    (2021-04-01) López Martínez, Verónica Lucía; Chimbo Cáceres, Elsa Mayorie
    One of the most common problems that occurs in the English teaching as a foreign language is the low performance of students in oral fluency. This is clearly reflected in the test scores that assess this language ability. This degree work sought to express the results of the learning strategies that can be used to improve the development of oral production. The main objective is to analyze the effects of the application of collaborative learning strategies being one of the factors that are related to the low level of oral fluency. This project is based mainly on the research and selection of collaborative learning strategies to promote an acceptable oral fluency in students from sixth grade at Unidad Educativa “Pichincha”. The study was quasi-experimental with the participation of 36 students from Unidad Educativa “Pichincha'' located in Alobamba- Tisaleo downtown. The researcher randomly divided all the participants into two groups: experimental group and control group. The evaluation instruments were applied to the two groups, the survey served to obtain general information about the two variables. Similarly, the pre - post test and a rubric that evaluates the students' learning criteria. To the experimental group the researcher applied the methodology of the use of collaborative learning strategies for one week, while the control group did not provide any treatment in order to compare the final results of the application of the methodological experiment. In order to analyze the collected data, the researcher used the T-student statistical test. Results showed that the application of collaborative learning strategies increased the level of learning by 58.89%, thus obtaining positive effects on the development of oral fluency as well as collaborative interaction in work groups
