Ítem Acceso Abierto Artificial Intelligence in Reinforcing English Language Writing among High School Students(UPEC - Biblioteca General "Luciano Coral", 2025-11-24) De la Cruz Quilumba, Eduardo Patricio; Román Tarapúes, Lenin RenatoIn the field of teaching and learning English as a foreign language, the development of productive skills is a complex process that requires the assistance of new methods and strategies that integrate emerging technologies. For this reason, it is of great importance to understand how tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to improve the teaching of skills such as writing. However, in the Ecuadorian context, research proposing the use of AI to reinforce English language writing skills is limited, as the existing literature has focused specifically on the perceptions of the communicative community without a practical component. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to propose an AI-based activity guide to reinforce English language writing skills in high school students. To design the proposal, information was first obtained through the application of a test to diagnose writing as a process and as a product; then English teachers were interviewed to describe their digital competences with respect to AI. The analysis of results was carried out by means of a methodological triangulation to relate qualitative and quantitative data. The findings suggest that students have significant deficiencies in writing skills and that teachers have moderate competences, thus the activity guide proposed in this research seeks to take advantage of this knowledge to fill the existing gaps. The results also point to the fact that both students and teachers need to be trained in order to implement AI effectively and within an ethical and responsible framework.Ítem Acceso Abierto Iconographic Classroom with the PACIE Methodology for English Language Teaching(UPEC - Biblioteca General "Luciano Coral", 2025-10-23) Orbe Guerrero, Valeria Stacy; Jose, AntusThe main objective of this research is to propose the implementation of an iconographic classroom using the PACIE methodology as a pedagogical and innovative solution for teaching English to A2.1-level students of the accounting major in the virtual modality at Universidad Politécnica Estatal del Carchi, Tulcán, during the November 2024 - February 2025 academic period. This proposal seeks to address the limitations identified in the initial diagnostic assessment, which revealed low performance in the skills of speaking (32.79%), writing (49.18%), reading (42.50%), and listening (38.77%). These results correspond to a low or minimal A1 level, according to the CEFR. To conduct this study, a mixed research approach was used, with a descriptive and field design. For collecting the results, a structured diagnostic test was used to assess students' language skills, as well as a Likert scale survey of teachers in order to identify perceptions of the effectiveness of the PACIE methodology and the use of iconographic resources. Findings showed that despite acceptable performance in vocabulary and grammar, communicative skills remained below 50%, particularly in speaking, writing, listening, and reading. On the other hand, based on the data obtained from the survey of 33 teachers, there was a high level of acceptance for its implementation. Therefore, the instructional design was developed considering several key elements organized into phases, considering the diagnosis and analysis of needs, definition of learning objectives, selection of content, resources, and tools, evaluation, and feedback aligned with the CEFR standards for level A2.1. Lastly, the classroom was designed on the Milaulas platform based on PACIE principles, to promote autonomous, collaborative, and meaningful learning, along with strengthening cross-curricular skills and motivating students in virtual environments. It is concluded that this pedagogical model can be replicated in other educational contexts, considering it a key tool for innovation in virtual language teaching.Ítem Acceso Abierto MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORAL COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS IN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS(UPEC - Biblioteca General "Luciano Coral", 2025-11-25) Rosero Valencia, Myrian Andrea; Rodríguez de Verenzuela, María TeresaThe learning of English as a foreign language is increasingly recognized as a critical skill in today’s globalized world. However, many students encounter challenges due to traditional teaching methods emphasizing memorization and repetition. This study explores applying the theory of multiple intelligences, specifically interpersonal intelligence, to enhance English language instruction and create a more inclusive and effective learning environment. The research focuses on high school students and their development of oral communication skills, highlighting the social importance of training competent citizens in English usage. A mixed-methods approach, including an explanatory-sequential investigation, was employed to analyze the relationship between interpersonal intelligence and the development of oral communicative competence in English as a foreign language among high school students. The results indicated a low level of development in both oral communicative skills and interpersonal intelligence. This finding allows us to conclude a significant relationship between the two; students who can socialize and express their ideas within a group will likely find it easier to communicate in another language, overcoming the fear of making mistakes. Practicing empathy emerges as a key component of their development within the classroom.
