“…Critical pedagogical approaches (Freire 1970;Giroux 2011) focus on empowering learners to recognize the nature of established power structures and patterns of inequality that exist among societal members. This critical consciousness (conscientização, Freire 1970), which we might conceptualize as an extension of critical thinking, would encourage students to engage in concrete activities to bring about positive societal change in their communities to address these inequities. Similarly, an ecological approach to language teaching and learning views learners as interconnected in dynamic relationships within an ecosystem with other learners, and all elements of the environment (van Lier 2004).…”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-powered machine translation bring opportunities and challenges for L2 educators and students. Most recently, the emergence of AI-based chatbots, such as ChatGPT, has led to calls for a revision of traditional teaching methods to prioritize reflective reasoning and critical thinking. This article studies the potentialities of Applied Translation (AT) to promote essential critical thinking skills needed to engage effectively with AI-based tools in the L2 classroom. We present the IMI+ framework (Integration, Multimodality, and Interaction) for integrating AT in language education, which helps support the development of digital literacy and critical thinking in L2 classrooms. Furthermore, given the challenges related to privacy and ethics inherent in these new technologies, we propose applying a Critical Ecological Approach (CEA) to AT to help learners navigate those challenges by identifying power imbalances and societal inequities. Finally, we explain how the seven articles in this special issue showcase the potential applications of AT in Spanish language education.

“…The field of SLT has grown and gained international visibility as well as academic reputation in recent decades (Fuertes Gutiérrez et al 2021;Lacorte and Suárez García 2014;Muñoz-Basols et al 2014;Muñoz-Basols et al 2017;Carrera Troyano 2014). According to the Instituto Cervantes (2020), 7.5% of the world population speaks Spanish, and 27 million students in 110 countries were learning Spanish as a second or foreign language in 2020.…”

Teacher training programs and models recognize research engagement as a key competency of qualified professionals. However, despite current calls from scholars to bridge the divide between research and practice in second language teaching, little is known about how teaching professionals engage with existing research or carry out their own research. This study is the first to address this issue with regards to Spanish Language Teaching (SLT) professionals, aiming to understand if and how they engage with and in research, and identify what they would need to increase their engagement. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of online survey responses from 1,675 SLT professionals from 84 countries show that research engagement is dependent on the job description. Coding of free-text responses into eight themes (motivation, prestige, support, training, professionalization, resources, community, and research areas) reveals that the main barrier to greater research engagement is lack of support. Our results contribute to the understanding of the concepts of research engagement and research culture within the context of SLT and inform future initiatives to strengthen the research-practice nexus.
