Resumen

En los últimos años se ha desarrollado una importante corriente de investigación en el tema de la lectura: la perspectiva psicolingüística ha esclarecido importantes procesos que tienen lugar tanto cuando leemos como cuando aprendemos a leer; sin embargo ha olvidado aspectos relevantes sobre lo que es el aprendizaje en el ámbito escolar. Desde referentes funcionalistas se rechazan algunos de esos presupuestos y se propugna una adquisición natural, semejante a la que se da en el lenguaje oral. En este trabajo paso revista a algunas de las posibles lagunas que a mi juicio presenta una de estas propuestas pedagógicas, el lenguaje integrado, argumentando que ambas perspectivas nos aportan puntos de vista sobre la lectura que son en alguna medida complementarios.

Abstract

In the last few years, an important research approach to reading and writing processes has been developed. The psycholinguistic approach has illuminated important processes that occur when we read and when we learn to read. However, this approach has forgotten some very significant aspects about what learning is in the school context. The functionalist point of view refuses some of those principles, and defends the natural acquisition of the written language, similar as what happens with speech acquisition. In this article, a review is made of the gaps of one of this pedagogical proposals, the whole language, concluding that both approaches offer complementary views about reading.
