This study investigates whether the methodologies of implicit and explicit EFL instruction account for the improvement of university students’ performance on a test over two grammar topics. Three groups were selected. Students in the implicit language classes had no explicit instruction on these topics which were taught through meaningful and contextualised listening, speaking, reading and writing activities. Students in the explicit language classes were taught the regular course plus additional exercises and drills in order to practise the grammatical features, and a control group was taught the regular course. The results indicate that students in the explicit instruction group achieved significantly higher scores than both the students in the implicit instruction group and the students in the control group on the performance tests.
Éste estudio analiza las metodologías implícita y explícita y su relación con el mejoramiento de estudiantes universitarios en una prueba sobre temas gramaticales. Se seleccionaron tres grupos: los estudiantes en el grupo de instrucción implícita no tuvieron instrucción explícita en los dos temas que se enseñaron a través de actividades significativas y contextualizadas en escucha, habla, lectura y escritura. El grupo de instrucción explícita tomó el curso regular ofrecido por la institución más actividades y ejercicios extras con el propósito de practicar los temas gramaticales enseñados; y el grupo de control tomó únicamente el curso regular. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes en el grupo de enseñanza explícita lograron resultados significativamente más altos que los estudiantes en el grupo de enseñanza implícita y que los estudiantes del grupo de control.
