This article attempts to analyse to what extent a distance collaboration project between two groups of university students sharing the same lingua franca (English), but with different course educational objectives can benefit its participants. We build on the knowledge gleaned from previous studies of second language telecollaboration which point t...
Knowledge about CLIL teaching approaches and the effective integration of ICT into learning processes seem paramount to the success of CLIL in different contexts. Nevertheless, research has shown that pre-service and in-service teachers feel unprepared for effective CLIL programme implementation. Recent research has pointed out that material design...
This study explores the effect of collaborative writing (CW) and peer feedback (PF) practices on subsequent individual writing assignments. Two groups of university students in a Spanish as a foreign language course experienced both CW and PF (Group 1 CW then PF; Group 2 PF then CW), and pre and posttests were analyzed for syntactic complexity, lex...
Multimodality and new learning environments in second and foreign language teaching
Teaching English in higher education entails additional factors and considerations that exemplify the
complexity of accounting for the diverse population in modern higher education institutions. In particular, the increasing flow of international students and the employment demands of functioning in
multicultural contexts render helping students to...
Multicultural education has actively endeavored to undermine inequalities and imbalances by offering pedagogical frameworks for accounting for and managing cultural diversity. However, foundational literature on multicultural education seems to be dominated by Western scholars, mainly American. This assumption is not in alignment with the objective...
Abstract: Previous studies have concluded that ICT are underused in primary and early childhood classrooms partly due to lack of appropriate training. This study explores ICT use and the validity of a training proposal as reported on a survey by two groups of students after their teaching practicum. Results showed traditional technological tools we...
To date, several studies have investigated the potential benefits of using Quizlet and podcasts for vocabulary development. However, they have mainly focused on the use of available material, and its effects on receptive vocabulary acquisition and students’ motivation. In contrast, relatively little has been done to study the effects of student-gen...
One of the main aims of diverse education systems is the development of key competences to improve citizens’ capacity for lifelong learning. However, some authors have signalled the challenge their measurement entails, among them the Learning to Learn (LtL) competence, which has also been shown to be complex to define and is under research. With a...
Abstract
This paper examines the most frequent certainty adverbs in the extended LOCNEC (Aguado et al. 2012) and their frequency and use in three datasets of the LINDSEI (Chinese, German and Spanish LINDSEI components). Our analysis of certainty adverbs yields a complex picture. Obviously was fundamentally used by English speakers while really was...
This study examines the suitability of telecollaboration practices to enhance ICT integration in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)-based units by analysing the number and type of episodes related to students’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) produced in a telecollaboration whose aim was the design of a technology-en...
Recientemente se ha popularizado un nuevo modelo de enseñanza denominado «flipped classroom» o clase invertida. Este nuevo modelo se basa en invertir la secuenciación de la clase desplazando la lección magistral fuera del aula por medio del visionado de videos en los que se explican los contenidos antes de acudir a clase. De esta manera el tiempo d...
This paper examines oral/aural competence in the most commonly used coursebooks
in the second year of Baccalaureate in Spain. Using a checklist created and validated
in a former pilot analysis (Bueno-Alastuey and Luque Agulló, 2015a), five textbooks
were analysed. Results showed that the proportion of tasks1 devoted to oral/aural and written
skills...
This paper reports on a pilot study on the use of telecollaboration to develop TPACK through the joint analysis of CLIL units created by groups of teacher trainees. The instruments to collect the data were a questionnaire, chat transcripts and a voice recording. Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed to explore type of TPACK episodes takin...
This article studies which and how Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are used by nursery and primary education in-service teachers as reported by their pre-service teacher trainees after observations in their practicum in two provinces in Spain, Alcalá de Henares-Guadalajara and Navarre. Results indicate that in-service teachers te...

As recent research has shown that teaching second language (L2) learning strategies explicitly contributes to an increase in strategy use and in oral proficiency, this study explores the type of oral skill strategic instruction employed in some of the most common textbooks used in the last year of Higher Secondary Education in Spain. The study cons...

