Higher education institutions are increasingly reliant on part-time faculty without job security. While this practice offers economic flexibility to institutions by enabling them to hire contingent or adjunct faculty at lower rates, research has found a knock-on effect on teaching quality, employee motivation, and career advancement. In this article, we use data from a large survey of Spanish language teaching professionals, most of whom work in …

Cross-linguistic lexical influence between English and Spanish
This article focuses on the cross-linguistic lexical influence between English and Spanish. We begin by redefining the concept of cross-linguistic lexical influence as the impact that two or more languages have on each other’s vocabulary.
