Resumen

Evaluación del lenguaje en aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lenguas extranjeras: una revisión de la literatura hacia un modelo funcional

Avaliação da linguagem em CLIL: uma revisão da literatura para um modelo funcional

La evaluación es uno de los temas más discutidos en aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lenguas extranjeras (AICLE) debido a la dualidad entre el contenido y el idioma, y la falta de directrices e investigaciones oficiales sobre este tema. Adicionalmente, como AICLE es un término general que refleja diferentes realidades, resulta esencial considerar los contextos educativos en los que se establece este enfoque metodológico. Estos diversos contextos hacen que cada programa AICLE sea único en cuanto a aspectos generales como el nivel educativo, qué tan expuestos están los estudiantes a la lengua extranjera, la edad y el nivel de los estudiantes en la lengua extranjera y las diferentes materias que se enseñan en ella. El objetivo de este artículo es discutir las investigaciones existentes sobre evaluación de AICLE y ofrecer un modelo funcional preliminar para que los profesionales se ocupen de los problemas del lenguaje. Al analizar la literatura de forma sistemática, se revisan los conceptos de evaluación discreta e integrada y se considera mirar más de cerca la importancia de tener en cuenta el dominio limitado del lenguaje por parte de los estudiantes, así como los errores. Se espera que el modelo funcional sugerido y las recomendaciones derivadas de él puedan servir de ayuda a los maestros para evaluar el idioma en una variedad de temas y contextos de AICLE.
