    Task-based approach in the English speaking fluency development
    (Enfoque basado en tareas en el desarrollo de fluidez de habla Inglesa, 2019-11) Ajitimbay Zambrano, Tania Fernanda; Sulca Guale, Manuel Xavier
    The present study is focused on analyzing the incidence of Task-Based Approach concerning the development of speaking fluency in the English language. With the purpose of verifying the effectiveness on English-speaking skills in terms of vocabulary, pronunciation, oral fluency and grammar use, a pre and post-test was carried out to assess the pre-established criteria. The tests were taken from the Cambridge website which consisted of a sample of the speaking skills test KET (2019) and was applied to two groups of 30 students (each) of students at Unidad Educativa Intercultural Bilingue Batalla de Tiocajas, in the city of Guamote. The first group was called the control group and the second group was designated as an experimental group. To test the hypothesis formulated in the research, the results of the Cambridge KET speaking skills test (2019) were statistically analyzed. As a result, the results obtained from these tests indicated that the students who worked with the activity guide markedly improved fluency speaking, compared to the control group which worked with traditional techniques. Therefore, it is important to suggest the implementation of strategies and techniques based on Task-Based Approach, applying an activity guide that promotes a development of fluency and speaking skills in English; This activity guide serves as a pedagogical instrument to support the EFL teacher, by using it as a strategy to develop and improve fluency speaking, and allows students to be participants and protagonists of their own learning.
