La voz como instrumento clave en la competencia comunicativa del docente universitario
2019
Actualmente, el perfil del profesor universitario engloba el desarrollo de competencias en áreas tan diferentes como complementarias: la docencia, la investigación y la gestión. En este trabajo se presenta una aproximación teórica al estado del arte respecto a las competencias del profesorado universitario en cuanto a su actuación docente. En concreto, se aborda la competencia comunicativa entendida como: a) la capacidad de formar enunciados que no solo sean gramaticalmente correctos sino también socialmente apropiados (Hymes, 1971) y b) el conjunto de conocimientos y destrezas/habilidades lingüísticas, discursivas, socioculturales que permiten la actuación eficaz y adecuada del hablante en…

Why we need TI-Oriented Language Learning and Teaching
2021
The teaching of foreign languages to students in Translation and Interpreting (TI) programmes should be framed within the field of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). This would make it possible to pinpoint specific curricular content and methodological traits that contribute to the enhancement of the communicative competence and initial development of TI competences. This paper analyses the students’ perspectives on L2 teaching in a TI programme and how it should be undertaken to best comply with the linguistic demands imposed by translation and interpreting. A thematic analysis of 117 open questionnaires returned by students from Austria, Slovenia and Spain identified five areas to whic…
Translation in foreign language teaching: A case study from a functional perspective
2014
Abstract There is little research available on using translation as a tool to develop students’ translation and communicative competence in foreign language programmes. This paper aims to fill this gap by reporting the results of a localized empirical study, using a functionalist theoretical framework. After a pre-translation source text analysis of three texts with EU topics, data were collected by two methods: a linguistic analysis of the student translations of these texts to identify and analyze the most common translation problems, and semi-structured interviews to explore their individual difficulties. The results show that a functional approach can sensitize students to the relations…
Practice and assessment of oral skills in developing online preparatory materials through the InGenio authoring shell

This article explores the ways in which the InGenio utilities, solutions and learning materials ar…
“Too much grammar will kill you!” Teaching Spanish as a foreign language in Norway: What teachers say about grammar teaching
2019
Exam results show that many Norwegian students lack communicative competence in their second foreign language. This study investigates Spanish language instruction in Norway, in particular Spanish teachers’ opinions about grammar teaching, and why and how grammar is taught in lower and upper secondary school. Furthermore, the study explores whether common grammar teaching approaches are primarily explicit (rules provided) or implicit (rules not provided), inductive (language first) or deductive (rules first), and whether the language of instruction is primarily Norwegian or Spanish. The data comprise interviews with teachers and classroom observations, as well as teaching plans and other ma…

A qualitative research design was implemented and data were collected through interviews with teachers and questionnaires answered by students. The results revealed that while teachers focus on the intercultural dimension of literature only in terms of the expan…
Znawca języka czy człowiek komunikujący się? O strukturze kompetencji językowo-komunikacyjnej ucznia klas IV–VI szkoły podstawowej wpisanej w podstaw…
2019
The article aims to answer two questions: how the language instruction framework was inscribed into the 2017/2018 Polish language curriculum and what image of the linguistic and communicative competence results from this document. The research method is based on the assumption that these two questions can be answered by analysing the cognitive operators used in the description of specific requirements. The article analyses the operators found in the ‘language instruction’ section of the curriculum. Within the linguistic and communicative competence, the document distinguishes among metalinguistic, analytical, linguistic (including normative and grammar-lexical competences) and communicative…
