Cultura en clase de E/LE a través de cuentos alrededor del mundo
2015
This paper describes an experience carried out at the University of Iceland with students of Spanish as a Foreign Language within the TALIS project: Stories around the world in a 1-hour long class. The students' level ranged from B2 to C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The activities were planned so as to overcome the challenge of teaching a class without having met the students previously and without knowing neither about their previous knowledge nor their learning context first-hand. This was due to the fact that the lesson was given during a short Erasmus+ visit of the teacher in charge of delivering it. The activities carried out were based on written and a…
Cómo preparar la prueba de expresión oral de los diplomas B1 y B2 del DELE : consejos y actividades prácticas
2014
En el Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE), uno de los bloques que más preocupación causa tanto a profesores como a alumnos es el de expresión oral, por la escasez de materiales con los que se cuentan. Pocos son los recursos que se ofrecen en forma de manuales o en páginas web, como sí sucede en el ámbito del E/LE. En este artículo, mostraremos a los profesores de DELE, en los niveles B1 y B2, actividades prácticas que pueden poner en uso con sus estudiantes para preparar la prueba de expresión oral. Estas actividades tienen un perfil dinámico, interactivo y actual. Además, se mostrarán diferentes ámbitos temáticos en las actividades para cubrirlas expectativas de los estudiante…
The measurement invariance of Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) across three university student groups
2016
Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to apply a multigroup confirmatory analysis to examine the measurement invariance (MI) of the adapted version of the Job Diagnosis Survey (JDS) as a measurement tool that analyses the relationship between the features of teaching methodologies with university students’ motivation and satisfaction across data collected on different degrees and academic years. Design/methodology/approach: Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out using a multigroup structural equation model, using the program EQS 6.1 to test the invariance of the adapted version of JDS in a sample constituted by 535 student of a Spanish public university. The assessment of invaria…
Bathymetry time series using high spatial resolution satellite images
2020
The use of the new generation of remote sensors, such as echo sounders and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers with differential correction installed in a drone, allows the acquisition of high-precision data in areas of shallow water, as in the case of the channel of the Encañizadas in the Mar Menor lagoon. This high precision information is the first step to develop the methodology to monitor the bathymetry of the Mar Menor channels. The use of high spatial resolution satellite images is the solution for monitoring many hydrological changes and it is the basis of the three-dimensional (3D) numerical models used to study transport over time, environmental variability, and wa…
Optimizing artificial neural networks for the evaluation of asphalt pavement structural performance
2019
Artificial Neural Networks represent useful tools for several engineering issues. Although they were adopted in several pavement-engineering problems for performance evaluation, their application on pavement structural performance evaluation appears to be remarkable. It is conceivable that defining a proper Artificial Neural Network for estimating structural performance in asphalt pavements from measurements performed through quick and economic surveys produces significant savings for road agencies and improves maintenance planning. However, the architecture of such an Artificial Neural Network must be optimised, to improve the final accuracy and provide a reliable technique for enriching d…
Forma di vita e relazione educativa
2015
The aim of this paper is to show that the main object of pedagogical research is relationship among people who share the same context. The analysis follows a linguistic approach, from a theoretical and metaphysical kind of language to a language of forms of life. After the linguistic turn, particularly in Ludwig Wittgenstein, forsaking a Platonic language means throwing language in forms of life, and blending it with people and their lives. So an educational process has to leave the unique, traditional pattern to open itself to different voices of life.
VOX Spain: The Organisational Challenges of a New Radical Right Party
2021
This article examines the organisation of VOX, a new radical right party in Spain. It shows that the party has taken early and uneven steps to build a mass organisation and initially opted for open membership recruitment with participatory organisational elements. Also, the party’s rapid growth and quick entrance into political institutions at different state levels led the party leadership to establish more centralised control and limit members’ prerogatives, though recruitment continued. Centralisation in part responds to organisational needs given the party’s quickly acquired political relevance, but also to the desire of the central party leadership to forestall the articulation of terr…
El uso de materiales didácticos online destinados a la preparación del nuevo examen informatizado «CBFCE»
2010
[ES] A comienzos del año 2010 se hizo oficial la aparición del Computer-based First Certificate in English Examination (CBFCE), la versión informatizada del examen oficial de nivel B2 de Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE). Este examen, que evalúa las destrezas de aquellos candidatos que desean certificar el estar en posesión de un nivel de inglés intermedio-alto, venía realizándose desde hacía varias décadas en el formato tradicional impreso. No obstante, las exigencias actuales de la sociedad global de la comunicación, en que proporcionar la máxima eficiencia y efectividad es condición sine qua non, han motivado el que esta prestigiosa prueba adopte el formato informatizado, haci…
Teaching English as a foreign language in accordance with social-constructivist pedagogy
2013
RESUMEN: Este artículo postula que la enseñanza de una Lengua Extranjera (en este caso, del inglés) implica un obstáculo lingüístico que, si no se negocia de forma adecuada, puede hacer esta una tarea contradictoria con los principios básicos de la pedagogía socio-constructivista. Tras identificar este obstáculo y descartar algunas potenciales soluciones, el artículo recurre a los avances didácticos desarrollados en la Enseñanza del Inglés como Segunda Lengua durante las últimas dos décadas, un área ha permanecido más atenta a la naturaleza conflictiva de las interacciones sociales. A partir de este análisis, el artículo extrae algunos ejemplos de la literatura reciente para derivar un mode…
Tejuelo. Didáctica de la lengua y la literatura. Educación
2017
La traducción y los materiales audiovisuales han demostrado ser herramientas eficaces para el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. Hemos querido abordar la traducción audiovisual desde el punto de vista didáctico tomando una de sus modalidades, la subtitulación, para obtener evidencia de su eficacia como método pedagógico para la adquisición de léxico en una lengua extranjera. Para ello, hemos creado una serie de actividades basadas en un vídeo con subtítulos con el que pretendemos obtener un incremento en la adquisición de léxico y una mejora en la comprensión lectora y auditiva, y la expresión escrita de los alumnos.
