Can We Praxize Second Language Teacher Education? An Invitation to Join a Collective, Collaborative Challenge
Authors: Sharkey Judy 
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this essay is to begin a conversation on how we might make praxis, or ''praxizing,'' i.e., fostering and sustaining an ongoing dialogical relationship between theory and practice, an integral part of second language teacher education. This project is firmly located in critical sociocultural theories of, and approaches to, language learning and teaching, and requires active, participatory and collaborative inquiries by teacher educators and teacher learners across the multiple levels and stages of teacher learning from entry level courses to teaching practica and beyond. Examples of praxis/praxizing are included as well as some of the challenges to doing this work.

Action Research In Education: A Way Towards Professional Development And Autonomy
Authors: Arias Clara Inés , Restrepo María Isabel 
Published: June 2023

In this piece of writing we demonstrate the way the work dynamics of our team of teacher and student researchers (PEALE, acronym in Spanish) has contributed to our professional development and autonomy. We do not show the results of the action research project on evaluation of foreign language acquisition, but how it has promoted knowledge, experience, social, research, and evaluation skills, and attitudes towards evaluation and research. With examples of practices held in the team, we illustrate how reflexivity, dialectic critique, and collaboration, action research principles, are put into action. We also refer to the relationship among these principles and professional development, autonomy, and the researchers’ willingness to use the empowerment gained in the transformation of their educational communities.

Assessment Of General Competences In The Professional Development Of Foreign Language Teachers
Authors: Estrada Lucía 
Published: June 2023

This paper presents the results of the second phase of the research project ''Prácticas evaluativas en la adquisición de lenguas extranjeras, PEALE'' (Assessment practices in foreign languages acquisition), mainly oriented to propose an evaluation system where the communicative competences (linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic) play a very important role. The fndings reveal a set of competences not yet openly discussed: the general competences, regarded by scholars from different academic backgrounds as key factors that deeply infuence foreign language (FL) learning, teaching, and assessment processes. The general competences (i.e., learning, learning to be, learning to do and learning to learn) are part of the teachers' profle proposed in different FL teaching training programs in Colombia. Therefore, it is important to refect on the consolidation processes of these competences: both on their incidence in the students' promotion process, and on the proper use of these competences in the FL teachers' performance and professional development. Teacher training is expected to provide teachers with the appropriate tools to develop the general competences in their actual academic performance contexts. However, the strategies are yet to be defned to verify whether the general competences are consolidated with teaching practice or they tend to lose visibility in favor of the linguistic competences.

Ideological and Formal Manipulation in Pablo Montoya Capuzano’s Literay Translation
Authors: Orozco Wilson 
Published: June 2023

El presente artículo es una reflexión sobre el conversatorio realizado con el traductor y escritor colombiano Pablo Montoya Campuzano. En dicho conversatorio, se le indagó por su formación, sus estrategias de traducción, y su relación con la escritura y la traducción. Para la reflexión se tomaron los planteamientos de André Lefevere, sobre todo los que tienen que ver con la concepción de la traducción como un tipo de reescritura. En cualquier forma en la que se reescriba un texto literario (bien sea desde la misma elección, traducción o edición), existen dos tipos de manipulación, que son la ideológica y la formal. A la luz entonces de estos conceptos, se analiza lo dicho por Pablo Montoya, teniendo como telón de fondo su concepción de la traducción como una posibilidad de formación para la escritura.

Literary Text in the Spanish as a Foreign Language Class: Proposals and Use Models
Authors: Jouini Khemais 
Published: June 2023

This article aims to propose the introduction of the literary text to the programs of Spanish as a foreign language (S/FL). The literary text in this frame is meant to be a communication act and a means for teaching / learning Spanish as a foreign language within an institutionalized and artificial context made suitable for an intermediate / advanced student profile. The research gives considerable importance to the literary text as an input that catalyzes a variety of both oral and written activities and as a didactical means integrating communication skills. Moreover, it establishes some selection criteria in order to target the characteristics of the texts to be used, in accordance with linguistic goals, contents and students' needs and interests, suggesting some useful didactical and methodological parameters for enhancing suitable activities for all text types. Finally, two practical proposals for transforming a literary text into a communication activity are presented.

