Abstract

This research focuses on the application of the oral presentation strategy to develop verbal fluency in seventh-grade students at the “Eduardo Samaniego” Basic Education School. This study is relevant for strengthening oral expression, as the predominance of written activities limits students' communicative development. Its contribution lies in demonstrating how oral presentations promote verbal fluency within the educational process. The general objetive was to determine the contribution of the oral presentation strategy to the development of verbal fluency in seventh-grade students at the “Eduardo Samaniego” Basic Education School during the 2025-2026 academic year. The research was conducted within the Social and Educational Behavior research line, employing a mixed-methods approach, a pre-experimental design, and an exploratory, descriptive, and applied level. The methodology included both bibliographic and field research, and the sample consisted of 11 seventh-grade students and one Language and Literature teacher. Data collection techniques included a semi-structured interview with the teacher, using a six-question guide to explore oral presentation strategies, and a pre-test and post-test to evaluate student performance, assessed using a checklist. The study concludes that the oral presentation strategy significantly contributes to strengthening verbal fluency by promoting clarity and confidence in how students organize and communicate their ideas.
