Abstract

This anniversary volume of the Association for the Teaching of Spanish in Higher Education in the United Kingdom is a compilation of contributions made by members and delegates at the 2019 ELEUK annual conference held at the University of Edinburgh. Throughout the book, authors share their teaching, assessment, and research practice in the area of Spanish Language Teaching (SLT). From strategies to enhance student engagement and foster student agency to reflections on language teaching practice from diverse angles, these nine short papers contribute to current debates around foreign language pedagogy, with a focus on teaching Spanish in the higher education context. [For the two out of nine papers in this volume written in English, see ED606533 and ED606534.]

2. Bueno y la autorreparacion ('Bueno' and Conversational Self Repairs).

Author

Carranza, Isolda

Abstract

The paper discusses the Spanish expression "bueno," which marks the beginning or the end of background and assertion self-repairs in conversation, and often co-occurs with other expressions, such as "viste" and "no?" which mark the other end of the repair. Background repairs provide information the speaker considers necessary for the hearer to understand. Assertion repairs are a hedge to the validity of the assertion being made. Additional evidence for the subordination of the repair to the surrounding discourse is the presence of expressions such as "y" and "pero," marking the return to the embedding structure. This continuation usually contains repetitions or paraphrases of what preceded the repair. "Bueno" is a connector because it signals the relation between what has just been said and what is about to be said. It occurs where there is a change of direction in the discourse, and its function is to modify the hearer's expectations. (JL)