Classification of Specialized Texts Based on Their Terminologies
Authors: Guantiva Acosta Ricardo , Cabré Castellví Maria Teresa , Casrellà Lidon Josep Maria 
Published: June 2023

This article deals with the classification of specialized texts based on the linguistic typology of terminology units and their density within the texts. With this in mind, we review some basic concepts of text linguistics in the context of specialized communication (general texts and specialized texts) in order to establish the differences between communicative registers. We also examine the concept of terminology unit, using the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT). In terms of the materials used, we worked with a text related to the topic of ''human genome'', classified into different levels of specialization. To this respect we also offer a brief description of the computer analysis carried out in the extraction and detection of the terminology units within the texts, and we present the results, classifying the texts into different levels of specialization.

Textual selection and progression in teaching the basics of legal translation
Authors: Le Poder Marie Evelyne 
Published: June 2023

This work is about text selection and progression in teaching introductory legal translation, that is to say, about the initiation phase of this specialization. Textual selection and progression constitute the Achilles heel of translation didactics since establishing real applicable valid criteria for textual selection from a didactic point of view is a diffi cult task. The methodological proposal I offer is based on the subjects of Economics, Commerce and Legal Translation, part of the four-year undergraduate Translation Studies at the University of Granada, as well as the rest of Translation Studies in Spain.

The Professional Development of Foreign Language Teacher Educators: Another Challenge for Professional Communities
Authors: González Moncada Adriana , Sierra Ospina Nelly 
Published: June 2023

The professional development of Colombian foreign language teacher educators faces many challenges that require individual and institutional actions as well as the participation of a community of teacher educators. This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study in which eighteen Colombian teacher educators describe their professional alternatives to achieve higher standards in their jobs. Data collection includes focus groups, in-depth interviews, a questionnaire, and e-mail correspondence. The analysis showed that teaching advanced courses, doing research, attending and presenting in international conferences, being involved in reflective practice, developing autonomous agendas, and networking represent the best means to accomplish their professional growth.

Teachersí Own Identities Concocting a Potion to Treat the Syndrome of Doctor Jekyll and Edward Hyde in Teachers
Authors: Serna Dimas Héctor Manuel 
Published: June 2023

The search for teachers' own identities in a world that has shadowed their nature and their role in society is the purpose of this paper. The author uses the narrative of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to illustrate how teachers' conflicting views of who they are as professionals and what they do in classrooms bring about a series of tensions that can only be resolved by the opening of teaching education programs whose main foundations strive for the recognition of teachers as intellectuals who require affiliation to a community of practitioners, and whose undertakings will be geared towards the articulation and voicing of teachers' thinking and understanding of their profession beyond the knowledge from the ancillary areas that contribute to teaching, namely, linguistics, psychology and pedagogy.

A Rationale for a Translator-Centered, Process-Oriented Methodology for Translation Quality Assessment
Authors: Ramírez Giraldo Juan Guillermo 
Published: June 2023

Normally the translation scholars concerned with the lack of objective parameters with which to carry out effective translation quality assessment processes have conducted their studies based on what is most easily observable: translated texts. In this article, we propose a methodology for the assessment of translated texts within an undergraduate translation program that takes into account not only the final product of the translation, but also the processes that led to the translated text and the subject who produced it.

Teachers Acting Critically Upon the Curriculum: Innovations that Transform Teaching
Authors: Clavijo Olarte Amparo , Guerrero Melo Carmen Helena , Torres Jaramillo Claudia , Ramírez Galindo Luz Maribel , Torres Mesa Nelly Esperanza 
Published: June 2023

This article describes the results of an interpretative qualitative research study in the field of teacher education carried out to identify the processes of innovation in the language curriculum by a group of public school teachers in Bogotá. The innovation process was observed in three stages: identification of the area of intervention, planning, and imple­mentation of the innovation. Data was collected through interviews, videotaped sessions, tutors' reports, and the final documents of the innovation projects. The unit of analysis was the declarative statements of teachers. Two broad aspects of the process of innovation were identified: the process of curricular innovation and the group processes in managing the innovation. In the data analysis three categories emerged that are described in the discussion of findings: shifting the focus of the curriculum,adopting a curricular perspective to support innovative practices, and acting reflectively and dynamically in the innovation. The results tell us that teachers planned and carried out curricular innovations thinking critically about students' needs and interests. They adopted curricular perspectives that helped them construct and support their classroom projects. Finally, teachers acted reflectively during the implementation of the innovation by adjusting their pedagogical practices in order to benefit students' learning and to achieve their institutional goal.

