EN Framed within a Sociocultural Theory of Mind approach to Second Language Learning and Development (Lantolf & Poehner, 2014), this article presents a pedagogical proposal for implementing concept-based instruction (C-BI) in the Spanish heritage language (HL) classroom in order to promote the development and internalization of the grammatical concept of aspect. Although aspect has been found to be particularly troublesome for heritage language learners (Montrul, 2009;Silva-Corvalán, 1994), few studies have focused on teaching conceptual development of verbal aspect in the HL classroom. This paper contributes to filling this gap by proposing an innovative pedagogical design aimed at providing HL students with the opportunity to generate and transform a conceptual understanding of aspect through conscious interaction in significant, coherent, and systematic ways. Key words: CONCEPT-BASED INSTRUCTION, ASPECT, HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS, SPANISH, SOCIOCULTURAL THEORYES Enmarcado dentro de la teoría sociocultural de la mente aplicada al desarrollo y aprendizaje de segundas lenguas (Lantolf y Poehner, 2014), este artículo expone una propuesta pedagógica dirigida a la implementación de la instrucción basada en conceptos (C-BI, por sus siglas en inglés) en el aula de español como lengua de herencia (español LH ), con el fin de promover el desarrollo e interiorización conceptual del aspecto gramatical. Aunque se ha comprobado que el aspecto entraña una especial dificultad en los aprendices de LH (Montrul 2009;Silva-Corvalán, 1994), no hay, por el momento, propuestas específicas sobre cómo enseñar a desarrollar conceptualmente el aspecto verbal en el aula de LH. El presente trabajo contribuye a llenar este vacío, proponiendo un diseño pedagógico innovador, enfocado en proporcionar a los aprendices de LH la oportunidad de desarrollar y transformar su comprensión del aspecto verbal a través de una interacción consciente y significativa con el concepto y una presentación del concepto coherente y sistemática. Palabras clave: INSTRUCCIÓN CONCEPTUAL, ASPECTO, APRENDICES DE LENGUA DE HERENCIA, ESPAÑOL, TEORÍA SOCIOCULTURALIT Questo articolo si inquadra all'interno della teoria socioculturale della mente in relazione all'acquisizione della seconda lingua (Lantolf & Poehner, 2014). Il lavoro presenta una proposta pedagogica per l'impiego dell'Insegnamento basato su concetti (C-BI) nell'ambito della classe di spagnolo come lingua ereditaria (SLE), al fine di promuovere lo sviluppo ed internalizzazione del concetto grammaticale dell'aspetto verbale. Sebbene si è visto che l'aspetto verbale è particolarmente difficile per studenti di SLE (Montrul, 2009;Silva-Corvalán, 1994), scarseggiano studi che si concentrino sull'insegnamento dello sviluppo concettuale dell'aspetto verbale nella classe di SLE. Questo testo contribuisce a colmare questa lacuna proponendo un innovativo disegno pedagogico volto a fornire agli studenti di SLE l'opportunità di generare e trasformare una comprensione concettuale dell'aspetto verbale attrave...
This article on teacher cognition explores the implementation of an interactionist Dynamic Assessment (DA) model for mediating and ascertaining in-service L2 teachers’ microgenetic conceptual development after being exposed to Concept- Based Instruction (CBI). Although the effectiveness of this instructional approach in the development of L2 instructors (van Compernolle and Henery, 2015; Williams, Abraham, and Negueruela, 2013), and the use of DA to facilitate L2 development (Anton, 2009; Davin, 2013; Lantolf and Poehner, 2011, 2014; Poehner, 2008) have been both investigated, there is no research addressing the role of DA in fostering the development of in-service L2 teachers’ conceptual language awareness after being exposed to CBI. This article intends to address this gap by exploring the case study of Glinda (pseudonym), an experienced in-service teacher of Spanish whose L1 was also Spanish, and her developing linguistic and pedagogical beliefs regarding the concept of aspect before and after conceptual instruction.
