Alternative techniques for facilitating learning processes in English

Abstract

The main objective of this research is the application of techniques to facilitate the learning of English to students of the third year in the English discipline at FAREM-Estelí, to improve the mastery of linguistic aspects of language; and the level of fluency in those future education graduates who communicate in English. The methodology of the IAP (Action Research Participatory) was used retaking the approach action research in education that John Elliot (2000) describes as “relates to the practical problems daily experienced by teachers, rather than with “theoretical problems” defined by the pure researchers in the vicinity of a discipline of learning and aims to deepen understanding of the teacher (diagnosis) of a problem.” The research was conducted during the second semester of the academic year 2013. First, a diagnosis of the difficulties presented by students in the class of Comprehensive English was made; later a study for the selection of the best techniques was applied, ultimately a joint assessment of the implementation of technical and pedagogical value was made, including advantages and disadvantages. The facilitation techniques used yielded the desired results, and recommendations are expected to serve as references for teachers of the subject of Comprehensive English to facilitate the learning of English.
