Empirical approach from lexical availability to the influence of sociolinguistic factors on mastery of spelling / Aproximación empírica desde la disponibilidad léxica a la influencia de los factores sociolingüísticos en el dominio ortográfico

Abstract

Correct spelling is associated with social prestige. However, the research carried out in the Spanish-speaking world, from preschool to university, shows little impact of social class on spelling competence. In this study, we use lexical availability materials to investigate the influence of sociolinguistic factorsgender, type of school, area and sociocultural levelon pre-university students' misspellings. The factorial correspondence analysis showed that the variables studied are directly related to the type of error recorded. Sociocultural level may be especially significant: the lower the level, the greater and more stigmatized the reported errors. These results encourage us to reflect on the levelling power that school should have in the twenty-first century when preparing students to face life in society with the strongest guarantees of success.

Competencia comunicativa en educación superior: hacia una evaluación diagnóstica integral

“…En el plano de la competencia léxica, la gran mayoría de las investigaciones se presentan en el ámbito de la adquisición de segundas lenguas y, tal como lo ha hecho este trabajo, suelen apoyarse en los estudios de disponibilidad léxica. Dentro de este grupo, es común encontrar estudios orientados hacia búsqueda de relaciones entre competencia léxica y comprensión lectora (Cepeda et al 2016;Czypionka et al, 2019), competencia léxica y producción escrita (Pan & Liu, 2019), o bien, entre competencia léxica y factores extralingüísticos (Trigo, Romero & Santos-Díaz, 2019).…”

Multimodality in language education: implications of a multimodal affective perspective in foreign language teaching

“…Normally, educators deliver corrective feedback through the written modality. Instead, the paradigm shift toward digital and distance learning has accentuated the necessity for enhanced pedagogical training beyond the written modality ( Trigo et al, 2019 ; Ibáñez et al, 2022 ). The incorporation of technology has expanded the scope through which educators can provide multimodal corrective feedback (MCF) to their students.…”
