Resumen

Este estudio investigó el vocabulario productivo de aprendices de inglés como lengua extranjera multimodales y unimodales, de acuerdo a sus estilos de aprendizaje. Los objetivos fueron: (1) identificar el vocabulario productivo de los estudiantes multimodales y unimodales; (2) determinar si se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el vocabulario productivo y las preferencias en el aprendizaje (multimodalidad o unimodalidad). La muestra la formaron 24 alumnos multimodales y 46 unimodales, aprendices de inglés como lengua extranjera de 2º de Bachillerato. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Learning Style Survey (Cohen et al., 2009), para dividir a los alumnos en multimodales y unimodales, y el Productive Vocabulary Levels Test (Laufer & Nation, 1995, 1999) para medir el vocabulario productivo. A continuación, los datos fueron codificados y sometidos a análisis cuantitativos. Los resultados indicaron que los alumnos multimodales presentaron un mayor vocabulario productivo (1.186 palabras) que los unimodales (948 palabras). La prueba de Wilcoxon mostró que no había diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el vocabulario productivo de los alumnos multimodales y unimodales. Sin embargo, el tamaño del efecto y la fuerza de asociación fueron grandes. Estos resultados sugieren que los aprendices de inglés como lengua extranjera utilizan diferentes modalidades sensoriales para aprender vocabulario.
