Caracterización de un ambiente de aprendizaje en la adquisición de la competencia de comunicación oral en inglés de estudiantes de grado 10° de una IE privada.

Abstract

In many private institutions, despite having technological resources, adequate infrastructure, and curricula that promote bilingualism, high school students continue having difficulty expressing themselves orally in English. This situation reflects a possible mismatch between the learning environment and the development of communicative competencies. In response to this challenge, the present project aims to examine how school environment factors influence the acquisition of oral competence in English. Specifically, it seeks to identify the physical, pedagogical, and emotional components of the English classroom, explore teachers’ and students’ perceptions of oral language teaching, and suggest methodological adjustments aligned with the characteristics of the educational setting. The research is based on a qualitative descriptive approach, which seeks to understand phenomena in their natural context through the voices of the actors involved. The population consists of 234 high school students, from which a sample of 28 students from grade 10°D was selected using simple random sampling, ensuring representativeness and reducing potential bias. In conclusion, this study intends to provide a comprehensive characterization of the learning environment that will strengthen oral competence in English, serving as a valuable input to improve pedagogical processes in private school contexts.
