This paper looks into the intercultural development of a cohort of 26 American students in Spain. Spain constitutes the third preferred world destination of American sojourners. Starting from an analysis of students’ knowledge areas about the host culture, this study explores the relationship between intercultural knowledge and other dimensions of intercultural competence through students’ journals. Results indicate that sojourners increase their knowledge of 13 areas of the host culture, especially of issues related to food and drink, daily life, house, and institutions and services. Data also reveals that the acquisition of and reflection on culture-specific knowledge instigates intercultural development by honing awareness of intercultural verbal and non-verbal communication and the processes inherent in adjustment to life in the host country, learning from experience, and critical stances. The paper concludes that informed and critical reflection on sojourners’ experiences of otherness during study abroad, facilitated by an intercultural orientation program, favors positive attitudes towards the outgroup and enhances the intercultural attitudes of empathy, curiosity or willingness to adjust, along with the intercultural skills of communicative awareness, cultural awareness, awareness of the self and the other, action-taking, or suspending judgement.

espanolDisenar e implementar practicas inclusivas se considera como una de las lineas de actuacion basicas para la construccion de una educacion inclusiva; acciones que dependen en gran parte de las actitudes del profesorado, pudiendo estas verse modificadas por la formacion que reciben. En este marco, esta investigacion analizo las percepciones de 76 estudiantes de la especialidad de lengua extranjera - ingles acerca de la formacion inicial recibida sobre la atencion a la diversidad en el Master Universitario en Profesorado de Educacion Secundaria Obligatoria, Formacion Profesional y Ensenanza de Idiomas (MAES) en la Universidad de Granada (UGR) (Espana), durante el curso academico 2018/2019. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, correlacional de tipo transversal de las respuestas obtenidas a traves del “Cuestionario para futuros docentes de Educacion Secundaria acerca de las percepciones sobre atencion a la diversidad” (Colmenero Ruiz y Pegalajar Palomino, 2015). De los resultados obtenidos se deduce que, en general, el profesorado en formacion posee actitudes favorables hacia la diversidad y el principio de inclusion. Asimismo, se aprecia que los estudiantes de genero femenino poseen actitudes ligeramente mas positivas que los de genero masculino, existiendo tambien diferencias estadisticamente significativas en la consideracion de la diversidad entre aquellos que han tenido contacto con personas con discapacidad o trastornos.

CLIL and TBLT are approaches that have increasingly captured the attention of both teachers and researchers, and many of the latter have already discussed the ways in which they can be brought together. One of the challenges encountered in the implementation of CLIL has been the discrepancy between the level required to carry out the work for content learning and the students’ actual level. One of the solutions may lie in resorting to TBLT, where language is regarded as action and the learner seen as a social actor engaged in real-life-like activities. However, in CLIL, the task being proposed to the students has to be appropriate to their level and their ability to internalise conceptual knowledge. In order to bridge some of the methodological gaps between CLIL and TBLT, a framework for designing content-oriented tasks, based on the one advanced for the project PETALL, has been developed to help teachers plan their CLIL activities. After a theoretical introduction to the principles of Taskbased Learning and its integration with CLIL, a template designed to systematise the task is provided and discussed.

EnglishThe purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical and practical framework focused on students with intellectual disability who learn a foreign language with the purpose of suggesting directions to language teachers to achieve a quality and fair inclusive education. To this end, we have conducted an exhaustive analysis of current research and methodological proposals. Furthermore, we highlight the fact that language learning helps improve the students’ academic achievements while fostering sociocultural inclusion. The literature reviewed includes case studies and methodological proposals. The results reveal that the teaching materials used with these students are not suitable for their learning styles. However, research conducted in bilingual contexts produces quite remarkable results. Thus, some children with intellectual disability demonstrate extraordinary linguistic abilities. Likewise, the Canadian context provides stimulating data, due to the performance of a female teacher under the generative inclusion principles and the practice of a methodology based on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

This paper focuses on the development of curriculum design and methodological competences for pre-service and in-service EFL teachers in primary school, considered as essential aspects of the professionalism of teachers. In line with the national and international literature, it addresses some epistemological and methodological aspects of EFL curriculum design with particular reference to how this is dealt with in the Italian school system, even though most of the reflections and methodological proposals that are here presented could be considered useful for any school system. The paper proposes a competence design model, called CUD Mod, based on the “competence unit” framework, experimented in a variety of action-research projects conducted in Tuscan schools at primary and lower secondary level.

