2012 AATSP Conference — 3
It is a pleasure to welcome you and fellow members of The American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) to Puerto Rico, a unique destination within the Caribbean that offers guests an infinite variety of vacation experiences. Puerto Rico has something for everyone; from family outings to explore nature and adventure, to playing at championship golf courses, practicing water sports such as diving, deep sea fishing and surfing, and enjoying casinos, shopping and fine dining. San Juan is a historic landmark lined with white sand beaches and exciting nightlife that attract millions of visitors each year. However, just minutes away from the cosmopolitan center of Puerto Rico's capital city you will find amazing natural beauty and small rustic towns where you can enjoy other attractions that are part of our distinctive cultural heritage. Towards the east coast, El Yunque Rainforest, a UNESCO Biosphere, offers the opportunity to explore and learn about Puerto Rico's fauna and flora. You can travel to El Yunque in the morning and spend the afternoon relaxing and basking in the sun at the nearby Luquillo Beach. Just off shore from the coast lie the islands of Vieques and Culebra with their world famous beaches. The West, known as Porta del Sol, offers the perfect vacation to those who love water sports. The area is known for its surfing beaches and more than 16 diving sites, including underwater caves, black coral walls and reefs thriving with marine Iife. At Porta Atlántico, the island's north-central region, one can visit the largest single dish radio telescope where scientists explore the universe and even search for extraterrestrial life. Just a short drive away, one of the largest underwater river cave systems in the world can be found at the town of Camuy. Drive over the Central Mountain Range to Porta Caribe, and discover a different side of the island, including the city of Ponce with its beautiful Serrallés Castle, picturesque firehouse and extraordinary Ponce Museum of Art. Puerto Rico offers all you can expect from a world class travel destination and more. We hope you will enjoy your stay and discover the reason we say — Puerto Rico Does lt Better!

, , , , , , , , Bienvenidos / Bem-Vindos / Welcome to the 94th annual conference of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. San Juan, Puerto Rico has always been a popular and successful site for the AATSP conference and 2012 promises to continue that tradition. This year’s conference program is one of the largest in recent years and includes some 240 sessions, workshops, E-poster presentations, academic panels, and special events. Many conference sessions and events are tied to the conference theme: Exploring Heritage Languages and Cultures:Challenges and Opportunities. The opening plenary session offers a panel discussion on contemporary Puerto Rican theater by important actors, directors, and critics along with video clips of recent theatrical events. In a special session sponsored by Santillana USA, the noted Puerto Rican author Mayra Santos-Febres will read from her work and provide insights into her literary world. The well-known and admired presenter Laura Terrill will provide a keynote address and special sessions on using Puerto Rican culture to enhance communication and language skills. In addition to our regular conference sessions and workshops, we are again offering excursions on the second afternoon of the conference. These excursions to Viejo San Juan and El Yunque should provide you with cultural information that you will be able to use in the classroom. This year for the first time you can follow the conference on Twitter and Facebook where you will find conference updates and reminders and have the opportunity to chat with your fellow conference participants.

Using digital products and technologies in the world language classroom Presenter: Linda M. Crawford, Salve Regina University, Newport, RI Using discussion boards and other technologies in the study of literature. When my survey course on Spanish-American Literature exceeds ten students, it becomes easy for those who are afraid to speak the target language to hide or sit on the fence.

La música comprende, sin duda alguna, una herramienta y un vehículo a la hora de enfrentarse al aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. La música tiene la capacidad de transmitir y hacernos sentir sensaciones que van más allá del entendimiento del lenguaje hablado o escrito. Es por esto que también posee la capacidad de instaurar una curiosidad por saber más sobre una cultura y todo lo que ella representa.

