Item Project based learning method to develop speaking skill in the students of eight level of San Felipe Neri School September 2018 – January 2019(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Dirección de Posgrado. Maestria en la Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés como Lengua Extranjera, 2019-10) Jaramillo Quinchuela, Gabriela Alexandra; Ortega Andrade, RocíoThe research Project Based Learning (PBL) to improve speaking represents a theoretical-practical solution at the low level of speaking of the students of the eighth level of Unidad Educativa San Felipe Neri (UESFN). The main objective was to determine the influence of PBL on oral communication in English in the classroom. The students worked with systematized projects in a dynamic environment and in a real context to improve the teaching-learning process. It let students improve pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and interaction. An arduous literature review was carried out for the delimitation of the variables and theoretical support. The methods used were analytical, deductive and descriptive. Through a diagnostic test and a rubric (KET) applied at the beginning and end of the period established in the research, the level of speaking of the students was determined. The next step was to inquire about the perception that teachers have about the level of speaking of their students and the way of working with PBL by UESFN teachers. Once the problem was determined, strategies based on PBL were applied that allowed improving the speaking skill. The monitoring of the application of PBL was carried out with an observation guide. The results subject to statistical analysis were positive using the T-student test. It was determined that the experimental group had an improvement of 0.5 more in the average in the total score than the control group. The observation guide showed a gradual improvement after the execution of each one of the four projects performed. In this way the speaking skill in the UESFN students was improved. It is recommended to apply this guide based on PBL and develop new projects with PBL to improve communicative skills.Item Metacognitive strategies in English reading skill development(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Dirección de Posgrado. Maestria en la Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés como Lengua Extranjera, 2019-08) Masabanda Parra, Nelly Jeanette; Silva Chávez, Judith AlexandraThe main goal of this investigation was to analyze the effect of metacognitive strategies to improve the reading skill in English. The methodology used was quasi-experimental, with a pretest-posttest design, with control group and experimental group. Data were collected through a questionnaire and a pretest and posttest. The sample consisted of 54 students, the 27 students of Class A and the 27 students of Class B. The Class A was designed as the control group and did not receive any treatment while The Class B was designed as the experimental group and received the treatment with metacognitive strategies. The pedagogical intervention consisted in the implementation of 6 metacognitive strategies supported in three processes: before, during and after the reading. According to the chi-square value obtained from the data, it was observed that, for a confidence level of 0.99, the value of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, therefore the use of metacognitive strategies enhances the development of the reading skill in Ninth year graders at Unidad Educativa “Julio Enrique Fernández” in Ambato-Ecuador. The proposal was implemented during 6 weeks. A different strategy was applied once a week with the support of the classroom teacher.
