Fortalecimiento de las Destrezas de Comprensión y Producción Oral a Través de la Gamificación en los Estudiantes del Nivel A2 del Programa de Adultos de una Institución Bilingüe de la Ciudad de Buenaventura

Abstract

Learning English has become an effective opportunity in the world of work (Hernández, 2014). However, many, do not achieve improvements in this language, such as A2 level learners of a private institution in Buenaventura, with low performance in oral skills and lack of motivation. This led to think about didactic strategies such as gamification Cabarique (2018) and determine how this, influences the strengthening of these communicative skills. This project proposed, to identify the main cause of the problem as it was, the traditional methodology; to implement activities based on this strategy, to evaluate its relevance, to finally, establish it as a useful and relevant strategy in the strengthening of oral skills in English. The research was carried out under the qualitative approach, under the action-research design. The data obtained were analyzed through the Nvivo program (Delve, 2024). As a result, a more innovative methodology was achieved, with interactive activities, environments and novel resources that fostered better performance in oral skills, retention, appropriation of grammar and vocabulary, collaborative work, motivation and participation. We recommend the application of this strategy to improve in English in any grade, context, age or ability.
