Abstract
espanolEste articulo presenta un estudio cualitativo centrado en las experiencias de catorce estudiantes de ingles (ELL, English Language Learners) en escuelas secundarias urbanas norteamericanas cuya finalidad es conocer las estructuras que afectan a su capacidad de actuacion, particularmente las relacionadas con la ensenanza y el aprendizaje. En primer lugar se ofrece una vision general de la literatura sobre las experiencias de los estudiantes de ingles en las escuelas de Estados Unidos. Posteriormente se describen las caracteristicas y el diseno de la investigacion, y los resultados obtenidos. Por ultimo, se ofrecen conclusiones e implicaciones de la investigacion. Las estructuras especificas de las aulas, de las escuelas y de la comunidad afectan a la capacidad del alumnado para acceder a los recursos necesarios para satisfacer sus necesidades sociales y de aprendizaje. Utilizando un marco metodologico de investigacion narrativa encontramos que estas incluian (i) Recursos: el espacio, el tiempo, y un esquema de atencion que fueron creados por las practicas docentes; (ii) Obstaculos: malas practicas instructivas, falta de empatia hacia las experiencias de los estudiantes, y menores oportunidades de acceso al plan de estudios EnglishThis article describes a qualitative study that focused on the experiences of 14 English Language Learner (ELL) students in urban high schools in the United States. The study investigated the structures that affected the students� agency, particularly related to teaching and learning. After describing relevant literature related the experiences of ELL students in the USA, the research design, findings, conclusions and implications are presented. Specific structures within classrooms, schools and the community impacted students� ability to access resources necessary to meet their academic and social needs and to learn effectively. Using a narrative inquiry framework, the findings revealed that resources included space, time, and a sense of caring created by teachers. The barriers included ineffective instructional practices, a lack of empathy toward the students and their experiences, and fewer opportunities to access the curriculum
期刊介绍:
PORTA LINGUARUM is an international and interuniversity journal that specialises in foreign language didactics. Its aims to publish empirical studies, critical revisions, and theoretical models that relate to the many factors that influence the FL teaching and learning:
- The social and school context: the family’s social and cultural influence as well as the student’s mother language and its influence on the L2 learning process, etc.
- The students: their personal characteristics (age, gender, personality traits, etc.) as well as their attitudes, motivation, cognitive styles, etc.
- The FL teacher: the teacher’s mental representations, attitudes, motivation, individual characteristics, teaching methods, etc.
- Learning conditions and the learning process, variables that influence the teaching and learning processes in the classroom: efficiency of teaching strategies, teaching methods and techniques, second language acquisition processes, students and teachers interaction, effect of teaching resources and materials, etc.
- Learning outcomes: evaluation of procedures as well as the evaluation of the students’ communicative competence at different academic levels, etc.
