Abstract

The main objective of this research work is to determine the influence of rhymes in the development of speaking skill in second grade students of basic education at Unidad Educativa “Dario Guevara”. For the development of the research, a pre-experimental design was used for a group of 6 students. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the study was carried out virtually through the Zoom and Microsoft Teams platforms with a duration of 4 weeks. To achieve the objective of this work, the students took a pre and post – test from Cambrigde that evaluated 3 criteria: vocabulary, pronunciation, and interaction. At the beginning of the pre-experiment, the students obtained an average of 2,49 over 5 points. While after having carried out the pre-experiment, 3,77 over 5 points were obtained. In this way, the effectiveness of the pre - experiment was evidenced. In the same way the statistics results show that the p-value is ,009, this result is lower than the significance 0,05. This means that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted that is Rhymes influence in the development of Speaking skill.
