This study was done with the purpose of discovering the factors that affect the development of speaking skill in students of eighth grade in the morning shift at San Ramon National Institute, during the first semester 2017.
To achieve this objective, it was necessary to administer instruments such as, survey to students (a sample of ten, five women and five men); a written interview was applied to the English teacher; in order to get a clearer idea, observation (three times) of forty five minutes, each one took place during the English class.
All these instruments were obviously related to the objectives of this research, and also they were in harmony with the hypothesis.
The data analysis showed that the main factors that affect speaking skill in students are: pronunciation, lack of vocabulary and listening skill. The English teacher agrees with these factors since students have difficulties to speak because of them, and also the observation corroborates such information.
One of the biggest problems is the time, because the English class only lasts forty five minutes and it is designed taking into account the four English skills, so speaking is not given as much emphasis as it is required to overcome the problem. Furthermore, some of the materials that can be used in the class are expensive and neither the teacher nor the students have the economic resources to use them in order to improve the development and improvement of speaking skill.
Bearing in mind this, the English teacher is obligated to create and apply strategies which are not expensive that permit to improve the speaking skill, since this is a big problem and it is necessary to look for a solution. For instance, there are thousands of situations that students like and it would be great to connect real life situations with the teaching and learning process |
