Resumen
A pesar del creciente interés en las últimas décadas por la motivación como un factor decisivo en la adquisición de una lengua extranjera, apenas se ha prestado atención a su influencia en el aprendizaje y mejora de la pronunciación de la misma. El presente estudio trata de medir esa valoración afectiva en un contexto inédito en la literatura especializada, como es la educación primaria, atendiendo a los principales agentes involucrados en esta etapa educativa: estudiantes, profesores y padres. Para ello, con una serie de cuestionarios se recogieron datos relacionados con los factores motivacionales de los tres grupos y se analizaron las respuestas, de modo que sirvieran para mostrar un panorama real desde múltiples perspectivas de las fuerzas que llevan a la práctica de la pronunciación en este período. Los resultados indican que, si bien la pronunciación es altamente apreciada por los estudiantes, con valores siempre superiores al 75 % de aprobación, el tipo de motivación mostrada por estos alumnos no coincide con los estudiantes de otras edades o niveles. En el caso de padres y docentes, la alta motivación inicial mostrada se ve afectada posteriormente por las condiciones personales o profesionales, impidiendo su puesta en práctica efectiva en el aula o en casa.Citas