This paper is based on a training course which took place at the University of Granada (Spain) with the general purpose of introducing and discussing queer issues in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching. The specific aim was to empower primary and secondary school pre-service EFL teachers in order to take pedagogical action in favour of LGBTIQ+ persons’ equity. In this action research study, emphasis was put on practical activities, including the production of original queer teaching materials, and class interactions based on queer theory and transformative pedagogy. Qualitative data, emerged from the participants’ written and oral course evaluations as well as class observations, were examined through thematic analysis, which served to improve further editions of the course. The main results of this study suggest that this type of training should begin in early childhood education, that it is necessary to train EFL (as well as any other discipline) pre-service teachers in these issues and that progressive Spanish legislation for LGBTIQ+ people might not be sufficient in itself unless it is adequately implemented in education.

espanolAragon es una de las comunidades autonomas plurilingues de Espana. A diferencia de otras comunidades del Estado, en este territorio la proteccion de las lenguas minoritarias cuenta con una escasa trayectoria, la cual se ha intensificado desde 2015, con la creacion de la primera Direccion General de Politica Linguistica. Asimismo, en 2018 se cumplen dos decadas de la entrada de la lengua aragonesa en algunas escuelas de la provincia de Huesca. Sin embargo, apenas existen datos sobre la situacion y perspectivas de esta lengua minorizada en el ambito educativo. La investigacion que presentamos indaga en los factores que determinan las actitudes hacia el aragones de las familias del alumnado altoaragones de educacion primaria, asi como en el valor que otorgan a la lengua minorizada en el ambito educativo. Los resultados muestran la presencia de una actitud mayoritaria neutral con tendencia positiva, asi como el influjo significativo de variables como la procedencia y el contacto con esta u otras lenguas minoritarias. EnglishAragon is one of the plurilingual regions of Spain. Unlike other regions of the State, in Aragon, the protection of the minority languages has a short trajectory. This protection has been intensified since 2015, when the first regional institution in charge of language planning was created. Furthermore, 2018 marks the 20th aniversary of the introduction of Aragonese language in some schools of Huesca province. Nevertheless, there is still few scientific data about the situation and prospects of this minoritized language in the educational area. Our research is focused on the main factors that determine the attitudes towards Aragonese among the families of primary education children. The results show a neutral attitude with a positive trend towards Aragonese. Moreover, the significant influence of some factors like the provenance and the previous contact with Aragonese or other minority languages has been noted

Asimismo, en 2018 se cumplen dos decadas de la entrada de la lengua aragonesa en algunas escuelas de la provincia de Huesca. Sin embargo, apenas existen datos sobre la situacion y perspectivas de esta lengua minorizada en el ambito educativo. La investigacion que presentamos indaga en los factores que determinan las actitudes hacia el aragones de las familias del alumnado altoaragones de educacion primaria, asi como en el valor que otorgan a la lengua minorizada en el ambito educativo. Los resultados muestran la presencia de una actitud mayoritaria neutral con tendencia positiva, asi como el influjo significativo de variables como la procedencia y el contacto con esta u otras lenguas minoritarias. EnglishAragon is one of the plurilingual regions of Spain. Unlike other regions of the State, in Aragon, the protection of the minority languages has a short trajectory. This protection has been intensified since 2015, when the first regional institution in charge of language planning was created. Furthermore, 2018 marks the 20th aniversary of the introduction of Aragonese language in some schools of Huesca province. Nevertheless, there is still few scientific data about the situation and prospects of this minoritized language in the educational area. Our research is focused on the main factors that determine the attitudes towards Aragonese among the families of primary education children. The results show a neutral attitude with a positive trend towards Aragonese. Moreover, the significant influence of some factors like the provenance and the previous contact with Aragonese or other minority languages has been noted","PeriodicalId":44966,"journal":{"name":"Onomazein","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48998351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
