Resumen
Esta investigación promueve la implementación del análisis del discurso a partir de un estudio de caso de un estudiante taiwanés del español como lengua extranjera. Por otra parte, este estudio señala la necesidad de incluir más actividades pedagógicas que promuevan el uso del análisis del discurso, específicamente en el área de la dinámica conversacional en el aula de idiomas. Los estudiantes de idiomas extranjeros deben ser capacitados para analizar su propio discurso de manera que puedan comunicarse competentemente en diversas interacciones. Los profesores de idiomas extranjeros pueden beneficiarse de discursos orales, por medio de diálogos como una estrategia en la clase. Con el fin de llevar a cabo una investigación del análisis del discurso, este puede ser utilizado como una herramienta para examinar las habilidades de conversación entre los estudiantes de idiomas. Además, los estudiantes pueden favorecerse de las prácticas de análisis del discurso para tomar conciencia de cómo se utiliza
el lenguaje con fines comunicativos y de interacción social adecuadamente. Finalmente, el análisis de la conversación contribuirá al enriquecimiento del desempeño lingüístico de los estudiantes de lenguas extranjeras.
This research supports the implementation of discourse analysis through a case study of a Taiwanese learner of Spanish as a foreign language. Moreover, this study draws the need to include more pedagogical activities that promote the usage of discourse analysis, specifically in the area of conversation analysis in the language classroom. Foreign language students can be led to an understanding of how speakers engage in discourse which shapes the way they communicate with others through conversations. Language professors can benefit from dialogic speeches as a classroom method for researching their students’ language performance and as a tool for examining the conversation skills among language learners. On the other hand, learners can take advantage of discourse analysis practices to become aware of how language is used for communicative purposes and social interaction. As a consequence, conversation analysis can contribute to encourage a foreign language learning environment that more accurately enriches language proficiency.
