Este artículo resume el proceso llevado a cabo para promover la competencia comunicativa en la habilidad oral; el mismo fue desarrollado a través de la implementación de estrategias de enseñanza basadas en los estilos de aprendizaje propuestos por Kolb en su modelo de la Teoría del Aprendizaje Experimental de 1984. Este estudio de caso fue llevado a cabo durante el último semestre (julio a diciembre) del 2014; de hecho, cuatro estudiantes principiantes de inglés como lengua extranjera fue-ron los participantes de la investigación. Para recolectar la información tres instrumentos fueron uti-lizados: una lista de verificación, una rúbrica de evaluación y un cuestionario. Los datos recolectados fueron analizados y triangulados mediante tres categorías de análisis previamente establecidas: esti-los de aprendizaje de cada participante, su desempeño oral antes de llevar a cabo esta investigación, y su competencia comunicativa en la habilidad oral después de la implementación de estrategias de enseñanza específicamente basadas en los estilos de aprendizaje identificados, los cuales estaban fundamentados en el modelo de la Teoría del Aprendizaje Experimental de Kolb de 1984. En general, los resultados obtenidos muestran la efectividad de las estrategias de enseñanza implementadas en relación con los estilos de aprendizaje identificados, las mismas tenían como propósito principal ayu-dar al estudiantado a mejorar su competencia comunicativa en la habilidad oral.

This article summarizes the process carried out to promote communicative competence in speak-ing skills; it was developed through the implementation of teaching strategies based on the learning styles proposed by Kolb in his model of the Experiential Learning Theory of 1984. This case study was carried out during the last semester (July to December), in 2014; in fact, four beginner EFL students were the research participants. To collect data, three instruments were administered: a checklist, a scoring sheet and a questionnaire. The data gathered was analyzed and triangulated through three pre-established categories of analysis: participants’ learning styles, learners’ oral performance before conducting the research, and students’ communicative competence in speaking skills after the imple-mentation of teaching strategies specifically based on the identified learning styles from Kolb’s model of the Experiential Learning Theory of 1984. Generally, the findings obtained show the effectiveness of the teaching strategies implemented in regards to the identified learning types; these strategies aimed to help students improve their communicative competence in speaking skills. |
