Disfemia y ansiedad en el aprendizaje de inglés como lengua extranjera | Stuttering and anxiety in English as a foreign language learning
Resumen
Este trabajo fundamentalmente cualitativo explora la interrelación entre disfemia, ansiedad en una lengua extranjera (ALE), y aprendizaje de inglés para identificar las áreas de mayor dificultad de aprendizaje en estudiantes disfémicos adolescentes y adultos españoles aprendices de esta lengua. De una muestra de treinta y dos alumnos, dieciséis con disfemia (ACD) y dieciséis sin disfemia (ASD), se analizaron entrevistas realizadas con los primeros, y se compararon sus respuestas con las de los ASD a dos escalas de ALE. Los resultados indican que la disfemia y la ALE afectan al aprendizaje lingüístico de los ACD negativamente, provocando el rechazo de su identidad lingüística. La lectura en voz alta y la interacción oral frente al profesor y el grupo clase fueron las áreas más problemáticas con niveles de ALE significativamente mayores en ACD. Ello subraya la necesidad de implementar prácticas pedagógicas que reduzcan la ALE de estos estudiantes y refuercen su auto-concepto.
