Perfis de pesquisa de esl na Colômbia... Uma necessidade crescente?

Purpose: To increase awareness of the special importance of profiling research. Topics: indexed journals, types of reviews and research profiles. Development: Selecting a research topic could be a hard task for young researchers or experienced researchers exploring different subjects. As ESL research works have been gradually growing during the last decades, trying to have a general view of all research done on its diverse related topics is a utopian aim. Considerable efforts like handbooks, literature reviews and states of the art have been made in order to make visible and organize different types of literature texts and scientific publications by adopting any selection criteria. However, such works, although very valuable, serve very specific purposes so that they cannot give a general picture of the different published research studies on an academic arena. Research profiles can meet such a need, of course, through inclusion criteria such as time frames or geographical contexts. Also, they help research works to be known and categorized according to any parameters so that research lines can be traced and regional or national bodies or research can be acknowledged. Besides, they are the starting point of more systematic reviews and complex tasks. Conclusions: Research profiles serve different purposes such as helping researchers select research topics, track and acknowledge research works, and create research lines and set research agendas in a country.Propósito: aumentar la conciencia sobre la importancia especial de la investigación de evaluación por perfiles.Temas : revistas indexadas, tipos de revisiones y perfiles de investigación.   Desarrollo: seleccionar un tema de investigación puede ser una tarea difícil para los investigadores jóvenes o investigadores experimentados que exploran diferentes temas. Debido a que los trabajos de investigación esl han incrementado gradualmente durante las últimas décadas, tratar de tener una visión general de toda la investigación realizada sobre los diversos temas relacionados es un objetivo utópico. Se han realizado esfuerzos considerables tales como manuales, revisiones de literatura y estados del arte para hacer visibles y organizar diferentes tipos de textos literarios y publicaciones científicas, adoptando cualquier criterio de selección. No obstante dichos trabajos, aun cuando muy valiosos, sirven a propósitos muy específicos y por ende, no pueden dar un panorama general de los diferentes estudios de investigación publicados en un ámbito académico. Los perfiles de investigación pueden satisfacer dicha necesidad, por supuesto, a través de criterios de inclusión tales como marcos temporales o contextos geográficos. Asimismo, ayudan a hacer visibles y a clasificar los trabajos de investigación de acuerdo con cualquier parámetro, de tal manera que se puedan rastrear las líneas de investigación y se puedan reconocer los cuerpos de investigación regionales o nacionales. Además, los perfiles de investigación son el punto de partida de revisiones más sistemáticas y tareas complejas.   Conclusiones: los perfiles de investigación sirven para propósitos diferentes, como ayudar a los investigadores a seleccionar temas de investigación, rastrear y reconocer trabajos de investigación, crear líneas de investigación y establecer agendas de investigación en un país.Propósito: Aumentar a conscientização da especial importância de um perfil de pesquisa Tó p i c o s : Publicações indexadas, tipos de resenhas e perfis de pesquisa. Desenvolvimento: Selecionar um tópico de pesquisa pode ser uma tarefa difícil para jovens pesquisadores ou investigadores experientes que exploram diferentes assuntos. Como os trabalhos de pesquisa em esl   têm  crescido  gradualmente  durante  as  últimas  décadas,  tentar  ter  uma  visão  geral de toda a pesquisa realizada sobre seus diversos tópicos relacionados é um objetivo utópico. Esforços  consideráveis,  como  manuais,  resenhas  de  literatura  e  avanços  foram  feitos  para  dar visibilidade e organizar diferentes tipos de textos literários e publicações científicas ao adotar qualquer critério de seleção. No entanto, tais trabalhos, embora sejam muito valiosos, servem a propósitos muito específicos de forma que não podem dar uma ideia geral dos diferentes estudos de pesquisas realizados em uma área acadêmica. Perfis de pesquisa podem sa nar uma necessidade, obviamente, através da inclusão de critérios como períodos de tempo ou contextos geográficos. Ainda, eles ajudam trabalhos de pesquisas a serem reconhecidos e categorizados de acordo com quaisquer parâmetros para que as linhas de pesquisas possam ser  traçadas  e  as  instituições  regionais  ou  nacionais  ou  as  pesquisas  possam  ter  reconhecimento. Além disso, elas são o ponto de partida para resenhas mais sistemáticas e tarefas complexas. Conclusões: Perfis de pesquisa servem a diferentes propósitos tais como ajudar pesquisadores  a  selecionar  tópicos  de  pesquisa,  rastrear  e  conhecer  trabalhos  de  pesquisa, criar linhas de pesquisa e estabelecer planos de pesquisa em um país