Studies on semantic clustering and periphrastic causatives
Presenter: Gabriela Cecilia Zapata, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Semantic clustering and L2 vocabulary learning: A classroombased study in L2 Spanish classes. In instructed L2 acquisition, vocabulary is usually presented in semantically related sets associated with a topic or situation. Recent studies suggest that this method may hinder learning. However, this work depended on list learning, and did not account for context in L2 acquisition. This classroom-based study conducted at a Canadian university and involving 14 L2 Spanish classes and some 400 students used context in investigating semantic clustering and vocabulary teaching. Results and pedagogical recommendations are presented. Theme: Applied Linguistics/Second Language Acquisition Presenter: Mónica Cabrera, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA Periphrastic causatives in L2 Spanish: A production study. The present study explores the role of L1 transfer in the L2 developing system by looking at the production of periphrastic causatives (Roberto hizo romper el florero) of adult L1 English speakers learning L2 Spanish. The results of the guided written production task argue in favor of the view that different L1 properties are transferred at different stages: word order in early L2 acquisition, and semantic properties later on.

Carnival destruction in La renuncia del héroe Baltasar Presenter: Sara Smith, Colorado Mountain College, Glenwood Springs , CO In the historical novel La renuncia del héroe Baltazar, by the Puerto Rican author Rodríguez Juliá, carnival tactics both destroy the power of hegemonic discourse and allow for the creation of a new historical perspective of Puerto Rico’s colonial period. I will show how the novel undermines the myth of racial harmony during this period in order to better understand the complexity of the island’s present identity.

Claudia Piñeiro en su premiada novela Las viudas de los jueves muestra como impacta la crisis económica de 2001 a la clase media alta argentina. El espacio cerrado del barrio es una metáfora de la ciudad dual. Cerca del country «Los Altos de la Cascada» se encuentra la villa miseria «Santa María de los Tigrecitos». Estos dos mundos contrapuestos se mezclan porque el servicio doméstico y de vigilancia proviene de la villa, pero a la vez contrasta ferozmente.

The success of the program has gone beyond expectations. Not only are the students embracing their heritage, but we have found that it has provided an opportunity for parents of bilingual students to connect and has sparked interest in prospective parents with a bilingual background.

Pertinent facts about Puerto Rico, the tropical Hispanic island
Theological existentialism in San Manuel Bueno, mártir
Presenter: Edra P. Staffieri, Emerita, North Central High School, Indianapolis, IN
Presenter: Cathy A. Hollingsworth, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI
Puerto Rico does not receive adequate inclusion in current Spanish textbooks. This presentation will introduce a basic immersion in the culture, economy, government, physical geography, ethnic background of the people, the colorful history from the XV century to the present, the past and current relationship with the United States and Spain, and a few recipes. Teachers will learn how to integrate this information in teaching the basic language skills as well as interdisciplinary courses. Theme: Culture
In San Manuel Bueno, mártir, by Unamuno, allegorical Manuel portrays an archetypal existential form of abstract gestalt imagery rendering a puzzling El Greco mysticism and a mnemonic persistent Dalí dream in a theological vision of martyr, Good Saint Emmanuel. He is set in a curious fact-finding-exposé context of a rumored inquisition in an external process for his beatification unveiled in a memoir of the initial narrator, Ángela, by internal confession.

Presenter: Teonilda Madera, Board of Education, Bronx, NY, Bergen County La memoria como registro empírico, poético y fantástico en César Vallejo y en Blanca Varela. Este trabajo revela que los universos poéticos de estos escritores presentan conexiones rizómicas cuando abordan la memoria. Lo ideológico, lo metafísico y lo religioso se fusiona en los recuerdos de Vallejo. Blanca Varela, en cambio, usa la memoria como elemento enigmático para expresar una radical aversión religiosa.

La representación de la mujer en la historia latinoamericana Presenter: María Consuelo Guerrero, University of Texas Pan American, Edinburg, TX La mujer en la tercera etapa del cine de la Revolución Mexicana. Este estudio cuestiona al discurso colonial predominante en la Tercera Etapa del cine de la Revolución Mexicana, el cual no le hace justicia a la representación de la mujer revolucionaria mexicana. Se precisa analizar la conexión que el cine siempre ha tenido con los mitos, ya que estos son parte integral del discurso colonial que se cuestiona. Del mismo modo, siendo la crítica feminista parte natural e integral de un discurso postcolonial, se utiliza también como herramienta para explicar el por qué de dicha representación femenina en este género cinematográfico y medio de comunicación masivo. Theme: Film/Film Studies Presenter: Irma Navabi, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran La mujer en la conquista en La Malinche e Inés del alma mía. La Malinche de Laura Esquivel e Inés del alma mía de Isabel Allende tratan el tema de dos mujeres de la época de la conquista. La Malinche al igual que Inés Suárez, mujeres de habilidad femenina y espíritu masculino se enamoran de un conquistador ambicioso: la primera de Hernán Cortes y la segunda de Pedro de Valdivia.

