ABSTRACT: This research was done at Provincia de Bolivar high School located on Sauces 5 in the north of Guayaquil with students of 9th year of basic education. The students have difficulty to speak, read listening and write the language, for what it is considered that the acquisition of vocabulary is the primary source of the problem to learn the English language, as they present lack of vocabulary acquisition. Unfortunately it has noticed that the students from this institution do not have a good oral and written production, since they present a lack of motivation at the moment of speaking. Current education has the challenge of contributing toward the development of students’ skills to live together in their local communities, and to take a more proactive role as world citizens. In what way does the routine vocabulary teaching influence in the development of the speaking competence in the 9th year of education at “Provincia de Bolivar”? teaching vocabulary routines must be adequate methodological strategies that meets modern or traditional criteria of quality and excellence for good teaching and learning and get a good development in speech competition in English, i.e. in practice the objective pursued to utter the phrasing of words, as every student of language aims to learn to speak and write the English language correctly, since competition of speaking that language comes from the motivation that drives to achieve goal as long as showing the desire to learn. Finally, this project is relevant because it is based on the plan of good living in the target 4 "strengthen the capacities and potentialities of citizenship”, by achieving the effectiveness of learning by vocabularies to communicate in an effective manner with the simultaneous effort of study methodology for teaching English language that aims to provide students with the proper teaching of English vocabulary routines in developing their knowledge and systematizing a safe learning.

INTRODUCTION
Currently, educational institutions must keep in mind the importance
of the English foreign language. Since it is one of the most spoken
languages in the world.
By teaching vocabulary routines in English, their utterance of words
develops and modulates their speaking with the knowledge acquired in
teaching, achieving a learning effectiveness to communicate in the medium
of an effective way, emphasizing the use of useful sentences in situations
and prioritizes the communication aspect for students.
Our objective, with this work, is to analyze the differences existing in
the teaching of English. Choosing an appropriate method for teaching the
foreign language is one of the most important questions that a teacher
should ask. There are many factors that influence the learning of a
language: the student's age and personal characteristics, the degree of
immersion, the teacher's involvement, or the methodology used. But
learning a language depends largely on the context, and as teachers it is
necessary that we understand where we develop our educational work to
meet the needs of our students and achieve effective learning.
It is also evident the great interest, at present by the total implantation
of a learning of the English language in the majority of the educational
centers throughout the trend.
For this purpose, we have proposed a didactic guide model as a
strategy to change the traditional way of generating knowledge in
classrooms to a more dynamic one to meet the needs for communication
and interaction amongst all the involved in the teaching-learning process
and in that way, to better the their production.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM
RESEARCH CONTEXT
English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is
the official language in a large of countries like our country Ecuador. It is
estimated that the number of people in the world that use English to
communicate on a regular basis is two billion. English is the dominant
business language and it has become almost a necessity for people to
speak English if they are to enter a global workforce, research from all over
the world shows the importance of studying the English language, even with
educational specific purposes, and the English language is the best
opportunity to be better, as professionals and persons, it can really change
your life, you can become competitive and productive. Currently the English
language is the vital importance around the world, because the educational
institutions must keep in mind the importance of English as a foreign
language. Since it is one of the most spoken languages in the world.
Through the everyday teaching vocabulary unfolds the way of
expressing and achieving great effectiveness of knowledge to the daily
expression; using phrases and useful expressions prioritizing this scheme
for better development and student development and will be able to have a
greater cultural understanding. Learning English is important and people all
over the world decide to study it as a second language in their school
syllabus and children start learning English at a young age. (Sedita, 2005)
This research was done at “Provincia de Bolivar high School” located on
Sauces 5 with students of 9th year of basic education, so they can have a
better development in communication skills.
4
Through the teaching of routine vocabulary the uttering of words are
developed and modulating in speaking with the knowledge acquired in the
teaching and learning process in order to achieve the efficiency to
communicate effectively. It is respective to emphasize the use of helpful and
useful phrases in specific situations and prioritize the communication
aspects for the students.
CONFLICT SITUATION
Students of a foreign language have difficulty to speak, read listening
and write the language, so the acquisition of vocabulary is the primary
source of the problem to learn the English language in the public schools,
as they present lack of vocabulary acquisition, the institution has not been
worried about this problem or neither offer training to their English staff.
Unfortunately it has noticed that the students from this institution do
not have a good oral and written production, because they present a lack of
motivation at the moment of speaking, the real situation is that they feel shy
and introverted, they cannot get the appropriate concentration that they
need to participate during an English class, they cannot formulate simple
sentences, situations or simple conversations.
In fact they cannot get involve into the interaction between teachers
and students. Through a direct observation at high school we realized that
the teachers did not teach enough vocabulary to their students, they did not
motivate students to build and work useful and practical vocabulary applied
or used in daily routines for example: at home schools, movies, supermarket
and so on. This research was obtained by interviews and surveys from
students, teachers and authorities at high School.
According to statistics in many public schools have shortcomings
and deficiencies in learning, whether by teachers whose methodological
teaching strategies are not the most appropriate, because violates
5
the standard of quality and excellence or disinterest of the English language
learning in the students. (KNIGHT, 2015)
The methodology and techniques applied in the teaching and
learning process maybe is obsolete or is not related with the international
quality standards like the Common European Framework (CEFR). The
Ecuadorian in-Service English Teacher Standards are based on the
document developed by the Teachers of English to Speakers of Other
Languages (TESOL) as the organization ESL Teacher Standards (2009)
which is widely used in countries such as Albania, Paraguay, and the United
States.
Therefore teachers must be trained and well-prepared at the moment
of giving classes in the English area. They have to provide students the
appropriate material and pedagogical resources to start up a useful and
practical objective and role during a class to engage them and can feel
motivated to learn more. At Provincia de Bolivar high school requires the
use of this method of perception addressed to the teacher, so that students
can develop and exploit their abilities and skills of interpretation, plotting and
practice, especially in listening comprehension in order to
obtain positive and efficient results of its English learning.
SCIENTIFIC FACT
Currently on the deficient level of teaching and learning from teachers
and students of 9 year basic of the technical high school “Provincia de
Bolivar” Zone 9, District 5, Guayas province, Canton: Guayaquil,
Parroquia: Tarqui, 2015-2016 academic year.
Ecuador is ranked 37th among 42 countries in which the level of this
material was measured in 2011. In March 2011 the national secretary of
higher education for science, technology and innovation (SENESCYT)
presented the results of English proficiency in the country the average is
6
13/20 and teachers have an initial level of English. It is why the current
government is making an effort to train teachers, SENESCYT pose a
scholarship program abroad for English teachers looking for that are better
trained. (Folse, 2005)
Therefore, current education has the challenge of contributing toward
the development of students’ skills (a) to live together in their local
communities, and (b) to take a more proactive role as world citizens. In order
to face such challenge, the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education (MinEduc)
acknowledges the following three key issues: • The importance of the
English language as a tool which equips individuals to understand people
and cultures beyond linguistic and geographic boundaries, the need to align
the English curriculum to standards like the Common European Framework
of Reference: Learning, teaching, assessment (CEFR)—which is
internationally recognized and provides a common basis for the elaboration
of language curriculum guidelines and syllabus, and that the
Communicative Approach is currently the most recognized, accepted norm
in the field of language teaching and learning worldwide because it
comprises a theoretically well-informed set of principles about the nature of
language and of language learning and teaching. (Folse, 2005)
According to Ministery of Education, recognizes that the main
objective of the present English curriculum design is to help students
develop their communicative language skills. Language is a system for the
expression and conveyance of meaning.
