Strategies for Learning Vocabulary in and outside the Classroom

Strategies for Learning Vocabulary in and outside the Classroom

Abstract

Una parte importante del aprendizaje de un idioma es la adquisición de vocabulario, para aplicarlo a los demás aspectos que se estudian. Los profesores de idiomas pueden ayudar a los estudiantes a mejorar su conocimiento léxico utilizando estrategias que enfocan su atención en el significado. La adquisición de vocabulario debe ser un proceso constructivo centrado en descubrir el significado de los vocablos. Al avanzar de un nivel a otro en el aprendizaje de la lengua, el estudiante no solo ampliará el número de palabras que comprende y utiliza, sino también la cantidad de información que tiene de una pala-bra en particular. En consecuencia, incrementará su capacidad de comunicación cuando integre el léxico adquirido con las estructuras que ha aprendido. Al respecto, Teichroew propone que "vocabulary knowledge can best be represented as a continuum with the initial stage being recognition and the final one production" (citado en Gass y Selinker, 2008, p. 452). Los docentes de ESL suelen recurrir a diferentes estrategias para aprender léxico dentro y fuera del aula. En este artículo se analiza el papel que desempeñan los falsos amigos, la afijación y el contexto como estrategias clave de adquisición léxica que pueden mejorar la competencia del aprendiente de L2.

An important part of learning a language is acquiring vocabulary in or-der to apply it to the other aspects that are studied. Language teach-ers can aid students in upgrading their lexical information by using strategies that will focus their attention on meaning. Lexical learning should be a constructive process focused on finding out the meaning. As students advance from one level to another in their language learning, they will expand the amount of words they understand and use. They will also broaden the amount of information they have of a particular word. Consequently, this increases their ability to communicate when it is integrated with the structures they have also learned. In this regards, Teichroew proposed that “vocabulary knowledge can best be represented as a continuum with the initial stage being recognition and the final one production” (as cited in Gass and Selinker, 2008, p. 452). ESL teachers usually employ different strategies for lexicon learning in and outside the classroom. This article discusses the role of false cognates, affixation, and the context as key vocabulary learning strategies that may enhance the learner’s competence in L2.