Presenter: Teresa Graciela Campanaro, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Classroom interactions between heritage speakers and L2 learners of Spanish: Benefits and perceptions of collaborative work. Heritage Speakers and L2 learners are enrolled together in many Spanish classes in North American universities, which presents unique challenges to both instructors and students. This work examined the interactions of 30 intermediate students at a Canadian university. The data were analyzed within the framework of sociocultural theory, with a focus on collaborative work and Spanish use. Theme: Applied Linguistics/Second Language Acquisition Presenter: Sheri Anderson, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT Is study abroad for heritage language learners more than just a trip ‘home’? Study abroad often aims to improve second language learners’ oral skills in the target language; but what about heritage language learners (HL) who already speak the heritage language well? Little or no research has been conducted on HL studying abroad to a local that is not of their ancestral origin. Presented here is a case study exploring what linguistic, cultural and personal benefits study abroad offers HL and discusses the need for future research.

Context-appropriate language and error correction
Teaching literary translation to undergraduates
Presenters: Rebekah L. Morris, Wake Forest University, WinstonSalem, NC; Vera Castro, Wake Forest University, WinstonSalem, NC Making students aware of context-appropriate language use. Students sometimes are unaware of the etiquette for specific social situations in their native culture, much less in the target language. Through class activities practicing the appropriate response to specific situations in written and spoken contexts in the target language, the instructors create an opportunity for students to reflect on these aspects of their native language and culture.

Presenter: Hildegard Rissel, Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA La locura en el Don Quijote de Cervantes. El presente se propone analizar la representación de la locura en esta obra cervantina. El análisis va a hacer hincapié en el protagonista; sin embargo, ello arriba también a compararlo con otros “locos” de la novela, por ejemplo, Cardenio. Por ende, se van a ver no sólo los diferentes mátices de locura que Cervantes les presenta a sus lectores en su novela sino también la reacción de otros personajes de la obra frente a ella. Theme: Literature/Literary Criticism/Literary Theory Presenter: Shannon Polchow, University of South Carolina Upstate, Spartanburg, SC Learning from failure: A Study of Donkey Xote. Although Donkey Xote did not resonate with Spanish audiences, it is an adaptation that should not be overlooked. In this paper, I will show how the criticism of the movie parallels that received by the 1605 Quixote and how a university audience familiar with both the historical context of Cervantes’ work and the 1615 Quixote will appreciate José Pozo’s film, preferring it over more traditional adaptations of the work.

La literatura narrativa puertorriqueña Presenter: María del Carmen García, Texas Southern University, Houston, TX (D)escribiendo en la colonia: la narrativa de Luis Rafael Sánchez y Rolando Hinojosa. Esta ponencia es una lectura comparativa de La guaracha del Macho Camacho de Luis Rafael Sánchez y obras de Klail City Death Trip Series de Rolando Hinojosa bajo los preceptos teóricos de, primordialmente, Mikhail Bakhtin, que permite estudiar cómo mediante la oralidad, la intertextualidad, el multiperspectivismo, la subversión de género y otras estrategias, la narrativa de estos escritores se opone a los proyectos culturales dominantes desl estadolibrismo. Theme: Literature/Literary Criticism/Literary Theory Presenter: Mary Ann Gosser-Esquilíin, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL «Corrine, muchacha amable» de Mayra Montero: ¿simulacro de una muerta-en-vida? En este cuento, Montero emplea el estereotipo de una “zombi” para denunciar la aceptación de la violencia por parte de los haitianos. La trama personal de Apollinaire Sanglier es un sombrio simulacro que esconde la situación política que lo rodea y que, como muchos de sus compatriotas, prefiere ignorar. El trompe l’œil de Montero logra que los lectores entiendan que los verdaderos muertos en vida son todos los entes pasivos que no se quieren involucrar para salvar al país.

