Vocabulary strategies to develop english speaking skills in the students of eighth grade at Unidad Educativa Manuela Saenz pcei distance school, Ballenita, province of Santa Elena 2014 – 2015.

Description: This project was created to promote an active participation of young and adult students in the process of learning the English language. This is a way of contributing to their integral development, using strategies, didactic elements and technological resources that will facilitate language learning. The main problem observed in the English teaching is the inadequacy of applications of teaching materials in the classes. This insufficiency creates concern because the students do not have significant English previous knowledge. To give solution to this predicament, the teacher needs to use strategies and a didactic guide to help increase speaking skills. With the teaching of rich vocabulary to the students of “Unidad Educativa Manuela Saenz PCEI” Distance School they will easily communicate with foreigners. For the compilation of such information, a survey was conducted to the teacher and students. The results are shown with graphs to better understand this project. This work is important because English learning for the young and the adult students can be of great benefit and they can achieve a wider command of vocabulary.
