Bilingüismo en hijos de profesores nativos hispanohablantes de inglés como lengua extranjera. Un estudio de caso en Ecuador

Abstract

RESUMEN No hay suficientes investigaciones de fondo sobre la adquisición del bilingüismo en los hijos de profesores. Nuestro objetivo era identificar los factores relacionados con la exposición que determinan el bilingüismo en los hijos de profesores de inglés. Realizamos un estudio correlacional mediante muestreo de bola de nieve, recogiendo datos de 49 profesores que tienen al menos un hijo, a través de una encuesta diseñada específicamente para nuestro estudio. Como resultado, el 70% de los participantes afirmaron que todos sus hijos hablan inglés con fluidez, mientras que el 30% restante declaró que no lo hacen. El valor R² de McFadden, que evalúa la proporción de variabilidad explicada por el modelo de regresión logística, resultó ser de 0,386. Se observó un aumento aproximado de 0,273 puntos en la fluidez en inglés por cada año adicional en la edad del hijo menor. Además, la interacción en inglés en casa está significativamente relacionada con una probabilidad aproximadamente 2,211 veces mayor de que los niños hablen inglés con fluidez en comparación con los que no tienen dicha interacción. Por otra parte, la adquisición del inglés desde el nacimiento se asocia con una probabilidad aproximadamente 1,653 veces mayor de que los niños alcancen la fluidez en inglés. Estas conclusiones tienen implicaciones significativas para la educación lingüística y subrayan la importancia de crear entornos adecuados que fomenten una exposición constante al inglés desde una edad temprana, para cultivar un dominio mayor y duradero de la lengua.

ABSTRACT There is insufficient background research on the bilingual acquisition of teachers' children. Our objective was to identify exposure-related factors that determine bilingualism in children born to English teachers. We conducted a correlational study using snowball sampling, collecting data from 49 teachers who have at least one child, through a survey designed specifically for our study. As a result, 70% of participants stated that all their children speak English fluently, while the remaining 30% reported that they do not. The McFadden R² value, which assesses the proportion of variability explained by the logistic regression model, was found to be 0.386. We observed an approximate increase of 0.273 points in English fluency for each additional year in the age of the youngest child. Moreover, interaction in English at home is significantly linked to approximately 2.211 times higher odds of children speaking English fluently compared to those without such interaction. On the other hand, acquiring English from birth is associated with approximately 1.653 times higher odds of children achieving fluency in English. These findings hold significant implications for linguistic education and underscore the importance of creating suitable environments that foster consistent exposure to English from an early age, to cultivate higher and lasting mastery of the language.
