Sistema de actividades didácticas relacionadas con el uso de palabras de enlace para mejorar la producción de párrafos escritos en inglés

Abstract

In the academic training process, it is essential to cultivate competencies that allow students to interpret their literary production effectively. Undoubtedly, one of the keys to discourse cohesion lies in the ability to link the different sentences that make up a text, establishing coherent relationships between its ideas. In this context, linking words are crucial elements to mark the type of relationship between sentences and, consequently, to facilitate their comprehension. The study aims to improve students' written production in the sixth semester of the Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages degree at the Technical University of Machala during the 2023-1 academic period. This will be achieved through the implementation of an activity system designed to promote the effective use of linking words in writing. To achieve the objective of this research, a qualitative study carried out with a non-experimental action research design. The study population will be composed of 30 high school students. Therefore, at the research level, theoretical and empirical methods will be used, as well as sustainable techniques to measure the scope of this work such as: survey, non-participant observation and content analysis.
