Resumen

Diversos estudios empíricos sugieren que el Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras (AICLE) es beneficioso para el desarrollo del vocabulario receptivo, que a su vez se correlaciona con una mejor competencia general. Sin embargo, estos estudios han comparado mayoritariamente grupos AICLE y No-AICLE pertenecientes al mismo año de instrucción sin un control de otras variables como cantidad de exposición. El presente estudio, de naturaleza exploratoria, pretende superar limitaciones previas comparando grupos con la misma edad de inicio de aprendizaje, además de controlar otras variables. Para evaluar la competencia general, se administró la primera parte del Quick Placement Test (QPT), y las versiones del Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) correspondientes a las 1.000 y 2.000 palabras más frecuentes para medir el vocabulario receptivo. Los alumnos AICLE obtuvieron mejores resultados que sus homólogos No-AICLE en el mismo curso, resultados similares a una muestra No-AICLE de mayor edad. Teniendo en cuenta el nivel de las clases de inglés y las diferencias en madurez cognitiva y exposición, se argumenta que la instrucción AICLE posee beneficios intrínsecos para el vocabulario receptivo.
