Resumen

Este trabajo estudia las percepciones de estudiantes universitarios argentinos sobre cuándo consideran que es mejor recibir instrucción en gramática en la clase de inglés como lengua extranjera (ILE), si antes, durante o después de la práctica comunicativa. A fin de conocer la opinión de estudiantes futuros profesores de ILE respecto de cuándo aprender la gramática, se encuestó a un grupo de estudiantes de la carrera de Profesorado de Inglés de una universidad pública argentina. Este estudio toma como marco conceptual la distinción que realizan Spada y Lightbown (2008) entre la enseñanza de la gramática de manera aislada (EGA) y de manera integrada (EGI). Si bien ambas se llevan a cabo en contextos áulicos enfocados en una enseñanza y aprendizaje comunicativos, la EGA ocurre separadamente de la práctica comunicativa, mientras que la EGI está integrada a ella. Este estudio busca conocer las percepciones de los estudiantes y además evaluar si éstas son compatibles con las actuales tendencias teóricas que indican que es más efectiva la EGI que EGA. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes prefirieron recibir EGI que EGA, lo cual coincide con las perspectivas teóricas vigentes respecto de la importancia de integrar la gramática a la práctica comunicativa.