Telecollaboration offers opportunities for extending the context of teacher training beyond a classroom in a single institution. Through its affordance of enabling sharing expertise and experience, telecollaboration can become a useful tool in teacher education potentially contributing to the sustainability of ICT use in education. One way to tap i...
This article evaluates the way 46 students of a university ‘Spanish as a second language’ blended course used the virtual resources available for learning language and culture, and the students’ ratings of the contribution of those technological resources and tools to their learning. Results showed students perceived vocabulary, cultural contents,...
Even though the
Common European framework of reference for languages
has placed great emphasis on the teaching and learning of oral aspects and there is general agreement about the need to analyze oral competence development through checklists, the inventories developed so far to analyze textbooks are too general, not explicit enough or devote too...
Research has shown that teaching second language (L2) learning strategies explicitly promotes an increase in strategy use and in oral proficiency. Consequently, a checklist based on the six types of strategies from Oxford's taxonomy (1990) was created to analyze strategic instruction in the most common textbooks used in the last year of Higher Seco...
El objetivo de este estudio fue estudiar la influencia de tres factores –contexto socio-económico, el esfuerzo individual y la motivación– en el nivel de competencia en inglés, y la posible relación entre esfuerzo personal y contexto familiar, y entre motivación y contexto familiar. El instrumento utilizado fue un cuestionario completado por 159 es...
This study investigated students’ perceptions of the usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in all the skills and areas of language in an English as a Foreign Language blended course, which integrated ICT fully, and compared these perceptions to those of pupils of a Spanish as a Second Language blended course with a lower le...
One of the most significant aspects of the Spanish new educational reform is the Baccalaureate General Test which is intended to replace the former University Entrance Examination. The new test will include an oral part, which needs to be created, based on current research on the field (Bueno-Alastuey & Luque, 2010), and tested with students from d...

Research on interaction has focused on the importance of interactional feedback for second language acquisition. Nevertheless, there is scarce research regarding interactional feedback and the effect different kinds of dyad may produce in it in Synchronous Voice-based Computer Mediated Communication. Our study tries to fill this gap by studying whe...
L’histoire a été écrite par les classes dominantes, vantant les mérites des colons et les démérites des colonisés. Ces deux points ont contribué à l’effacement des minorités, et plus particulièrement des femmes issues des minorités. Leurs premières apparitions dans les récits littéraires sont dues à des récits de type ethnographique puis à la naiss...

Communicative competence is the ultimate goal of most learners of a second language, and interaction beneficial to acquire it as interactional feedback may force learners to produce modified output, which contributes notably to language acquisition. Neither interactional feedback nor modified output in synchronous voice-based CMC have been research...
En este trabajo se pretende examinar la noción y el nivel de competencia lingüística en la primera lengua extranjera, establecidos por el Ministerio de Educación para Bachillerato, y su actual evaluación en la Prueba de Acceso a la Universidad (PAU). Además se presenta una propuesta para la incorporación de la evaluación de la competencia oral a di...
This paper aims at reviewing the notion of linguistic competence, the foreign language proficiency level the Spanish Ministry of Education has established fur the Bachillerato level and the current method of evaluating linguistic competence in the Spanish University Admission Exam. A proposal is presented calling for the evaluation of oral competen...
This study explored the benefits and drawbacks of synchronous voice-based computer-mediated communication (CMC) in a blended course of English for specific purposes. Quantitative and qualitative data from two groups following the same syllabus, except for the oral component, were compared. Oral tasks were carried out face-to-face with same L1 partn...
La acreditación de niveles de competencia en lenguas extranjeras es un proceso muy heterogéneo sobre el que se ha recomendado reflexionar en el ámbito universitario para definir tanto dichos niveles como la manera de alcanzarlos. Este estudio forma parte de esa reflexión analizando el nivel de ingreso del alumnado de cinco nuevas titulaciones en la...
Communicative competence is the ultimate goal of most learners of a second language and intelligible pronunciation a fundamental part of it. Unfortunately, learners often lack the opportunity to explore how intelligible their speech is for different audiences. Our research investigates whether synchronous-voice computer-mediated communication could...
The adaptation to the European Space of Higher Education and to the new demands of the labor market has produced a shift in university education, which has changed from being teacher-centered to being learner-centered. Following this trend, at the Public University of Navarre, a blended course of English for Agriculture was created using the virtua...

This project analyses the impact of different amounts of CLIL exposure on foreign language proficiency with young learners (primary education).
The project, Teachers of English for Future Europe (TEFE) brings together six key institutions from across the EU committed to the internationalisation of English Teachers to share their exemplary practices and to facilitate joint experiences for new teachers and existing teaching practitioners in their institutions. Ultimately the learning and best practice will be published and made available to all teacher training institutions across the EU to stimulate and encourage the internationalisation of their teaching practice.
All of this has been made possible thanks to the vision, support and funding of the EU through its Erasmus Strategic Partnership Programme which has provided 285,000 EUR over three years to enable the project to take place.
The six partners are:
University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic
Aston University, United Kingdom
University of Passau, Germany
Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland
Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia
Public University of Navarra, Spain
This projects aims at analysing students' and teachers' beliefs in three different settings: USA, Spain and Poland
