This paper uses a linguistic intervention to investigate the connections between rhetorical inference making, linguistic awareness inspired in Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL), and forms of metacognition. An intervention inspired in SFL was designed and implemented using a quasi-experimental design. The target genres were the introduction of the empirical research article and the discussion article. The control group received traditional instruction focusing on background knowledge and vocabulary. Answers to a pre-/post-test were analyzed quantitatively; answers to a written, self-report questionnaire were analyzed qualitatively. The quantitative results show gains in inferential comprehension for both groups, but a greater effect size for the experimental group. The qualitative results show gains along several meta- comprehension dimensions for the experimental group. Students’ self-reports suggest that metalinguistic awareness promotes increased monitoring, raised standards of coherence, and willingness to engage in effortful processing. 2015 artículo científico 0035-0451 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=157043352003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1570 Revista Signos application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso Revista Signos (Chile) Num.89 Vol.48 |
