The incidence of active learning on the level of speaking skill development in students attending the tenth year at educational unit INMACULADA during the third trimester, 2008 - 2009

Abstract

The English language is considered as one of the most important language around the world for this reason it has become very necessary in our daily life, however it not always easy to develop this language as well. Many students point English as a very hard language; it is because into my little experience as a teacher I realized that students do not practice the language in their classrooms because they are not encouraged to do it; finding Speaking a very hard time when they have to do it. But they can learn English and any subjects they want if they are involved into a good teaching and learning strategy or method. After I talked to them and remembering how I was taught English so, I decided to choose ¿The incidence of active learning method to students of third year of basic education¿ as my thesis project. It is quasi- experiment and quantitative research that took place at educational unit INMACULADA applying a Pre and posttest in order to obtain reliable information that was used to accomplish the objectives of this research. The information obtained determined the students could learn better English using the different activities that active learning involves, they really started speaking into the classroom without any fear to make a mistake or be embarrassed at pronunciation or fluency.
