Add Tag | Summary: | This research aimed to apply cooperative learning strategies to improve the speaking skills at Unidad Educativa Yaruquies. This research was a quantitative with quasi-experimental design research. Forty-five nineth graders participated in this process. Twenty-three of them belonged to the control group and twenty-two formed the experimental one. The researcher developed a Test for Speaking according to the level of the students. This exam provided reliable data to take decisions referring to the students’ needs. Then, a methodological guide about cooperative learning strategies to improve students’ speaking skills to be used in the Unidad Educativa Yaruquies was created. It was applied during an intervention process within the classroom context with the experimental group only. After this period, students took the post-test. Numerical data was compared between groups; in this context, students from the experimental group obtained a higher score than the students from the control group. Hence, it was concluded that the application of cooperative learning strategies contributed to improve the learners’ speaking skills; therefore, it is recommended to use them to contribute with secondary education. |
