Etiketle | Özet: | Nowadays, learning a second language has become a fundamental tool for the development of individuals and society. For this reason, the research focuses on studying the learning process under a series of factors to which students are exposed. Motivation, attitude and anxiety are factors that were selected since they were found to be a limiting factor in the acquisition of the English language, all this defined in based of the experience and observation made. This led the study to evaluate and delimit options to help counteract the deficiencies and improve student performance through the implementation of new methods, strategies and resources. It is important to highlight that the research focused on productive skills, is to say., speaking and writing, since they allow the adequate management of the English language, which becomes fundamental because the application of these linguistic skills helps students to understand, learn, interpret and develop efficient communication with people who do not speak their mother tongue. The present research project focuses on the analysis of the influence of motivation, attitude and anxiety in the learning of English as a second language focusing mainly on the productive linguistic skills of English in the students of second semester class "A" of the career of Pedagogy in National and Foreign Languages - English of the Technical University of Cotopaxi in the canton Latacunga, province of Cotopaxi, academic period April 2021 - February 2022. In the development of this project, descriptive research has been applied, together with a mixed design in which two types of approaches are applied: qualitative, which allows collecting information about the problem, and quantitative, in which numerical information is obtained directed towards the problem presented, which helps to determine the reality. The data were collected through a survey technique and within it the questionnaire as an instrument which helped to know the facts, processes, structures and elements of the reality presented by each student according to the problem posed. In addition, the results showed that motivation, attitude and anxiety represent a great influence on the students' performance in English language learning. Thus, it was evidenced that motivation and attitude are the factors that have the greatest effect on students in this process; however, anxiety, despite being an important factor, did not present great relevance. Finally, based on the results, the implementation of two m-learning apps is proposed so that students can practice, learn and develop in a better way in the acquisition of the English language, counteracting anxiety and improving the attitude and motivation with which they face this challenge. As these applications can be managed from any device, they allow greater accessibility, thus proposing an educational innovation within everyone's reach. |
