Resumen

El presente estudio compara la competencia escrita de estudiantes de programas de Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras (AICLE) y aquellos que no siguen estos programas. Un total de 400 estudiantes de educación secundaria obligatoria procedentes de colegios públicos de Asturias participaron en el estudio. La muestra consistía en un grupo de estudiantes de programas AICLE de primero y cuarto de enseñanza secundaria obligatoria y otro grupo de estudiantes de primero y cuarto de enseñanza secundaria obligatoria no pertenecientes a estos programas. Los datos de este estudio proceden de una actividad de composición que los participantes realizaban como parte de sus tareas de clase. Las medidas utilizadas para medir la competencia escrita fueron: fluidez, precisión, complejidad gramatical y complejidad léxica. Los resultados muestran que los programas AICLE ejercen un efecto positivo en todos los aspectos de la lengua examinados
