Actitudes y competencias docentes en profesores de español de los Institutos Federais (Brasil) en relación con las variedades de la lengua

Abstract

<p>With the intention of studying the reality of the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language in Brazil and its different varieties, 25 teachers who work at the Institutos Federais from the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Roraima have answered a thorough questionnaire. Thanks to their answers we can, both generally speaking and as teachers, define their sociolinguistic profiles in relation to their training, prejudices, beliefs and attitudes towards variation and varieties within the Spanish language. After analyzing all the collected information, we have come to observed a complex landscape of training deficits, sensitivities, attitudes, teaching approaches and needs that make necessary a profound reflection and the consequent involvement of the academic authorities at issue, as well as the cooperation of other actors involved in the realm of Spanish-FL.</p>

Exploring Teachers’ Beliefs and Practices of Dialectal Variation in the Spanish Foreign Language Classroom in Secondary Schools: An Empirical Study in Germany

“…Costa Venâncio da Silva & Andión Herrero (2019) were able to create a sociolinguistic profile of the teachers regarding their training, prejudices, beliefs and attitudes regarding variation and varieties of the Spanish language based on the questionnaire results of 25 teachers from the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Roraima (Brasil). For all teachers surveyed, variety-related aspects in Spanish teaching are an important issue and they consider it a key competence on the learners' side.…”
