Maestria en la Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés como Lengua Extranjera, 2019-09) Santamaría Serrano, Jorge Santiago; Sulca Guale, Manuel XavierThis research work was focused on evaluating oral interaction as a result of exposure to intensive reading material in the Fourth semester students of Escuela Politécnica Superior de Chimborazo of Riobamba, Chimborazo. A pre-test as an assessment instrument was applied, the data collection was done and, so, it was evident the lack of use of intensive reading material within classrooms to promote the development of oral interaction in students. The results were analyzed using T-student statistical test to check the validation of hypothesis. A population of 25 students was considered and the present research was carried out demonstrating that intensive reading provides a better practice of oral interaction, promoting the communicative process of students in the English language. The result was 3.75. Due to this very favorable result, this study concluded in the creation of a methodological guide including the application of intensive reading material within the class to improve oral interaction. The methodological guide also includes a rubric for evaluating activities and thus to verify the advance of the students. This is why, the use of intensive reading material is suggested to reinforce oral interaction based on the results.Item Authentic audiovisual material for English oral expression development(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.

Dirección de Posgrado. Maestría en Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés como Lengua Extranjera, 2018-07) Gómez Reyes, Andreína Alexandra; Encalada Trujillo, Edgar GuadiaThe development of oral communicative competence has been of great importance in EFL instruction, because after all, the most effective way to communicate is through speech. However, the results of students in speaking is usually poor due to many factors, such as the difficulty practicing this skill. Therefore, the communicative competence in most students needs improvement. One way to help students develop their oral communicative competence effectively is through the use of mobile applications, since they can easily be used inside and outside the classroom. The present research is focused on the use of “English Listening and Speaking App” to develop the oral communicative competence, in which a quasi-experiment was applied to students of B1+ intermediate level of the open courses of Universidad Técnica de Ambato. The purpose of the study was to prove the efficacy of “English Listening and Speaking app” in the oral communicative competence. A pre-test and a post-test were applied to a control and experimental group, while the experimental group used the mobile application in some interactive activities in and out the class during the process to test the hypothesis. xvi The statistical analysis of the results showed the efficacy of “English Listening and Speaking App” in improving the oral communicative competence of students in the experimental group. The outcome of the T test ended up in a result of 0,004. Due to this favorable result, this study resulted in the creation of a methodological guide of interactive and communicative activities based on the elements of “English Listening and Speaking App.” Those activities intend to help learners develop their communicative competence efficiently and effectively. In addition, the methodological guide also includes different ways to assess those activities and prove students´ development.