Diversity and Continuity. How Did Ferdinand de Saussure Teach Linguistic Practices?
Authors: Mejía Quijano Claudia , Restrepo Montoya Natalia , Salleg Carvajalino Andrés 
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a reflection on the results of the research project, "Practice and Theory in Ferdinand de Saussure," conducted at the University of Antioquia. We state the objective of the study, describe the materials and methodology used and the stages of the project, and relate the results of Saussure's linguistic practices as a teacher to his general theory of language. In this way, we demonstrate that Saussure's specific theory is actually linked to his practical knowledge regarding the teaching of translation and of the Sanskrit language.

*Elementos del erotismo en varios cuentos de Andrés Caicedo
Authors: Carvajal Edwin Alberto 
Published: June 2023

In his collection of short stories entitled Calilabazo, Colombian writerAndrés Caicedo presents love and eroticism as feelings which find almost no way to reveal themselves other than physically. Thus it is through their gaze, their voice and their body that the main characters and the narrator convey their thoughts and actions. And out of these it is the the body which is the prime scenario of the main characters'eroticism, violence, perversion and the fight for survival, be they transgressors or victims.

Teacher Development Groups: Growth Through Cooperation
Authors: Oliphant Katrina 
Published: June 2023

As a student working towards a Master's Degree in ESL, I often ponder the career choices that will be available to me upon completion of the program. Having made the commitment to professional development implicit in my decision to return to university, I hope to find a postion in an EFL setting that will nurture my desire for continued growth as a teacher. But how realistic is that prospect? My experience has shown me that many of the private language schools abroad are indifferent to teacher development; in fact, they often hire teachers with no qualifications. Profit, rather than the quality of teaching guides their decision-making. As long as their students continue to accept unqualified (and thus low-paid) teachers, they will have no motivation to hire professionals who will demand higher salaries. Even many of the more serious teaching institutions provide little or no in-service training How to reference this article: Oliphant, K. (1997).

A new look at suprasegmentals
Authors: Frodden Cristina , McNulty Maria 
Published: June 2023

The communicative method has been criticized because in stressing the negotiation of meaning and the speakers intentions, accuracy has become a minor goal. Accuracy implies attention to form, for example, correct grammar and correct style, vocabulary and pronunciation It is true that we can communicate even though we make these kinds of errors, however, too many mistakes may hinder comprehension. Good pronunciation should be a goal in any course that attempts at communicating effectively. Kenworthy is right when she states that "a person may eventually understand what someone has said, but if this has involved too much frustration and irritation resulting from constant repetitions, rephrasings, or checks on what has been said (i.e. too much pain') then the communication cannot be described as efficient" (1992,16).

El descentramiento de las identidades y el otro diferente: reflexiones postmodernas sobre la traducción inevitable
Authors: Ribeiro Emilio Soares , Amorim Lauro Maia 
Published: June 2023

En la tradición moderna, el polo hegemónico establece un patrón normal, dicta un modo jerárquico. Como parte de este grupo privilegiado, el texto supuestamente “original” y su autor reciben un valor positivo, mientras que la traducción, el otro diferente, permanece en su cualidad de transparente. Las reflexiones posmodernas sobre las representaciones del otro en el texto traducido influenciaron movimientos que iban en contra de esta forma de imposición de patrones. En este trabajo, destacamos las obras de Derrida (1971, 1973 y 1978) en la ausencia de un significado trascendental; la discusión de Berman (2012) acerca de la relación entre identidad y traducción y la propuesta traductiva queer de Von Flotow (2013), con su poder performativo puede actuar en nombre del movimiento feminista. Al relacionar y contrastar puntos de vista, este artículo considera la diferencia como un aspecto inherente de la traducción. Adicionalmente habla del poder ideológico que ejerce la actividad traductiva en la construcción de identidades y la consolidación de diferencias en la reflexión posmoderna. Además, el artículo analiza la propuesta de la doble traducción al portugués hecha por Maurício Mendonça Cardozo de la novela alemana Der Shimmelreiter (1888) de Theodor Storm, y la forma en la que ésta dialoga con el tema de la identidad de la traducción y su relación con la diferencia.
