Alberto Lombardero Caparrós Dipòsit Legal: T 1588-2015 ABSTRACT This doctoral thesis surveys the historiography of English Language Teaching (ELT) at a national level. In particular, from the standpoint of grammar and dictionary production in Spain since its origins back in 1769 until 1900. Chapter one deals with the varied theoretical approaches to a historiography of foreign language teaching as well as the methodology and objectives of this thesis. Chapter two provides a global overview of the evolution of grammars and dictionaries from the invention of printing to the mid-eighteenth century in Europe. Special attention is paid to English grammars and dictionaries aimed at the Spanish people. Chapter three focuses on the specific period object of study in this thesis, between 1769 and 1900, from a threefold perspective: socio- cultural and political aspects, educational legislation, and an analysis of the different foreign language teaching methods followed in Spain. Chapter four represents a novelty since it provides, for the first time, a corpus of all the English grammars and dictionaries published in Spain between 1769 and 1900. Furthermore, it also includes two further corpora in order to get a broader picture of ELT in Spain: a corpus of grammars and dictionaries published outside Spain and aimed at the Spanish peolple and a corpus of English manuals other than grammars and dictionaries published in Spain or abroad and written by Spaniards. Chapter five delves into the the history of grammar and dictionary production in Spain by carrying out a thorough synchronic study of two representative grammars and dictionaries respectively. Eventually, chapter six deals with the final conclusions as well as the future lines of research derived from this thesis. KEY WORDS: Historiography of English language teaching, Spain, grammars and dictionaries, corpus, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, foreign language teaching methods.

  • Report Name:Spanish Wine Sector Update
    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: June 28, 2020 Report Number: SP2020-0025 Report Name: Spanish Wine Sector Update Country: Spain Post: Madrid Report Category: Wine Prepared By: Carmen Valverde Approved By: Jennifer Clever Report Highlights: During the first quarter of 2020, Spanish data shows a significant drop in wine sales to the domestic and international markets. The drop in Spanish wine sales is primarily due to the closure of the hospitality and tourism sectors in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Average prices for Spanish wine are also expected to decline. The Ministry of Agriculture implemented a set of extraordinary measures to alleviate the pandemic’s negative impact on the Spanish wine sector and to avoid a surplus of wine during the upcoming season. With the end of the Spanish State of Alarm and the reopening of nonessential activities, Spanish industry observers expect the wine sector to rebound. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY General information According to EU official data, in 2019/20, Spain produced 38,100 thousand hectoliters (HL) of wine including grape must, a 23 percent drop from the previous market year and 11 percent below the five- year average. The planted area to vineyards stood at around 902,000 hectares, a two percent decline from the previous period and 1.7 percent below the five-year average. Spain leads the area planted with organic vineyards in the EU with 113,412 hectares. There are about 4,300 wineries in Spain, 75 percent of which are export oriented.

  • ABSTRACT Literary Critique of Female Identity Under Spain's
    ABSTRACT Literary Critique of Female Identity under Spain’s Francoist Dictatorship in Nada and Entre visillos Julia Castillo Director: Frieda Blackwell, Ph. D. Two works by female authors during the Francoist dictatorship in Spain––Nada, published in 1945, and Entre visillos, published in 1957––use double discourse to critique society through their expression of female identity. Carmen Laforet and Carmen Martín Gaite worked past censorship to articulate an alternate vision of female identity formation to the policies of the Francoist dictatorship which articulated a limited role for women. The framework offered by these books’ historical and literary contexts allows for a detailed analysis of each work individually. Andrea, the main character of Nada, discovers her identity during a tumultuous year with her family in Barcelona, its description shaped by the tremendismo literary movement. Entre visillos, published in the next decade, uses the technique of neorealismo to portray the lives of various young women and men in a provincial capital, with the character Natalia playing a critical role. As each book is an example of the bildüngsroman, identity formation is paramount. Nada and Entre visillos, through their different time periods and literary styles, present their female characters’ struggles to develop their own identities in a repressive society.

    Inclusion and Diversity in Schools Inclusion and Diversity Guidelines for Inclusion and Diversity in Education Guidelines for Inclusion and Diversity ‘Inclusion and Diversity in Education (INDIE) is a British Council led project aimed at promoting social cohesion and raising educational standards in culturally inclusive schools. It is run in collaboration with local and regional education authorities from nine EU Member States: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, in Schools Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. www.britishcouncil.org/INDIE Inclusion and Diversity in Education Guidelines for Inclusion and Diversity in Schools First Published in 2010 by Acknowledgements British Council Martínez Campos 31 The authors would like to warmly thank the young leaders, INDIE co- 28010 Madrid ordinators, headteachers and education officials who developed and implemented the projects and to the co-ordinators and British Council country managers who assisted in collating the examples of best Author: practice on which the guidelines are based. Many examples were sent in. Unfortunately space does not allow us to represent all of the excellent Nargis Rashid (Birmingham City Council) work that has taken place across all of the project countries. The authors take full responsibility for any factual or other errors in reporting the Leon Tikly (University of Bristol) examples. Copy Editor: Mark Levy Note on terminology The terminology relating to inclusion and diversity is complex and @ British Council contested and there are differences in interpretation and meaning both within and between countries. For the sake of simplicity the following terminology has been used: The terms “children from a migrant background”, “children of migrants” and “migrant pupils” is used to refer to the children of all persons living in an EU country where they were not born, irrespective of whether they are third country nationals, citizens of another EU Member State or subsequently became nationals of the host Member State.

We have installed several new facilities: a liquefier plant to produce liquid Helium from the recovered gas, a new STEM microscope, a roll to roll nanoimprint pilot plant for the production of nanostructured functional surfaces and a new Joule-Thompson STM which can go down to a temperature of 800 mK with 3 Teslas applied magnetic field. The scientific production of the Institute has reached 200 papers/ year with an accumulated number of citations of the order of 18000 and a healthy parabolic increase with time. The institutional h index at the end of 2016 was 61. In terms of financial support we have reached the point of getting 2/3 of our budget from external, competitive sources, with only 1/3 coming directly from the administration. This figure, unprecedented for Spanish institutions, demonstrate that we are very competitive, but at the same time, places us in a somewhat fragile situation, since we are too dependent on continuing this extraordinary success rate in external projects. That is why we should prepare ourselves to try and secure stable funding in the next future through programs such as the Severo Ochoa call for Centers of Excellence. We have also reorganized our governance structure by appointing three Deputy Directors for Scientific Strategy (Dr.
