Melodies, Rhythm and Cognition in Foreign Language Learning
Melodies, Rhythm and Cognition in Foreign Language Learning is a collection of essays reflecting on the relationship between language and music, two unique, innate human capacities. This book provides a clear explanation of the centrality of melodies and rhythm to foreign language learning acquisition. The interplay between language music brings to applied linguists inquiries into the nature and function of speech melodies, the role of prosody and the descriptions of rhythmical patterns in verbal behaviour. Musical students seem to be better equipped for language learning, although melodies and rhythm can benefit all types of students at any age. In fact, in this book melodies and rhythm are considered to be a springboard for the enhancement of the learning of foreign languages.
25 AÑOS DE ESTUDIOS INGLESES EN LA UNIVERSIDAD DE HUELVA
Este volumen bilingüe (español/inglés) conmemora el vigésimo quinto aniversario de la titulación de Filología Inglesa (actualmente denominada Estudios Ingleses) en la Universidad de Huelva desde la primera promoción egresada (1994) a 2019 a través de los testimonios de profesionales y estudiantes implicados en la misma. El libro ofrece un recorrido por vivencias y experiencias relativas a la puesta en marcha y progresiva consolidación de un campo de estudio, los Estudios Ingleses, que constituye uno de los motores profesionales de la provincia, ya de por sí bien conocida por el legado histórico y cultural que la presencia británica dejó en ella.
Positive Psychology in SLA
Positive psychology is the scientific study of how human beings prosper and thrive. This is the first book in SLA dedicated to theories in positive psychology and their implications for language teaching, learning and communication. Chapters examine the characteristics of individuals, contexts and relationships that facilitate learning: positive emotional states such as love, enjoyment and flow, and character traits such as empathy, hardiness and perseverance. The contributors present several innovative teaching ideas to bring out these characteristics among learners. The collection thus blends new teaching techniques with cutting-edge theory and empirical research undertaken using qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods approaches. It will be of interest to SLA researchers, graduate students, trainee and experienced teachers who wish to learn more about language learning psychology, individual differences, learner characteristics and new classroom practices.
Self-Esteem and Foreign Language Learning
Self-Esteem and Foreign Language Learning deals with a topic which has been given surprisingly little attention in Second and Foreign Language Acquisition studies. Although there are several studies dealing with general education, this volume addresses the need to take self-esteem into consideration in the language classroom and adopts both theoretical/research and practical perspectives, with the hope of being useful for both researchers and practitioners. The book is organized into three main parts. Part I serves as an introduction to self-esteem. Part II reports on the existing literature about the theory and research dealing with self-esteem and foreign language learning, and Part III in...

Language Learning Beyond the Classroom
This volume presents case studies of language learning beyond the classroom. The studies draw on a wide range of contexts, from North and South America to Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Each provides principled links between theory, research and practice. While out-of-class learning will not replace the classroom, ultimately all successful learners take control of their own learning. This book shows how teachers can help learners bridge the gap between formal instruction and autonomous language learning. Although English is the primary focus of most chapters, there are studies on a range of other languages including Spanish and Japanese.
EDUCAR EMOCIONANDO
El sistema educativo necesita un cambio de paradigma pues sigue anclado en un modelo tradicional de enseñanza. En base a evidencias científicas desde la Psicología, a neurociencia o las ciencias de la educación, se muestra la importancia de las emociones en el proceso de aprendizaje y enseñanza. Se hace un recorrido por las teorías sobre educación emocional y se ofrecen propuestas de formación para el profesorado así como estrategias para utilizar en el aula.
Corpus-based Approaches to Register Variation
As the first collective volume to focus exclusively on corpus-based approaches to register variation, this book provides an exhaustive account of the range and depth of possibilities that the domain of register variation in English has to offer. It illustrates register variation analysis in different theoretical frameworks, such as Probabilistic Grammar, Systemic Functional Linguistics, and Information Theory, and proposes a new framework within the Text Linguistic Approach: the continuous-situational analytical framework. Several of the contributions apply Multi-Dimensional Analysis to corpus data in order to unveil register (dis)similarities, while others rely on logistic regression models...

Affect in Language Learning
The affective domain and the emotional factors which influence language learning have been of interest in the field of language teaching for a number of years. By proposing a holistic approach to the learning process, this volume takes the position that the language learning experience will be much more effective when both affect and cognition are considered. The eighteen chapters discuss issues such as memory, anxiety, self-esteem, facilitation, autonomy, classroom activities, and assessment from the perspective of affect. Affect in Language Learning will be of interest to teachers-in-preparation, teachers, teacher educators, curriculum designers, programme administrators and researchers and to those second language teaching professionals who wish to improve language teaching through a greater awareness of the role affect plays.
