Analysis and comparison of the official chilean curricula for 1st grade English and Mapudungun : vocabulary teaching and languaje ideology

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa. / Until very recently in the history of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) studies kept
vocabulary acquisition in a lower status compared to other aspects of language as a system of
communication. Current research has demonstrated the importance of vocabulary acquisition
within the SLA field. This study tries to bring together two fundamental components of
language teaching - the vocabulary component and the way it is presented and taught, and the
cultural models and ideologies that influence the creation of a language course through the
analysis and comparison of the two official Chilean 1st grade curricula for teaching English
and Mapudungun. Results suggest there are problems both in terms of SLA theoretical support
and in terms of vocabulary acquisition theories. Each program upholds clear, but quite
different cultural models that define the status of these two languages in our country.
