en 49 narraciones ––algunas cuentos, otras ejercicios de memoria, algunas más observaciones sobre lo que no se entiende del mundo, pero debería entenderse—. Esta colección es un fichero de historias, a menudo hilarantes y siempre agudas, en las que una mente curiosa y elegante medita sobre lo chico en lo grande, sobre lo que solo se puede encontrar entrelíneas, sobre lo que da claridad entre la opacidad de lo grandilocuente. Si leer ficción es siempre una necesidad crítica ––leyendo aprendemos maneras nuevas de pensar–– y una empresa estética ––ciertas escrituras nos dan placer––, en Caleidoscopio de Carmen Benito-Vessels el placer critico viene de la posibilidad de ver al mundo desde un lugar que hace brillar lo que muestra.</p><p>Grupo Editorial Círculo Rojo SL (December 30, 2024)</p><div data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="55c512a3-be93-47f1-83ab-e95bbe6a0f14" data-embed-button="media_library_embed" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.medium_640px_w" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium_640px_w/public/2025-03/71nko0ykurl._sy522_.jpg?itok=qulRcjN5" width="373" height="522" alt="Caleidoscopio"> </div> </div> </div>  </div> </section> <section class="silc-accordion__section"> <div class="silc-accordion__header"> <h2 class="silc-accordion__label "> De-targeting the Target in Phoneme Detection: Aiming the Task at Phonological Representations Rather Than Backgrounds </h2> <h3 class="header__h5">This study centers some important methodological challenges faced in L2+ laboratory phonology and proposes a task innovation to tackle important questions about mental representations and acquisition.</h3> <p class="contact--feed__unit hide-if-no-children"> <span class="unit"> School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures </span> </p> </div> <div class="silc-accordion__content inner-field-wrap"> <div class="silc-accordion__content--leading"> <span class="caption bolded">Dates:</span> <span class="caption inline-block--caption"> <time datetime="2025-02-17T12:00:00Z">Mon, 02/17/2025 - 12:00</time> </span> <br> </div> <div class="silc-accordion__callout"> <div class="silc-accordion__floating-content"> <p>One challenge of learning a second or additional language (L2C) is learning to perceive and interpret its sounds. This includes acquiring the target language (TL) contrastive phonemic inventory, the sounds’ systematic behavior<br>in the TL phonology, and novel relationships between spelling and sound (GPCs; grapheme-phoneme correspondences). Many perception tasks require  stipulation of written labels for target speech sounds (e.g., phoneme detection). Listening for this target is not necessarily, or even frequently, an equivalent cognitive task between participant groups. The incongruence of phonological and orthographic domains and their GPCs poses a methodological challenge for L2C research. The author argues that phoneme detection tasks should avoid the phone of investigative interest (x) as the direct target of listener attention and redirect focus to an adjacent listening target (y). Ideally, this target should not trigger or otherwise be implicated in the phonological process or phonotactic<br>constraint under investigation. The careful choice of listening target (y) with both a familiar sound and a congruent orthographic label for both (or all) language groups of the experiment yields an equivalent task and better indicates implicit knowledge of the phenomenon under study. This approach opens up potential choices of phonological objects of interest (x). The two phoneme detection experiments reported here employ this novel adjacent-congruent listening target approach, which the author calls the Persean approach. Experiment 1 establishes baseline performance in two assimilation types and replicates processing inhibition in first-language (L1) German speakers in response to violations of regressive nasal assimilation. It also uses [t] as the Persean listening target to test sensitivity to preceding violations of progressive dorsal fricative assimilation (DFA). Experiment 2 investigates sensitivity to violations of DFA in both L1 German speakers and L1 English L2C German learners. Experiment 2 also uses the Persean method for the first phoneme detection investigation demonstrating sensitivity to violation of a prosodic/phonotactic constraint banning /h/ in syllable codas. The study demonstrates that phoneme detection with Persean listening targets is a viable instrument for investigating regressive and progressive assimilation, prosodic/phonotactic constraints, and prelexical perceptual repair strategies in different language background groups and proposes statistical best practices for future phoneme detection research.</p> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/language-sciences/articles/10.3389/flang.2024.1254956/full" target="_blank" class="button">Read More<span class="visible-for-screen-readers"> about De-targeting the Target in Phoneme Detection: Aiming the Task at Phonological Representations Rather Than Backgrounds</span></a></p>  </div> </section> <section class="silc-accordion__section"> <div class="silc-accordion__header"> <h2 class="silc-accordion__label "> The Missing Link.

But for alphabetically literate, reading adult learners of a second or subsequent language (L2+) in instructed foreign language (FL) settings, phonological representations typically entail both speech sound categories and orthographic labels, domains connected by grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) on a language-specific basis. A long tradition of auditory phonetic training research demonstrates benefits for aural perception of novel L2+ contrasts, but such training studies focus almost exclusively on gains in L2+ aural perception and articulatory production rather than connection to the orthographic domain. Our study investigates how phonetic training impacts the phonological and orthographic domains, including category perception and target-language (TL) GPCs, across the crucial differences between first language (L1) categories vs. L2+ categories and between naïve pre-learners in cross-language speech perception vs. L2+ learners in L2+ speech perception at early stages of exposure. The paper reports preliminary results on one novel vowel condition (represented by German Ü) and one novel consonant condition (represented by German CH). The L2+ Sound Learning Lab, led by Dr. John H.G. Scott (principal investigator) presented these findings at the 2023 Boston University Conference on Language Development.

