Aplicación de una estrategia por descubrimiento para el aprendizaje de vocabulario (segunda lengua) en la dimensión de extensión, en jóvenes estudiantes de décimo grado del colegio Julio Garavito Armero IED.

Abstract

This master's thesis is the result of an investigation on the possible improvement generated by better conceptualizing vocabulary in second language learning. It is evident that in learning a second language four skills must be strengthened: reading, writing, speaking and listening. One of the ways to strengthen knowledge in a second language language is lexical learning. That is why this paper addresses the strengthening of vocabulary through the use of two discovery strategies proposed in Schmitt's taxonomy (2000), in order to contribute to the acquisition of English in the case of tenth grade students of the Julio Garavito Armero I.E.D. school, located in the city of Bogota (Colombia).
