Resumen

La incidencia del vocabulario en el nivel de los alumnos ha sido uno de los componentes del idioma inglés con mayor investigación, sin embargo, se consideró la necesidad de realizar una valoración de contexto con el objetivo de analizar el efecto de la implementación de la descripción de imágenes en la adquisición de vocabulario en una población específica. Los participantes fueron diez alumnos de una academia de inglés (n=10). Para el análisis de los datos obtenidos se consideró un levantamiento de muestra de tipo “mixta” a través de instrumentos cuantitativos y cualitativos aplicando una encuesta con enunciados en una escala de Likert, pruebas de diagnóstico y pruebas posteriores sobre el conocimiento de vocabulario y su uso en contexto permitiendo analizar la comparación de las medias en un p < .005 cuya interpretación de datos es estadísticamente significativa.

Los resultados de los instrumentos (prueba de conocimiento de vocabulario y prueba de vocabulario en contexto) evidencian que el uso de la descripción de imágenes tiene un impacto positivo en la adquisición de vocabulario. Los participantes aprendieron más palabras y después de la intervención con una magnitud Cohen ’s d = 0.45 reafirmando que la confianza de “n” fue mejor respecto al uso de vocabulario “conocido” y “nuevo”. Los resultados además representan un valor significativo para docentes del área, ya que recomienda actividades que incluyan la descripción de imágenes para contribuir a un aprendizaje de vocabulario adecuado para su desarrollo e interacción.
