The communicative language teaching to enhance the English oral proficiency
Palabras clave:
communicative Language Teaching, Oral Proficiency in English, Pedagogical Strategies in English, Oral Practice in Real ContextsResumen
Introduction: The study analyzes the implementation of communicative methodologies in English teaching at the Universidad Técnica de Manabí and their impact on students' oral proficiency. Its objective is to identify deficiencies in oral communication in English and propose pedagogical strategies to improve this skill within the Ecuadorian educational context. Materials and methods: Through a mixed-methods approach, structured surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted to analyze students' perceptions and experiences. The results show that students face significant challenges such as the tendency to think in Spanish, the use of translators, and a lack of confidence, which limit their oral fluency despite the implementation of conversational activities and technological tools. The discussion highlights the importance of creating inclusive environments, reducing reliance on translation, and promoting greater linguistic immersion. In conclusion, it is recommended to increase opportunities for interaction with native speakers and develop pedagogical strategies that foster active participation and overcome emotional and cognitive barriers to optimize students' oral English proficiency.
