Resumo

Los avances tecnológicos recientes y el acceso o exposición a input auténtico han promovido el aprendizaje de vocabulario de forma autónoma e incidental. Sin embargo, hasta ahora muy pocos estudios se han centrado en el aprendizaje incidental del aspecto de la acentuación de palabras y la influencia de la variable de repetición en este proceso mientras visualizan videos auténticos. Del mismo modo, la investigación es muy limitada en el campo de determinar el número crítico de las repeticiones necesarias para el aprendizaje efectivo del aspecto de la acentuación de palabras nuevas a través del uso de videos auténticos con subtítulos. Para abordar estos dos problemas, se pidió a los participantes españoles del grupo incidental que vieran cinco horas de un documental de televisión (auténtico, sin adaptar) con subtítulos en inglés, donde once palabras tenían de 2 a 112 repeticiones. Los resultados generales revelaron un aparente mejor desempeño del grupo incidental frente al grupo de control. Sin embargo, un análisis estadístico más detallado de los resultados para cada palabra objeto de estudio ha demostrado no ser significativo. Además, no se ha detectado una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre el aumento del número de repeticiones y el aprendizaje de la acentuación de la palabra y como consecuencia fue imposible determinar el número crítico de las repeticiones para el aprendizaje incidental exitoso del acento léxico de nuevas palabras con vídeos subtitulados auténticos.
