Virginia Woolf : between writing and disease

The authors offer an analysis of mental illness in the work of a key twentieth century author: Virginia Woolf. A critical review of her literary legacy allows us to get closer to what might be one of the most intense literary portrayals of illness and its metaphors and, at the same time, to the representations, euphemisms, silences, and monsters depicted in the chapters of her life and in the unique voice of an essential author.

A Qualitative Study Based on the Reading-life Histories of Future Teachers

Abstract One of the tools that have been used in research on literary education is what are known as reading-life histories or the reading autobiography. In this paper we will offer an analysis and some reflections on the different ways these can be used, by drawing on a sample of histories collected from students training to be teachers since the implementation of the new university curricula within what is known as the European Bologna process. The findings from this analysis open up a range of possibilities in research and innovation in literary training.

Literatura y cultura para una didáctica intercultural del español como lengua extranjera (ELE)

This work evolves around a main purpose: to analyze the role of literature in the pedagogy of Spanish as a Foreign Language from an intercultural perspective. From this standpoint, we reflect about the importance of the term Spanish Literature to defend the different literatures implied in the syntagm; hence, we study how comparative literature becomes the main tool to understand linguistic, cultural and literary diversity. We consider that these two ideas should be in the pedagogical profile of the Spanish as a Foreign Language professor.

Didáctica (lengua y literatura)

El aumento del racismo y la xenofobia en las sociedades europeas y el hecho de que los marroquíes, en particular, constituyan el colectivo inmigrante más rechazado por los españoles motiva la propuesta de club de lectura a partir de dos obras de LIJ (literatura infantil y juvenil) de autoras transculturales, en el marco de la educación literaria e intercultural, que presentamos en este artículo y que proponemos evaluar a través de un cuestionario pretest-postest, empleando un diseño de investigación cuasi-experimental. Con esta perseguimos que el alumnado de Secundaria al que se dirige tenga ocasión de: (1) incrementar sus conocimientos sobre la cultura árabe, (2) reflexionar sobre el desar…

Numerous studies, at international level, confirm thatlinguistic immersion is the most successful method for language learning. However the belief that the teaching of the Valencian language is detrimental to learning Castillian Spanish has been an important underlying obstacle. This paper presents research carried out in four schools in Valencia and Teruel to statistically evaluate the influence of different language teaching programmes on Reading comprehension in Ca…
