Perspectives of Intercultural Communication in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning
(Universidad de Huelva, 2022) Santos Sopena, Òscar O.; Antolín Pichel, Carmen
This article focuses on the intercultural approaches to teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Spain. Within communication and linguistic uses, we relate the concepts of communicative competence (Byram, 1997) to an intercultural speaker (Kramsch, 1998) with both learning and teaching at our technological educational context. These concepts will be approached from an intercultural perspective. In order to help future speakers of a language overcome above appointed issues, the idea is to set the theoretical foundation which helps us to elaborate an Academic Program bearing in mind how interculturality leads to different uses of grammar in L1 and L2. The main results will lead to adjusting EFL to current legislation, raise awareness on how interculturality is a really strong tool to understand grammar and on current limitations and further research to be done on this subject.
Building citizenship in Education for Development. Democracy of knowledge in emancipatory didactics
(Universidad de Huelva, 2022) Muñoz Sánchez, Práxedes
This article presents a reflection, experienced, on continuous training of aspects that favor the awareness of the person to live in and for the community, in terms of decolonizing didactic strategies and going to dialogic practices in favor of social transformations. Learning is based on applying theory to life practices that facilitate understanding of the need for a glolocal perspective and world system, with a focus on solidarity. For this, it is necessary to facilitate the understanding of language from the transnational complexity in terms of social and cultural diversity and identify the colonial from an imposed knowledge. This fact favors an education of non-conformism, as well as identifying the barriers in the acceptance of otherness, as a political act. After investigations into action and practical theoretical reflections in the classroom, strategies are presented that link the democracy of knowledge with didactic daily life, epistemologies, meanings and symbolic charges to facilitate the sense of co-responsibility for development.
Music as an enhacer of EFL spelling skills in diverse secondary classrooms
(Universidad de Huelva, 2022) García Carmona, Sofía; Fernández Corbacho, Analí
This research has as a main aim to check the benefits of using music in the FL classrooms, specifically with diverse student populations who present lower proficiency levels in the target language. In order to carry out this project, the design of a pedagogical intervention has been necessary. In particular, two groups of the first year of secondary education took part. One group belonged to a bilingual program, the other one was a group formed by students with some difficulties in their learning process, due to diverse circumstances. The intervention focused on teaching the spelling of the sounds /aɪ/, /eɪ/, /iː/ and of regular and irregular verbs in the past simple tense having music an essential role during the sessions. The intervention lasted three sessions, data was collected through two dictation passages made at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. Classroom observation also offered qualitative data. Data gathered show interesting results which are highly positive. However, some students would need more time to acquire the knowledge expected. Finally, some pedagogical implications for future teaching interventions are provided.
The consumption and reggaeton's language underdebate among adolescents
(Universidad de Huelva, 2022) González Gómez, Isabel; Delgado García, Manuel
Music is not just a simple pastime, as it also contributes to the construction of identities, promotes cultural development or generates close affective ties between those who share the same musical preferences. In recent years, reggaeton has become very popular, a musical genre admired by youth and characterized by containing, in its lyrics, discriminatory messages towards women. In this sense, it is vitally important to question the impact exerted on adolescents, where it has penetrated with greater impetus, analyzing the possible consequences that it may have when building or reinforcing macho thoughts. A qualitative research is proposed that tries to examine the perceptions of adolescents. Through two focus groups, the opinions of young people enrolled in the educational stages of 2nd ESO and 3rd ESO from two secondary education institutes in the province of Huelva are debated and confronted. During the focus group sessions, the participants question the relationship between different variables that emerge from the properties of the language used in some reggaeton lyrics, such as machismo or gender violence. The analysis of the speeches derived from the work sessions has been developed through the Maxqda software. The results reveal a type of music that is expanding as a trend among adolescents, whose messages are not clearly discriminated or prosecuted and which tend to normalize certain discriminatory behaviors towards women and reinforce macho thinking among the male gender. For all these reasons, the educational system must promote the creation of a musical culture that invites adolescents to be aware of and critically judge the music they listen to daily.
Video games lexicon included in Spanish language: a multiple case study
(Universidad de Huelva, 2022) Orta Casado, Javier; Peña Acuña, Beatriz
In our current society, the lexical treasure that Spanish has is made up of numerous words that recognize the expressions of a group of speakers. Due to technological development, this reality is present in the Internet space and among consumers of online content, who discover and learn, from this multimodal tool, new terms that ari-se daily, giving rise to new words. For this reason, in this dissertation, we aim to investigate and treat those terms of Spanish and English origin and even neologisms that make up the world of video games, with a viewing of 50 youtubers and an experimentation of 3 successful video games from which it will be obtained, terms which will be later collated to see how they are treated in the different dictionaries. Thirdly, the percentage of these terms will be calculated through the words collected in the Spanish and English reference corpora. It will also be addressed the attention video games receive recently as a didactic multimodal tool for learning vocabulary.
Graphic Organizers: Mind Maps as a tool to enhance Reading Comprehension skills
(Universidad de Huelva, 2022) Fernández Fernández, M. Ángeles; Fonseca Mora, María Carmen
Reading comprehension in L2 is perhaps the skill whose requirements have changed most and most rapidly due to the demand of the information society. Readers not only need to interpret words and sentences in articles or books: sometimes they have to make a meaning out of disconnected pieces of information in pouring messages on websites, and social networks. The purpose of the present study is to explore the possibilities of mind-mapping techniques in order to foster the reading comprehension abilities in students of English as L2 by working under the assumption that the latter can be improved when apparently loose pieces of written information are connected by means of images and lines. The experiment in the project involved a total of 84 participants of two consecutive academic levels: first and second year of post-compulsory secondary education. Different sessions and two parallel procedures were scheduled in order to provide us with contrasting data that could be systematized numerically. Even though the sessions that could be scheduled were limited in number, the analysis of the data suggests some noticeable improvement in the reading comprehension abilities in most participants and some perception of progress in a majority of them. Their positive feedback, suggests that sustained work in this field could improve their reading comprehension skills in a significant way.
