Abstract
To communicate orally in the English language is a great necessity to people all over the world, so the knowledge of this language is highly pertinent for teenage students in the city of Esmeraldas in Ecuador, because of the necessity to communicate with other people for the fact that this is a touristic city, also the very many opportunities given to them in offering jobs, so it is a very difficult task for teachers of high schools to have them highly motivated. A design of investigation is presented, using theoretical and empirical methods, which easily permitted to determine the theoretical background which supported it. The diagnosis allowed to corroborate the scientific problem of the investigation, which was the lack of motivation to learn English of tenth basic year students from Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional Salesiana “María Auxiliadora“, in the city of Esmeraldas in Ecuador, which reflected the low linguistic level they have when they go to universities. These aspects are of a great importance to transform the teaching-learning process, to have 10th level students from the school already mentioned more motivated, so as to get a proper level of oral communication in English and orient the present investigation to elaborate a set of exercises teachers should use in order to get an adequate communication in the students, to foster significant learning which was revealed in the use of different activities such as linguistic games, exercises for the integration of abilities and those for developing abilities in isolation, to get students learn the language significantly and to foster values. The critical evaluation of the results permitted to know the effectiveness of the exercises planned which was evident when transformations and changes occurred in the students’ behavior in respect to the quality of the learning process and the level of motivation in the development of oral language.
