    Attitudes Toward English as a Lingua Franca Among Prospective EFL Teachers in Spain
    (Springer Singapore, 2021) Chacón Beltrán, Manuel Rubén
    Lingua francas have played a crucial role throughout history on the development of civilization by facilitating communication among people of different cultures for different purposes. There have been, and there are, many instances of such “tools” for intercultural communication, but if there is a lingua franca that is playing a prominent role in the world at the moment, it is English. More than 375 million people speak English as a first language, and one-quarter of the world’s population (375 million) speak it as a second or foreign language (Crystal, 2012).

    User engagement patterns in LMOOCs or how to foster distance language learning through MOOCs
    (Tirant Humanidades, 2022) Echitchi, Raymond; Chacón Beltrán, Manuel Rubén
    This work aims at comparing and contrasting engagement patterns in an LMOOC whose purpose is to teach English at lower and upper intermediate (B1/B2) levels. The data presented in this paper, which describe engagement with videos, quiz completion and forum participation were retrieved both automatically (through the OpenEDX feature known as “Analytics”) and manually (for forum participation), and relate to two editions run in May and November 2019. Overall, results point to the fact that in addition to decreasing over time, engagement was closely connected with how much effort the completion of an activity required. In other words, passive activities like watching videos had higher engagement rates than forum discussion. In addition, our findings confirmed what other researchers had indicated, i.e., the sharp difference between the number of registered users and those who actually completed the course