The primary function of language is interaction and communication.
The structure of language reflects its functional and communicative uses.
(Sedita, 2005)
CAUSES
• Deficiency in learning vocabulary.
• Teachers are not updated for modern educational trends.
7
• Lack of resources for a proper teaching planning.
• Lack of interest in the English foreign language.
• Poor motivation for arousing the speaking competencies.
• There is not support by authorities.
• Lack of technological equipment at School.
PROBLEM FORMULATION
In what way does the routine vocabulary teaching influence in the
development of the speaking competence in the 9th year of education
at “Provincia de Bolivar” public high school zone 9, district 5 Province
of Guayas Cantón Guayaquil, Parroquia: Tarqui, 2015-2016?
VARIABLES OF THE INVESTIGATION
Independent Variable
Routine vocabulary
Dependent Variable
Speaking competence
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
To establish that the use of routine vocabulary influence the speaking
competence through the design of a brochure with daily activities to
students province, Cantón Guayaquil, Parroquia Tarqui, 2015 -2016.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
To determine that the routine vocabulary is a good reference for the
student to learn the EL, by using specific methods of reinforcement.
8
To implant that speaking competence is determined in the EFL,
making use of the repetitive exercises for eliciting the children to
speak.
To design a brochure with useful and interactive activities to build up
vocabulary applying techniques and suggestions acquired from the
research
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. Which are the main problems that act upon the oral communication
development in the English language?
2. What teaching methods to be applied will be the most ideal to study
vocabulary correctly?
3. What teaching techniques will improve the listening and speaking
skill?
4. What will the impact in the institution be with the application of the
proposal?
5. What kind of activities will be the appropriate to work with the
students?
6. How will the use of routine vocabulary strategies influence in the
language learning, using appropriate motivation?
JUSTIFICATION
The teaching and learning of foreign languages English are multiple
challenges of the educator and the student's academic training in the area
of English. Through the internal factor such as concentration, memory and
motivation; and the external factors such as phycology, sociology, etc. and
external factors affecting learning vocabularies routines being one of the
main accessories for optimizing the talk of developing English language
teaching and learning.
9
Nowadays in public institutions they have many flaws and
shortcomings in the foreign language English weakening the students
interests in learning the language, interfering development. In this way it has
faced several consequences that are problematic academic performance of
students. In the international context in English vocabulary routines are
developed and driving trends, policies and education in schools in the
English area with new paradigms easy socio- educational mission and
vision through this level becoming urgent for data collection the excellent
training of students following the current rules. (Sedita, 2005)
Therefore teaching vocabularies routines must be adequate
methodological strategies that meets modern or traditional criteria of quality
and excellence for good teaching and learning and get a good development
in speech competition in English, i.e. in practice the objective pursued to
utter the phrasing of words, as every student of language aims to learn to
speak and write the English language correctly, since competition of
speaking that language comes from the motivation that drives to achieve
goal as long as showing the desire to learn and partly because the teacher
is teaching using appropriate motivating by teaching the language through
routines vocabularies strategies. (H.C., 2016)
To achieve the effectiveness of learning by the vocabularies to
communicate in an effective manner with the simultaneous effort of study
methodology study vocabularies for teaching English language routines and
constructive in practice started a publishing project that aims to provide
students and professionals with the proper teaching of English vocabulary
routines in developing their knowledge and systematize a safe
learning. This project is relevant because it is based on the plan of “Buen
Vivir” good living in the target 4 "strengthen the capacities and potentialities
of citizenship".
As in the productive matrix, zonal schedule 8 2.5.5. Education
Service, LOEI That, Article 57, in its paragraphs 14 and 21 of the
Constitution of the Republic, referring to the rights of communities, peoples
10
and nationalities, states: (14.) To develop, strengthen and enhance the
intercultural bilingual education with quality criteria, from early stimulation to
the upper level, as cultural diversity, for the care and preservation of
identities in line with their teaching and learning methodologies. Our
President Eco Rafael Correa and his staff of Education Ministery has
implemented new policies about the English teaching and learning standars:
General Básica (EGB) and first, second and third year of Baccalaureate is
characterized by two main features:
Focus on real-world contexts: Because students will ultimately have
to use the language productively (through speaking and writing) and
receptively (through listening and reading) outside the classroom,
classroom tasks/ activities must equip students with the necessary skills for
communication in everyday contexts. Relationship of language forms
(grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation) and function (use): “Language
techniques are designed to engage learners in the authentic, functional use
of language for meaningful purposes” (Brown, 2007 p.46) supported by
knowledge of the language.

CHAPTER II
THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
Hurtado, J. (2008) states “The theoretical foundation is the organized
and systematic development of ideas, concepts, background, and theories
that allow us to support the investigation and understand the approach of
the investigator.” (p.55)
A literature search is “a systematic search of all types of published
literature in order to identify as many items as possible that are relevant to
a particular topic” (Gash, 2000, p.1).
Hurtado (2008), Gash (2000) indicate that the theoretical foundation
is where meets the necessary documentation to support the theoretical and
conceptual basis of a scientific or educational research. So, in the
theoretical foundation a written description is done and while the ideas the
researcher says the issue explored are processed; plus events and theories
through literature aid or support that will help exert a certain force to the
proposals that are made in the investigation are defined.
Therefore, when the foundation is drawn on a project the researcher
must review various items or information related to the subject that allow
you to critically correct, coherent argument of research studies.
According to Maxwell (2005), “the point is not to summarize what has
already been done in the field. Instead, it is to ground your proposed study
in the relevant previous work and to give the reader a clear sense of your
theoretical approach to the phenomena that you propose to study” (p. 123)
12
Maxwell (2005) reports that the theoretical foundation of a research
work is based on previous studies exist on the subject, in addition to the
relationship that should exist between theory is already known and the
contribution that will research the field of study to which belongs to the study.

BACKGROUND
Reading comprehension is individual talent that people have to
understand, use and analyze the different written with the purpose of
obtaining personal goals but also allows the individual to develop their own
knowledge to enable full participation in society. In the school library there
Languages and Linguistics educational projects with similar themes but note
that the proposal is totally different from what the project is completely
original.
Research carried out in the educational unit Province of Bolivar is the
first to be held in the institution and seeks to understand the reasons why
reading skills and appropriate use of vocabulary help in learning the English
language through a system coordinated and coherent clear concepts of
research.
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
BASIC VOCABULARY
Definition
The vocabulary term has different definitions. According to
Multicultural & ESOL Program Services Education Dept. 25 (2007),
Vocabulary development refers to the knowledge of stored information
about the meanings and pronunciations of words necessary for
communication.
