Comparison of the Spanish Lexical Availability of Future Teachers who Study in Bilingual and Non-bilingual Mode

Abstract

The aim of this paper is analyzing the lexical availability of students who are enrolled in the bilingual degree of education, and in the Spanish-taught degree of education. Furthermore, this study tries to investigate if there are any differences between both vocabularies. In order to get the objectives exposed, a specific survey was designed and two different sections can be identified on it; the first one, which was focused on the sociodemographic data of the students and a second one, to assess the lexical availability. The results show that there are variances between students of both degrees in favor of the bilingual students.
