Item The sensory scaffolding and its impact on the teaching - learning process of the English language in the students(2021-04-01) Quilapanta Unapucha, Sandra Mariela; Escalante Gamazo, Marbella CumandáThis research is focused on the analysis of the impact of sensory scaffolding on the development of the vocabulary of the English language in 9th grade students of EGB of Unidad Educativa "San José de Poaló". This study was based on a quantitative approach that included the collection, analysis and interpretation of data obtained. Likewise, a quasi-experimental design was implemented. In the same way, this research was bibliographic since the variables were supported by previous studies. It was also an exploratory study since it tried to discover the reasons why the students did not have enough vocabulary in English. The population consisted of 20 students of 9th grade. The data was collected through the application of a survey to the participants to identify the most appropriate activities based on sensory scaffolding supports to implement them in the English class. The questionnaire was applied in an online modality; the survey consisted of ten questions related to the variables analyzed in the study. In the same way, a pre-test was applied to measure the vocabulary level of the students. The pre-test contained fifty-two words, which were considered relevant since they were part of daily life conversation topics. After applying the pre-test, the sensory scaffolding activities were applied in the English lessons to teach specific vocabulary according to the students’ academic level. Once the activities were completed, a post-test was applied to identify if there was any increase in the students' vocabulary level. These data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the hypothesis verification made it possible to ensure that in the experimental group a significant increase in the average of the post-test was observed, in this way it was possible to confirm the alternative hypothesis: The use of sensory scaffolding strategies allows the development of vocabulary among 9th grade students.Item Cooperative Learning Strategies and the oral production of EFL(2021-04-01) Albán Andocilla, Paola Soraya; Infante Paredes, Ruth ElizabethThe main objective of this research project was to determine the relationship between Cooperative Learning Strategies (CLE) and the oral production of English as a foreign language (EFL) in students from Ambato rural area. This research worked with a population of 49 participants, belonging to range age from 7 a 12 years old. The control group (CG) comprised of 24 students and an experimental group (EG) of 25. EG participants were applied CLE such as Flashcard, Fan-N-Pick y Think-Pair-Share. All the population was evaluated through a Pre and a Post-test from Cambridge with Pre A1 level. Qualitative and quantitative methodology was used in this research since it was necessary to accomplish the proposed objective. Furthermore, experimental designed was used during thirty virtual sessions for a six-week period. Results were gotten according to T de Student demonstrated that the EG improved the oral production of EFL. The oral production elements that were developed were vocabulary from 2.84 ± 0.85 to 3.48 ± 0.71, and pronunciation from 2.72 ± 0.79 to 3.24 ± 0.52; both with a p value of 0.00. In this way, they got a significant value. However, in the interaction part, there was no major change, since the results were from 2.72 ± 0.84 to 3.00 ± 0.91, with a p value of 0.26. Consequently, it was confirmed that cooperative learning strategies influence learners’ oral production of EnglishItem Collaborative learning strategies to promote oral fluency in EFL(2021-04-01) López Martínez, Verónica Lucía; Chimbo Cáceres, Elsa MayorieOne 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
