15 años de Investigación sobre la Enseñanza de Vocabulario en Inglés a Niños: Una Revisión Basada en Scopus
Palabras clave:
enseñanza de vocabulario, niños, EFL, metodología de enseñanza, educación
Resumen
El aprendizaje de vocabulario en las primeras etapas de la educación en inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) es fundamental, ya que influye en el desempeño y éxito futuro de los estudiantes. Como resultado, los docentes de niños tienen una gran responsabilidad en la enseñanza efectiva del vocabulario. Sin embargo, los programas de formación inicial en EFL suelen no abordar este aspecto de manera adecuada, lo que genera una capacitación limitada. Además, en muchos países, los docentes de educación primaria no poseen títulos específicos en enseñanza del inglés, lo que conlleva una instrucción poco estructurada en EFL. La presente revisión de literatura tiene como objetivo abordar este problema mediante el análisis de sesenta documentos extraídos de la base de datos Scopus, publicados entre 2010 y 2024, y presentar los hallazgos y conclusiones más relevantes. Se identificaron y discutieron temas clave como la enseñanza del vocabulario a través de la tecnología, la lectura, la música, los juegos y el enfoque TPR, así como la instrucción explícita, el uso de la L1 y el papel del docente, entre otros. Asimismo, se presentaron infografías que resumen los hallazgos generales. El artículo concluye con reflexiones finales y sugerencias para futuras líneas de investigación. Este estudio representa una fuente valiosa tanto para los docentes, quienes pueden utilizarlo como guía en sus prácticas en el aula, como para los investigadores, quienes pueden explorar nuevas posibilidades de estudio en este ámbito.
