La influencia de los modelos de enseñanza en el dominio del léxico fundamental de ELE: método intensivo frente a método extensivo

Within the Program of Spanish Bilingual Sections of the Ministry of Education of Spain, the first stage develops and provides the basic Spanish language skills needed to undertake the study of subjects in the Bilingual High School Curriculum, at least on level B1 of the CEFR. In Poland, there are two forms of this first stage, with the same curriculum: An intensive, in a year, Lyceum Year Zero, and another extensive in three years of secondary education. This study examines, quantitatively and qualitatively, the lexical mastery of two samples of 120 students each from seven bilingual secondary schools, representative of both modalities. The technique used has been the test of lexical availability, covering 16 topics.
