VP P1 El uso de ‘préstamos’ como fenómeno lingüístico intercultural en el cuento “Más estrellas que en el cielo” de Alberto Fuguet

En la actualidad, alrededor de 40 millones de inmigrantes hispanohablantes conforman la primera gran minoría étnica y lingüística en los Estados Unidos. El español no es sólo lengua de intercambio conversacional, también existen voces que se plasman literariamente en lo que se ha dado en llamar 'latino literature'. Una de las personalidades literarias más representativas en los Estados Unidos en estos momentos es Alberto Fuguet, escritor de origen chileno, editor, junto con el boliviano Edmundo Paz Soldán, de la antología Se Habla Español: Voces Latinas en USA (Alfaguara, Miami, 2000). En ella, se reúnen cuentos de 36 jóvenes escritores latinos residentes en los Estados Unidos que expresan su experiencia de mirar el Norte pero con los ojos del Sur. Esta propuesta literaria resulta cultural y lingüísticamente integradora: deja al descubierto nuevas identidades y nuevos discursos que se materializan en una variedad lingüística, el Spanglish. Esta variedad tiene la impronta de la tensión del contacto que se realiza mediante la alternancia entre lenguas; esto es, a través del uso de préstamos – del inglés al español – y de cambios de código – del español al inglés –.
En este trabajo, analizamos instancias del uso de préstamos en el cuento “Más estrellas que en el cielo” de Alberto Fuguet (antologado en Se habla Español. Voces latinas en USA) a la luz de los aportes teóricos de sociolingüistas como Gumperz (1982), Poplack (1982) Myers-Scotton (1993), Appel y Muysken (1996); Hipperdinger (2001). Buscamos ilustrar lo que hay “de ellos en nosotros y de nosotros en ellos” a través de este tipo de transferencias léxicas. En otros términos, “una vez abierto el abismo de la diferencia cultural, puede hallarse un mediador y metáfora de la otredad que contenga los efectos de la diferencia” (Bhabha, 2002: 51).

VP P2 New identities in the EFL classroom: teaching digital natives

21st century students think and process information in fundamentally different ways than those who have been raised and taught during the pre-digital era. Does this new breed of students need a nuanced teaching to learn something successfully? How can we teach them EFL catering to their learning styles? This paper will seek to answer these questions as it delves into the world of digital natives.

VP P3 El lugar de la cultura en la enseñanza de lenguas segundas o extranjeras. Diferencias culturales visibles en las variedades lingüísticas.

Este trabajo se propone abordar desde el cine, discutir y analizar el papel de lo sociocultural en las líneas curriculares de enseñanza de ELE. Desde el Marco Europeo de referencia para la enseñanza de las lenguas hasta los materiales de enseñanza, los contenidos que apuntan al desarrollo de una competencia “intercultural” se declinan en una diversidad de propuestas, que van desde el listado de temas “culturales”, hasta los clichés. Dicha competencia supone un acercamiento tanto a los referentes de la cultura legitimada –lo que algunos autores denominan “cultura con mayúsculas” (Miquel y Sáinz, 2004)- como a los parámetros culturales de la vida diaria (o cultura con minúscula). El abordaje de estos contenidos supone un desafío integrador que apunte al desarrollo de un hablante de la lengua segunda como “intermediario cultural” (Byram, Zárate & Neuner, 1997). En este trabajo, presentamos una propuesta didáctica que intenta aunar y sistematizar estas reflexiones. Esta propuesta aborda los componentes socioculturales que entran en juego en los movimientos migratorios, la identidad y el sentido de pertenencia. Partimos de la base de una serie televisiva, “Vientos de Agua”, que aborda la inmigración desde dos puntos de vista : el exilio español hacia Argentina en 1934, por causas políticas y económicas, y el exilio argentino hacia España después de la crisis del 2001 por causas económicas. Este paralelismo nos permite analizar ambas corrientes migratorias y los presupuestos socioculturales que éstas movilizan; entre ellos las variedades de español presentes en la serie. Se trata de un drama histórico, del director Juan José Campanella y consta de 13 capítulos de una hora aproximadamente. Sobre esta base, analizaremos escenas correspondientes al capítulo 1, en las que nos enfocaremos en la observación y el análisis de los diferentes aspectos de la variedad de español: fonético-fonológico, gramatical , morfosintáctico, y otras particularidades ligadas a este aspecto.

