Abstract:

This paper explores the importance of providing teacher training in the use of technology to reap the benefits of adding computers to the classroom. It describes how a basic software program was used to create an interactive program to teach phonics in Spanish to kindergarten students in a Structured English Immersion Program. A benefit to having good phonemic awareness skills in Spanish is that it will help the student in developing phonemic awareness skills in English and will facilitate learning to read English words.

Abstract:

Profound changes marked music in Spain towards the end of the nineteenth century. Casting aside Italian influences, which had governed many aspects of music in Spain up until then, Hispanic composers sought to redefine and regenerate the nation's musical identity. Taking as their model the so-called "Generation of '98," a literary movement that explored new ways of defining a "genuine" Spanishness, Spanish composers—chief among them Enrique Granados—took inspiration from pre-nineteenth-century musical figures, including, perhaps paradoxically, composers who came from outside

In order to serve Spanish-speaking English language learners (SSELLs) better, their teachers need to know which AWL words are cognates. Using published sources and linguistic analysis of the 570 items in the AWL, the research in this thesis has resulted in a newly reorg

Nonword repetition tasks were originally devised to assess the efficiency of the phonological loop (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974), a component of the working memory system, where verbal information is temporarily stored and translated to support activities like phonological processing during early word-recognition (Snowling, 1981; Wagner et al., 2003), speech production (McCarthy & Warrington, 1984), and articulation (Watkins, Dronkers, & Vargha-Khadem, 2002; Yoss & Darley, 1974).

In this field, researchers have investigated what makes learning the grammar of a second language difficult and they have identified many factors that may contribute to this difficulty, including agreement processing. In linguistic terms, agreement refers to the necessary covariation of grammatical features between two of more syntactic constituents. In prior years of agreement processing research, some authors examined how native speakers process varying grammatical features (e.g

Abstract:

The significant cultural impact of HIV/AIDS has led to the production of an impressive amount of scholarship in the US and Northern Europe since the outbreak of the epidemic in 1980. In contrast, the study of the cultural representations of HIV/AIDS has been largely overlooked in the realm of Spanish literary criticism. The purpose of my dissertation is to address that void through the analysis of a representative corpus of texts and artistic works from different periods and genres that acknowledge the impact of the epidemic in Spain. More particularly, this dissertation analyzes Spanish liter

Abstract:

In this study we investigated the role of semantic-processing on memory for Spanish-English bilinguals using the DRM paradigm (Deese, 1959; Roediger & McDermott, 1995), a procedure commonly used to elicit false memories. Participants were tested in within-language (i.e., encoding language and recall language match) and across-language (i.e., encoding language and recall language mismatch). The results indicated higher levels of recall for semantic processing in all conditions, however at the cost of higher thematically-related intrusions. These findings are consistent with the “more is less” p

Abstract:

The present thesis aims at identifying and contrasting metaphorical expressions and their underlying conceptual metaphors grounded in the COOKING domain in American English (AmE) and Peninsular Spanish (PenSp). To achieve this aim, this dissertation focuses on metaphors referred to by culinary actions in COCA and Corpus del Español: Web/Dialects. This investigation presents a refined version of MIP (Pragglejaz, 2007) that integrates frames (Fillmore, 1982) as a semantic tool for characterizing the basic and the contextual senses of words. This procedure allows for identifying the frame element

Few instruments include items appropriate to the needs of Spanish-speaking children with limited English Proficiency (LEP). Available Spanish language test are translations of English tools and have not been standardized among the Hispanic population. Classroom teachers and education specialists need an appropriately validated Spanish test for educational planning and programing of LEP Spanish-speaking children. Purpose. The p

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the ars poetica in the work of Eladia Blázquez (1936-2005), and to appreciate to what extent it converges or separates detaches itself from the traditional tango lyrics. Due to her numerous pieces, she is the first and only woman to write both music and lyrics consistently, while proposing a different viewpoint in tone and themes in order to update them to current times. Among them, the major are Buenos Aires, life and identity. The researcher proposes that Blázquez nourished herself on the classics, recreating them while offering new express

Abstract:

Spanish Indian is a generic term that has been used repeatedly in written documents over the past three centuries to describe a range of different social, ethnic, and economic groups in the southeastern United States. In this thesis, a comparative analysis of the material culture from Cuban fishing ranchos of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries on the west coast of Florida addresses the ways in which specific Spanish Indian artifact assemblages fit into the archaeological record. Three archaeological assemblages from known Rancho sites are detailed and analyzed. In addition, this thesis de