Vocabulary development is important for beginning reading in that
13
when a student sounds out a word, he or she is also determining if the word
makes sense based on his or her understanding of the word. (p.1)
On the other hands, National Reading Panel (2000), Vocabulary is
one of five core components of reading instruction that are essential to
successfully teach children how to read. These core components include
phonemic awareness, phonics and word study, fluency, vocabulary, and
comprehension. (p.1)
Sedita (2005) Refers That there is an important place in the
competition of vocabulary in students who enter high school grades and that
space gets bigger every time students advance or progress through the
grades. On the other hand, students who have an inadequate vocabulary
have more difficulty understanding what they read so learning new words is
not given easily.
Being an essential part in the development of language, vocabulary
has different ways for students to increase knowledge of new words and
Folse (2004) indicates there are in fact many different kinds of vocabulary
items or “words.” This is especially true when nonnative learners eye their
target language as linguistic outsiders. One simple way to look at
vocabulary for second language learners is single words, set phrases,
variable phrases, phrasal verbs, and idioms. (p.2)
Therefore, the vocabulary has an important role in the teaching-
learning process because it is the link between reading and understanding
the text. Thus, the vocabulary is not only the knowledge of words but also
to know form may increase understanding of what you read. (Llach, 2014)
IMPORTANCE
VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE AS BUILDER
Vocabulary and Its Importance in Language Learning refers that
“Teachers teach vocabulary to build students’ knowledge of words and
14
phrases, helping them learn any and all of these different components
assists them in enhancing their English vocabulary knowledge and use.”
(p.3) Teacher through vocabulary helps the student in the construction of
knowledge because through this mechanism the student learns the
mechanism needed to improve learning English.
Besides this, “Vocabulary and Its Importance in Language
Learning Sometimes” indicates too students learning English as a foreign
language are weaker at recognizing particular constraints on vocabulary
usage, such as the fact that only young people use a particular word or
expression, which might be colloquial and not usually deemed appropriate
in more formal contexts such as speeches. Yet if teachers are aware of their
students’ strengths and weaknesses in English vocabulary, then they have
a place to start to expand students’ knowledge and strengthen weaker
areas. (p.5)
Development and proper use of vocabulary in English language
learning enable students to recognize the limitations they have on the use
of certain words or expressions used in conversation or writing English.
However, the strengths and weaknesses of nursing students in the use of
English language vocabulary should be known by teachers who must seek
the necessary mechanisms to strengthen and expand the areas in which
students are deficient. (Mart, 2013)
On the other hand, the importance of vocabulary is that it becomes a
major part in learning mother and foreign language through vocabulary that
the students can understand written completely, so indicates Alqahtani
(2015), vocabulary knowledge is often viewed as a critical tool for second
language learners because a limited vocabulary in a second language
impedes successful communication. Teaching vocabulary is one of the most
discussed parts of teaching English as a foreign language. When the
teaching and learning process takes place, problems would appear to the
teachers. (p.21)
15
The Report of the National Reading Panel (2000), for example,
concluded, “The importance of vocabulary knowledge has long been
recognized in the development of reading skills. As early as 1924,
researchers noted that growth in reading power relies on continuous growth
in word knowledge” (pp. 4–15).
In addition to this, the vocabulary increases in individuals’ knowledge
of the meanings of the words that are used in the different activities that the
student perform individual or be they educational, social or labor issues.
(Sedita, 2005)
INCIDENTAL VOCABULARY LEARNING
Incidental vocabulary learning is the process in which the individual
learns new words without intending to do so. For this reason, in the
acquisition of language incidental vocabulary learning it is done gradually
and with sufficient exposure of the mother tongue is studied.
On the other hand, Krashen (1994) studies on incidental vocabulary
acquisition in the foreign language typically involve subjects in extensive
reading. One goal of extensive reading is to read for pleasure, which will
hopefully translate into general language improvement and a boost in
reading motivation.
Krasen (1994) indicated that vocabulary acquisition incidental is
related to extensive reading, because reading this mechanism is aimed at
strengthening the words that the reader already knows without the need to
build a new vocabulary; so that the individual can use the right words in any
activity you do.
Consequently (2010) indicates “incidental vocabulary acquisition
can be regarded as non-explicit in so far as it does not involve an explicit
16
learning intention” (p.29). For this reason, the reader may be reading but in
turn is acquiring a new vocabulary without being aware of it. (TESOL, 2012)
Vocabulary learning induced part of prior knowledge that has the
reader on specific topics and reading from conceptualization of the text to
the meaning of words resulting in the integration of knowledge that an
individual has with the consolidation of the concept of words.
Therefore, Webb (2008) it seems that incidental vocabulary learning
largely depends on the context surrounding each word and the amount of
attention that the learner places on both meaning and form. However, the
type of context seems to have an effect on the correct interpretation of
lexical meaning, since it may lead learners to correctly or incorrectly infer
the meaning of words. (p.158)
Students must make vocabulary acquisition not only taking care on
site or in the way sentences are present but requires attention to the
meaning of words, thus explains Restrepo (2015) through a review of
different papers, key issues concerning incidental vocabulary learning. The
author provides an overview of definitions for incidental vocabulary and
acquisition, and presents a new approach to incidental learning that draws
attention to the recognition of syntactical categorization of the lexicon
through context. (p.159)
The main problem encountered in incidental vocabulary learning is
the lack of clarity that students have to perform mental exercise reading
comprehension causing them more questions than statements; so indicates
Restrepo (2015) when points out the extent to which incidental is a viable
concept, referring to the basic limitation of not having a way to show when
a word has been learned incidentally. However, the author suggests that
vocabulary and acquisition involve a certain degree of syntactic and lexical
knowledge that learners heavily rely on for comprehension, and it is this
relationship that needs to be taken into account for vocabulary learning
purposes, whether it is incidental or intentional (p.160)
17
CHARACTERISTICS
Vocabulary is very important in the reading process, as well as the
size and the fluency in the speech; so that Olmos (2009) claimed that
“measures of vocabulary size -particularly the size of academic vocabulary-
are important indicators of the ability of second language learners to achieve
academic success.” (p. 74-75). Vocabulary is the basic tool for shaping and
transmitting meaning thus it will have a central role in the English learning,
so that is necessary carefully to select the words that will be exposed to
students.
RECEPTIVE VOCABULARY
It is the action that students, individuals or researchers perform
reading or hearing different articles, magazines or books with the hope to
find answer to questions.
With this agree Zhou (2010), who explains that receptive vocabulary
knowledge means the capability to comprehend a word when the learner
hear or see it, while productive knowledge means the knowledge to produce
a word when the learner can use it in their writing or speech. It is stated that
the learner knows vocabulary words receptively first and only after
intentional learning they become available for their productive use. (p.15)
Generally, receptive vocabulary refers the words that understood by
the person when reading or hearing and inclusive written, spoken or
manually signal words. On the other hand, receptive vocabulary allows
recognizing the words, giving him a meaning and setting association with
the other words that help to acquire different tools to create a productive
knowledge. (Folse, 2005)
Referring to Mora (2014) receptive vocabulary conveys the idea of
a language input is received from other individuals through reading or
listening, that is, the speaker perceives the form of the word and tries to
understand. (p.14)
18
According to Mora, receptive vocabulary is when the reader through
the process of listening or people perceives other individuals a language
which is shaping through the words and then tries to understand. Thus, the
individual who possesses an extensive vocabulary not only knows the
meaning of words but also as they are written and how to use them.
