So, this research was conducted with the objective of determining the influence of Spotlight English app and vocabulary development in 3rd BGU students at Unidad Educativa Juan León Mera “La Salle”. Bibliographical research was used to meet the objectives, which served to support each variable through theoretical content. Furthermore, quantitative methodology was used to collected tabulated and analyzed data to obtain a result and sustain the hypothesis of the study. In addition, Quasi-experimental research was applied, in which students were given a pre-test about vocabulary, which helped to identify the vocabulary level of each student. After the pre-test, the students were explained what the application is and how it works, so they adapt with the app, through this explanation it was possible to work correctly in the classes with the use of the app. After that, students were given a post-test to know if through the application the students improved their level of vocabulary.

The results derived generate a difference of 5.82 points of evolution that indicate an improvement in relation between the two tests applied. Finally, the conclusion established that the use of Wannalisn app caused an improvement of the listening skill in the students, demonstrating that it is a fundamental tool for the development of this skill in the students.Item Videogames and oral interaction(Carrera de Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros, 2022-03-01) Nasimba Caisaguano, Bryan Alexander; Sulca Guale, Manuel XavierThis research is aimed to analyze the impact of videogames in the oral interaction of learners from 2nd and 3rd grade of Bachillerato General Unificado from Unidad Educativa “Semillas de Vida” in Latacunga. The research work was pre-experimental with a mixed approach and it was carried out as a qualitative-quantitative study. The experiment was applied to 16 learners. There were a pre-test and a post-test which was scored by an adapted rubric from the Cambridge Assessing Speaking Performance – Level A2. It was a two-part test mainly focused on evaluating the oral interaction of learners by answering questions and describing pictures. Videogames were the main tool during the treatment because of one of its characteristics, the real time interaction; in which learners were encouraged to participate actively to reach a common goal to win a match. Learners were given a set of game-related vocabulary and phrases in order to practice it in the next step of the treatment to reach that goal. Thus, learners were exposed to videogames with the interactive game mechanic in which they had to work collaboratively and use the given vocabulary and phrases to communicate with each other during four weeks Because of that encouragement they had not only to reach a game goal, but also and educational objective, developing a language skill and the ability to interact fluently.

Finally, learners demonstrated an increase in their cognitive abilities at the moment of answering literal, inferential, and evaluative questions and various points of view of the author. Consequently, it can be concluded that the use of mobile applications influenced the development of their reading comprehension when analyzing and understanding complex texts from the ease of their mobile device
