Download or read book Evaluaci n de la competencia ling stico comunicativa de la lengua oral de profesores de ELE en formaci n written by Rosilei Justiniano Carayannis and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este estudio se enmarca en el ámbito de la evaluación como un recurso para la mejora de la competencia de la lengua española oral de profesores brasileños de 'español como lengua extranjera' (ELE) en formación. La investigación se centra en elaborar un dispositivo de evaluación para los profesores de ELE en formación que tenga la función de promover una actitud de mayor reflexión, consciencia y capacidad de autoevaluación sobre un nivel de dominio de la lengua española oral adecuado para impartir las clases de ELE, que en este estudio se denomina requisitos mínimos. El nivel de los requisitos mínimos se ha identificado entre el B2 y el Cl respecto a los niveles de referencia del Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCER) y se caracteriza por ser un nivel que permite al profesor en formación identificar y corregir los errores que puede cometer en su discurso oral. El dispositivo de evaluación requiere que el profesor formador ayude al profesor en prácticas a autoevaluarse y aprender a regular sus errores. Por su parte, el profesor en formación debe grabarse en vídeo y/o audio para observarse y autoevaluarse con el auxilio de una parrilla de evaluación que refleja los descriptores de los requisitos mínimos. El análisis de la experimentación permitió identificar las características de la lengua oral del profesorado en formación, tanto a nivel individual como del grupo. A nivel individual la parrilla ayudó a verificar los aspectos de los requisitos mínimos que cumplía y los que no cumplía. En lo que se refiere al grupo se identificaron sus principales problemas en el uso de la lengua, que apuntan a posibles debilidades en el currículo de la licenciatura de Letras-Español. Respecto a la capacidad para autoevaluarse, el análisis de los resultados de la parrilla de evaluación señaló que hubo un aumento de consciencia de todos los profesores en formación sobre sus habilidades y sobre sus dificultades. Los profesores en formación percibieron que podían reconocer algunos errores lingüístico-comunicativos al observarse y contestar la parrilla de evaluación, pero también percibieron que les faltaba más conocimiento de la lengua para conseguir autoevaluarse solos. La presente investigación concluye que para que el dispositivo de evaluación sea realmente eficaz para ayudar al profesor en formación a ser capaz de corregirse y ser autónomo para mejorar el nivel de su dominio de la lengua española, haría falta formación específica en el uso del dispositivo de evaluación y planificar un estudio amplio a largo plazo para poder investigar el impacto real del mismo.
Download or read book La ense anza de lenguas extranjeras y la evaluaci n written by Gretel Eres Fernández and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuando pensamos en la evaluación escolar, es decir, en la evaluación del aprendizaje, el interés estriba en medir, de alguna forma, si se poseen los conocimientos esperados según los objetivos propuestos por el profesor, por la institución, por el curso o por el nivel a que se refiera. A priori, evaluar y ser evaluado no tendría que ser algo negativo, ya que forma parte del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Sin embargo, muchas veces es sinónimo de penalización y acarrea sufrimientos, tensiones y angustias a todos los involucrados, en especial, a los estudiantes. Pero, si como profesores entendemos para qué y cómo evaluamos, qué implicaciones tienen ciertos instrumentos de evaluación y qué información aportan, podremos determinar el mejor modo para evaluar y el procedimiento más idóneo, ya que existen diferentes tipos de evaluación a nuestra disposición. Y si el alumno tiene claro cómo ha sido su desempeño, en qué aspectos debe mejorar o en qué aspectos ha tenido éxito, puede asumir una actitud más comprometida con su propio aprendizaje. Teniendo en cuenta la necesidad de que discutamos y pensemos sobre el papel de la evaluación, en este libro tratamos de aclarar el concepto y el significado que puede adquirir el término “evaluar” y nos centrarnos en la evaluación en lengua extranjera. Esperamos que, a lo largo de nuestras consideraciones sobre el tema logremos aportar algunas ideas que contribuyan para profundizar la reflexión de los profesores de idiomas sobre la importancia de la evaluación, en concreto, de sus fines e implicaciones para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.

Download or read book Translation and Web Localization written by Miguel A. Jimenez-Crespo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Web localization is a cognitive, textual, communicative and technological process by which interactive web texts are modified to be used by audiences in different sociolinguistic contexts. Translation and Web Localization provides an in-depth and comprehensive overview into this emerging field of study. The book covers the key areas and main theoretical and practical approaches of the subject, rather than a step by step practical guide. Topics covered include the often controversial definition of localization, how the process develops, what constitutes a text in this process, digital genre theory and its implications, and how to conduct research or training in this field. The book concludes with a look into the dynamic nature of web localization and the forces, such as crowdsourcing, that are reshaping web localization and translation as we know it. In light of the deep changes brought by the Internet, Translation and Web Localization is an indispensable book for researchers, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students of translation studies, as well as practitioners and researchers in related fields such as computational linguistics, applied linguistics, Internet linguistics, digital genre theory and web development.
