La telecolaboración entre grupos heterogéneos en la clase de lengua extranjera
2014
[ES] En la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras, numerosos profesores trabajan las competencias lingüísticas y comunicativas por medio de actividades que incluyen las TIC. Entre ellas, se encuentran los proyectos de telecolaboración por Internet, intercambios asincrónicos y sincrónicos, entre grupos de estudiantes pertenecientes a diferentes comunidades lingüísticas distantes geográficamente. Nuestro objetivo ha consistido en comprobar si un proyecto de telecolaboración sincrónico entre grupos heterogéneos de estudiantes, con distintos perfiles y niveles en lengua extranjera, es factible y si contribuye al desarrollo de las competencias comunicativas, intercuturales y tecnológicas.

La didáctica de lenguas extranjeras en los estudios de Traducción e Interpretación. ¿Qué nos dice la investigación?
2020
[EN] The knowledge of both foreign and mother languages constitutes a core competence in translator and interpreter training, as professional translation cannot exist if this competence has not been previously consolidated. Nevertheless, research regarding the teaching and acquisition of foreign languages within Translation and Interpreting studies is extremely scarce and its practice frequently adheres to general pedagogical models which do not keep to the ultimate goal and main objectives that should lay down the foreground for this type of teaching. On this basis, this article aims to discuss the main literature derived from this field of expertise and offer a reflection on the teaching …

2015
One of the most interesting and recent teaching approach that is attracting insistently both academic and teaching environments, is the Flipped Classroom, or Inverted Classroom. The class, where there is a turning over of the activities with the purpose of making both lessons and individual study more interesting and productive is “flipped”.

The flipped is also an answer to the teacher's aim to solve problems related to the learning process, that means, to create the best condition through…

2013
This paper aims to identify factors explaining the level of proficiency in written French by immigrants in working age, knowing that few research has been conducted in France on this issue.

The main results show that mother tongue, age at immigration, social life and mother's diploma are elements which influence the effectiveness of this production. They play a crucial role in the ability of immigrants to use effectively their duration of stay in France and their length of education, cons…

2015
The role of playing as an extremely effective teaching tool with learners at every age has been already well acknowledged by authors from all over the world. In the FL classroom the fundamental characteristic of the gaming approach is the turn over of the perspective that not only emphasizes the affective relationship that occurs between teacher and student in the teaching/learning process, but also underlines the centrality of the learner as the main actor in the learning process. Games in the classroom help create communicative and significant learning environments where attention to individuals or to special education needs, respect of the rules, cooperation, solidarity, overcoming of di…
