Resumen
[ES] El campo de la enseñanza y, concretamente, la enseñanza de la lengua extranjera resulta compleja debido a la variedad de los métodos de enseñanza y enfoques de los que consta. Los tiempos han cambiado y la metodología ha sido modificada para responder a esos cambios en la sociedad actual. Así, uno de los métodos más eficientes y actuales es el enfoque basado en el aprendizaje por tareas. Este proyecto incluye una descripción del mismo.
Como maestra de inglés que considera el vocabulario como algo crucial para comunicarse en una lengua y que es consciente de la dificultad de los estudiantes, especialmente de los adultos, para aprenderlo, he decidido aplicar el enfoque mencionado anteriormente al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje del vocabulario en la educación de adultos. Es por esta razón que este proyecto, además, incluye una descripción de la importancia de vocabulario y cómo asimilarlo, así como el contexto donde el proceso tiene lugar.
Por último, pero no menos importante, considerando todos los elementos previos, he contribuido con algunas muestras de tareas diseñadas para la adquisición de vocabulario siguiendo el enfoque por tareas para demostrar su utilidad durante todo el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
