Este es un proceso en el que sigo 15 a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde (y tambi\u00e9n en ingl\u00e9s, mi lengua materna) como un continuo aprendizaje del idioma al cual estoy expuesto a trav\u00e9s de escuchar, leer y en general interactuando con el mundo que me rodea.<\/p>\n<p>Sin embargo, aprender un idioma mientras vives en un pa\u00eds donde ese idioma no se habla habitualmente es una historia diferente. Si aprendemos\u00a0 ingl\u00e9s en Espa\u00f1a, es mucho m\u00e1s duro duplicar la experiencia de aprendizaje y usar la exposici\u00f3n diaria al idioma como una memoria a corto plazo, tambi\u00e9n como filtro para entender el idioma que realmente necesitas.<\/p>\n<p>Es bastante posible que, como estudiante de ingl\u00e9s, tengas pocas horas de clase a la semana, que complementas a trav\u00e9s de deberes, repasando apuntes y buscando cualquier oportunidad para conectar con el idioma en tu tiempo libre (TV, prensa, etc.). La tecnolog\u00eda nos permite tener muchas m\u00e1s posibilidades para hacerlo ahora que hace 10 a\u00f1os, pero obviamente no podemos conseguir el mismo nivel de exposici\u00f3n que podemos conseguir viviendo en un pa\u00eds donde el ingl\u00e9s es dominante. En este caso la carga est\u00e1 en tu memoria a corto plazo para hacer el trabajo que esa exposici\u00f3n no puede hacer.<\/p>\n<p>Para ayudar a contextualizar el desaf\u00edo que esto nos presenta, echa un vistazo al siguiente gr\u00e1fico el cual muestra la curva del olvido que cre\u00f3 el psic\u00f3logo alem\u00e1n Hermann Ebbinghaus (1885):<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3353 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-1-300x186.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-1-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-1.png 668w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Si por ejemplo nosotros descubrimos 10 palabras nuevas en clase, probablemente olvidaremos 5 palabras antes de llegar a casa y otras 3 palabras antes de irnos a la cama. \u00a1Esto es algo serio!<\/p>\n<p>Sin embargo, \u00a1las buenas noticias es que Ebbinghaus tambi\u00e9n confirma los resultados de la repetici\u00f3n! Mira el gr\u00e1fico de abajo:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3354 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-2-300x208.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-2-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-2.png 425w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Por eso en este caso, si nosotros aprendemos 10 palabras y las repetimos 5 veces, es probable que transfiramos 9 de esas palabras a nuestra memoria a largo plazo y las aprendamos. Sin embargo, es vital recordar que para aprender datos o palabras de esta forma, necesitamos usar repetici\u00f3n espaciada. Es decir, no repitas una palabra cinco veces seguidas, o incluso en el mismo d\u00eda. La palabra necesita ser revisada en intervalos de tiempo espaciados para tener un aprendizaje exitoso.<\/p>\n<p>Por eso, \u00bfCu\u00e1l es la mejor forma para conseguir esta repetici\u00f3n que necesitamos para reemplazar la experiencia de estar rodeado de nuestro idioma objetivo?<\/p>\n<p>Propongo un b\u00e1sico proceso de tres etapas el cual empieza con la introducci\u00f3n de un nuevo idioma en clase o en otros sitios y mu\u00e9velo a:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Cuadernos<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Cuando descubres un nuevo idioma (palabras, frases, etc.), en clase o fuera, necesitas plasmarlo en tus cuadernos. Lo primero que debes pensar es como organizar este idioma en el cuaderno. Varias personas prefieren organizar el nuevo idioma por temas, pero esto puede llegar a ser un problema en niveles m\u00e1s altos donde las palabras son m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles de clasificar por categor\u00edas. En nuestra opini\u00f3n, la forma m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil es llevar el estilo de un diario con el idioma organizado inicialmente por fecha. Como segunda parte, es buena idea filtrar esta informaci\u00f3n a listas de categor\u00edas con \u00e1reas de especial inter\u00e9s para ti. Por ejemplo, frases funcionales (Come to think of it&#8230;, where was I&#8230;?) o palabras con pronunciaci\u00f3n dif\u00edcil.<\/p>\n<p>El segundo factor importante es c\u00f3mo clasificar el lenguaje nuevo. Aqu\u00ed est\u00e1n varios elementos posibles para incluir:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clase de palabras (Verbos, nombres,..)<\/li>\n<li>Definiciones<\/li>\n<li>Una frase de ejemplo con la palabra en el contexto.<\/li>\n<li>Registro (Formalidad)<\/li>\n<li>Pronunciaci\u00f3n (Quiz\u00e1s usando el IPA \u2013 International Phonetic Alphabet)<\/li>\n<li>Sin\u00f3nimos y ant\u00f3nimos<\/li>\n<li>Colocaciones<\/li>\n<li>Connotaciones<\/li>\n<li>Frecuencia de uso<\/li>\n<li>Im\u00e1genes\/ diagramas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Intenta usar ejemplos, im\u00e1genes, etc. los cuales act\u00faan como reglas nemot\u00e9cnicas, i.e algo que forma una asociaci\u00f3n en tu memoria. Por ejemplo:<\/p>\n<p>Lend (v) \u201cFriends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears\u201d (<em>Julius Caesar<\/em>, William Shakespeare)<\/p>\n<p>Courage (n)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/courage.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3352\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/courage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"151\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>La gran cosa sobre esto es que tenemos motores de b\u00fasqueda para configurar webs de asociaciones para nosotros. \u00a1Google es una imaginaci\u00f3n virtual que puede crear enlaces de memoria para nosotros! Prueba tu palabra entre comillas \u201c\u2026\u201d en un buscador web con \u201ccitas\u201d, \u201ct\u00edtulos de canciones\u201d, \u201crefranes\u201d o busca im\u00e1genes. Puedes imprimir y pegar una imagen o dibujarla.<\/p>\n<p>Los cuadernos son una ayuda para la memoria, pero tambi\u00e9n son un lugar para a\u00f1adir detalles y dar contexto a las frases o palabras, las palabras no deber\u00edan estar aisladas. Una vez que hayas comenzado tu cuaderno deber\u00eda llegar a ser tu referencia constante y compa\u00f1ero en tu aprendizaje. Si t\u00fa no revisas tus notas peri\u00f3dicamente, \u00a1no te ser\u00e1n de mucha utilidad!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Flashcard Apps<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Los cuadernos son una forma esencial para ayudar a reemplazar la necesidad a ser expuesto a un idioma para aprenderlo, \u00bfpero podemos hacer m\u00e1s? \u00bfC\u00f3mo podemos introducir m\u00e1s \u201crepeticiones espaciadas\u201d para ayudar a mover el idioma a nuestra memoria a largo plazo de una forma correcta e interactiva?

