New Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Language Learning (Aiall)
Despite the benefits of artificial intelligence-assisted language learning (AIALL) for students and teachers, the scientific literature in this field remains relatively scarce, especially regarding the perceptions of language teachers. This paper aims to narrow this research gap by considering the potential cultural differences between in-service language teachers by comparing and contrasting the attitudes of language teachers located in differen…
Collaborative international online learning for the development of intercultural awareness
Purpose Considering the potential of Collaborative International Online Learning (COIL) for cross-boundaries interacting and collaborating effectively, this study aims to explore the intercultural awareness of pre-service language teachers after participating in a COIL project. Design/methodology/approach Following a quantitative research approach and an exploratory cross-sectional method, the authors administered a 13-item questionnaire to unvei…
Spanish bilingual and language education
The profound evolution that Spanish language education has experienced since the passing of the first modern educational law in 1970 has led to improved students’ proficiency. In this sense, traditional foreign language teaching has been gradually substituted by Bilingual Education in the country to promote language learning, intercultural competence, and mobility; however, reviews in the field have not examined language education in all the Span…
LGBTIQ+ issues in teacher education
Up to now, research is limited when examining how gender identity and sexual orientation are addressed in the world's educational systems, and studies in this field have mainly focused on analysing the stereotypes and invisibility of LGBTIQ+ people in coursebooks, as well as on the remaining fights against discrimination. Consequently, little has been studied yet about pre-service teachers' attitudes. This quantitative study explores Spanish pre-…
Participation in bilingual education programs as a key factor to linguistic success
As in other countries, bilingual/multilingual education has become widespread in Spain. However, research either focuses on Spanish programs’ implementation, students’ performance or teacher training, but not on their contribution to graduates’ self-perceived linguistic success (understood as a combination of intercultural competence, international mobility and employability). Therefore, this paper studies whether Spanish bilingual education resu…

En el proceso actual de implementación de políticas plurilingües, especialmente gracias al denominado “Programa de la Trinidad de Lenguas”, la República de Kazajstán se está esforzando por utilizar la educación plurilingüe como instrumento fundamental para lograr la competencia lingüística en tres idiomas: kazajo, ruso e inglés. Al tratarse de una situación de transición, en la que se está debatiendo intensamente, el uso del Aprendizaje Integrado…
A Cross-Cultural Qualitative Study on Students’ Attitudes towards Computer-Assisted Language Learning
This cross-cultural qualitative study investigated the attitudes and perceptions of language students towards computer-assisted language learning (CALL). We examined the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of CALL in language education according to Iranian and Spanish students’ perceptions and attitudes. In addition, we found out the differences between Iranian and Spanish language students’ perceptions and attitudes towards CALL. T…
La traducción de elementos textuales en obras de arte contemporáneo
Starting from Genette’s (1987) notion of ‘paratext’, which is the foundation of Yuste’s (2015) theory of ‘paratranslation’, this paper will analyse what happens, as far as the viewer’s experience is concerned, when an art work presents textual elements in a language different from the viewer’s language. To this end, we will identify the verbal elements included in works exhibited in art fairs, paying special attention to the International Contemp…
