Some students have a lot to say, but find it difficult to plan, organize and express their ideas meaningfully. Teachers should apply innovative writing strategies to motivate students to develop their writing creatively and properly. Thus, the current research sought to shed light on the effectiveness of using Role, Audience, Format and Topic strategy and the development of students’ writing skill in students of the third semester of Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros program. A preexperimental research was executed with one group of 36 students as population which took a survey of 11 multiple questions aimed to analyze students’ current writing situation, and a pre-test and post-test from Preliminary English test (PET) by Cambridge to analyze the student’s writing skill performance before and after the application of Role, Audience, Format, and Topic strategy. The results revealed that there was a progress on students’ writing performance and they are argued in the conclusions of the present research workItem Educational cartoons and vocabulary learning(Carrera de Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros, 2022-03-01) Ruiz Calle, Janneth Michelle; Parra Gavilanez, Lorena FernandaA cartoon is a simple, funny drawing of the things people see in everyday life, with lots of bright colors. They are usually printed in newspapers, comic books, or on television. However, cartoons are used as a teaching aid. The poor vocabulary development of the English language was the problem of this research. The main objective was to describe how Educational Cartoons enhance the English Vocabulary Learning of the sixth grade of basic education at the Escuela Particular Los Sauces which is composed of 27 students and 3 English teachers as the total population. A quantitative-qualitative approach (mixed approach) was carried out since it was necessary to investigate the subject, variables, and show the results that were found in the research. As a result, it was evident that the use of educational cartoons when teaching vocabulary allowed students to be more focused, attentive, and retain more of what was taught in class, thus increasing the number of words learned. It can be concluded that the use of educational cartoons as a strategy improved the students' vocabulary skills since the use of bright images and flashy sounds helped the students learn. On the other hand, it was shown that teachers did not use educational cartoons for vocabulary teachingItem Short videos and vocabulary learning(Carrera de Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros, 2022-03-01) Paz Arcos, Denis Lisbed; Calero Sánchez, Ximena AlexandraThe use of short videos is an innovative learning strategy to learn English as a foreign and second language.
