Publicación Developing CLIL in Tertiary Education: Working with Tourism Texts(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) Escobar Álvarez, Mª ÁngelesMany adults enter higher education in Europe where English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is key to their studies and therefore they are required to have sufficient preparation for the development of professional expertise in this target language. Recently, Content Language Integrative Learning (CLIL) has also been incorporated in tertiary education. This chapter examines a number of challenges addressing both ESP and CLIL. The main goal of this chapter is twofold: (i) To focus on students’ needs when facing ESP; (ii) To discuss the skills required to succeed in CLIL modules paying attention to both the acquisition of disciplinary content and the improvement of the target language. In particular, this chapter examines some carefully prepared reading and writing activities for a university course on English for Tourism.Publicación Audiovisual translation (dubbing and audio description) as a didactic tool to promote foreign language learning: The case of Spanish clitic pronouns(John Benjamins, 2021) Vermeulen, Anna; Escobar Álvarez, Mª ÁngelesThis empirical study focuses on the use of Spanish clitic pronouns when they function as accusative or as dative clitics in the translation tasks performed by university students of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL). The participants were 35 Belgian Dutch-speaking students of SFL (Level B2) from the Department of Translation, Interpreting and Communication of Ghent University (Belgium), who are enrolled in the Translation course. They were asked to perform two tasks: (1) to create an audio description script in Spanish, and (2) to translate the English dialogues into Spanish from a sequence taken from the film The Help (Taylor 2011). The written texts they produced were compared to those written by 39 Erasmus Spanish native students, who carried out the same tasks. The results showed that the Belgian students produced significantly fewer clitic pronouns, especially in the case of dative clitic doubling, than those produced by the Spanish natives. As for the differences between the two modes of audiovisual translation, the findings revealed that the Belgians produced more accurate results in the interlingual than in the intersemiotic task. The results of our study also made it clear that more attention should be paid to the use of redundant clitic pronouns in the SFL classroom.Publicación Designing and implementing blogs in English second language learning(European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU), 2022) Sánchez Calderón, Silvia; Escobar Álvarez, Mª ÁngelesThis paper discusses the design and implementation of an institutional blog that hosts a repository of online and open access grammar checkers with the objective of fostering the development of autonomous learning through the acquisition of skills related to the self-correction of written essays in English. Examples of these tools include Grammarly, ProWriting Aid, PaperRater or Writing Assistant, among others. This repository is hosted in an institutional blog at the National University of Distance Education (UNED), and each grammar checker is structured as follows: (a) a brief description of the tool; (b) the main functionalities that each tool offers for the self-correction of English texts with the visual support of a checklist; and (c) a short video tutorial. The main distinctive feature of these video tutorials is that they have been designed, taking as a starting point a corpus of English written texts produced by undergraduate students of Instrumental English I and II of the English Bachelor’s Degree and Modern Language I. Foreign Language: English of the Spanish Language and Literature Bachelor’s Degree. Thus, this institutional blog aims to contribute to the expansion of innovative digital resources that will help both English second language learners in the development of their written competence and self-correction of errors and English language teachers in the implementation of online Information and Communication Technology tools in the classroom.Publicación El Trabajo de Fin de Grado en el ámbito filológico: evaluación del grado de satisfacción en el proceso de elaboración y tutorización(Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior (México), 2021) Sánchez Calderón, Silvia; Escobar Álvarez, Mª ÁngelesEl objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el nivel de satisfacción de 93 estudiantes del Grado en Estudios Ingleses con una metodología de aprendizaje a distancia durante la elaboración del Trabajo de Fin de Grado, la función tutorial y el uso de los recursos en el curso virtual. A través de una encuesta en línea, los estudiantes mostraron alta satisfacción con su línea de trabajo y las orientaciones del tutor. Los recursos didácticos del curso virtual reflejaron una satisfacción media, lo que sugiere mejoras en el uso de vídeos, recursos bibliográficos y seminarios sobre la elaboración de un trabajo académico.Publicación Análisis contrastivo inglés-español de las recomendaciones sobre lenguaje claro en el ámbito jurídico-administrativo en los últimos 10 años dentro de la UNIÓN EUROPEA(Editorial Comares, 2022) Escobar Álvarez, Mª Ángeles; Samaniego Fernández, Eva; Cunha Fanego, Iria DaPublicación El Trabajo Fin de Máster (TFM) de Humanidades en el EEES: Análisis de las necesidades de los estudiantes(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-06-29) San Mateo Valdehíta, Alicia; Chacón Beltrán, Manuel Rubén; Escobar Álvarez, Mª ÁngelesLa implantación del Plan Bolonia ha supuesto modificaciones en el sistema universitario español. Para obtener un título de máster, es preciso elaborar y defender un trabajo final (TFM), que el estudiante realiza bajo la tutela de un profesor. En los másteres oficiales, tanto de orientación lingüística como literaria, que se imparten con la metodología de la enseñanza a distancia, en la facultad de Filología de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), se han detectado carencias y dificultades durante la elaboración de estos trabajos finales. En el proyecto han participado 434 informantes, entre matriculados (n= 105) en los másteres y egresados (n= 329), y el objetivo es llevar a cabo un análisis completo de las experiencias y necesidades de tipo académico mediante la distribución de un cuestionario online. De las conclusiones se desprenden propuestas concretas para solventar las dificultades detectadas en este estudio.
