APRENDIZAJE BASADO EN TAREAS Y EL DESARROLLO DE LA FLUIDEZ DEL IDIOMA INGLES

espanolLas habilidades o competencias comunicativas sonuna de las cuatro habilidades macro que se desarrollaran como un medio de comunicacion efectiva en contextos de aprendizaje de idiomas. En el entorno pedagogico del ingles como lengua extranjera los docentes de todos los niveles educativos tiendena formularseuna pregunta crucial el ?como desarrollar la destreza oral y la confianza en los estudiantes?Esta preocupacion condujo al diseno dela presente investigacion cuyo objetivo fue analizar la incidencia del aprendizaje basado en tareas en el desarrollo de la fluidez del habla en el idioma ingles. Se trabajo con un pre-test y un post-test para evaluar, tomando en cuenta vocabulario, pronunciacion, fluidez al hablar y uso de la gramatica. Las pruebas se tomaron de la pagina web de Cambridge que consistia en una muestra de la prueba para hablar KET (2019). Dos grupos de estudiantes del II Nivel paralelos K y L fueron seleccionados para la experimentacion en el Centro de Idiomas de la Universidad Tecnica de Babahoyo.Se construyo un programa basado en tareas paraensenar dos unidades del texto correspondientea este nivel. Se administro una prueba de desempeno oral acompanada de una rubrica de evaluacion EnglishCommunication skills are one of the four macro skills that will be developed as an effective means of communication in language learning contexts. In the pedagogical environment of English as a foreign language, teachers at all educational levels tend to ask a crucial question: how to develop oral skills and confidence in students? This concern led to the design of the present investigation whose objective was to analyze the incidence of task-based learning in the development of fluency in English language speech. We worked with a pre-test and a post-test to evaluate, taking into account vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency in speaking and use of grammar. The tests were taken from the Cambridge website which consisted of a sample of the test to speak KET (2019).Two groups of students from II Level “K”and “L”were selected for experimentation at the Language Center of the Technical University of Babahoyo. A task-based program was built to teach two units of the text corresponding to this level. An oral performance test was administered accompanied byan evaluation rubric. Ten students from II level K representing experimental group, how studied two units using the task-based program, while eleven students from II level L represented the control group who studied the same units following traditional techniques. The data were analyzed and the results mentioned that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the subjects in the experimental group and the control group in both the one-way monologue and the two-way dialogue tests in favor of the experimental group. These results support the effectiveness of using task-based learning in teaching English as a foreign language.
