Corpus oral para el estudio de la adquisición y aprendizaje del componente fónico del español como lengua extranjera

Abstract

The lack of attention to the phonics component in teaching Spanish as a foreign language decisively impacts the communicative competence of students, in terms of oral expression, comprehension and interactive skills and other related sub-competence (linguistic, pragmatic and sociolinguistic). With regard to students, both anxiety and lack of confidence in their ability to pronounce also cloud their process of learning. This situation, therefore, requires compiling oral materials and analysis tools aimed at improving studies on the acquisition and learning of the phonics component. The results obtained from these studies can be used to improve teaching, develop training materials, program and design curriculums, and train teachers. These are the objectives of the AACFELE corpus. Throughout, the purpose of this article is to present the design, characteristics and methodology of the AACFELE corpus.
