The English Sociocultural Influence on Teaching-Learning English as a Foreign Language, the case of Décimo Año de Educación General Básica “A” at Unidad Educativa Camilo Gallegos Toledo in Riobamba city, Chimborazo Province, in the academic period September 2021- February 2022

This research is focused on the study of English sociocultural factors in the classroom, and its importance in the teaching-learning process. Through this strategy, students know about the cultural facts in which the English language is involved. Previously, a study had been developed at Unidad Educativa Camilo Gallegos Toledo, and it determined that the teaching of sociocultural factors is partially focused on government books. The teacher has to adapt and to use interactive activities to motivate students and catch their attention. The usage of the students' native language helps them to develop their knowledge about the English sociocultural factors, improving their communicative skills. Thus, students identify and analyze the cultural aspects that the teacher explains in the class, and they understand that language and culture are related. This research analyzes the influence of sociocultural aspects in the teaching-learning English as a Foreign Language. Therefore, in this investigation, a qualitative approach and a descriptive research modality were applied. The techniques for collecting data and information were: interview, survey, and observation which were applied with their corresponding instruments as the ethnographic interview, survey, and observation guide. The population were composed by 33 students and an English teacher of Décimo año de Educación General Básica “A” at Unidad Educativa Camilo Gallegos Toledo. The results of this research were described through a descriptive analysis of the importance of the influence of sociocultural factors on Teaching-Learning English as a Foreign Language.
