Multimedia elements in the listening skill comprehension in students of superior education.

Abstract

This investigation is derived from the need to improve the listening comprehension in students of the Francisco de Orellana Technological Institute, through the implementation of the use of a platform where students can perform selected tasks using audio-video resource. The education in this institution requires more technological implements, since; the English learning process requires transformative methods for efficient listening comprehension. Currently, technological tools are valuable resources to achieve a high level of listening comprehension. This qualitative-proactive research describes the qualities of the phenomenon. This investigation showed that the usual methods make the English classes does not significant and they become unattractive for the students, causing difficulties in the listening comprehension. The operationalization of variables based on a theoretical framework and the information collected from the students gave the basis to propose an on-line platform which contains listening activities to be developed by teachers and students everywhere as well as the results of the Pre-test have shown the need to find a solution to the problem for improving the listening comprehension of English language in the students of superior education. After the researcher‟s treatment, it was demonstrated that the use of multimedia elements through an on-line platform helped to improve the students‟ listening comprehension. This proposal will surely awaken interest in studying this foreign language and it will allow achieving meaningful learning in an effective way.
