El fortalecimiento de la producción oral por medio del aprendizaje basado en proyectos haciendo uso de temas de la educación ambiental

Abstract

This research project aimed to analyze the impact of Project-Based Learning at strengthening Oral Production in a group of thirty-five EFL eighth graders while using Environmental Education topics. This project used an action research approach with a qualitative research paradigm. Diaries, surveys, transcripts of students’ oral performance and rubrics were used as instruments to collect data. The data coding obeyed a deductive approach and it was analyzed through Content Analysis Coding. As part of the conclusions, it was determined that there was a neutral impact in students' oral production skill, but particularly positive associated with pronunciation and lexicon. Nonetheless, there is still a lot of work to do inside of the EFL classroom, in order to boost students' skills and improve their education.
