Description
Summary:This action research study was focused on applying Dialogues to improve the Speaking skill with 10 students of second year of Bachillerato group “B” at Pio Jaramillo Alvarado high school. Eight intervention sessions were carried out to enhance this skill through the use of dialogues. Two tests and a questionnaire made by the researcher were used to measure students’ progress and perception of the dialogues’ use. Additional instruments like: checklists and field diaries were applied every session to see students’ growth during the intervention stage. The results indicated that using dialogues facilitated the improvement of the speaking skill which was reflected in the increase of the posttests scores. In addition, the answers received from the questionnaire showed a positive change in participants. To conclude, the application of dialogues helped the students to develop their speaking ability.