Sin embargo, cuando aprendes un idioma en un medio donde otro idioma es el dominante (tal como aprender ingl\u00e9s en Espa\u00f1a) tenemos que aprovechar oportunidades para compensar la ausencia relativa del idioma que estamos aprendiendo. Coger apuntes buenos es la t\u00e9cnica m\u00e1s vieja, pero es vital en t\u00e9rminos\u00a0 tanto de \u201crecordar\u201d como de comprender. Lo que puede ser nuevo para ti es la idea de flashcards electr\u00f3nicos. La tecnolog\u00eda nos da la posibilidad de seguir estudiando durante pausas que tengamos en nuestro d\u00eda. De esta forma podemos estudiar durante dos minutos mientras esperamos el autob\u00fas o mientras preparamos caf\u00e9 \u00a1y esto marcara la diferencia!

Language learning and memory \u2013 a practical proposal for language learners<\/h2>\n<p>When I started learning Spanish while living in Spain you could argue that I didn\u2019t need a short-term memory; that the world around me <em>was<\/em> my short-term memory.\u00a0 Basic \u2018high-frequency\u2019 words were repeated at me every day, or many times a day, while less usual low-frequency words were still coming at me but only once a week, or a month, or a year, until they found their way into my long-term memory and became \u2018learned\u2019.\u00a0 This is a process that is still going on 15 years later (and also in English, my first language) as I continue to accumulate language which I am exposed to through listening, reading and generally interacting with the world around me.<\/p>\n<p>However, learning a language while living in a country where that language is not commonly spoken is a different story.\u00a0 Learning English in Spain, it\u2019s much harder to duplicate my learning experience and use day-to-day exposure to the language as a short-term memory, as well as a filter to understand the language you really need.<\/p>\n<p>It is quite possible that, as a learner of English, you only have a few hours of class, or less, a week, which you supplement through doing homework, revising notes and looking for any opportunity to connect with the language in your free time (TV, press, etc.).\u00a0 Technology allows us many more possibilities to do this now than 10 years ago, but obviously we cannot achieve the same level of exposure as we can living in a country where English is dominant.\u00a0 In this case the burden is on your short-term memory to do the work that exposure cannot.<\/p>\n<p>To help put into context the challenge this presents us with, take a look at the following graph which demonstrates the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus\u2019s curve of forgetting from 1885:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3353 aligncenter\"

words in a class, we will have forgotten 5 probably before we get home and another 3 before we go to bed.\u00a0 A sobering thought!<\/p>\n<p>However, the good news is that Ebbinghaus also confirms that repetition works!\u00a0 Look at the graph below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3354\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ebbinghaus-2-300x208.png\" alt=\"\"

