Ítem The use of prepositions by Spanish learners of English at university level: A longitudinal analysis(Peter Lang, 2011) Díez Bedmar, María Belén; Casas Pedrosa, Antonio VicentePrepositions are a fuzzy word class dueto their morphological, syntactic and semantic characteristics. They are difficult to use by foreign learners of English al all levels, as reported by various scholars using dijferent methodological approaches which are not always comparable. In order to find out which prepositions pose problems to Spanish university students, a four-year longitudinal learner corpus was analysed a posteriori following Granger's lntegrated Contrastive Model. Our findings show four patterns of development in the use of prepositions, and reveal the role of the mother tangue. These results lead to some suggestions to improve the design of EFL materials for Spanish university students.Ítem The use of prepositions by Spanish learners of English at university level: Main problems(TALC, 2006) Díez Bedmar, María Belén; Casas Pedrosa, Antonio VicentePrepositions are afuzzy word class dueto their morphological, syntactic and semantic characteristics.

To gain a better understanding of the use of the progressive in EFL-instructed Spanish learner writing at advanced levels, this longitudinal learner corpus-based SLA study examines the frequency of use of the progressive, as well as two of the associations of the AH: (i) the progressive with dynamic verbs; (ii) and, no overextension of the progressive to stative verbs. The effects derived from factors or variables such as the tense employed, target– and non-target-like uses, students’ academic year and expected higher proficiency level, task type and individual preferences are also discussed as a way to fine-tuning the strong version of the AH to the use of the progressive by this learner group.
