El podcast como recurso didáctico para la mejora de la comprensión auditiva del idioma inglés

Abstract

The objective of this study is to improve listening comprehension of the English language through the application of an exercise system using the podcast as a teaching resource in class. The methodology used in the research follows a qualitative paradigm with an action-research approach, for which a descriptive design was used. For the development of the research, methods corresponding to the theoretical level were used for the foundation and analysis of the information and methods of the empirical level for the collection of data such as participant observation, pedagogical test and interview. The study population was constituted by the students of the third year of the Unified General Baccalaureate of the “Dr. José Ochoa León” High School in Pasaje City. Based on the results of the initial diagnosis, a system of exercises was developed to work in a practical way in classes so that students can develop their cognitive skills and acquire greater dexterity when working on listening activities. The exercise system made it possible to determine the usefulness of the podcast tool as a didactic resource for learning English, specifically in the linguistic domain of the language.