So what was it like for a French teacher to live in Puerto Rico for a year? What were the challenges and opportunities? What do our students need to make the most of the challenges and opportunities that they will have? Let’s consider who we are as teachers and look carefully at what is in our control. We need to understand how our students learn and what may motivate them to achieve their personal best. A relevant 21st century curriculum, meaningful goals and appropriate coaching allow us to support learners who are acquiring the skills they need for global citizenship.

Comparing interaction and task factors in innovative and traditional classrooms: Identifying differences and areas for future research Presenters: Laura Gurzynski-Weiss, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN; Avizia Yim Long, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN
Since 1969, Spanish Studies Abroad (CC-CS) has been offering study abroad programming and collaborating with educational institutions to support faculty-led and customized programming abroad. Learn more about our program models, specialized language and culture curricula and various options we offer for faculty/teachers interested in implementing a study abroad component to their programming. Theme: International Education/Study Abroad
Recently there has been an increase in student-centered learning and the acquisition of language and content. This study investigates interaction and task-based factors in traditional and innovative classrooms such as collaboration cafés and classrooms with mobile chairs to determine (1) whether instructors and students differentially utilize the spaces, (2) whether there are differences in input, interaction and output, and (3) how this knowledge can be used for research and teaching.

Many international program leaders include service-learning components in their programs. Without ties to community partners in the destination country, though, some leaders must rely on an on-site broker to find an appropriate community partner organization whose needs match the student learning outcomes.

19th-century Afro-Argentine women’s literary discourses: Faith, identity, agency Presenter: Edith Moss Jackson, Howard University, Washington, DC The session examines the importance of excavating previously understudied literary texts by citizens who were marginalized because of a Eurocentric 19th-century liberalism. The imagined nation denied the presence of its “impure” citizens, and invisibilized their historical and cultural contributions. Today, reimagined nations encourage the recovery of texts, such as life writings and newspapers by Afrodescendant editors, and female contributors, to recreate a literary heritage of inclusion. This recovered heritage reflects the multicultural voices of pluriethnic citizens of the re-imagined national ideal. Theme: Literature/Literary Criticism/Literary Theory

A method for teaching pronunciation used in an upper-level Spanish course (but applicable at all levels) is described. Students were introduced to simple concepts in phonetics to help improve pronunciation and prepare them to teach. They recorded themselves speaking Spanish and reflected on the experience and their progress throughout the semester. Heritage and non-heritage speakers benefited. In the service-learning component of the course, local native Spanishspeaking school children served as models for learners of Spanish. Theme: Methods/Techniques/Strategies
The Libros Infantiles project: Heritage language students learning Spanish through southwest children’s books
Presenter: Meghann M. Peace, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN Yo te amo: Intonation acquisition by native English speakers in relationships with native Spanish speakers. This paper analyzes the intonation of non-native Spanish speakers in romantic relationships with native Spanish speakers. The native English speakers show variable acquisition of their partners’ deaccenting, scaling and alignment patterns. This variability is due to their commitment to their partners’s dialects and their motivation to use Spanish. This study presents evidence that nonnative speakers can acquire Spanish intonation, and it examines the interaction of intonation acquisition and motivation.

Juan Ruiz de Alarcón: Impairment as empowerment in early modern Spain Presider: Olga M. Muñiz, Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, MI Presenter: Gloria B. Clark, Pennsylvania State University: Harrisburg, Middletown, PA Juan Ruiz de Alarcón was found to be deficient by his fellow writers, not for his style or literary production, but for the shape and appearance of his physical body. As a hunchback in early modern Spanish society, he was seen as grotesque and the subject of endless satire. Yet, at the same time, he wrote plays of delicate sensitivity and firm moral consciousness. This paper employs disability theory to examine the ways in which an impaired, yet empowered Ruiz de Alarcón answered his critics through his writing.

