Resumen

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo explorar las diferencias entre un grupo de aprendices en un contexto de Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras (AICLE) y uno en NO-AICLE con respecto a (i) si el grupo AICLE hace un menor uso de la L1 en contextos de estrategias de interacción y de errores de transferencia en comparación con el grupo NO-AICLE; (ii) si existen diferencias entre ambos grupos en riqueza léxica (type/token ratio y D), precisión (orden de palabras y la producción de los artículos definido e indefinido) y complejidad sintáctica (producción de oraciones principales y subordinadas y variedad de tiempos verbales utilizados); y (iii) si el uso de la L1 se correlaciona con la riqueza léxica, la precisión y la complejidad sintáctica. El análisis de una tarea de producción oral llevada a cabo por dos grupos (AICLE y NO-AICLE) de bilingües vasco-castellano de catorce años, aprendices de inglés como L3 indica que el grupo AICLE hace un menor uso de la L1. También hemos observado que el grupo de AICLE obtiene mejores resultados en riqueza léxica y nivel general. Con respecto a las medidas de precisión y complejidad sintáctica, encontramos diferencias entre ambos grupos solamente en la producción correcta de los artículos definido e indefinido y en el uso de las oraciones subordinadas. No hemos observado ninguna correlación entre el uso de la L1 y la precisión y complejidad sintácticas, lo que sugiere que un menor uso de la L1 no está siempre relacionado con un mejor rendimiento en aspectos específicos del lenguaje ni con la complejidad del mismo.
