Resumen
Speaking is considered to be one of the hardest abilities to master when
learning a foreign language, and English is no exception. The main goal of this
research project is to identify the influence of the speaking components that
affect verbal communication on second baccalaureate students from the
Unidad Educativa Santa Ana (UEPSA). The study has both quantitative, and
qualitative instruments, including an interview and two diagnostic tests, that
will allow a greater outlook on the factors that play a part in the student’s
speaking abilities. Through the analysis of the data obtained it is possible to
state that the components of speaking affect the English oral production of the
students. Other findings reveal that most of the students present issues in
vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension, likewise, introversion, studentteacher ratio, and time also play a role in the student’s performance. To tackle
these factors, a proposal that recommends the use of debates to improve
verbal communication has been developed.
