Abstract
Este trabajo de investigación examina el desarrollo del speaking de los estudiantes de la 'Unidad Educativa Rumipamba', centrándose en la identificación de áreas de debilidad y sugiriendo actividades útiles para mejorar las habilidades de expresión oral en la lengua inglesa. La importancia de esta investigación radica en la necesidad de fortalecer las destrezas de comunicación de los estudiantes, especialmente en las zonas rurales donde el acceso a los recursos educativos es limitado, por ejemplo: altavoces, libros, proyector, internet, tarjetas didácticas; además, las oportunidades de interactuar con la lengua inglesa pueden ser muy escasas fuera de la clase. Según la información recolectada de distintos sitios web, tesis, e investigaciones, la falta de recursos y la escasez de maestros de inglés, hacen que los estudiantes de escuelas rurales tengan pocas oportunidades para mejorar su desenvolvimiento oral. Estas dificultades obstaculizan las perspectivas académicas y de carrera de los estudiantes desembocando en deficiencias notables en su competencia en el idioma inglés. El objetivo principal de este estudio es analizar las falencias de competencia oral del idioma inglés que existen entre los estudiantes en las escuelas rurales y sugerir un conjunto de actividades que ayuden en el desenvolvimiento del idioma inglés, ofreciendo sugerencias prácticas que mejoren la competencia lingüística y la confianza de estos estudiantes al hablar inglés en contextos cotidianos, con un conocimiento de las necesidades y desafíos únicos que enfrentan. Esta investigación emplea un enfoque mixto, combinando metodologías tanto cualitativas como cuantitativas. La recopilación de datos implica el uso de encuesta con preguntas dirigidas a los docentes y fichas de observación para reunir información completa sobre los niveles actuales de la competencia oral de los estudiantes y su desempeño en el aula, considerando su participación durante las clases de inglés.
