| dc.description.abstract | This article presents the results of a research project investigating how a student’s ability to successfully learn vocabulary of four word classes (nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs) is affected by the activity through which it is practised. Two-hundred and ninety-two B1 SL students of Spanish were presented with one of three different activities requiring different involvement loads: (1) choosing the appropriate definition; (2) filling in gaps in sentences; and (3) writing sentences that include target words. The analysis shows that participants recalled and recognised more nouns and fewer adverbs—the only non-inflected word class. Additionally, sentence-writing is the activity through which learning new words is the easiest; and the least effective is the definition-choosing activity | |
| dc.description.abstract | Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre cómo la habilidad del estudiante para aprender palabras de cuatro categorías gramaticales (nombres, adjetivos, verbos y adverbios) se ve influida por la actividad con la que trabaja. 292 estudiantes de nivel B1 de español como L2 practicaron con una de tres actividades con diferente nivel de participación: (1) elegir la definición correcta; (2) completar oraciones; y (3) escribir oraciones que incluyan las palabras estímulo. El análisis muestra que los participantes aprendieron más nombres y menos adverbios (siendo esta la única categoría gramatical invariable). Por otro lado, la escritura de oraciones es la actividad que más facilita el aprendizaje de palabras de cualquier categoría y la menos efectiva es la selección de definiciones | |