VP DP 1 Intercultural Communication Workshop in English

A virtual poster designed using Glogster.edu will show the objectives and partial outcomes of an extension course led at UNLPam called “intercultural Communication Workshop in English” (Res.227/13 CD Human Sciences Faculty). It was started in 2013 and will continue during two years. Teachers from the Foreign Languages Department, university students and an English Teacher Assistant with Fulbright travel to different towns in the province to share three-hour classes with students at High School level and their English teachers. The aims of the workshop are to develop intercultural awareness through activities that include interviews based on the Autobiography of Intercultural Encounters by Byram (2010).

One of the purposes of the English Teacher Education Programme at UNLPam is to enable students to reflect critically on the role of Intercultural Education. This is transversal to the 2009 syllabus and two subjects of this programme: Socio-Cultural Studies and Practice II, Didactics of ELT have developed an extension project to be carried out during 2013-2014 in different towns of the province where the presence of native speakers of English is not common, and thus the students have few opportunities of interaction using English.The English Language Assistants Programme from Fulbright Commission allows for the presence of a native speaker who teaches English in our context. This Programme encourages a certain number of people to live, learn and integrate into the culture of other countries. At the same time, the new curricular guidelines for English at Secondary School level all over the country consider the importance of intercultural education and reflection following the NAP (Priority Knowledge Areas, Res. CFE N°181/12).Thus, this project fulfills different aims: secondary school students interact with a native speaker and reflect critically upon stereotypes related to other cultures and share their views with the native speaker. University students view diverse teaching contexts and thus gain insights into their future careers, and they also share with secondary school students their views about different courses that students may follow at UNLPam. The three-hour meeting includes a class related to intercultural topics and the experiences shown in videos included in the glogster poster seem to indicate that the project is an enriching experience for all those who participate from it.

VP DP 4 Teachers’ beliefs about culture and the teaching of culture in the EFL classroom

For many decades now, foreign language teaching has been moving away from a more traditional approach with a focus on the development of linguistic competence, and has started to view language and the teaching of language as inextricably connected to culture. This new approach considers that learning a language cannot be separated from learning about the cultures of the people that speak that language. Byram (1997) argues that, if culture is an integral part of the language curriculum, students can learn to critically compare their own culture to the target culture and understand different world views. In Argentina, this intercultural view of English language teaching and learning is taken into consideration in the proposed curricula for national and state foreign language teaching, which give a central role to interculturalism. Given the importance that the intercultural communicative approach currently has in our context and considering the impact of teachers’ beliefs in their course design and teaching methodologies, a research study was conducted to find out what English-as-a-foreign-language teachers in Río Cuarto, Córdoba believe about culture teaching and how present the cultural dimension is in the courses they teach. To this end, we designed a beliefs questionnaire that was administered to primary and secondary school English language teachers in Río Cuarto. In the questionnaire, teachers shared their beliefs about culture, the teaching of culture, their preparation to teach culture, among other aspects. The data were analyzed using inferential statistics. In this poster we will summarize our research project, present some preliminary results of the study, and suggest teaching implications.

VP SP4 Identity and Belonging Intercultural experience with Barthi Public School (Delhi, India)

This project helped to question some aspects of our identity that seemed obvious and increased learners’ openness to diversity, a communication skill stimulated by the exchange with students from India. In their first English-speaking intercultural experience, this group with an elementary level of English was able to overcome language barriers, as well as cultural, and achieved an empowerment that will –we hope- increase confidence in their own learning. The collaborative learning approach has been most appropriate as teamwork is quite challenging for this group and the use of new IT tools has also been of great help in this sense.

VP SP5 Experiencia Intercultural en el aula de Inglés

This work is part of the Identity and Belonging Project, promoted by the British Council and Fundación Evolución. When implementing it, besides giving my sixth form primary students the opportunity to communicate with a school from a very distant part of the world and with a different culture, I tried to obtain all the benefits derived from Collaborative Learning. It was performed by using web tools and with my strong conviction that when learners understand the value of interculturalism they are ready to help us to build a better world where identity and diversity are both valued and fostered.

