animados, no humanos como los animales. En este estudio, se trata de contestar cuanto uso del leísmo había en la Península Ibérica, donde había tal uso del leísmo en la Península Ibérica, y cuál es el origen del leísmo en la Península Ibérica. Los clíticos vienen por el CORDE, un banco de datos por la Real Academia Española, en …

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 …

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

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 …

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

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 …
