Eclectic method to enhance oral production in elementary students at Unidad Educativa Daniel Reyes, during the academic year 2022-2023

Abstract

The present research aims to study the use of the eclectic method to enhance oral production in elementary students at “Unidad Educativa Daniel Reyes” in San Antonio de Ibarra, Imbabura province, during the academic period 2022 - 2023. Its main objective was to establish the most appropriate strategies based on the eclectic method to enhance oral production in elementary school students at "Unidad Educativa Daniel Reyes". Thus, the information was collected through mixed research applying qualitative and quantitative research methods, in other words, interviews were applied. One was directed towards the vice-principal in charge of the institution, another one to the coordinator and to the elementary teacher of the English area. In the same way a survey intended to students in the fourth-grade students of Educación General Básica (EGB) was conducted. Therefore, it was possible to deduce that the absence of academic resources is an influential factor in the deficient level of English foreign language speaking according to the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR), for which a didactic guide was designed with innovative strategies to motivate students to develop their speaking skills. In this way, it was concluded that students would be willing to learn and improve their language skills to reach the level set by the Ministry of Education if provided with the appropriate and attractive material they aspire to have.
