Communicative Language Teaching to Enhance Speaking Skills in B1.1 Level

Carmen Beatriz Gutierrez-Heras, María Augusta Villacrés-Camino

Resumen


English is far one of the most spoken languages in the world. For this reason, developing the Speaking skill has become a vital way to communicate among people whose native language is not English. Most of the time, new language learners are afraid to express their thoughts by speaking because they are afraid to make intonation mistakes or mispronounce a word or phrase. The CLT is an approach that makes the learners use the language in real-life situations. It is focused on the interaction among students that produce speech or conversation for most of the classroom time using the target language. It enhances communication through different techniques. For this study, it was interesting to implement specific speaking techniques such as interviews, strip stories, and role-plays throughout a school year to boost students speaking troubles. This research aims to apply the Communicative Language Teaching approach to develop Speaking skills in 16 years old students from a public high school under remote learning. The results obtained were consistent. They show an increase in the speaking level in most students despite the remote learning time.