VP SP6 Climate Change: How Can We Help?

Last year the project proved to be a very rewarding and enriching experience in which both my students and I learnt a lot about working collaboratively, other cultures, the environment and how to take care of our planet. Each week, they worked on different tasks, creating wordmaps, leaflets and drawings. Students were keen to share their work and were amazed to see other students’ productions, such as a group of students from London singing “The 3 R’s Song” with their music teacher strumming on his guitar. We also prepared a video, a poster and a board with all the material produced.

VP SP 9 Fostering students’ motivation and enhancing their technological abilities through the use of the “1 to 1”model

The “1 to 1” model provides students, as digital natives, the possibility of being immersed in a technological context which is natural to them. It also gives students an “active role” in their learning process due to the fact that they can carry out multi-tasks related to their interests, have a direct unlimited ubiquitous use of the ICT. As a result, peer and group interaction and/or collaboration can be developed in and within the classroom. The acquisition of new technological applications and the use of multimedia will certainly foster students’ motivation in learning different topics, such as comparing cities, and will, in turn, broaden students’ “cultural horizons”.

Video Presentations


VP V 1 Making Learning Memorable for Catholic Schools

The purpose of this video is to show teachers, especially those working in Catholic schools, how they can make learning memorable and hopefully more enjoyable for their teenage students. Among other things, Catholic schools differ from other institutions by the fact that apart from educating young men and women to develop into good citizens for the betterment of society, just like many other schools, their mission statement is intimately connected with the transmission of the catholic faith.
Ever since they enter a religious school, learners are taught the prayers of the catholic faith in their mother tongue. When it comes to the teaching of the foreign language, other short prayers are taught instead. The reasons for this may be diverse, but one of them may be that they are probably regarded as hard-to-learn. The video tries to provide teachers with some suggestions and activities that aim at making the teaching of a prayer such as the one demonstrated here a fun, memorable activity.
The video was made with two large groups of 5th year students, 17 years of age. They have a two-hour class, once a week.Therefore, it is really important to make learning as relevant and memorable as possible, considering that they do not have the chance to practice as much as they would probably need to in order to remember what they learn during those 120 minutes.
The video shows how to introduce, practice and reinforce the learning of the “Hail Mary”. In it, I will make brief reference to some aspects of brain functioning and highlight those I have taken into account when designing the language learning activities you will see in the video. On the one hand, I stress the importance of movement in the learning process, as movement helps encode memories through the cerebellum. Teaching learners how to use their bodies to create memory pegs can help them remember the language more easily. On the other, I point out the need for visual support in order to create more powerful memories.

Session 2 “Sounds Fun”

Robin Walker (Oxford University Press)

Research has shown that young learners are very good at imitating the sounds, rhythm and intonation that characterize the pronunciation of English. We now also have a much clearer idea as to which features of English pronunciation are essential for successful oral communication. This talk first explores our priorities when working on pronunciation with young learners, and then looks at a variety of practical techniques to help us to teach pronunciation in a meaningful, motivating manner.

Robin Walker is a freelance language teacher, teacher educator, and materials writer. He has been involved in ELT since moving to Spain in 1981. In this time, he worked for over 20 years in ESP as a lecturer in English at the University School of Tourism of Asturias.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: The Landscape of English Language Teaching: Roots, Routes and Ramifications 

The last two decades have seen considerable changes in the landscape of English language teaching in our midst. This presentation will outline the background to these changes, the current trends worldwide and in our region, and how they influence the reality of teachers of English today. The influence of legislation, market forces, disiciplinary developments, and different types of actors has been felt in various ways and continue to shape the professional lives of teachers. Enhanced awareness of these influences is an essential component of professional development that will allow teachers to make informed decisions about their careers.


Dr. Fernanda Coelho Liberali has a PhD in Applied Linguistics from the Post-graduate Program of Applied Linguistics, of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC –SP/ BR), where she has worked as a professor and researcher since 2000.

She has published articles, chapters and books in Portuguese, English and German. 

