Advancement of the command of English as a foreign language through an effective teaching strategy. Avance del dominio del inglés como lengua extranjera por medio de una estrategia didáctica efectiva.

Abstract

This Project aimed to design and apply a didactic strategy to improve the English language management in a group of 10 high school students. With this purpose, an experimental design pre-test and post-test was used. It involved the application of an entrance English knowledge exam to a sample group of ten students between 13 and 16 years old who were at an A1 level. This was followed by the application of the didactic strategy, which allowed an increase in teaching content to an A2 level. Finally, a post-test was applied to these 10 students. The project showed that 80% of the students who received a new didactic learning strategy during one and a half months improved their level of English (Gutiérrez & Pardo, 2009).
