Introducción. La comunicación oral es quizás la habilidad más importante al aprender una lengua extranjera. El método convencional de enseñanza del inglés que se utiliza en los niveles educacionales, basado en la gramática y la escritura no permite el desarrollo de las habilidades comunicativas necesarias. La enseñanza comunicativa del lenguaje ha sido objeto de investigaciones, en las que se ha tratado su eficacia mediante el uso de diferentes recursos y habilidades. Objetivo. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo aplicar las actividades de la enseñanza comunicativa del lenguaje para determinar su efectividad en el desarrollo de la habilidad del habla en estudiantes de segundo año de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Salesiana “Santo Tomás Apóstol”, en Riobamba, Ecuador. Metodología. Se realizó una investigación de campo, descriptiva, prospectiva, longitudinal, cuasi experimental y cuantitativa. El universo estuvo conformado por los 94 estudiantes de ese nivel. La muestra equivalente al universo, se organizó en dos grupos, uno experimental y otro de control, con 47 estudiantes cada uno. Se aplicó un examen diagnóstico inicial y una prueba final para ambos grupos, que durante el tiempo entre ambos test, siguieron enfoques de enseñanza aprendizaje diferentes. En el grupo de control se aplicó el método tradicional y en el grupo experimental, el enfoque comunicativo de enseñanza del lenguaje. Resultados. Los resultados mostraron que aunque ambos grupos mejoraron su desempeño en la expresión oral, en el grupo experimental el incremento de la habilidad del habla fue mayor que para el grupo de control. Conclusión. Se llegó a la conclusión de que las actividades interactivas aplicadas, como los diálogos, los juegos de roles y el intercambio de información, fueron efectivas para desarrollar la destreza en el habla de los estudiantes.

Education is a social process that is constantly evolving. National education systems are constantly adjusting their curricular designs to adapt to the present reality in accordance with the new demands of the economy, science and technology. Objective: this study analyzes and discusses the divergences and convergences between the Unified General Baccalaureate of Ecuador and the International Baccalaureate, which has been present in the country since 2010. Methodology: It is a qualitative research of interpretative nature with a deep content analysis from the perspective of hermeneutics, to systematize the information and base the criteria and discussion. The researchers chose the mathematics curriculum because of their teaching experience and because it is one of the subjects that is evaluated internationally through the PISA tests. Contributions: Once the analysis and interpretation were done, the results show profound differences between the two baccalaureates in terms of content distribution, time, mastery of skills with performance criteria, skills and evaluation processes. Conclusion: It is concluded that the International Baccalaureate presents better learning results, due to its organization, level of rigor and dynamic methodology, which enables students to continue their university career in any institution of higher education in the country and the world.

For more than three decades Task-based language teaching strategies have constituted an object of research in second language acquisition. However, a TBLT approach has been fully embraced in some parts of the world while not in others. Despite the fact that there have been previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating TBLT implementation, there is still the need for a synthesis of the effects of tasks on oral production. This paper provides a systematic research synthesis of different TBLT interventions on spoken production. In total, 61 published studies were retrieved, coded, and analyzed following established coding procedures for systematic reviews. Additionally, 11 studies were also meta-analyzed so as to research the overall effects of the application of a TBLT speaking strategy as treatment in different contexts. The findings unveiled a medium to large effect of (d=0.78) for TBLT interventions on oral production. The synthesis across qualitative and quantitative data also revealed a positive impact of Task Repetition and Pre-task planning for the enhancement of linguistic complexity, accuracy and fluency dimensions of the speaking skill. The study concludes with implications for the implementation of a TBLT strategy in L2 teaching-learning process.
