Ansiedad en el Aprendizaje del Idioma Inglés en Migrantes Mexicanos en Estados Unidos: Una Revisión Sistemática
Resumen
Este artículo examina los factores que generan ansiedad lingüística en migrantes mexicanos que aprenden inglés en Estados Unidos. A través de una revisión sistemática, siguiendo las directrices PRISMA, se analizaron investigaciones publicadas entre 2004 y 2024 en bases de datos académicas en inglés y español. Los resultados evidencian que la ansiedad lingüística afecta la integración social, educativa y laboral, y se ve intensificada por variables como discriminación, bajo nivel socioeconómico, acento extranjero, baja autoestima y falta de apoyo institucional. La ansiedad no solo repercute en el aula, sino también en la salud mental y el bienestar emocional de los migrantes. Se concluye que es indispensable diseñar estrategias pedagógicas y políticas inclusivas que reconozcan el capital lingüístico y cultural de esta población.
