RESUMEN: Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la evolución de la investigación sobre enseñanza de lenguas en el ámbito universitario dentro de la colección principal de la Web of Science (1900-2019). Para ello, se ha desarrollado un estudio bibliométrico por revisión sistemática, tomando en consideración los siguientes indicadores: producción diacrónica, geográfica, autores y de fuente. A su vez, se ha realizado un análisis del desarrollo estructural de los temas sobre una muestra de 2978 referencias procedentes de seis búsquedas combinadas. Los análisis realizados determinan un patrón de crecimiento exponencial de la literatura científica sobre la enseñanza de idiomas en el ámbito universitario durante la última década (2010-2019); período que contempla el 87,2% de la producción científica actual. En relación a la evolución de los temas del campo, se observa que las líneas de investigación actual se están centrando mayormente en la introducción de la tecnología para el apoyo de la enseñanza de idiomas en el contexto universitario. PALABRAS CLAVE: enseñanza de idiomas; universidad; educación superior; revisión sistemática.   ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is to analyse the evolution of research on language teaching at the university level within the main collection of the Web of Science (1900-2019).

The correction of learner's oral errors in classroom has always been the main concern of many researchers and educators. Based on the ideas of learner-centered approach toward language teaching process, it needs to consider learners' reactions and feelings toward error correction as we do in other aspects of learning. This study discusses the findings of a questionnaire administered to 13 EFL learners at the university level in Iran. The study tries to answer to the questions about 1) EFL learners’ attitude toward error correction, 2) their preferences about the correction of different types of errors, and 3) their preferences about different methods of correction. The results showed that EFL learners have strongly positive attitudes toward correction of all errors by their teacher and they prefer correction of phonology and grammar errors more than others and they would rather self-correction among methods.

There are different attitudes towards the use of translation in foreign language teaching, which are often split between two extremes. This paper will aim to present the positive views on the role of translation within language degrees in general, and in particular in those situations when there is a lack of nation-wide professional schools and university courses specialized in translator training. As a contribution to a positive perspective of pedagogical translation at university level, the paper will reveal the results of a survey conducted among the undergraduate students from the language departments at the Faculty of Philology of the University of Montenegro. The survey had a goal to find out about the students' views on the role of translation exercises in acquiring both language competence and translation competence.

The article is concerned with the identification of characteristic features inherent to the interdisciplinary approach in education and ways of its employment in the process of professionally-oriented foreign language teaching at the University level. The authorsubstantiates the necessity to employ the chosen set of interdisciplinary approach principles in the process of professionally-oriented language teaching; in the process of educational programmes' design; in the process of choosing the forms of interaction and modification of pedagogic technologies. On the example of the language manual written for the students mastering in "Industrial and Civil Engineering", the author demonstrated not only the possibility, but also the need to combine and take into account the highlighted principles of both interdisciplinary and competency-based approaches in the process of teaching professionally-oriented foreign language. Particular attention is paid to the effectiveness of the modular approach as a way to implement the principles of interdisciplinary approach, to design the subject and metasubject content of both educational programmes and academic syllabuses, and to structure students’ textbooks and manuals.
