Percepciones de Académicos y Estudiantes sobre Inclusión
Las universidades deben actualmente avanzar hacia la justicia social y la promoción de ambientes educativos inclusivos. Para ello, es útil contar con instrumentos que permitan estimar el nivel de inclusión. Los objetivos de la presente investigación fueron adaptar uno de los cuestionarios del Índice para la Inclusión al contexto universitario y estimar el nivel de inclusión de una institución universitaria haciendo uso de la adaptación del instru…
Autistic and neurotypical variance in the appraisal of emotional and interoceptive words
Introduction This study investigates how neurotype influences the emotional appraisal of words. Methods A total of 131 Spanish-speaking adults in Chile (63 autistic and 68 neurotypical) rated on a 7-point Likert scale 238 Spanish nouns across six affective dimensions: (a) valence, (b) arousal, (c) subjective frequency, (d) association with depression, (e) association with anxiety, and (f) association with anger. Descriptive statistics and Princip…
Bridging the Gap between Teaching and Research
(Re)Examining the research–practice interface
In applied linguistics, the interface between research and practice (broadly construed to include but not be limited to additional language teachers, teacher educators, policymakers, materials designers, test developers, etc.) has gained increasing attention in recent years (e.g., Sato & Loewen, 2022a). Recent calls (e.g., Sato, 2023) have urged applied linguists to both prioritize research which can INFORM and BE INFORMED BY practice as well as …
Be(com)ing an Educational Researcher in the Global South (and Beyond)
Educational researchers are increasingly expected to focus on their research productivity as per their professional performance. Such a trend may have influenced their professional identities and activities, especially in the Global South, where researchers have not been immersed in the new research culture and where their assumed primary role may be to increase teaching efficacy instead. The pervasive focus on research productivity is detrimenta…

La multimodalidad continúa ganando importancia en los estudios del análisis del discurso a medida que la tecnología incrementa el acceso de los lectores al contenido digital. Considerando el impacto de la prensa en la percepción de la realidad, es de importancia revelar la forma en la cual se representan distintas experiencias humanas por medio del uso de una combinación de recursos semióticos. En este contexto, el presente estudio tiene como obj…
The roles of vocabulary knowledge and metacognitive awareness as mediators between prior knowledge and L2 academic reading
In recent years, reading comprehension studies have followed a componential approach aimed at determining the way in which variables interact. However, in L2 academic reading comprehension, this progress is still in its initial stages. With this context in mind, this paper aims to explore the relationship between prior knowledge and L2 reading comprehension by proposing a mediation model that considers L2 vocabulary knowledge and metacognitive aw…
The Impact of a Vision Intervention on Translation and Interpretation Students’ L2 Motivation
Visionary teaching interventions have had a positive impact on developing and strengthening students’ ideal L2 self and motivated behavior. However, research on the effects of this kind of intervention on the motivation of translation and interpretation students is scarce. Using a mixed methods approach, the study aimed to evaluate the impact of a semester-long intervention, focused on translation and interpretation students’ future professional …
Subjectivity in Spanish causal connectives
Recent literature has focused on specifying the nature of causal relations. Although the identification of whether connectives prototypically convey objective or subjective relations has been carried out for languages such as French, Dutch and English, the same has not occurred in the case of Spanish. The present study examines frequently used connectives and lexical cue phrases in terms of domain, propositional attitude, and presence of a Subjec…
La escritura del resumen en biología
Debido a su rol clave en la diseminación del conocimiento en la academia, el resumen ha sido estudiado respecto a aspectos tales como su realización léxico-gramatical y organización retórica. Sin embargo, el ordenamiento de estos hallazgos no se ha realizado desde la mirada disciplinar de la biología. El presente estudio busca organizar los hallazgos relacionados a la organización retórica, el posicionamiento del autor y las relaciones de coheren…
Coherence Relations in Primary School Textbooks
The aim of this study was to compare the use of coherence relations in the school textbooks of four primary school subjects. A corpus of 1,882 texts, corresponding to the genres used to teach in the school textbooks of Science, Language, Mathematics, and History, was analyzed. The analysis was performed manually using a taxonomy that incorporates and adapts criteria developed in the Cognitive approach to Coherence Relations and in the Connectivit…