WORKSHOP: Real life activities as the basis for teaching in multilingual contexts

This workshop offers the opportunity to discuss how different content areas can be articulated in order to connect learning to students’ every day activities. According to Leontiev (1977), an activity, supported by rules, division of labor and community, takes place within three focal points: the subjects, the object on which they act and the specific artifacts developed from the experiences of previous generations. Working with real life activities in the classroom promotes students’ insertion and transformation of reality. In other words, teaching-learning involves both the knowledge accumulated by previous generations in the form of scientific concepts and the understanding and perception of the role of everyday concepts and experiences in creating perejivanie - strong cognitive and emotional experience (Vigotski, 1933-34/2006, p. 383). In multilingual teaching contexts, working with activities involves learning different subject areas while, simultaneously, performing roles in social activities recreated in play inside the classroom. In order to illustrate this process, participants will play with data from a research project that works with bilingual teacher education (English-Portuguese and French-Portuguese) and create possibilities to reflect about their own contexts.


Gabriel Diaz Maggioli is Dean of the School of Language Learning and Teaching and Director of the MATESOL program at The New School, a university in New York. His research revolves around Sociocultural Theory as applied to the development of a viable pedagogy for teacher education. 

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Leonardos in the Classroom or a Renaissance for Teachers

In this plenary we will explore the many facets of a teacher's tasks by drawing comparison between our profession and the traits and characteristics that made people like Leonardo da Vinci so unique. We will explore how we, too, can embody those characteristics so that they result in effective teaching for effective student learning.

WORKSHOP: Four perspectives in teacher education

The last century saw the birth of teacher education as a profession and with it, the influx of various perspectives which many times contradicted one another. In this workshop, we will explore in depth three of those competing perspectives and attempt to rescue their most effective areas. Finally, we will put forward a fourth emerging perspective which bears the potential to bring together the old and the new.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Communicating across cultures: encounters in the “contact zone” 

One of the central concerns of foreign language learning is how to communicate our changing identities in languages used to express worldviews different from our own. In a context of growing intercultural communication, reading and responding to texts in which cultures come into contact can help us develop intercultural awareness, as the encounter with otherness can encourage reflection on how meanings can be communicated across cultures. 

Intercultural competence is at the core of the national guidelines (“Núcleos de aprendizaje prioritarios”) for foreign languages and is a transversal objective in foreign language curricula in different regions of Argentina. However, teachers often find it challenging to plan their classes with an intercultural focus.

WORKSHOP: Routes into writing: Developing writing skills

There are three major perspectives in writing research in the last 30 years: writing as process, product and social activity. This workshop will look at ways of helping students develop their writing skills through exposure to activities focussing on each perspective: exploring how we write (process), what we write (product) and writing as a social and cultural activity. For continuity, the examples will be from an English for Academic Purposes context, but the workshop will be accessible to all.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Myths and Misunderstandings about Dual Language Acquisition in Young Learners

There has been growing interest in children who learn language in diverse contexts and under diverse circumstances. In particular, dual language acquisition has become the focus of much research attention, arguably in response to growing awareness that dual language learning is common in children. A deeper understanding of dual language learning under different circumstances is important to ensure the formulation of theories of language learning that encompass all language learners and to provide critical information for clinical, educational, and other practical decisions that touch the lives of young language learners. This talk will review research findings on dual language learning in both school and non-school settings, among simultaneous and sequential bilinguals, and in typically-developing learners and those with an impaired capacity for language learning. Key findings with respect to common myths and misunderstandings that surround dual language acquisition in young learners will be reviewed and discussed and their implications for both theoretical and practical matters will be considered.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: La enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras en la construcción del plurilingüismo en América Latina

La enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras, en su larga historia en América Latina, se ha concebido y practicado en forma bastante aislada de los contextos de multilingüismo y sus condicionantes socio-culturales y económicos. Sin embargo, los avances de la investigación interdisciplinaria ponen en relieve las complejas interrelaciones lingüísticas, cognitivas y socioeconómicas que determinan este campo y lo relacionan con dos espacios de bi y multilingüismo que se ubican en polos opuestos de la escala social: la educación indígena bilingüe y las escuelas bilingües privadas de élite, cada una con sus respectivas comunidades de sustento. Una política integradora de las lenguas y la educación tendrá que señalar de qué manera los espacios de las lenguas extranjeras, lenguas inmigrantes y lenguas indígenas podrán contribuir a una transición desde posiciones tradicionales que consideran la diversidad lingüística como un problema, hacia orientaciones y prácticas que promueven un plurilingüismo enriquecedor de las sociedades latinoamericanas en su conjunto.