For this reason, the vocabulary size indicates the language skills
possessed by the student as the frequency of words is related at all stages
of the student, and indicates Terrazas and Llach (2009) when he says that
Knowing vocabulary size receptive student gives us an idea of the tasks that
foreign language learners are able to perform. (P.15)
It is important to know the size of receptive vocabulary that the
student has because it helps to assess the number of words that is capable
of knowing and allowing you to use in the production of language
EXPRESSIVE VOCABULARY
The people use the expressive vocabulary to transmit the meaning
of words, phrases, gestures and writing to other people. Besides this,
includes and describes the actions and events, realize the connection both
words and correct grammar to elaborate sentences with correct lexical
meaning.
Moreover, the importance of expressive vocabulary is that the person
can express their own desires, needs, thoughts and ideas, thus Hoff et al
indicate that expressive vocabulary is most simply the “output” of language,
how one expresses his or her wants and needs. This includes not only
words, but also the grammar rules that dictate how words are combined into
phrases, sentences and paragraphs as well as the use of gestures and
facial expressions.”(p. 440). Through expressive vocabulary people can
more effectively develop written language but also allows them to intervene
successfully in communications with others. (Folse, 2005)
19
Expressive vocabulary is helpful in learning the English language
because it helps the person understand better how the indications that the
teacher is in the classroom and helps students to express ideas by
combining words with gestures and expressions facial, resulting in a better
understanding of language.
Besides this, Hoff et al “Expressive vocabulary in English is one
component of the oral language skills that predict reading success in
monolingual and bilingual children.” (p.435)
Children learning English at an early age, expressive vocabulary
plays an important role because it can stimulate and develop phonological
skills they possess but also allows you to start the development of
grammatical structure and language skills.
TYPES OF VOCABULARY
The vocabulary is a list of words that the individual will know over
time and increases through learning.
ACTIVE VOCABULARY
The active vocabulary is the use of the words generally used because
the individual knows their meaning and their use and suggests Grigg (2012)
“active vocabulary, on the other hand, is vocabulary that you can recall and
use at will when the situation requires it. You are choosing to use the word
and actively retrieving it from memory.” (p.85)
It can be said that the active vocabulary is the productive part of the
language, because it allows the individual to use those words whose
meaning known to develop precisely the process of speech and writing.
Besides this, Grigg pointed out that new words that the student is learning
should be added to the active vocabulary continuously in order to give
competition to spoken and written language, so the student can use the right
20
word in the right place. Similarly, students may remember the words
spontaneously and in turn make grammatical correctness of tenses when
necessary giving the speech fluency and ability to play sounds properly.
(Folse, 2005)
PASSIVE VOCABULARY
Unlike the active vocabulary in the student understands passive
vocabulary new words but does not use them, so remarks Grigg (2012) “with
passive vocabulary, you can listen and understand. Hearing the vocabulary
used prompts you to recall its meaning. In other words, you are being made
to recall it. So it’s passive vocabulary”. (p.86)
The passive vocabulary is done consistently, ie is insistent change
and this leads to students forget the words, try new concepts, leaving the
words that do not use because they are not fully familiar with the meaning
why They do not use in the oral and written language.
On the other hand, the passive vocabulary refers to the receptive part
of the language so the student can deduct certain word which means
according to the conversation in which it is located. In addition to this, the
student through the passive vocabulary promotes the knowledge of the
different forms or grammatical elements that exist in language.
SPEAKING SKILL
DEFINITION
Talking is how the individual materializes thoughts you have on
determines thing but it is also the act of issuing the ideas that are based on
the expertise that the individual acquired through daily experience.
On the other hand, speaking English is one of the main fears or fears
that students have because they know the correct pronunciation of words
21
as well as whether comments or expressions that would make about a given
topic will be well said, so that teachers must take the necessary corrective
measures to increase this ability in students.
Segura (2012) indicates that “speaking is an activity requiring the
integration of many subsystems...all these factors combine to make
speaking a second or foreign language a formidable task for language
learners, yet for many people, speaking is seen as the central skill.” (pg. 21)
Assuming indications Segura (2012), speech is an agility that
requires several factors to combine together for the purpose required and
the English language this skill plays an important role in students because
it allows integration directly with other skills.
Segura (2012) also states that “when speaking, we construct words
and phrases with individual sounds, and we also use pitch change,
intonation, and stress to convey different meanings.” (pg. 22)
According to Segura, talking is the interactive mechanism in which
meaning is constructed through the different elements of communication.
Thus, production, reception and information processing aid in the
construction of words that transfer the different meanings.
Consequently, the skill of speaking is a skill that English learners
should be performed frequently because it allows interaction on a daily basis
with two other elements of the educational society and also allows fluency
and understanding of the topics covered in the classroom.
IMPORTANCE
Oral expression plays an important role in the development of the
teaching-learning process of the English language because it allows the
22
student to interact more easily in the processes carried out in the classroom
as well as in the educational institution.
ORAL LANGUAGE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASS
The development of oral language is the main objective of the English
class. Oral skills play a leading role in the use of communicative skills and
this is reflected in the expression and understanding of the instructional
processes that students have.
As Augustine (2010) points out, the ultimate and ideal goal of English
learners is to be able to have a conversation, that is, to communicate, with
the native speakers of the language they are learning. For this reason, the
goal of the foreign language class should be to turn the learner into an
autonomous speaker and communicator who can interact effectively in the
socio-cultural context that corresponds to him. (P.162-163)
Referring to Agustín (2010), the main objective that students have to
learn English is to communicate and relate to the native speakers of the
language they are assimilating; in this way they put into practice the
acquired knowledge of the language that is studying.
For this reason, the importance of the English class should be
directed to the student from being a person who only listens to become a
person who speaks, communicates and interacts autonomously and
effectively wherever he is.
In reference to the above line, Cabezuelo (2005) indicates that in the
context of the class of foreign languages both professors, and especially
students, attach more importance to oral language than to written language.
Thus, most of the class time is spent orally and except for occasional
clarifications written on the board, the communication between teachers and
students is predominantly oral. (P.163)
23
The author pointed out oral language is the skill most used in the
classroom by teachers and students, for this reason should be given greater
emphasis in improving the oral production that students have because in
this way Contributes to a more participatory and equitable classroom at the
time of the school activities.
With this view, Barolo and García agree (2011), oral language
occupies a prominent place in the teaching of the foreign language and
many institutions are dedicated to promoting their acquisition through
activities, strategies and appropriate approaches. In this way, oral skills are
given comparable attention to written comprehension and expression skills,
which have traditionally enjoyed greater prestige because of their close links
to literature and the academic world. (P.89)
SPEAKING IS FUNDAMENTAL TO ENGLISH COMMUNICATION
The English language as well as the mother tongue is a structure of
symbols that are acquired for the purpose of communicating and through
those symbols people can relate.
