Audiovisual resources to improve oral communication

Abstract

This thesis focuses on improving oral communication in English through audiovisual resources, such as podcasts and videos. Following a quantitative perspective under an experimental design, the lack of communicative ability in English of the 28 students of the First Year of the Unified General Parallel Baccalaureate J of the Nueve de Octubre High School is addressed. Theoretical methods were used to substantiate the object of study, and empirical methods were used to obtain results that detail the student level. First, a pre-test was carried out to identify the level and skills that the students have to function in communication, and then a system of classes was carried out with the use of videos and podcasts to strengthen the weaknesses found in different English skills. Finally, a post-test was carried out to verify the process of improvement of the students' oral communication in English
