RESUMEN En este trabajo examinamos los glosarios de tres libros de texto utilizados ampliamente en 4º de la ESO en Cantabria, para averiguar si existe un grado de uniformidad en el léxico contenido en ellos. Para llevar a cabo nuestra investigación, aprovechamos recursos digitales novedosos como el Text Inspector y dos fuentes de corpus: la base de datos de English Vocabulary Profile, y el BNC High Frequency List. Constatamos la existencia de un grado significativo de irregularidad léxica entre las tres muestras examinadas, y concluimos que las editoriales no han utilizado métodos sistemáticos para la selección de vocabulario clave en sus glosarios. Argumentamos que esta irregularidad léxica entre los libros de texto puede afectar negativamente al aprendizaje de los alumnos de esta etapa educativa, quienes están obligados a hacer una Prueba Estandarizada de Inglés de la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Santander a nivel A2. En la propuesta didáctica sugerimos que los alumnos de educación secundaria elaboren cuadernos de vocabulario digitales con el apoyo y dirección de su profesor. El objetivo es que los alumnos aprendan a regir las enormes cantidades de vocabulario inglés que abordan fuera y dentro del aula, mejorando su competencia léxica y digital.
ABSTRACT In this paper we examine the glossaries of three EFL textbooks widely used for 4th year of secondary education in Cantabria to find to what extent the samples share key vocabulary. To carry out our research, we use innovative digital resources (Text Inspector) and two corpus databases (English Vocabulary Profile, and BNC High Frequency List). A significant degree of lexical irregularity was found among the three samples, and we conclude that the publishers have not used systematic methods for the selection of key vocabulary in their glossaries. We argue that this lexical irregularity can have a negative impact on the students learning at this stage, who are required to take a standardized test of English at A2 level in the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas Santander. In the lesson plan we suggest that secondary school students develop digital vocabulary notebooks with the support and guidance of their teacher. The aim is that students learn to manage the vast amounts of English vocabulary they encounter both in and out of the classroom, whilst improving their lexical and digital competency.