According to Paul, “the students can listen to English at home, read
English at home, and even write English at home. But, most of them have
few opportunities to speak English at home”. (2003;76). So that, speaking
skill should be taught and practiced in the language classroom.
The author of this indicates that the main complication that students
have to speak English is not having where and with whom to practice
outside the classroom, so it is important that teachers spend more time in
exercises that help the student to exercise the skill of speech.
With this thought agrees Stern (2013) who mentions that, “In
language teaching, we must practice and practice, again and again, just
watch a small child learning his mother tongue, he repeats over stage, he
24
practices all the time”, (57-58). Practice and always practice will enable
growing speaking ability.
For Stern (2013), the student who studies a foreign language and in
this case English must practice several learned, because it is a mechanism
that allows familiarization with vocabulary, pronunciation and intonation of
words and in turn allows the student to exercise The ability to express with
their own ideas.
Speaking is important to learn in the language classroom. According
to Dixon in Petty et.al (2009), learning to read and write should not be made
a sudden transition. These activities should be preceded, accompanied and
followed by talk. But many students think that spoken English language is
the most difficult to learn. The students have difficulties in expressing their
ideas in English. (p.299)
These authors indicate that reading and writing skills must be learned
simultaneously and that to complement learning must be accompanied by
activities where they can be expressed through the speaking. However, this
is the point of discord because students think that speaking in English is
more difficult than reading, writing or listening because most present
difficulties, voids or simply do not have the necessary basis to be able to
enter into a conversation. Consequently, speech skills play a leading role in
the teaching-learning process of the English language because it allows the
student to express themselves, communicate or maintain dialogues with
native speakers or those who speak English.
BENEFITS
It is important to know and learn a foreign language because
it allows the individual and the student to better understand the
environment in which it is developed but also allows communication with
25
people from different countries and cultures. Within this context, English
language learning benefits the student in obtaining scholarships and
obtaining a job.
WORKPLACE
Today it is necessary to master the English language because it is a
language that allows us to interact with people worldwide and is one of the
requirements or conditions that the individual must possess when looking
for work.
As indicate Knight (2015), the ability to communicate in English is a
huge asset to many companies and organizations including those who do
not use English as an official language. Companies who conduct business
internationally are likely to be engaging with people who speak English as
a first or second language on a regular basis making the ability to use
English in the workplace a very valuable skill. (p.14)
Assuming Knight's instructions, being able to communicate in English
is a requirement that the various companies or organizations currently take
into account when selecting people to perform a certain task within their
work structures. (Ramos, 2014)
What is more, companies that conduct international business are
regularly the ones who have in their work list persons who have the ability
to communicate in English effectively both orally and in writing resulting in
positive economic growth of the company or institution.
Knight (2015) remarks when saying a good knowledge of English
allows you to communicate effectively with international clients, helping
them to trust you and your organization resulting in strong and lasting
business relationships. People who use English for their work on a
daily basis need to be able to use English for a variety of purposes
26
including in meetings and negotiations, for managing, writing reports,
giving presentations and in social situations. Being able to communicate
and negotiate successfully with clients who speak English makes your skill-
set more attractive to companies who conduct business internationally
meaning employees who speak English can often command higher
salaries.” (p.15)
The author mentions that through the command of the English
language the person can more effectively perform the communication with
the various clients that the company would have entrusted to him, thus
strengthening the commercial relations that existed with the organization to
which the individual belongs or represents.
On the other hand, the people who master the English language are
able to use it in the different work activities they perform such as writing
reports on negotiations or meetings, make some presentation or in the
administration of some position within the company in which they work.
Therefore, the person who manages the communication of the
English language in its entirety is more attractive to the companies because
they can conduct international business but in the same way these
individuals have high salaries.
Besides this Knight (2015) indicates that if the person can speak
English with confidence there is a good chance that you have either studied
or experienced English culture to some extent. This cultural understanding
can be valuable for employers who want to work with or sell to English
speaking countries. (p.15-16)
Consequently, the fluency that the person has to develop
communication through the English language is the one that will give him
greater job opportunities because this ability gives him an advantage over
other people
27
On the other hand, English is the language that predominates around
the world when using a foreign language, for this reason people who for
reasons of work or fun travel constantly find in this language an aid that
makes their travel a little more pleasurable.
INTERACTING WITH OTHER TRAVELLERS
Through the English language, travelers can interact with other
people and feel safer as Rosh and White 2010) indicate, no matter where
travellers call home, English is, overwhelmingly, the international language
of communication for travellers. Although you may be thousands of
kilometers from home and initially perceive little advantage in hanging out
with people that live close to or in a similar way to you, it can often be very
comforting to mix with people with whom you can share experiences and
communicate using a language with which you are confident. (Rosh &
White,2010, p.25-26)
Referring to Rosh & White, (2010) the English language is the
primary language that travelers use to communicate, but at the outset they
find it difficult to establish some kind of communication with the individuals
around them. But as they relate to native and non-native speakers who
speak English they perceive the advantage of interacting with totally
unknown people that result in experiences that help personal and
professional growt
Huang and Hsu (2010) indicate that from a broader perspective, the
interaction between tourists can be seen basically as interaction between
customers, which are a common phenomenon in many cases but can also
be a primary component to gain experience, which raises the importance of
communication between travelers. (Huang & Hsu, 2010,p.548)
From the point of view of these authors, the interaction between
tourists is an exchange of information that results in the acquisition of new
customs that allow improving the learning of English but also is a way to
28
practice the communicative fluency of the language when discussing the
Experiences or the different situations they know.
Huang & Hsu (2010) remark that the social group interaction plays
an important role in determining the quality of the tourist experience. The
social interaction among fellow tourists in the same areas provides mobile
settings for tourist cultures to develop. (p.549). The interaction between
tourists and social groups allows the tourism experience to develop the
culture of each individual and provides the necessary mechanisms to
develop speech quality. (Ramos, 2014)
SPEAKING ENGLISH ALLOWS MORE FREEDOM
The English language is recognized worldwide as the language of
international communication, commerce and of course tourists. Smith
(2012) indicates that speaking English when you travel enables you to enjoy
a greater level of independence than you otherwise might. Rather than
having to rely on tour guides that speak your native language and being
restricted to taking organized tours, speaking English allows you
significantly more freedom and the opportunity to explore more
independently and creatively. (p. 55)
English as a language that is used worldwide and allows people to
access current and complete information, to know the majority of scientific
advances and to be able to relate to different societies gives tourists who
master the English language a high Percentage of independence that allows
them to carry out activities on their own without the need to use
tourist programs or relying on people who do translations. (TESOL, 2012)
For this reason, tourists who speak English have the opportunity to
independently and quietly and creatively inspect the destinations or places
they have planned to visit. (Ramos, 2014)
29
On the other hand, the benefit that people and tourists especially
have mastered English is that they do not have to worry about what others
say, this is what Smith (2012) when indicates that English is an important
and useful language to know when you travel. Even when travelling to
countries where English is not the language most commonly spoken, it is
often recognized as the ‘international language’ and the language that is
mutual to travellers and locals. When you are able to speak English at some
level of proficiency, travelling becomes more straightforward because major
challenges and difficulties can be ameliorated.” (p.60)
That is, the tourist can reach places where English is not
commonly spoken or is not the main language of the place you visit
but as it is the international language you will always find local people or
travelers who recognize the language. For this reason, traveling is easier
because if difficulties arise they can be solved in a more precise way. (Llach,
2014)
But although English is the language of tourism many people believe
that in all places they speak English and sometimes it turns out that it is not
so, so it is recommended to know something of the local language of the
place or tourist site that the person visits.
