Abstract

The present work raises its research in the dissemination of Ecuadorian Sign Language, which had as main objective to develop an audiovisual educomunicacional proposal to promote the learning of this language, therefore several methods and research techniques were used as, literature review, to contextualize the problem based on research already done and consolidate theoretical bases, interviews were conducted with experts in the area of audiovisual production, to know the structure of an educational audiovisual, in the same way a professional in the area of sign language, to know the pedagogical implementation to teach LSEC. Content analysis was also implemented with the purpose of knowing how educational videos are currently structured, with which three YouTube channels were analyzed, which are dedicated to the creation and dissemination of content on sign language, finally a focus group was applied, which served to diagnose the problem and deal with a solution. In order to guarantee the diffusion of sign language to a wide public and taking into consideration that sign language is a learning process that can be understood through practice, it was decided to work with the FUDESO foundation, which is a non-profit organization with a social purpose. In the first instance, the foundation's collaborators lacked knowledge or first contact with the "Ecuadorian Sign Language"; however, through the educommunicative product, it was possible to establish the basis for the continuous preparation about this language. The study allowed to know that an educommunicative audiovisual in microcapsules format is a viable idea to promote the interest and learning of sign language, not only in foundations, but to any person who is interested in being a participant of an inclusive communication.
