Implementación de juegos de roles para el desarrollo de la habilidad del habla en los estudiantes de inglés de nivel A2 del Instituto Superior de Educación Rural Iser de Pamplona.

Abstract

The present action research was carried out in order to develop the speaking skill of A2 level students through the implementation of four activities or didactic sequences with role plays as the final product of comic strips analysis. The process was carried out through three stages proposed by the researcher based on the theory of visual analysis of Hattwig (2014) and the four steps for written production proposed by Harmer (2004), these stages are brainstorming, preparation and oral production. Likewise, taking into account the qualitative research data collection instruments, three participative observations were applied during the first three role-playing activities, two semi-structured interviews, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the investigation and the documentary analysis based on the interpretation of the results students got in oral production evaluation. The results showed positive correlations through the implementation of role plays through comic strips as students increased their motivation towards learning English and overcame their fear of public speaking. In addition, not only it was possible to promote the practice of speaking skill and acquisition of new vocabulary, writing skill and creativity were also encouraged during the activities.