Perfiles de la investigación académica en estudios del discurso y aprendizaje de segundas lenguas

There is little profiling academic research on discourse studies in relation to second language learning from a regional perspective. This study aims at unveiling what, when, where and who constitute scholarly work in research about these two interrelated fields. A dataset was configured from registers taken from Dialnet and studied using specialized text-mining software. Findings revealed myriad research interests, few prolific years and the lack of networking. It is recommended to trace out our research as an ELT community locally and globally.Desde una perspectiva regional, poco se ha investigado el perfil académico de estudios que relacionan el análisis del discurso con el aprendizaje de segundas lenguas. Este estudio de perfil describe el qué, el cuándo, el dónde y el quién constituye trabajo académicoinvestigativo en estos dos campos interrelacionados. Se construyó una base de datos a partir de registros tomados de Dialnet que fueron estudiados utilizando software especializado para minería de textos. Los hallazgos revelan variedad en los intereses investigativos, poca producción bibliográfica en ciertos años y ausencia de trabajo en red. Se recomienda perfilar nuestra investigación como comunidad ELT a nivel local y global

Teaching english through multisensory activities in a public school

El presente proyecto fue llevado a cabo en una institución pública mixta en el municipio de Dosquebradas, Colombia con el fin de aplicar, verificar y advocar la utilidad de la instrucción multisensorial en una o varias sesiones de una clase de lengua inglesa de grado séptimo, a través del uso estructurado de actividades específicamente ordenadas para ser sensorialmente estimulantes promoviendo los enlaces entre la memoria sensorial que activa la interconectividad dentro de varios canales receptores

Language ideologies and racialization of language: multilingual learners\u27 experiences in the first year in a community college.

Community colleges have become key sites for preparing diverse and immigrant students for the transition to the workforce and four-year institutions. Yet, despite the recent growths of Multilingual Learners in community colleges, few studies focus on how students experience the first year in college after completing their ESL programs and their relations with instructors and how instructors perceive and interact with students institutionally classified as English as a Second Language (ESL) students. I use theories of language ideologies and racialization of language to understand multilingual learners’ experiences in the first year of college and how interaction with instructors shaped those experiences. I use a qualitative critical approach to analyze data from interviews, fieldnotes, and observations from a year-long study in a community college located in a mid-sized city in the South. This dissertation is divided into six chapters. Chapter one gives an overview of the background of the study and the process of realization of this project throughout a story I tell about my understandings of language and experiences with language learning during my career as an English language teacher and now researcher. Chapter two explores the theories of language ideologies, racialization of language and language identity and how they are connected to understand how Multilingual Learners (MLs) in a community college experience education and access to resources. I explore how language ideologies are used to maintain social power, more specifically, the idea of academic language and language proficiency as a gatekeeper for academic achievement in educational institutions for multilingual learners. In chapter three I describe a critical approach to ideology to examine Multilingual Learners’ experiences in college through interviews, observations and fieldnotes. I focus on beliefs about language and language identity that influence multilingual students’ experiences in higher education. In chapter four, I analyze students’ perceptions of their academic English skills connected to their own ideas of accent, use of grammar and an idealized English proficiency instilled by the interactions with White Americans, including college instructors. Those ideologies formed language identities in which students see themselves as deficient in comparison to the White native speaker of English. In chapter five, I show evidence of instructors’ views of students regarding their cultural, linguistic, and educational and class background. Some of those views revealed ideologies of language standardization that racialized multilingual students through lenses of language standardization and assimilation to American culture that I discussed in chapter six

Short-Term International Experiences in Language Teacher Education: A Qualitative Meta-Synthesis

Short-term international experiential learning opportunities can foster language teachers\u27 multidimensional development. Even though such experiences are considered beneficial for language teachers’ development, educational reviews have scarcely concentrated on a comprehensive synthesis of the impact of such experiences on language teachers. This meta-synthesis of qualitative research analyzed the role of international experiential learning in the multidimensional development of pre- and in-service language teachers. Besides presenting a number of research patterns in the literature, this synthesis of 25 qualitative studies reported main outcomes of short-term international experiences for language teachers. These outcomes were synthesized under three main headings: (1) professional, (2) linguistic, and (3) intercultural. Based on this analysis, further research and practice directions regarding international language teacher education emerged. These emerging research agendas concentrated on the critical role of peer circles, host communities, program types and structures, preparation and post-program components, and guidance and supervision