In terms of plot, the film is unusual in how it humanizes collaboration with the enemy, an act usually befitting only villainous characters in Soviet cinema. The film as a whole, and the first half in particular, emphasizes what Lucía Nagib calls the “realist mode of production”—in particular, through on-location shooting in which the actors endured conditions similar to those experienced by their onscreen characters. The “documentary” approach to the production of a historical film serves to recuperate a sense of contingency, in opposition to the teleological developmental narrative of Soviet History, a gesture that fits into the post-war, post-Stalin-era Soviet “counter-cinema” attempt to break with the entrenched norms of socialist realism. I argue that in rejecting the psychological development of the two main characters and in focusing, particularly in the first half of the film, on the materiality of experience under the extreme conditions of the war, the film exceeds the boundaries of its ostensible central ideological conflict and its engagement with the Soviet mythology of the Second World War. Rather, the film poses broader, universal questions of moral life under extreme circumstances, and provides the audience with the conditions for engaging those questions through their own experiences—and their experience of the film. </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-refocus-the-films-of-larisa-shepitko.html" target="_blank" class="button">Read More<span class="visible-for-screen-readers"> about The Senselessness of the Heroic Act and the Experience of War in The Ascent</span></a></p>  </div> </section> <section class="silc-accordion__section"> <div class="silc-accordion__header"> <h2 class="silc-accordion__label "> The Routledge Handbook of Multiliteracies for Spanish Language Teaching multimodalidad e interdisciplinariedad </h2> <h3 class="header__h5">The first volume to connect the multiple disciplinary perspectives that contribute to a pedagogy for multiliteracies and to bring together renowned and young scholars to offer the most recent research and a multifaceted view of this field.</h3> <p class="contact--feed__unit hide-if-no-children"> <span class="unit"> School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures </span> </p> </div> <div class="silc-accordion__content inner-field-wrap"> <div class="silc-accordion__content--leading"> <span class="caption bolded">Dates:</span> <span class="caption inline-block--caption"> <time datetime="2024-09-23T12:00:00Z">Mon, 09/23/2024 - 12:00</time> </span> <br> </div> <div class="silc-accordion__callout"> <div class="silc-accordion__floating-content"> <p>The Routledge Handbook of Multiliteracies for Spanish Language Teaching: Multimodalidad e Interdisciplinariedad provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the main theoretical, curricular and pedagogical foundations for implementing and researching a pedagogy for multiliteracies in Spanish Language Teaching.</p> <p>The volume is specifically designed to meet the needs of scholars, teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students who wish to develop their knowledge about the latest research and new trends in the field of multiliteracy applied to Spanish Language Teaching from an international perspective.</p> <div data-embed-button="media_library_embed" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.medium_640px_w" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="5899e8df-f978-44a0-bd86-d0c3d2037e12" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium_640px_w/public/2024-09/the-routledge-handbook-of-multiliteracies-for-spanish-language-teaching-multimodalidad-e-interdisciplinariedad.jpg?itok=_XnWfpLy" width="415" height="630" alt="The Routledge Handbook of Multiliteracies for Spanish Language Teaching multimodalidad e interdisciplinariedad"> </div> </div> </div>  </div> </section> <section class="silc-accordion__section"> <div class="silc-accordion__header"> <h2 class="silc-accordion__label "> Hester Baer publishes new co-edited volume with Bloomsbury Publishing </h2> <h3 class="header__h5">Congratulations to Dr. Hester Baer on her new co-edited volume Babylon Berlin, German Visual Spectacle, and Global Media Culture (Bloomsbury 2024)</h3> <p class="contact--feed__unit hide-if-no-children"> <span class="unit"> German Studies </span> </p> <span class="caption bolded">Author/Lead: </span> <span class="caption inline-block--caption"> <a href="/directory/hester-baer" hreflang="en">Hester Baer</a> </span> <br> </div> <div class="silc-accordion__content inner-field-wrap"> <div class="silc-accordion__content--leading"> <span class="caption bolded">Dates:</span> <span class="caption inline-block--caption"> <time datetime="2024-09-17T12:00:00Z">Tue, 09/17/2024 - 12:00</time> </span> <br> </div> <div class="silc-accordion__callout"> <div class="silc-accordion__image_full"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/headshot/public/2024-09/baer-book-news-micheline-wilson.png?itok=CmbeVNTB" width="200" height="303" alt="baer book" /> </div> <div class="silc-accordion__floating-content"> <p>The essays in this collection address the German television series Babylon Berlin and explore its unique contribution to contemporary visual culture.</p> <p>Since its inception in 2017, the series, a neo-noir thriller set in Berlin in the final years of the Weimar Republic, has reached audiences throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas and has been met with both critical and popular acclaim.
