Multimedia Resources and Their Incidence in the English Speaking Skill
Cárdenas Gómez, Jonathan Javier
Online Submission
In this era of educational technology, the English language is more than ever the world language, and the speaking skill is considered the most important skill that students need to master, because its main goal is communication. However, to acquire this skill is not easy, and may present difficulties, especially for students of English as a second language. Teaching this skill plays then a crucial role, and modern techniques and methods are prevailed. The use of technology and multimedia resources come to replace traditional methods to grab students' attention, increase their motivation in the classroom and to succeed in classroom goals. The present research work analyzes the incidence of multimedia resources in the English speaking skill, focusing on students of basic general education (EGB) at a private school in Guayaquil, which experience lack of technological resources to help teachers and students in the process of language teaching and learning, particularly in the development of the speaking skill. The elaboration of a multimedia resources guide is proposed to assist teachers and help students improve their speaking skill.
