Resumen

Si bien la bibliografía muestra evidencias de los efectos de la instrucción explícita en el conocimiento explícito de la lengua, ha habido poca investigación sobre los efectos de los diferentes tipos de instrucción explícita sobre la adquisición de segundas lenguas. Este estudio pretende acercar dos enfoques (la adquisición de segundas lenguas en contextos de instrucción y la adquisición de segundas lenguas desde una perspectiva generativista) mediante la creación de un contexto de instrucción que emplea la teoría generativista para la enseñanza del uso de los artículos con los diferentes tipos de nombres en inglés L2. El estudio analiza tres contextos diferentes (instrucción lingüísticamente informada, instrucción tradicional y no instrucción) en la adquisición de sustantivos contables y no contables precedidos del artículo indefinido singular en inglés L2 por parte de hablantes de chino mandarín. Mediante una tarea de imitación de oraciones y una tarea de juicios de aceptabilidad desarrolladas en tres momentos (antes de la intervención pedagógica, inmediatamente después y al cabo de tres semanas), los resultados muestran que los estudiantes que recibieron instrucción explícita sobre las características semánticas que necesitan ser reestructuradas en la adquisición de los tipos de sustantivos mejoran de manera más significativa. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la instrucción lingüísticamente informada implementada de manera sistemática a lo largo de todo un curso de gramática podría conducir a un mayor aprendizaje en un período de tiempo más corto.
