De impostores a hablantes competentes: EVA gamificado para potenciar el speaking en inglés

Abstract

The present thesis was conducted under the deepening modality and aimed to determine the impact of a gamified virtual learning environment (VLE) on the development of English speaking skills in third-grade students at the Colegio Internacional Camino a la Cima. For this purpose, the educational platform "Discovering the Impostor!" was designed, validated, implemented, and evaluated based on the ADDIE instructional design model. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected according to the mixed-method research approach and the established analysis categories. The findings revealed that the pedagogical proposal positively impacted the participants' oral communication skills and it also increased their motivation and commitment to learning this foreign language.
