This paper examines the role of motivation, anxiety, and self-efficacy beliefs and their interplay with regard to speaking on beginners’ Spanish LMOOCs. It answers three research questions: (1) what are learners’ motivations and goals for joining these LMOOCs and how do these relate to foreign language speaking anxiety; (2) how do learners’ self-ef...
This article presents the results of an empirical investigation into the teaching practices and opinions of UK-based Spanish teachers concerning the treatment of language varieties in the L2/FL classroom. Qualitative and quantitative data obtained through an online survey provide the basis for an analysis of participants’ knowledge of dialectal var...
This study examines the effect of explicit phonological instruction on the acquisition of variable /s/ voicing in Spanish by advanced Hungarian learners. Hungarian and Spanish have very similar, yet not identical, voicing assimilation (VA) systems; the most important difference lies in the pre-sonorant context as sonorant consonants trigger voicing...
The present study investigates the influence of prosodic structure on pre-sonorant voicing in Slovak. Our results demonstrate that prosodic boundaries as well as accent interact in a meaningful way with voicing assimilation. If a major boundary intervenes, the role of accent is eliminated, while in other contexts the presence of contrastive focus i...
In the present article we mil display the results of a pilot study on the acquisition of the Spanish laryngeal system by advanced U2 learners. The study contributes to our knowledge about phonological transfer between T1 and L2, in this particular case the acquisition of the voicing properties of Spanish and voicing assimilation in Spanish by nativ...
In this study we argue that the stress system of nominals in Spanish can be captured more accurately in an anological framework than in more traditional rule-based approaches. We back up our claim with a nonce word experiment carried out with 40 native speakers of Spanish.
