Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa / Current research has established that vocabulary learning is essential in the process of Second
Language Acquisition (SLA). Since vocabulary learning is an extremely variable practice,
choosing the right method to teach it is important so as to achieve proficiency in the target
language. In this sense, the Language Planning and Policies (LPP) of different countries lay
a fundamental role when establishing language policies and the creation of curricula and
textbooks for teachers and students. Following this, the present study focuses on the analysis
of the English textbooks from 1st to 4th year of high school, designed for public schools, as
well as the curricula from the Chilean Ministry of Education. The aim of this study was to
verify if the curricula creation follows what the current academic literature establishes
regarding vocabulary acquisition techniques and whether what was presented in the curricula
corresponds to what is taught to high school students in their English textbooks. The results
show that the teaching of English vocabulary in public education does not entirely follow the
major guidelines that have been explored in the literature about vocabulary teaching and
learning by different authors, rather, it takes some notions from it, which are not fully
developed. Additionally, the Chilean Ministry of Education does not seem to have a clear
explicit public policy in regards to English education in the country.
