    Este estudio busca determinar el efecto de la instrucción explícita sobre la comprensión de implicaturas en español como segunda lengua (ESL); determinar si existe una relación entre la competencia gramatical de los aprendientes y su comprensión de implicaturas; y observar si existe un tipo de implicatura que muestre mayor dificultad en la adquisición. En la muestra participaron 23 aprendientes de ESL que fueron divididos en seis grupos (tres experimentales y tres de control) de acuerdo a su nivel de competencia en español. Los resultados no muestran respaldo estadístico, sin embargo, se observa una leve mejora entre los participantes de mayor nivel de competencia gramatical

    This paper aims to determine first the effect of explicit instruction on the comprehension of implicatures in Spanish as a Second Language(SSL); second, whether there is a connection between learners’ grammatical accuracy and their ability to understand such implicatures;and third, if there is a type of implicature which proves more difficult/problematic to acquire.The sample was formed by 23 participants,learn-ers of SSL.They were divided into 6 groups (3 experimental groups and 3 control groups) according to their competence level in Spanish.The 3 experimental groups participated in a 30-minute-long explicit instruction session about implicatures.Even though the statistics did not support the results, there was a slight improvement of the group with the highest competence level. This result is line with previous studies showing that highest level learners profit more from explicit instruction to interpret implicatures

    Cette étude cherche à déterminer l'effet d'une instruction explicite sur la compréhension des implicatures en espagnol comme langue seconde(ELS); à déterminer s'il existe une relation entre la compétence grammaticale des apprenants et leur compréhension des implicatures; et à observer s'il existe un type d'implicature qui présente une plus grande difficulté dans l'acquisition. L'échantillon a impliqué 23 apprenants d'ELS qui ont été divisés en six groupes (trois expérimentaux et trois témoins) selon leur niveau de compétence en espagnol. Les trois groupes expérimentaux ont participé à une session de 30 minutes d'enseignement explicite sur les implicatures. Les résultats ne montrent pas de soutien statistique mais il y a une légère amélioration chez les participants de plus haut niveau de compétence grammaticale, ce qui est conforme à d'autres études qui montrent que ceux qui bénéficient le plus des l’instructions pour la compréhension des implicatures sont les apprenants des niveaux les plus avancés