Presenter: Olga Carreras González, University of Redlands, Redlands, CA Las plagas de Macondo en Cien años de soledad. Durante los cien años que dura su existencia, Macondo es asolado por las más variadas plagas. Macondo padece durante su breve siglo de vida pestes numerosas, que lo afectan a veces en lo físico, otras en lo moral, y en ocasiones en ambos aspectos, haciendo su vida inestable y trágica. El autor califica algunos como plagas: la peste del insomnio, la proliferación animal; otros tienen ese carácter por el infortunio que proporcionan a Macondo.

Presenter: Edward Waters Hood, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ El ahogado en la obra narrativa de Gabriel García Márquez. En el mundo caribeño de donde proviene Gabriel García Márquez, la posibilidad de morir ahogado es una realidad cotidiana. De hecho, uno de sus mejores textos breves, el cuento «El ahogado más hermoso del mundo», tiene como protagonista a un ahogado, un muerto cuya presencia termina transformando un pueblo costero muy feo y triste en un pueblo hermoso y feliz. En este ensayo examino el uso simbólico, metafórico y alegórico que García Márquez le da a la palabra ahogado en sus textos narrativos para expresar su visión del mundo y de la historia humana.

Presenter: Eufemia Sánchez de la Calle, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI Reescritura de la historia en el teatro español contemporáneo. El teatro de Concha Romero no trata de jugar a la distorsión histórica ni de hacer panfletos políticos; más bien, aunando lo personal con lo político e histórico, busca profundizar en temas imperecederos con el fin de llegar a una reflexión sobre la condición humana. Los múltiples personajes de relevancia histórica que pululan por su obra, en un proceso de asimilación que concatena el pasado en función del presente, parecen intentar iluminar la realidad más contemporánea.

Language learning and maintenance among heritage and bilingual learners Presenter: David Hervas, Texas A&M University-Commerce, Commerce, TX Heritage Spanish speakers: Using Spanish in varied speaking environments. Spanish heritage bilingual speakers confront a twofold situation regarding their Spanish competence: growing up in a Spanish-speaking environment acquiring language as L1, whereas learning Spanish as L2 in college (Lynch 2003). As a result, disadjustments between motivation and achievement in Spanish normative competence may occur. This study explores influences on motivation to use Spanish and how it can affect formal learning. Theme: Applied Linguistics/Second Language Acquisition Presenter: Jeannette Sanchez-Naranjo, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK La escritura en aprendices de segunda lengua y lengua heredada: semejanzas que separan. ¿Son las dificultades en la escritura de aprendices de segunda lengua y lengua heredada diferentes? Si lo son, ¿en qué radican tales diferencias? Este estudio analiza textos escritos producidos por aprendices de los dos grupos y examina los errores producidos, su sistematicidad y las dificultades que ellos implican en relación con la integración del conocimiento morfo-sintáctico y semántico en el proceso de adquisición de la lengua escrita. Theme: Applied Linguistics/Second Language Acquisition Presenters: Damián Wilson, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM; Mary Hudgens, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM; Michael R. Woods, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM Being bilingual in New Mexico: Identity labels and attitudinal dimensions of Spanish language maintenance. This study examines how different attitudinal dimensions toward Spanish maintenance correlate with identity labels and gender among Spanish as heritage language learners. Using survey data from first semester (N=257) and fourth semester (N=174) SHL students, we find that gender and identity labels index different perceptions of heritage language maintenance. We show how these findings are informative for SHL classroom practices and program design. Theme: Linguistics

Digital media has allowed racially charged materials to proliferate. Email and special interest web sites targeting a particular group such as migrant farm workers have no doubt contributed to the current debate on immigration. This presentation considers modern North American stereotypes, myths and slurs of Mexicans through an analysis of selected verbal and visual exemplars with the goal of better understanding the illusory, slippery truth contained within them.

