- PublicationOpen AccessActualización docente y estandarización de los procesos de evaluación por medio de la autoformación, la práctica reflexiva y buenas prácticas en la EOI de Murcia(Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia, Consejería de Educación y Cultura, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) González Franco, Alicia; Fernández Torres, AnaEl presente artículo describe una experiencia de buenas prácticas llevada a cabo en la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas (EOI) de Murcia. El objetivo del proyecto sobre el que versa este artículo consiste en partir de la práctica reflexiva por parte de un grupo de profesores del centro para revisar y actualizar las prácticas docentes y evaluativas a raíz de un cambio de normativa, y así conseguir la estandarización de los procesos que intervienen en la evaluación. Fruto de este trabajo que tuvo lugar durante el curso escolar 2018-2019, se crearon una serie de materiales que sentaron la base para, en una segunda fase, trabajar buenas prácticas en estandarización con todo el profesorado. Partimos de un plan de autoformación que empezaba con el análisis y reflexión del nuevo marco normativo en el que se sustenta la enseñanza y evaluación en la EOI, con recientes cambios significativos, y lo combinamos con la experiencia del profesorado y el aprendizaje colaborativo en una comunidad de aprendizaje interdepartamental. Finalizada la experiencia, podemos afirmar que tanto el modelo de trabajo como la metodología implementada, basada en la práctica reflexiva, han contribuido a desarrollar buenas prácticas innovadoras, conseguir los objetivos propuestos e involucrar a todo el claustro
- PublicationRestrictedCommunities of practice, proto-standardisation and spelling focusing in the Stonor letters(Walter de Gruyter, 2020-09-07) Conde Silvestre, Juan Camilo; Filología Inglesa; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de LetrasThe analytical construct known as community of practice—a group of people linked by the pursuit of a joint enterprise and sharing a repertoire of resources with this purpose—is extensively used in present-day sociolinguistic research on the diffusion of variation in connection with identity and social meaning construction and as part of a common, locally-constructed style. Communities of practice are also crucial in the diffusion of standard or non-standard practices and I believe that this tenet—which certainly holds for the present—could also be extended to the past, adding a new dimension to the historical study of standardisation. In this paper, I intend to reconstruct one fifteenth-century community of practice on the evidence afforded by the late Middle English collection of correspondence known as the Stonor letters. I will analyse the linguistic resources that members of this community of practice shared and I will particularly study spelling focusing as shown in reduced frequencies of spelling variants in their letters when compared to orthography in the letters issued by non-members. I believe that this perspective can help understand historical proto-standardisation in a new light, associating it to processes of identity construction.
- PublicationOpen AccessEarly Modern Medicine in Manuscript and Print: A Triangulation Approach to Analysing Spelling Standardisation(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Tyrkkö, JukkaThe standardisation process of English spelling largely came to its conclusion during the Early Modern period. While the progress of standardisation has been studied in both printed and manuscript texts, few studies have looked at these processes side by side, especially focusing on the same genre of writing and by using corpora that are sufficiently large for quantitative comparison. Using two Early Modern medical corpora, one based on manuscripts and the other on printed sources, this paper compares the trajectories of spelling standardisation in the two textual domains and shows that while spelling standardisation progressed in an almost linear fashion in printed texts, the manuscripts reveal a much more varied and shallow cline toward standardisation.
- PublicationOpen AccessEvaluación externa en la LOMCE. Reválidas, exclusión y competitividad(Universidad de Zaragoza, Asociación Universitaria de Formación del Profesorado (AUFOP), 2014) Pérez Gómez, Ángel I.La evaluación de las competencias o cualidades humanas que cada aprendiz ha de desarrollar de manera singular para afrontar la complejidad de la era digital contemporánea es incompatible con las reválidas, test y pruebas externas estandarizadas, iguales para todos. Las cualidades más importantes del aprendizaje en la era digital —autodirección, iniciativa, creatividad, pensamiento crítico, solución de problemas y autoevaluación— son difícilmente evaluables mediante instrumentos baratos y masivos «de papel y lápiz», como los test estandarizados o las reválidas externas; requieren, por el contrario, herramientas y procesos más complejos, plurales y flexibles como la observación continua de los equipos docentes sobre el quehacer y los procesos y productos de los aprendices (Soto Gómez, 2014). La LOMCE,1 fiel exponente de la pedagogía conservadora del movimiento GERM,2 recupera las reválidas, pues apuesta por la estandarización de aprendizajes superficiales en lugar de potenciar el desarrollo singular de cada aprendiz hasta el máximo de sus posibilidades.
- PublicationOpen AccessMorphological Spelling: Present-tense Verb Inflection in the Early Editions of The Book of Good Maners(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Rutkowska, HannaThis study aims at contributing to the discussion on the role of the early printers in the regularisation and standardisation of the English spelling. It assesses the degree of early printers’ (in)consistency concerning morphological spelling, in particular the spelling of third person singular present tense (indicative) inflectional endings of verbs in six editions of The book of good maners (1487–1526), printed by William Caxton, Richard Pynson and Wynkyn de Worde. The analysis suggests that early printers could have been interested in regularising spelling already before normative guidance from scholars became available in the form of grammars and spelling books, that is before the middle of the sixteenth century. However, the levels of the printers’ spelling consistency varied, depending on the particular printing house and edition.
- PublicationOpen AccessSuffixes in Competition:On the Use of -ourand -orin Early Modern English(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Pacheco-Franco, Marta; Calle-Martín, JavierThis paper presents a corpus-driven analysis of the linguistic competition between the suffixes -our/-or in Early Modern English. It is conceived as a state of the art to provide an explanation of the development and distribution of these competing suffixes in Early Modern English. The study is based on the distribution of the most common set of words with alternative spellings in the period to investigate the development and the standardisation of the -our and -or groups. The study offers the quantitative distribution of the suffixes in the period corroborating the participation of phenomena such as linguistic extinction, specialisation, blocking and lexicalisation in the configuration of the contemporary morphological paradigm. The source of evidence comes from the corpus of Early English Books Online (Davies, 2017) for the period 1470–1690. In addition to this, the study also relies on sources such as the Evans Corpus (2011), the Corpus of Historical American English (Davies, 2010) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies, 2008).
- PublicationOpen AccessTransparently Hierarchical: Punctuation in the Townshend Family Recipe Book(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Thaisen, JacobThe three scribes of a mid-seventeenth-century collection of medical recipes resemble each other in how they have punctuated the recipes, although they did not work simultaneously. They draw on similar repertoires of marks and they mark similar functions, but they do not use the same marks for the same functions. The principal function is the global one of indicating where the constitutive elements of the recipes begin and end. This function of indicating a text’s structural hierarchy goes back centuries and can seem old-fashioned for an Early Modern English manuscript produced when grammarians had started to discuss whether punctuation should mark syntactic units. A key observation is that recipes stand out among text-types by having a fixed, transparently hierarchical structure. This feature of them facilitates the researcher’s appreciation of how the punctuation functions and dismisses any impression of the scribes having deployed the marks haphazardly.
