What is ELFING?
ELFING is…
“A ’bridge’ to understand how future English language teachers
perceive and approach the language in multilingual contexts in
Spain”

The ELFING Project

What are our goals?
1) To record, analyse and contribute to the development of new knowledge
regarding Spanish English Studies/English Language Teaching university
students’ metalinguistic awareness, linguistic ideologies and identity-
constructuction processes.

2) To identify the pedagogical choices that trainees make in relation to their

ideologies and pedagogical identities.
What are our goals?
3) To identify potential effective ELF and GC teacher training practices that address the desired
transformation that current research in applied linguistics and the sociolinguistic reality of Spain is
calling for towards interculturality and plurilingualism, with a global competence, in the four areas.

4) To compare the data recorded at the two geographical contexts to identify potential differences and
similarities.

5) To disseminate the results of the study to specialist and non-specialist audiences, and to
practitioners.
