    Authentic audiovisual material for English oral expression development
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Dirección de Posgrado. Maestria en la Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés como Lengua Extranjera, 2019-02) Manzano Pérez, Rodrigo Javier; Vera de la Torre, Ana Jazmina
    The work presented below has been focused on evaluating oral expression as a result of exposure to authentic audiovisual material in the First-Year students of Unified General Baccalaureate of the Unidad Educativa "Rumiñahui" of Ambato, in Tungurahua province. With the help of a pre-test as an assessment instrument, the data collection was done and, in this way, it was evident the lack of use of authentic audio-visual material within classrooms to promote the development of oral expression in students. The results were analyzed with the T-student statistical test to check the validation of the hypothesis. A population of 52 students were considered and the present research was carried out demonstrating that authentic audiovisual material provides a better practice of oral expression, 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 that includes the application of authentic audiovisual material within the class to improve oral expression. The methodological guide, in addition, includes a rubric of evaluation of the activities and thus to verify the advance of the students. This is why, based on the results, the use of authentic audiovisual material is suggested to reinforce oral expression.

    Quizlet app and the English language vocabulary learning.
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Dirección de Posgrado. Maestria en la Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés como Lengua Extranjera, 2018-12) Zambrano Acosta, Elizabeth Jaqueline; Encalada Trujillo, Edgar Guadia
    This research work focused on the vocabulary as the main factor for the English as foreign language learning and production applied to the twelfth and thirteenth BGU levels at Unidad Educativa Cusubamba during the academic year 2017 – 2018. The theoretical framework was centered on Quizlet Application, English teaching technology strategies and tools, ICTs (Information and communication Technologies) in education, English vocabulary, English language levels and components, English language teaching, and learning process. The investigative work was developed through a documentary – bibliographic investigation with a descriptive point of view, based on the quasi-experimental, quali-quantitative paradigm on which a pre-test and post-test were applied to two groups of students. One group was considered the control group and the other the experimental group. As a result, it was possible to identify the students’ deficient English vocabulary level. However, after applying the Quizlet technology tool to the experimental group and evaluating them for the second time, it was possible to appreciate that they undoubtedly developed their English vocabulary level. On the other hand, the students from the control group who continued working with the traditional methods stayed in the same level. Consequently, it was possible to conclude that the integration of Quizlet technology tool in vocabulary learning significantly increased the students’ lexicon level as well as their English language performance.