METHODS
The different methods that are used in the teaching-learning process
of the English language help the student in the linguistic knowledge that is
necessary to reproduce the language.
AUDIO LINGUAL METHOD
The audio-lingual method is used to improve student's performance
and oral skills. The language exercises in this method are performed
specifically orally without reference to the student's mother tongue so that
30
the student can effectively learn the language skills of the language being
studied.
Tugrul (2013), the goal of the Audio-Lingual method is, via
teaching vocabulary and grammatical patterns through dialogues, to
enable students to respond quickly and accurately in spoken language.
The dialogues are learnt through repetition and such drills as
repetition, backward build-up, chain, substitution, transformation, and
question-and-answer are conducted based upon the patterns in the
dialogue. (p.64)
Tugrul (2013) reflects on the audio lingual method and indicates that
teaching through this system improves the vocabulary and different
grammatical guidelines needed for dialogue, so that the student can quickly
and accurately respond to the concerns that arise.
This is indicated by Connor (2014) when referring to the audio lingual
method, “Most teachers will at some point require learners to repeat
examples of grammatical structures in context with number of aims in mind:
stress, rhythm, intonation, ‘consolidating the structure’, enabling learners to
use the structure accurately through repetition, etc. Question and answer in
open class or closed pairs to practise a particular form can also be argued
to have its basis in the audio-lingual approach, as can, without doubt, any
kind of drill.”
For Connor, the use of the audio lingual method in classes allows
students to use the grammatical structure of the language accurately by
means of repetition exercises, improving the accentuation, rhythm and
intonation of the words .
In addition to this, in English classes teachers can use the audio
lingual method to perform individual or group activities that encourage
31
students to express their own ideas through speech. (Llach, 2014)
On the other hand, Nunan (2011) is of the opinion that Audio-Lingual
method “has probably had a greater impact on second and foreign language
teaching than any other method. It was, in fact, the first approach which
could be said to have developed a ‘technology’ of teaching and based on
‘scientific’ principles”
For Nunan, the audio-lingual method is very important in foreign
language teaching because it is based on hearing and repeating words,
making the student familiar with the environment and sound of the words,
managing to capture the message quickly and allowing the expression
answers instantly. (Ramos, 2014)
COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING
The teaching and subsequent learning of language is commonly
determined through the teaching approach that must be directed or defined
as a group of practices that are done in the classroom.
Richards (2006) “It is based on the theory that the primary function
of language use is communication. Its primary goal is for learners to develop
communicative or simply put communicative ability. In other words, its goal
is to make use of real-life situations that necessitate communication.” (p.5)
For Richards the communicative method relies on the main function
of language is communication. In this way, the main purpose is that students
develop communicative skills through the different situations that happen in
the daily life and can relate or communicate by speaking. (Sedita, 2005)
In the same way, when the person speaks with other people, he / she
exercises the fluency of the language, so it indicates Richards (2006)
Fluency is natural language use occurring when a speaker engages in
meaningful interaction and maintains comprehensible and ongoing
32
communication despite limitations in his or her communicative competence.
Fluency is developed by creating classroom activities in which students
must negotiate meaning, use communication strategies, correct
misunderstandings, and work to avoid communication breakdowns. (P.15)
Through the exercise of speech the student can practice the fluency
of the language, maintaining conversations or interactions comprehensible
and in a continuous way knowing the flaws and limitations that it has in the
communicative competence. Similarly, the teacher should perform various
exercises or activities that help students improve the communicative
process and at the same time correct the faults that occur at the time of
interacting.
Richards (2006) points out that the type of classroom activities
proposed in CLT also implied new roles in the classroom for teachers and
learners. Learners now had to participate in classroom activities that were
based on a cooperative rather than individualistic approach to learning.
Students had to become comfortable with listening to their peers in group
work or pair work tasks, rather than relying on the teacher for a model. They
were expected to take on a greater degree of responsibility for their own
learning. And teachers now had to assume the role of facilitator and monitor.
Rather than being a model for correct speech and writing and one with the
primary responsibility of making students produce plenty of error-free
sentences, the teacher had to develop a different view of learners’ errors
and of her/his own role in facilitating language learning. (p.28)
The author of the prior lines indicates that the activities carried out in
the classroom when using the communicative method involve the active
participation of the students and the teacher. In this way, the teacher is not
only the model or to whom they only listen or follow but must interact,
cooperate between work colleagues or work group assuming a high
percentage of responsibility in learning and fluency of the language.
(TESOL, 2012)
33
Through the communicative method, the student finds an important
tool to develop the fluency of the English language because it allows the
permanent practice of the words and also allows differentiating the errors of
the pronunciation and also allows making the respective correction of the
same. (Llach, 2014)
For this reason, the use of the communicative method is of great help
to the language student because it provides them with the necessary help
so that they can create meanings and not just perfect grammatical
structures. (Mart, 2013)
DIDACTIC FOUNDATION
Perez (2006), nowadays, everyone agrees on the importance of
speaking and the need for talking education that allows students to learn in
an autonomous and permanent way, to facilitate the ethical existence
comprehension, and helps them to understand the world and expand their
cultural horizons. (p.11).
Pérez (2006), remarked that speaking is not only a skill that
encourages in students the possibility of accessing new cultures, knowledge
or cultivate intelligence but also fosters imagination and thinking in a critical
way enabling integration with other cultures and also becomes a support In
personal and professional growth. (Sedita, 2005)
PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION
Alejandra (2012) “Learning to speak is the key to success throughout
the school years. That is why it is so important that the phase of introduction
to speaking a positive experience and, above all, to awaken the motivation
of children for knowledge.” (p.7)
Speaking skill has a leading role in the construction and growth of the
character of students because it is part of the daily activity of students.
34
Through communication, students can exchange ideas, thoughts,
experiences and needs with other people around them.
SOCIOLOGICAL FOUNDATION
Lee (2012), "Democratic societies in which we live demand ever
more thoughtful and free citizens of dangerous ideas that could impair its
performance, therefore, we must make talking a permanent habit, turn the
act of speaking a pleasant, rewarding and sharing time”.
Lee mentioned at present, societies need citizens who have clear
and non-dangerous thoughts that violate the good customs so that it is
necessary that the educational systems make profound changes in the
structure and that they realize infrastructures that improve the
communicative quality of the students.

