“Cómo involucrar al alumnado en clase de ELE”
Uno de los grandes retos a los que el profesorado de español como lengua extranjera (ELE) se enfrenta cotidianamente en sus clases es al hecho de que los estudiantes utilicen la lengua extranjera de manera continua dentro del aula. A nivel emocional, la ansiedad y la tolerancia a la ambigüedad son elementos comunes en contextos de enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras y han sido exhaustivamente investigados (Arnold, 2000 ; Arnold & Fonseca, 2007, Dörnyei, Alaistair y Muir, 2016). En este taller vamos a presentar una serie de consideraciones relacionadas con la dimensión afectiva del aprendizaje que, como profesorado, debemos de tener en cuenta cuando estamos desarrollando actividades comunicativas en el aula. A la vez se desarrollarán propuestas de tareas donde el alumnado se sienta involucrado y, por tanto, actúe como agente de su propio proceso de aprendizaje de ELE.
