“…As for teacher thinking centred on the teaching of Spanish, many more studies have been conducted on Spanish as a native language than on Spanish as a foreign language. There is a thriving flow of research in Spain and Latin America on the thinking of teachers with regard to academic writing (Carlino, 2008 ; Ortiz et al, 2009 ; Martins, 2012 , 2014 ; Capomagi, 2013 ; Castell and Mateos, 2015 ; Giraldo, 2015 ; Flores, 2018 ; Bigi et al, 2019 ; Cordero and Carlino, 2019 ; Gordillo, 2019 ) and on reading literacy and comprehension of academic texts (Makuc, 2008 ; Suárez, 2015 ; Mojarro-Delgadillo and Alvarado-Nando, 2021 ), where diverse implicit theories are usually used: the linear or decoding theory (Laberge and Samuels, 1994 ), the generative cognition theory (Chomsky, 1974 ), the interactive or procedural theory (van Dijk and Kintsch, 1983 ; Rumelhart, 1997 ); the transactional theory (Goodman, 1994 ; Rosenblatt, 1996 ; Mendoza, 2001 ).…”
