Abstract
El trabajo de investigación que se presenta tiene como objetivo realizar una
comparación de la ansiedad en el aprendizaje y comprensión lectora en inglés
como lengua extranjera entre los estudiantes universitarios de nivel básico e
intermedio de un centro de idiomas del distrito de Surco. La muestra fueron 236
alumnos (varones y mujeres) entre 17 y 32 años de edad. Dentro de la
población en mención 162 estudiantes se encontraban estudiando en el curso
de nivel básico mientras que los otros 74 se encontraban en el nivel intermedio.
El diseño del presente estudio es de nivel descriptivo, tipo sustantivo y diseño
descriptivo comparativo. De igual manera, los instrumentos que se usaron para
el recojo de datos fueron la versión en español mexicano de la escala “Foreign
language Classroom Anxiety scale” (FLCAS), para la medición de la ansiedad
en el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera mientras que se realizó la
adaptación al español del instrumento ‘The Reading Anxiety scale’ para la
medición de la ansiedad en la comprensión lectora en inglés. Los resultados
obtenidos evidenciaron que no se presentan diferencias estadísticas
significativas entre los grupos estudiados en ninguna de sus dos variables. Sin
embargo, como datos complementarios se pudo establecer que el nivel de
ansiedad experimentado por ambos niveles era el mismo, es decir, a pesar de
que ambos grupos contaban con diferentes tiempos de inmersión con el
idioma, demostraron tener un nivel de ansiedad intermedia tanto durante el
aprendizaje del idioma inglés como durante la comprensión lectora de un texto
en el mismo idioma.
The research work presented aims to make a comparison of anxiety in learning and reading comprehension in English as a foreign language among university students of basic and intermediate level of a language center in the district of Surco. The sample was 236 students (males and females) between 17 and 32 years of age. Within the population in question 162 students were studying in the basic level course while the other 74 were in the intermediate level. The design of the present study is descriptive level, substantive type and comparative descriptive design. Similarly, the instruments used to collect data were the Mexican Spanish version of the “Foreign language Classroom Anxiety scale” (FLCAS), for measuring anxiety in learning English as a foreign language, while The instrument 'The Reading Anxiety scale' was adapted to Spanish to measure anxiety in reading comprehension in English. The results obtained showed that there are no significant statistical differences between the groups studied in any of its two variables. However, as complementary data, it was possible to establish that the level of anxiety experienced by both levels was the same, that is, despite the fact that both groups had different immersion times with the language, they demonstrated to have an intermediate level of anxiety both during the learning of the English language as during the reading comprehension of a text in the same language.