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY DESIGN
Johnson (2012), “The function of a research design is to ensure that
the evidence obtained enables us to answer the initial question as
unambiguously as possible” (P.9)
For Johnson, the use of the methodological design is based on
answering in a clear and precise way the questions that lead the student to
carry out the investigation of a certain subject. The evidence obtained
through the different methods serves to shape the structure of the
investigation and to give veracity to the writing.
TYPES OF RESEARCH
There are different types of research among which are mentioned:
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
Descriptive research allows the recognition of different situations,
customs and attitudes through the activities, processes and people that
predominate in the environment where the study is carried out.
Williams (2011), although some people dismiss descriptive research
as `mere description', good description is fundamental to the research
enterprise and it has added immeasurably to our knowledge of the shape
and nature of our society. Descriptive research encompasses much
government sponsored research including the population census, the
collection of a wide range of social indicators and economic information
such as household expenditure patterns, time use studies, employment and
crime statistics and the like.
37
Williams indicates that descriptive research is not only about
describing the research problem, but also that through it one can know the
different indicators that allow searching for solutions to the problem
presented in the study topic. (Sedita, 2005)
EXPLANATORY RESEARCH
Explanatory investigation is the process that allows describing the
phenomenon that is investigated and also links the causes that form the
problem with the description of the same.
García (2012) “Explanatory research focuses on why questions.
Answering the `why’ questions involves developing causal explanations
which will be simple while others will be more complex.” García indicates
that the explanatory investigation focuses its main point in answering the
questions that allow developing the totality of the investigation. The answers
to these questions range from the simplest to the most complex
explanations of the subjects that are exposed on the causes or situations
that originate the problem.
POPULATION AND SAMPLE
Population and sample are important points that are needed in a
research work because they allow knowing the totality of the population with
which the project is being worked and shows the number of people to whom
it will be specifically surveyed to know the main doubts they have and Look
for the best help mechanism.
POPULATION
Wigodski (2010), is the total set of individuals, objects or measures
that have some common characteristics observable in a place and at a
certain time. When carrying out some research, some essential
38
characteristics should be taken into account when selecting the population
under study.”
Assuming Wigodsky, indications through this statistical mechanism
the investigator allows the totality of individuals or objects to be envisaged
observable in the place where the investigation is realized. On the other
hand, it allows knowing the essential or main characteristics that must be
selected in the population for their respective study.
SAMPLE
Wigodski (2010), “The sample is a faithfully representative subset of
the population and is indispensable to the researcher since it is impossible
to interview all members of a population due to problems of time, resources
and effort.”
On the other hand, Wigodsky refers that the sample is a certain
amount of general population to which an interview will be conducted that
will allow you to know important aspects that are needed in the research.
This mechanism is indispensable because the researcher can not interview
all the members that make up the general population because this process
would take too much time and resources that would extend the time of the
investigation.
STRATUM
For data collection was used as a tool surveys, using a questionnaire,
information was obtained about the current state of foreign language

RESEARCH METHODS
DEDUCTIVE METHOD
Dávila (2006) “the deductive method is a system that allows to
organize known facts and to extract specific affirmations and conclusions.”
(P.184)
Dávila indicates that the deductive method allows the investigator to
make conclusions or, in turn, affirmations by simply knowing the
antecedents that the study that is being carried out has. In this way, if the
antecedents are real the result of the exploration will also be.
On the other hand, Dávila (2006) points out that the deductive
method "offers resources to unite theory and observation, in addition to
allowing researchers to deduce from the theory the phenomena to be
observed" (p.185) Dávila refers that the use of this method gives the
investigator the possibility of merging the assumptions or ideas with the
visual perception of the problem, managing to deduce the different reasons
that cause or intervene in the problem.
In conclusion, the use of the deductive method in the present
research work will serve the researchers to know and organize the different
concepts and carry out the different actions that allow constituting and
pointing out the true conclusions of the content of the premises. (Ramos I.
M., 2015)
INDUCTIVE METHOD
Dávila (2006) indicates that “the inductive method allows the
investigator to establish general conclusions based on facts collected
through direct observation.” (p.185)
Assuming Davila, (2006) the inductive method allows obtaining
information or knowledge through the direct observation of the medium in
44
which the problem is to perform the collection of particular data that allow to
make generalities that provide a specific conclusion of the elements that
compose the problem.
In addition to this, Dávila (2006) remarks that:
“A new way of finding truth is to look for facts instead of relying on
authority (expert) or mere speculation; over time this attitude would become
the fundamental principle of all sciences.” (p.185-186).
For Dávila, (2006) the use of the inductive method is used in the
investigation to explore the real causes that form the problem and in this
way the researcher can obtain the necessary knowledge to carry out the
development of the scientific or research project without having to use
speculations on the subject. Therefore, the results obtained in this part of
the research will only be absolute when the elements that belong to the
global problem are small.
RESEARCH TECHNIQUES AND INSTRUMENTS
SURVEY
Fundamentals of Survey Research Methodology (2005) article refer
that “a survey is simply a data collection tool for carrying out survey
research.” (p.76)
The survey is a technique that allows the collection of information that
would be used in the investigation and where questions are asked in a
verbal or written form to a specific set of individuals and whose purpose is
to obtain necessary information about the population that is immersed In the
investigative work.
Besides this, the report remarks that “means for gathering
information about the characteristics, actions, or opinions of a large group
of people” (p. 77)
45
Furthermore, survey provides data reliably and accurately
because the answers are limited only to the questions that are posed
and the collection as well as the processing and analysis of the
information is done easily because there is no need for qualified
personnel for the application.
INTERVIEW
Valenzuela and Shrivastava (2013) mentions “interviews are
particularly useful for getting the story behind a participant’s experiences.
The interviewer can pursue in-depth information around the topic. Interviews
may be useful as follow-up to certain respondents to questionnaires, e.g.,
to further investigate their responses.” (Valenzuela & Shrivastava, 2013,
p.15)
For Valenzuela & Shrivastava (2013), the interview allows the
collection of necessary, useful and specific information about the subject
being investigated. It is necessary to formulate and set out certain objectives
that should be related to the environment on which the research work is
carried out.
In conclusion, the interviews are an exchange of perceptions,
concepts or ideas that are given between two or more people through a
conversation in which questions and answers are asked to obtain deep
information about the subject under investigation.
CHI CUADRADA TEST

CONCLUSIONS
Teachers should reflect on the methodological bases and look for
suitable ways to renew internal educational processes. Likewise, the
institution should support initiatives and methodological proposals that
benefit the teaching of English. The analysis of methods and approaches
made it possible to explore the range of ways of teaching a foreign language
(English) a little more. It aims to rescue, in some way, basic functions of the
language (communicate, know, learn, share) that can often be confused.
Field research has shown that there are still traditional forms of
English teaching such as translation or use of Spanish during classes.
