La competencia léxica en inglés de estudiantes universitarios en México
Resumen
El presente estudio se centra en investigar una dimensión de la competencia léxica: el tamaño del vocabulario receptivo en inglés de 345 estudiantes universitarios en México. Se adaptó el Vocabulary Size Test (VST) de Nation y Beglar (2007) de 100 reactivos que permite hacer estimaciones de hasta 20,000 palabras. Los resultados generales indican que los estudiantes universitarios tienen en promedio un vocabulario receptivo de 11,367 palabras y que siguen un patrón lineal acorde a su nivel autopercibido de inglés. El VST resultó ser un instrumento válido y confiable para determinar no solo la competencia léxica, sino también la competencia lingüística.