Presenter: Ana Eire, Stetson University, DeLand, FL Los monstruos en la poesía de Luis Alberto de Cuenca. Luis Alberto de Cuenca es uno de los principales poetas españoles contemporáneos. Este trabajo estudia cómo el tema del monstruo le permite desenmascarar las contradicciones de la vida moderna y escribir sobre un mundo de amenazas y peligros que no están a nuestro alrededor como normalmente se piensa, sino que viven en nuestro interior. Su reflexión sobre los monstruos que llevamos dentro cuestiona parte de lo que asumimos sobre nuestra condición existencial. Theme: Literature/Literary Criticism/Literary Theory Presenter: Grant D. Moss, Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS El poder de la nostalgia de una juventud perdida: Desafíos de Alicia V. Merino de la Cruz. En el poemario Desafíos de Alicia V. Merino de la Cruz, se percibe un tono cínico que proviene de la pena de una juventud perdida. Los poemas de la colección reflejan el pesimismo que un adulto siente cuando medita en su adolescencia agradable que ya no volverá. Desafíos demuestra entonces que la melancolía no reproduce simplemente una memoria amarga sino que le proporciona a uno la energía que le permite enfrentarse a la vida adulta.

The relationship between language complexity and oral fluency in intermediate second language learners of Spanish Presenter: Phil Thornberry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN To investigate the relationship between complexity and fluency, we examined the speech of intermediate learners of Spanish as they performed three increasingly complex tasks. Our results indicate that the cognitively more demanding tasks encourage learners to produce language which is not only more complex, but also more fluent. These results point to the importance of emphasizing classroom activities that require the learner to perform challenging tasks, which in turn promote oral fluency.

Studies in linguistics and applied linguistics Presenter: Richard Winters, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA Gallicized Canary Islander surnames in French Louisiana. During Louisiana’s Spanish colonial period in the latter part of the 18th century, Canary Islanders were recruited to populate settlements in Spain’s newly acquired territory. Over time, the surnames of many, but not all, of these Spanish colonists were Gallicized through contact with the dominant Louisiana French culture. Focusing on Spanish surnames in Lafourche Parish, this study examines the linguistic processes involved and why some surnames were affected and others were not. Theme: Linguistics Presenter: Paul B. Mandell, University of Houston Downtown, Houston, TX On null subject argument assignment: The first noun principle vs. morphology.

Presenter: Casilde A. Isabelli, University of Nevada-Reno, Reno, NV Spanish gender agreement in L1 English and Italian second language learners: The effects of the study abroad context. This study investigates accessibility to Universal Grammar [UG] by studying a grammatical aspect that is a common problem for adult language learners: the development of L2 Spanish gender agreement. In order to address this issue, two data sets will be analyzed. The first data set will address the ongoing debate on access to UG by gathering data from L1 speakers of English learning Spanish in a 10-month long study-abroad setting. The second data set will address accessibility to UG by studying how well L1 speakers of Italian learning Spanish in schools in Italy perform with gender agreement in Spanish. Data from this study will contribute evidence to the debate of accessibility to UG. Theme: Applied Linguistics/Second Language Acquisition Presenter: Sylvia Zetterstrand, Princeton Univeristy, Princeton, NJ The preterit vs. the imperfect: Revisiting an old topic. The Spanish narrative past tenses are formally and functionally complex, mismatched with their English equivalents and their distinction is hard to perceive. Furthermore, they are often explained using confusing terminology, and captured in rules that are difficult to apply. This session explores more transparent

Innovative approaches for teaching intermediate Spanish Presenter: Megan Elizabeth Pena-Ariet, St. John’s College High School, Washington, DC Using articles about current events to increase proficiency at the intermediate level. This session describes strategies that use newspapers articles to teach intermediate Spanish students at the high school level. Students first complete preparation materials to learn pertinent vocabulary and grammatical structures and then read articles from periodicals in both English and Spanish to increase their cultural awareness. Then, using a system called “Puntos de hablar” the teacher is able to create an environment of fluency, risk taking and increased knowledge of current events related to the countries studied and the issues faced in countries with Spanish speakers.
