La expresión oral en la interacción docente – estudiante - estudiante en los encuentros pedagógicos.

Abstract

This project aimed at determining the characteristics of the oral expression of students and teachers from University of Pamplona in the interaction that occurs during the pedagogical meetings. In this way, we started with a diagnostic stage, through interviewing process with teachers and students, as well as a direct observation what permitted us to detect factors affecting this expression, such as: socio-economic aspects, gender, age, educational level of the student‟s immediate family members, and so on. Furthermore, it was evidenced that the University of Pamplona counts with a single course designed to ameliorate students‟ oral expression (Habilidades Comunicativas), which now is virtually developed. From teachers‟ perspective, it was determined that they are willing and undemanding regarding the mentioned course thus they do not correct mistakes, they do not involve with students‟ work, and they do not apply strategies to deal with this problem causing that students express badly and inappropriately in the educational setting. Having said this, a pedagogical proposal was planned with the purpose of improving the speech in teacher-student and student-student interactions throughout the pedagogical meetings, in which activities such as oral presentations, students‟ class participation, and socialization of current affairs topics are suggested.
