abstract = {This study examines the productive vocabulary profiles of Costa Rican high school students studying EFL under two different methodologies, Content Based Teaching (CBT) and Foreign Language Teaching (FLT). Following Laufer and Nation’s (1999) idea of “controlled productive ability,” the participants were tested using the Productive Vocabulary Levels Test (PVLT). Statistically significant differences favor CBT students. After examining gender differences, the evidence also suggests that CBT could have a beneficial effect on students learning of the first 2,000 words of English, particularly for male students. Neither group, however, has fully mastered this word band yet.},
abstract = {Este estudio describe características del vocabulario productivo de estudiantes de secundaria costarricenses quienes estudian según las modalidades de Enseñanza por Contenidos o Enseñanza de Inglés como Lengua Extranjera. Siguiendo la idea de “habilidad productiva controlada” (Laufer y Nation (1999)), los estudiantes realizaron la Prueba de Nivel de Vocabulario Productivo. Los resultados muestran diferencias estadísticas significativas a favor de los estudiantes según el método de Enseñanza por Contenidos tanto en relación a niveles totales de palabras como en cuanto a género (particularmente para los hombres). Sin embargo, ninguno de los dos grupos domina completamente este nivel de vocabulario.},