learn 10 words and repeat them 5 times, we are likely to transfer 9 of them to our long-term memory and \u2018learn\u2019 them.\u00a0 However, it is vital to remember that to learn data in this way we need to use \u2018spaced repetition\u2019.\u00a0 This is to say, it is no use repeating a word five times in a row, or even in the same day.\u00a0 The word needs to be revisited at spaced intervals to allow successful learning.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is the best way to achieve this repetition that we need to replace the experience of being surrounded by our target language?<\/p>\n<p>I propose a simple, three-stage process which begins with the introduction of new language in class or elsewhere and moves on to:<\/p>\n<p><u>Notebooks<\/u><\/p>\n<p>When you encounter new language (words, phrases, etc.), in class or out, you need to record it in your notebooks.\u00a0 The first thing to think about is how to arrange this language in the notebook.\u00a0 Some people prefer to arrange new language by topic area, but this can become a problem at higher levels where words are harder to categorise.\u00a0 In our opinion, the easiest way is in the style of a diary with language initially arranged by date.\u00a0 As a second phase, it is often a good idea to filter this information into additional category lists which represent areas of particular interest to you.\u00a0 For example, functional phrases (\u2018come to think of it\u2019, \u2018where was I..?\u2019) or words with difficult pronunciation.<\/p>\n<p>The second important factor is how to record the new language.\u00a0 Here are some possible elements to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Word class (verb, noun, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Definition<\/li>\n<li>An example sentence with the word in context<\/li>\n<li>Register (formality)<\/li>\n<li>Pronunciation (perhaps using the IPA)<\/li>\n<li>Synonyms and antonyms<\/li>\n<li>Collocations<\/li>\n<li>Connotations<\/li>\n<li>Frequency of use<\/li>\n<li>Pictures \/ diagrams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Try to use examples, pictures etc. which act as a mnemonic, i.e. something which forms an association in your memory.\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\n<p><em>Lend (v.)<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Friends, Romans, countrymen, <strong>lend<\/strong> me your ears\u2019 (<em>Julius Caesar, <\/em>William Shakespeare)<\/p>\n<p><em>Courage (n.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a

src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/courage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"101\" height=\"153\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The great thing about this is that we now have search engines to set up webs of associations for us.\u00a0 Google is a virtual imagination which can create memory links for us! Try your word in quotation marks \u201c\u2026\u201d in a web search with \u2018quotes\u2019, song titles\u2019, \u2018sayings\u2019 or look at images.\u00a0 You can print and paste an image or copy it as a sketch.<\/p>\n<p>Notebooks are an <em>aide memoire<\/em>, but they are also a place to add detail and context, so that the individual language items do not exist in isolation.\u00a0 Once you have begun your notebook then it must become your constant reference and companion in your learning.\u00a0 If you do not periodically revise your notes, then they are not of much use at all!<\/p>\n<p><u>Flashcard Apps <\/u><\/p>\n<p>Notebooks are an essential way to help replace the need to be exposed to language in order to learn it, but can we do more?\u00a0 How can we introduce more \u2018spaced repetition\u2019 to help move language into our long-term memory in a convenient and interactive way?\u00a0 The answer is with online flashcards.<\/p>\n<p>Our recommendation is the tool Anki:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.ankiweb.net\/\">https:\/\/apps.ankiweb.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are other flashcard options, such as Quizlet, but we like the easy-to-use functionality of Anki.<\/p>\n<p>Once you download the tool to your desktop you can start creating \u2018decks\u2019 of flashcards, adding in the vocabulary and language that you need to practice.\u00a0 Then you can open an account and synchronise to a mobile app on your phone or other device, so you can practice anywhere and at any time!<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the screenshots below it works like a physical flashcard with a front and a back.\u00a0 You can use text or images to communicate the meaning of the target language in the way you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, in the second screenshot you can see three buttons which give the chance to indicate how easily you remember the language.\u00a0 This will then regulate how frequently that item will be repeated, creating an intelligent system which will help make the most of your time.<\/p>\n<p>You also have the possibility to share decks of cards with other people.<\/p>\n<p><a

However, when learning language in an environment where another language is dominant (such as learning English in Spain) we have to take advantage of opportunities to compensate for the relative absence of the language we are learning in our daily lives.\u00a0 Taking good notes is the oldest technique in the book, but it is vital in terms of \u2018remembering\u2019 as well as understanding.\u00a0 What may be new to you is the idea of electronic flashcards.\u00a0 Technology affords us the possibility of fitting study into the gaps and pauses of our lives.\u00a0 In this way we can study for two minutes when we are waiting for the bus or for the machine to produce our coffee and it will make a difference!\u00a0\u00a0 This kind of technology can help to transform your learning experience in a motivating, even addictive way.\u00a0 Learning is about looking for opportunities.\u00a0 For language learning we have never had so many options, so make sure you are using them to give yourself a clear advantage!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cuando empec\u00e9 a aprender espa\u00f1ol mientras viv\u00eda en Espa\u00f1a podr\u00edas