WORKSHOP: Educación intercultural bilingüe indígena en México: La integración de lenguas, culturas y asignaturas

En la charla se presentará el vídeo documental “T’arhexperakua – creciendo juntos” que relata la experiencia de un proyecto educativo p’urhepecha, un pueblo indígena mexicano, que elaboró su currículo intercultural y bilingüe propio, basado en la alfabetización y enseñanza de todas las materias en lengua indígena (L1) y la enseñanza del español como segunda lengua (L2). Desde hace más de diez años, este proyecto escolar cuenta con el acompañamiento de un equipo académico con quien desarrolló un proceso de investigación colaborativa e intervención escolar. Se discutirán con el público los temas enunciados en el título.

Es autora de Lenguas, escuela y diversidad sociocultural (Barcelona: Ed. Graó) y de diversos artículos en revistas especializadas.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Prácticas y repertorios plurilingües escolares: miradas desde la etnografía y la interacción

La sociolingüística contemporánea ha mostrado que el trabajo etnográfico y el análisis interaccional pueden coexistir en una propuesta de investigación cualitativa orientada hacia la descripción de las formas en que se despliegan y se modifican los repertorios lingüísticos en contextos escolares. Para estas investigaciones, la descripción de las prácticas y repertorios plurilingües necesita no sólo considerar la mirada del investigador en la adscripción de los rasgos verbales a una lengua u a otra, sino, especialmente, el estudio de las formas en que los propios hablantes categorizan o “tratan” las formas del habla, explotando comunicativamente o bien el contraste entre sistemas verbales –base del cambio de lenguas o codeswitching-, o bien, la convergencia, potencialmente emergente en formas mixtas, híbridas o bivalentes.

Este giro epistemológico, que descentra el monolingüismo en la teoría lingüística contemporánea y pone en evidencia la necesidad de nuevas categorías para describir los códigos semióticos en juego en interacciones multilingües, impacta, creemos, en la didáctica de las lenguas, la cual se ve interpelada por nuevos datos y nuevas categorías, muchas veces incompatibles con la visión fragmentaria y parcializada de las lenguas, las culturas y sus relaciones, vigente en las propuestas actuales de enseñanza.

Es objetivo de esta ponencia poner en diálogo los resultados de estas investigaciones con algunas propuestas didácticas actuales, que recuperan la actividad, la diversidad y la interdisciplinariedad como ejes centrales de trabajo en el aula. Para ello, seexpondrán dos casos distantes y en diálogo. Por un lado, el estudio de la socialización lingüística escolar de niños y jóvenes migrados a Barcelona (2004-2009), que nos servirá para revisar tres nociones importantes para una didáctica plural de las lenguas: prácticas plurilingües; repertorios plurilingües; comunidad de habla. Por otro lado, el estudio de las interacciones bilingües en escuelas wichis del Chaco (2010-2013), las cuales nos posibilitarán adentrarnos en las relaciones complejas entre identidad, poder y aprendizaje de lenguas.

PD 1 “ICT and Teaching: Collaborating to build knowledge?”

We have often heard there is fear of technology among educators. Some believe MOOCs will kill the class or that data will dehumanise college, or perhaps that e-books will kill the book. What is the current situation in our classrooms? How does ICT impact our teachers and students? Teaching and learning with ICT does not facilitate a common experience, but rather facilitates an experience each person can make their own, it allows for a different timing, and degree of awareness-raising.

PD 2 British Council Continuing Professional Development Framework & APIBA Professional Development Programmes

A language teacher’s career begins with initial training and grows into a lifelong journey where no two people take the same path. The British Council’s Continuing Professional Development Framework identifies six stages in a teacher’s career, from Starting to Specialist, and serves as a guide to the opportunities available to progress. Along these lines, APIBA will present Programmes that foster the continuing professional development of its Members and of teacher trainees at various stages of their careers: APIBA SIGs, APIBA Professional Issues SIG, APIBA Junior & Senior Programmes, APIBA Mentoring Programme.
