Implementación de Estrategias de Aprendizaje Móvil y su Efecto en el Desarrollo de Competencias Comunicativas en Inglés en el Instituto de Lenguas Fray Bernardo De Lugo O.P.

Abstract

The increasing technological deployment, accompanied by powerful connectivity to internet networks and even the same variety of tools and mobile equipment, has made it easier for those with these resources to access all kinds of information and knowledge. However, from the academic field, a paradigm worthy of being seen under the magnifying glass of theory and scientific experimentation emerges, and that is to identify how the resources provided by ICTs really support teaching and learning processes in the classroom; and even more, if these resources favor the development of communication skills in English under the mobile learning model. Given the above, this case study, qualitative and descriptive, aims to analyze the effect of the implementation of mobile learning strategies in the development of communication skills in English students at the Santo Tomás University. To achieve this, three important moments were defined. The first moment is to characterize some mobile learning tools such as software applications focused on developing competencies in a foreign language to identify their contributions to the teaching process, this will be done by applying the principles of Bloom's taxonomy. The second moment will be to implement a mobile learning strategy that makes it possible to demonstrate both the use of TACs and their effect. In this phase, data is collected from three sources: 1) Logs that report the use of the mobile tools selected by the research group and the development of the experience. 2) Structured survey through office tools in order to have relevant information on the intervened population. 3) Open interview with a focus group in order to have expanded and detailed information to later triangulate and thus analyze the effect of the implementation of said strategy. Finally, the final document will be prepared in which the project findings will be described.
