Situating Grammar Instruction In The World Language Classroom: Four Content-Enriched Strategies, Todd A. Hernández
Situating Grammar Instruction In The World Language Classroom: Four Content-Enriched Strategies, Todd A. Hernández
Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications
The role of grammar instruction in promoting communicative competence continues to be a controversial issue for the world language classroom teacher. Second language acquisition research suggests that critical to sustained progress in language use is a focus on form, which we define as attention to linguistic form in the context of performing a communicative task. We therefore offer here four content-enriched strategies for situating grammar in a communicative context: textual enhancement, input flood, structured input, and dictogloss. We present these tasks and activities within the framework of the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century (SFLL, 2006) to …

The Effect Of Explicit Instruction And Input Flood On Students' Use Ofspanish Discourse Markers On A Simulated Oral Proficiency Interview, Todd A. Hernandez
Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications
This study investigates the effect of explicit instruction and input flood on students' use of Spanish discourse markers on a simulated oral proficiency interview. Students in the experimental group (n = 10) were provided with explicit instruction on the function and use of discourse markers to narrate an event in the past time frame. This group also received a flood of input that contained an increased incidence of discourse markers. Students were then presented with opportunities for communicative practice and corrective feedback. In contrast, students in the control group (n = 9) did not receive explicit instruction on the use …
Integrative Motivation As A Predictor Of Achievement In The Foreign Language Classroom, Todd A. Hernandez
Integrative Motivation As A Predictor Of Achievement In The Foreign Language Classroom, Todd A. Hernandez
Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications
This study examines the relationship among five independent variables—integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, the need to fulfill a foreign language requirement, grade point average (GPA), and previous years studying Spanish—as predictors of five dependent variables: scores on a simulated oral proficiency interview (SOPI), final exam grades, final grades, the desire to enroll in Spanish courses after completing the language requirement, and intention to major in Spanish. Data from a questionnaire and a SOPI administered to 130 students enrolled in fourth-semester Spanish identified integrative motivation as a significant predictor of SOPI scores and final exam grades. Furthermore, integrative motivation was a significant …

Information Gap Activities: A Standards-Based Strategy For Promoting Oral Proficiency In A Thematic Context, Paul A. Garcia, Todd A. Hernandez
Information Gap Activities: A Standards-Based Strategy For Promoting Oral Proficiency In A Thematic Context, Paul A. Garcia, Todd A. Hernandez
Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications
This article demonstrates how the sustained use of standards-driven information gap activities (IGAs) supports and enhances the development of speaking skills. In the first section, we define the IGA. We then discuss recent research showing how IGAs promote focused student-student interactions. In the third section we provide a blueprint for implementing the IGA in a standards-based thematic context. We conclude with content-based models from a thematic unit on Argentina that are appropriate for both secondary and post-secondary classrooms.
Integrative Motivation As A Predictor Of Success In The Intermediate Foreign Language Classroom, Todd A. Hernandez
Integrative Motivation As A Predictor Of Success In The Intermediate Foreign Language Classroom, Todd A. Hernandez
Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications
This study investigates the ability of three variables—integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, and the need to fulfill a university foreign language requirement—to predict: (1) scores on a simulated oral proficiency interview (SOPI) and (2) the desire to enroll in a foreign language after fulfilling the language requirement. Analysis of data from a questionnaire and a SOPI administered to 130 students completing their fourth‐semester Spanish course identified integrative motivation as a significant predictor of both SOPI scores and students' desire to continue studying Spanish beyond the four‐semester foreign language requirement. A negative relationship was also found between the need to fulfill the …

The Social And Moral Principles In The Dramas Of Manuel Tamayo Y Baus, Sylvia Potuondo
The Social And Moral Principles In The Dramas Of Manuel Tamayo Y Baus, Sylvia Potuondo
Bachelors’ Theses
Of Tamayo y Baus it may be said as of the poets, that he was born and not made a dramatist. A friendly biographer, who lived in intimate relation with him, tells us that this great genius, like the gods or old, always appeared to him enveloped in a cloud. His actions were ever in conformity with his art-- even his death was as if practiced and rehearsed in anticipation, but on reading his critics we learn how very human was his life.
Plays Of The Quinteros, Carolyn Elizabeth Stehling
Plays Of The Quinteros, Carolyn Elizabeth Stehling
Bachelors’ Theses
Dramatic poetry began but late in Spain, though it was to flower there so brilliantly. In Spain, as in France, England, and in fact in practically all other countries, the drama grew out of the liturgical cere¬ monies of the Church. Some of them, in particular the Passion and Nativity adapted themselves readily to stage presentations. These elements developed when French Monks introduced, together with other customs of their native Churches, this type of literature which was already flourishing in France. The legal texts of the Middle Ages, the "Puerto Juzgo" and later the "Siete Partidas", shed some light upon …
The Development Of The Historical Novel In Spain, Genevieve O'Leary
The Development Of The Historical Novel In Spain, Genevieve O'Leary
Bachelors’ Theses
The historical novel which may be found among the literary works of almost every land was an offshoot of that cosmopolitan wave coming in the middle of the eighteenth century, known as Romanticism. In the main this new trend emphasized the supremacy of the emotions over the intellect, ·a naturalness foreign to the prevailing classic literature.
The Life And Work Of Vicente Blasco Ibanez, Erma C. Fuller
The Life And Work Of Vicente Blasco Ibanez, Erma C. Fuller
Bachelors’ Theses
Though a Valencian by birth Blasco Ibanez came of a family who emigrated from the old Kingdom of Aragon whose people were the unconquerable in the days of Napoleon's Spanish Campaign. He was born on January 29, 1867, and thus had a childhood which was profoundly impressed with such events as the Carlist War, the Bourbon Abdication, the Brief reign of the "Princeling of Piedmont," the short-lived Republic of Castelar, and the bourbon Restoration. These events doubtless exerted considerable influence over certain phases of his life.

A Comparison Of The Work Of B. Perez Galdos And A. Palacio Valdes, Kathryne Oelhafen
Bachelors’ Theses
At the beginning of the nineteenth century Spain was swept by the tide of Romanticism but after the first fervor had spent itself, the Spaniards returned to realism, their natural bent.
