Abstract

Abstract: In the present research work called: The gamified class in English: Didactic proposal for the improvement of the speaking skill of elementary basic education students, its purpose is to propose a methodological strategy for the use of gamification to improve the speaking skill of second grade elementary students of the Padre Julian Lorente Educational Unit in the city of Loja, in order to improve aspects such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency of such skill. The research is of a mixed type with a qualitative and quantitative approach, due to the theoretical and numerical data that it will yield and that will be analyzed from a theoretical perspective. For this, the 36 second grade elementary students are taken from an intentional sample, to whom a diagnostic test and an interview with 3 teachers from the English area are applied as an instrument. After knowing the shortcomings of the students based on the aspects of the speaking skill, the didactic proposal of the gamification of a didactic unit for the improvement of such skill using technological means and ICT is presented. It is concluded that the gamification proposal increases the linguistic skills and the active participation in the PEA of the 2nd grade students.
