Publication Open Access Are EFL writers motivated or demotivated by model texts and task repetition? Evidence from young collaborative writers(Universidad de Murcia, 2021) Lázaro Ibarrola, Amparo; Villarreal Olaizola, Izaskun; Institute for Advanced Social Research - ICOMMUNITAS; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, CENEDUCA18Studies on multi-stage writing tasks with adults and children have shown that model texts and task repetition aid language acquisition, especially when learners work in collaboration. However, these studies have not included measures of task motivation, which is vital in young learners (YLs) and could help develop a more comprehensive understanding of task effectiveness. The present study analyses task motivation in 24 EFL YLs writing in pairs during three sessions divided into a model group (MG) and a task repetition group (TRG). Results show that students’ task motivation is high in general but declines in the MG while it is maintained in the TRG. As for the motives, working together is the main reason students give to justify their positive scores. These results complete previous knowledge about models and TR, reinforce the value of collaborative writing and encourage the inclusion of motivation measures in task-based research.Publication Open Access Activation activities as a catalyst for increased rates of vocabulary and grammar learning(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2017) Villarreal Olaizola, Izaskun; Ardaiz Mañeru, Iranzu; Filología y Didáctica de la Lengua; Filologia eta Hizkuntzaren DidaktikaLa activación o acceso a conocimientos previos parece esencial para promover un aprendizaje significativo. Este estudio analiza los efectos de la activación de conocimientos previos en vocabulario y gramática en hablantes de ILE de secundaria. Con un diseño pre-post-prueba, se comparó el desempeño de un grupo experimental que había trabajado con actividades de activación del vocabulario y la gramática durante 10 sesiones con un grupo de control paralelo. Los datos analizados se obtuvieron de: (1) una pre y post-prueba de vocabulario y gramática; (2) un pre-post-examen de la unidad del libro de texto; (3) un cuestionario de satisfacción post tratamiento. Los análisis confirmaron los beneficios de la activación puesto que el alumnado experimental produjo más ítems léxicos y obtuvo mejor puntuación en todas las pruebas. Asimismo, los resultados de los ejercicios gramaticales sugieren beneficios para el aprendizaje gramatical. Además, el grupo experimental mostró una actitud positiva y expresaron sus deseos de continuar con las actividades.Publication Open Access Are EFL writers motivated or demotivated by model texts and task repetition?
