Abstract
Se presenta un estudio exploratorio y
descriptivo sobre los hábitos lectores
en inglés de estudiantes
universitarios españoles para
detectar cuáles son las áreas de
atención prioritaria para poder seguir
un Grado en inglés según el EEES.
Se midió el nivel de inglés mediante
el Oxford Online Placement Test. Se
evaluaron los hábitos lectores y el
tipo de materiales académicos que
los estudiantes leen en inglés
mediante un cuestionario. Gran parte
de la muestra se encontraba en los
niveles elementales e intermedios de
dominio del inglés. Un porcentaje
muy elevado de estudiantes declaró
no tener el hábito de leer en inglés y
leer solo materiales académicos
obligatorios. Sin embargo, existe
una fuerte correlación entre tener un
nivel alto de dominio del inglés y
tener el hábito de lectura y/o leer
otros materiales no obligatorios. Por
tanto, la enseñanza del inglés
debería fomentar más la lectura y el
hábito lector.
We present an exploratory and descriptive study about Spanish university students’ reading habits in English. The aim is to evaluate their difficulties to study a degree in English, according to the EHEA. English proficiency was tested by means of the Oxford Online Placement Test. A questionnaire was also used to evaluate students’ reading habits in English and the academic material they usually read. Most of the participants were in the elementary or intermediate English proficiency levels. A high percentage of students stated that they were not in the habit of reading in English and they only read compulsory academic materials. However, there was a strong correlation between having a high English proficiency level, reading habits and/or reading other noncompulsory materials. Therefore, English teaching methods should foster reading and improve reading habits.
