DIRECT METHOD PARA FORTALECER EL SPEAKING EN ESTUDIANTES DEL 2° GRADO DE SECUNDARIA I.E “SAN MIGUEL-HUAMBO” RODRÍGUEZ DE MENDOZA-2023

Abstract

The present research report, entitled "Direct Method to Strengthen Speaking," aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Direct Method in strengthening speaking skills among 2nd-grade secondary students at the "San Miguel-Huambo" Rodríguez de Mendoza Educational Institution. The research followed an applied approach with a quantitative focus and a pre-experimental design. A probabilistic sampling method was employed, involving 15 students from the 2nd grade, selected through observation techniques and using evaluation rubrics and checklists as instruments. The report focuses on two variables: the direct method and speaking skills. 20 sessions were conducted and evaluated using a checklist to demonstrate the levels of achievement. The research included both pre-tests and post-tests administered to the same group of students. The selection of the sample was carried out through probabilistic sampling, with 15 students from the 2nd grade chosen using observation techniques and the instruments of evaluation rubrics and checklists. The report concludes with the analysis of the data obtained from the pre-test and post-test assessments, specifically using an evaluation rubric. The findingsrevealed that, based on the evaluation rubric, the application of the Direct Method significantly impacted the speaking skills of the 2nd-grade students. In the pre-test, 16 students were at the beginning level (0 in process, 0 achieved, 0 outstanding). After the post-test, one student reached the outstanding level, 14 students achieved the desired level, while none remained at the process level, and none were at the beginning level