These strategic references, little or almost nothing functional, should not be
used if English is taught under a communicative approach. The analysis of
the research reflects that each teacher has a very defined teaching method;
However, you can socialize a multi-method in order to benefit. Therefore, it
is intended to generate debate on the different methodological strategies
that contribute to the development of oral expression.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Evaluate objectively and comprehensively the proposal by virtue of
necessary changes, modifications and adaptations in the pedagogical,
methodological and curricular dimensions. Review, investigate and
constantly contrast methodological forms in the teaching of English for the
design of an own program of studies of the institution;
This will include the development of linguistic and communicative skills
under communicative and functional approaches to the target language.
Design authentic curricular and methodological proposals, flexible to
change without losing the communicative approach of the language. Also,
take as referring to this strategy guide as a summary of experiences Shared.
59
Modify in the short and medium term the logistical, administrative,
and procedures of the institution to facilitate significant changes in the
Didactic (forms of teaching) of English.
It is recommended to replicate the study in the institution, to calculate
a sample greater or failing to use the total population.

CHAPTER IV
THE PROPOSAL
INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES TO BUILD UP VOCABULARY
JUSTIFICATION
One of the main reasons that took to the realization of this project is
due to the necessity of counting with extra activities and motivation that
stimulates both teachers and students to use imagination to create
techniques for developing the skills and better the low scholastic yield in
English learning at “Provincia de Bolivar public high School”
According to the results of the investigation, it was observed that at
first the students showed poor interest in the activities presented by the
teachers, and did not pay attention to the commands given to them.
However, after applying the survey and giving and advance of how the
brochure would be presented, they claimed in acceptance the necessity of
counting on new strategies to learn English. With the former background, it
is assumed that this proposal is justified since this is a good way to
contribute with the improvement of the students’ skills in the English
learning.
The lack of strategies to deal with vocabulary is necessary to be
applied for the students, because they grow with strains, in the moment of
speaking or establishing a conversation. With the application of this strategy
exposed in this proposal, the students will increase their motivation and
enthusiasm when learning English. This technique will become of great aid
for the learning of English, helping both teachers and students achieve a
positive change in their school yield.
61
The beneficiaries of this proposal are the students who will be able
to develop their English skills using innovative techniques by using routine
vocabulary to ease their learning in the way that they will not be involved in
sophisticated vocabulary that by the way it will be presented after the
students are hooked in the enthusiasm of learning.
Consequently, the institution will get more prestige, since this
educational project was performed in the classrooms and will be positively
reflected in the way English is going to be taught.
Finally, teachers will take part within this new innovative material
available designed to help students improve their English speaking skills
and their overall performance inside the classroom. Moreover, with the
implementation of this proposal, the student’s learning possibilities will have
incidence in the community per-se.
OBJECTIVE GENERAL
To apply new teaching techniques for improving the assimilation of
vocabulary in order to help students develop their skills.
OBJECTIVES SPECIFICS:
To increase participative activities so the students can distinguish
vocabulary to work within the skills
To achieve integral vocabulary learning to enable the students
sustains a basic conversation and so develops the speaking skills.
Determine that proposal herewith did have its effect in the motivation
for increasing vocabulary of the students.
62
FEASIBILITY
Human Feasibility
This proposal is feasible due to the support of the school authority,
teachers, parents and other members of the educative community, in a
special way, for the collaboration of the students who have been truly leaded
to take part of this rehearsal as a beginning of new changes in the future.
That is to say, that it has had the essential human resources to reach a
solution for the problem, reason of this study.
Financial Feasibility
We also have the financial resources required to develop the guide
with the assistance of the people who have contributed with the application
of this proposal. Since this work was primarily theoretical, it has not had the
necessity of investing no more than human talent from whom we have taken
advantage. Despite the expenses such as photocopies, transportation,
papers, and other minimal ones, it has not been a taken as a great expense.
Technical Feasibility
As far as this work took shape, technology was at hand all the time,
it permitted to get through the many wonders of how education can be held.
Teaching techniques for improving the assimilation of routine vocabulary is
important in the same way as strategies that are used for establishing a
model of how to be taught a subject.
Within techniques and technology, this work can be the best option
for the students, so with the support of authorities and parents as main
characters of this process, the students will have a total approach of learning
the English language.
63
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
This proposal consists of the design of a guide with interactive activity
techniques whose main purpose is to encourage the students to learn in a
very different way that will help them improve their skills and so their
scholastic achievement in the subject. Since it is aimed in highlighting the
assimilation of the use of interactive techniques, it will give the students an
idea of how to use them through the assimilation of vocabulary and so
increase their level of interacting properly.
This project will be carried out from November 25th to January 24th of
the present school year. It will be performed in the students of 8th grade at
Provincia de Bolivar public high School.
This work has been developed with the researcher´s material and
with the guidance of the class teacher and the participation of all the
students. With this, the students will improve their skills through the
application of a guide with interactive techniques that will help them to
improve, understand and increase their dexterities in learning the new
Language.
The proposal will be carried out on three different moments.
Phase I
Presentation of the proposal, with the activities and units that will be
held for the purpose of giving the teacher and students confidence in the
realization of the exercises and activities.
Phase II
Execution of the proposal, where the students will take constantly part of
the drills and activities that will promote the improvement of the students
and the control of their capacities.
64
Phase III
Evaluation of the proposal, since activities must be assessed, it is important
to have a clear idea of the results by evaluating the students after every
activity.
PEDAGOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Sociological Aspects
The social life aspect in the educative system is considered as active
element around the world, but with different challenges in it, such as social
conditions and economic policies.
Pedagogical aspects
Our proposal will help the teachers in the educational field to get
better results in the learning process of the English foreign language and
improve the learning in all the aspects. This proposal is significant on its
pedagogical aspect, because it fulfills the principles of constructivism in
order to facilitate the success of the teaching process. Besides, it contains
interactive activities that can be used as didactic material with the purpose
of achieving the significative learning in an easier way.
Teachers should continue applying vocabulary learning in English
classes to increase the students´ possibilities and abilities to provide
interactive and high-quality classes to the students. (H.C., 2016)
Psychological aspects
It was very important to influence the students with positivism ,
through the advices and direct contemplation of their necessities during the
first month, which helped to the adaptation of the work place that was
reflected on the students’ pronunciation and the incensement of their
65
vocabulary As teachers, we everyday interact with students sharing time
with them and helping them acquire new knowledge, we get involved with
children and we have the responsibility to influence them positively, giving
our advices, encouragement and comforting them.
By providing an environment where significant learning can be achieved
and by making children have a good time while learning, the students will
be able to leave aside their necessities and difficulties in life and put all their
effort in their studies, so it can be reflected in the scholastic
accomplishment.
CONCLUSION
To keep constant motivation on the students to elevate their self-
esteem and improve their assimilation of the English not only as a second
language but as very part of themselves.
Since this project is headed to develop the English learning process
in this institution, the mission of it consists of stimulating the students´
abilities every time in the English term.
The directive of the institution and the teacher staff are focused on
the idea of reinforcing children’s values and knowledge in order to provide
integral education.
For this purpose, they wish to establish the development of critical
thinking, responsibility and discipline, as life-long tools for their personal
success that will help them build an ethic society with fair opportunities for
everybody.
We believe that our proposal is framed in the institution’s policies
because it will help reinforcing the students’ knowledge while improving their
values and opportunities in life.
