| Abstract: | N/D |
| Description: | Resumen: This research was conducted to identify the difficulties children face when learning English as a foreign language at a private high school in the city of Loja. The sample analyzed consisted of 257 students from the first to seventh year of Basic Education who were divided into two groups. The factors investigated were classified into internal, external and institutional which were identified, analyzed and contrasted. The research combines both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative method was used to determine the most frequent factors that can affect the students acquisition of the target language. The qualitative method was used to analyze the factors identified before and during the class observations. In addition, surveys were given to the students in order to obtain specific information about the aspects that make English as a foreign language learning difficult. This research concluded that there are some difficulties that influence the acquisition of the target language such as: motivation, learning habits, memorization, materials, activities, class size and time. For that reason, teachers and authorities should consider these aspects to improve the way they teach. |
