Teachers’ perspectives on telecollaboration in secondary school foreign language education
2018
In recent years, telecollaboration has proved to be a useful tool in the acquisition of foreign languages and intercultural communicative skills (Belz 2003b; Clavel-Arroitia, Pennock-Speck 2015a, 2015b; Hewitt, Brett 2007; O’Dowd 2007; Su et al., 2005). This paper focuses on how prepared secondary-school teachers believe they are in order to successfully implement telecollaboration in the classroom. To gather information on their views we carried out an online survey of 179 secondary school foreign language teachers and a series of focus group interviews in the context of a European project, TeCoLa. The advantage of the double- pronged approach to data collection, quantitative and qualitati…
A new approach to register variation : the missing link
2006
El objetivo del presente artículo es dirigir la atención de los especialistas hacia la noción de registro lingüístico con el fin de promover nuevos métodos de analizar los registros actuales. A pesar de la falta de claridad en su definición y la frecuente confusión con otros tipos de variación lingüística, el movimiento a través de toda la gama de registros es uno de los instrumentos comunicativos más efectivos y de uso más frecuente que posee una lengua para adaptarse a los diversos entornos privados, sociales y profesionales. Sin embargo, este movimiento es uno de los mecanismos más difíciles de percibir, aprender y utilizar correctamente, sobre todo en el caso de hablantes extranjeros y …
Avaluació de l'experiència de l'ús del valencià com llengua d'ensenyament a l'Educació General Bàsica

Perdre le fil: labyrinthes de la littérature française moderne
2009
From the day when Theseus killed the Minotaur, the Maze turned into a form in search of meaning, and became useless. As a result, one was enjoined to ascribe nw meanings to the empty strcuture. Modern writers, when confronted with such a void, will have explored all its possibilities: while some of them, like Michel Butor, dismiss the sacred dimensions, others, like Serge Doubrovsky, see in it the image of the self (the body, the psyche...), and others still, like Raymond Roussel, Alain Robbe-Grillet or Georges Pererc, make of the pure geometrical structure of the labyrinth an aesthetic model, and thus a mirror of the work of art. However, one still have to ask whether the labrinth is a val…
Anàlisi crítica d’aplicacions de lectura per a infants: paràmetres i indicadors
2018
Les aplicacions de lectura digital infantil han evolucionat considerablement al llarg dels últims anys. Tanmateix, segueixen sent les grans oblidades en informes i estadístiques sobre la producció editorial i més encara dins del sector digital, cosa que origina un fenomen d’infoxicació en què el mediador es troba amb pocs criteris que faciliten la selecció d’aquest nou tipus de continguts. Aquesta investigació presenta els resultats de l’anàlisi de tretze aplicacions de lectura en les seues dimensions de forma i contingut. Alhora, s’hi observen trets com ara el mode d’adquisició, la privacitat, l’organització de continguts o la personalització. Finalment, reflexionarem sobre l’adequació del…
L'aragonés i el lèxic valencià. Una aproximació
2002
This paper shows that the contact with Aragonese has shaped the structure of Valencian vocabulary. Many words traditionally accounted for as Valencian mozarabisms should rather be viewed as aragonesisms or castilianisms; some of them arrived in remote times, as the new Valencian Kingdom was being populated. The penetration of these words must have been strengthened when the linguistic reference model weakened as from the 16th century. The texts show, from early times, the coexistence of two synonyms (Aragonese/Catalan word) which, after a covariation period, ended up with the prevalence of the word closest to Aragonese (or to Spanish, in later periods). The old word was either given up or l…
Reading Disabilities in children with Specific Language Impairment
2019
El presente estudio examinó el rendimiento en lectura de los niños con Trastorno Específico del Lenguaje (TEL). Treinta niños con TEL y 32 niños con desarrollo normal del lenguaje, equilibrados en género, edad cronológica e inteligencia, fueron evaluados mediante el PROLEC-R. Los resultados de los ANOVAs indicaron que ambos grupos difieren en el rendimiento en lectura. Como grupo, los niños con TEL tuvieron significativamente un rendimiento inferior, tanto en la exactitud como en el tiempo de la lectura de palabras y pseudopalabras, por lo que tenían una menos eficacia de lectura. En la misma línea, el rendimiento de los niños con TEL en comprensión literal e inferencial también fue inferio…
Soglie narrative e fotografiche in “Leggenda privata” di Michele Mari
2018
The aim of the paper is to analyze the narrative and photographic thresholds of Leggenda privata by Michele Mari (2017). The first case is a rhetorical artifice, a horror-gothic-fantastic narrative threshold, that Mari creates to distinguish the present of writing from the past of memories, intended, as I will try to demonstrate, to problematize the crucial questions of autobiography: incipit and explicit of the narration, literature and bios, fiction and non-fiction. Mari adds another expedient to this one: the inclusion of family photographs, selected from his personal archive, and that, for the variety of their authors, reveal another threshold, that between the writer and the photograph…
„Na Ukrainie za owych dobrych czasów” – „Przed laty. Powieść ukraińska” Paulina Święcickiego
2020
The forgotten work and life of Paulin Święcicki (1841–1876), a writer from Kiev region and active in Galicia, represents a rare, authentic example of Polish‑Ukrainian cultural border. His debut work entitled 'Przed laty. Powieść ukraińska' (1865), despite being an artistic failure, is an interesting link between the heritage of the Romantic 'Ukrainian School' and the historical vision of Polish Borderlands in With fire and sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz. The creation of the 17th‑century reality of Ukrainian grasslands (noble, rural and Cossack existence), battle scenes (fights against the Tatars), romantic‑melodramatic plot – these are all adapted to a unique Ukrainian (not Polish‑centred) per…
Teaching Language and Literature: A Question of Balance?
2015
Abstract Regarding the teaching of Catalan, four textbooks were created in the 1970s and 80s, which included a complete work of literature, with numerous grammar and lexical commentaries, and exercises about the literary text. The author who is the link between these books is the grammarian Albert Jane i Riera, a writer and linguist who has been a leading figure in Catalan culture as the editor of the children's magazine Cavall Fort . Our aim with this synchronic and diachronic study is to vindicate the importance of the educational proposals we have analysed, as well as the appropriateness and the need of teaching language and literature to regain and consolidate their mutually enriching r…
