| dc.description.abstract | With the purpose to know the contribution of the College Horizons Programme to the Senior High School Chachi and Afro students’ development of the English language communicative competence, a qualitative-quantitative research was done in the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador in Esmeraldas, with the use of the methods of analysis, synthesis and hermeneutics, and the techniques of documentary review, survey and observation guide. The research was carried out from January to September of 2018. Examination comparisons were made to the 15 Chachi and Afro students of the programme which consisted of all the exams the students took in the programme till they got the A2 level. On the other hand, the surveys were applied to both: teachers and students immersed in the programme, and the observation was done in 10 classes and revealed that they significantly improved their communicative competence in the English language. Besides, the survey applied to teachers and students revealed that students pay close attention to the teacher’s instruction, ask questions when they do not understand something and foment self-correction. Moreover, the applied surveys and the observation indicated that the teachers use different methods, among which the Communicative Method and the Direct one stand out. They also indicated that the teachers prefer to use group work and warm up activities as teaching strategies. | en_US |
