aprendizaje de la lengua portuguesa, antecedentes del alumno, ideología lingüística, capital, BourdieuResumen
Este estudio investiga el aprendizaje de la lengua portuguesa de un grupo de estudiantes con un enfoque en su acceso al capital económico, social y cultural. La investigación cuestiona la tradicional suposición acrítica de la búsqueda compartida de la competencia lingüística entre los estudiantes. Basándose en entrevistas individuales a profundidad con 14 participantes en una universidad de Macao, este estudio ilustra cómo los estudiantes locales y los de China continental relacionaron su aprendizaje del idioma portugués con la adquisición de diferentes formas de capital. En concreto, nuestro análisis revela que los participantes buscaron principalmente el capital económico, siendo el capital cultural y social menos influyente, mientras que, entre los participantes de China continental, la influencia del capital económico fue débil e insostenible, con una distribución equilibrada de capital cultural y social. Los resultados también sugieren que los contextos familiares y las redes sociales de los participantes determinaron su búsqueda de diferentes formas de capital en el aprendizaje del portugués, lo que implica que las instituciones educativas y los docentes deben reestructurar sus recursos de aprendizaje y estrategias pedagógicas para los estudiantes de lengua portuguesa en Macao, poniendo mayor énfasis en el refuerzo de las conexiones sociales de los estudiantes con las comunidades portuguesas o macaenses locales.
