    (Carrera de Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros, 2022-03-01) Ruiz Calle, Janneth Michelle; Parra Gavilanez, Lorena Fernanda
    A 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 teaching

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación-Carrera de Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Exranjeros, 2021-03-01) Li Gavilanes, Jiasi Leticia; Chicaiza Redín, Verónica Elizabeth
    Group work activities nowadays are a tool that helps develop all the receptive and productive English language skills, including writing ability. This research was developed with the aim to determine the relationship between group work activities and written ability in students of the sixth semester of Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages of the Technical University of Ambato. To demonstrate the effectiveness of these activities, a Cambridge pre-test and post-test were applied. The group work activities were applied according to the level of the students, their age, and their preferences. The results varied in the research; it was established that the students at the beginning of the research did not have a good written level in Organization and Communicative Achievement according to the Rubric but eventually, they improved as group work activities were adapted. An improvement in the writing level was found through essays, argumentative paragraphs, and opinions. Group work activities varied from pair work, group work and the intervention of the entire class. Students who had a low level were able to engage in group work activities positively with peers whose level was higher or regular. In addition, communication within the classroom was improved, the students were more open to asking questions or expressing their opinions with much more confidence than at the beginning of the experiment. The results obtained with the post-test helped to confirm the advantages of applying varied group work activities according to Content and Language (Annex 1).
