Activities system using auditory stimulation techniques to improve listening skills

Abstract

The teaching of English in Ecuador presents many challenges among which is the constant struggle of teachers to optimize the ability of listening in students. For this reason, this research focuses on the problems that hinder the development of this skill in second-grade students, parallel A of the OE School. Hence, we propose a system of activities through the use of auditory stimulation techniques, so that students can strengthen their listening skills in English classes. This research is oriented towards the quantitative paradigm with an experimental design because it is intended to examine the progress in strengthening the students' listening skills. In addition to testing the hypothesis proposed through the collection of statistical data and knowing the effects of applying the variables, through the use of the pedagogical test, previously adapted to the academic plan and applied to the 26 students in the classroom. The problems of the object of study were evidenced, such as the students do not identify the basic vocabulary in English when playing audio, the students are not interested in listening and repeating the pronunciation of the words, there being few ludic activities during the English classes, the teacher does not take into account the level of the students when planning the activities. Therefore, this system includes combined activities that seek to promote the development of listening skills, providing fun and confidence to the student to achieve a good result in English classes while putting into practice the teaching of the language.
