Enhancing oral expression in english as a foreign language through task-based learning and dynamic assessmentNogues Melendez, Cristina María 02 September 2013 (has links)
Esta tesis se presenta al análisis de una propuesta pedagógica orientada a la enseñanza de las destrezas orales en inglés como lengua extranjera en el ámbito universitario. En ella los estudiantes participan en tareas comunicativas en las que prima la interacción oral grupal, articulada en torno a una serie de seminarios, debates y simulaciones sobre temas relacionados con su campo de estudio. El trabajo en grupo se lleva a cabo de forma independiente con asistencia y supervisión del profesor. Cada grupo dispone de un espacio web colaborativo (wiki) donde lleva a cabo la integración de los contenidos así como la plataforma docente PoliformaT, desde la que se gestionan los contenidos y las tareas. En el estudio participan un grupo experimental y un grupo control formados por sujetos con un nivel intermedio bajo de inglés que estudian inglés profesional y académico en la Universitat Politècnica de València. Partiendo de un diseño basado en una medición pre y post tratamiento, el estudio pretende demostrar que existe una mejora en la expresión oral en general y en las variables de complejidad, corrección y fluidez de los participantes en el grupo experimental como consecuencia de su participación en tareas comunicativas con un alto grado de interacción grupal con relación al grupo control, en el que los estudiantes no intervienen en actividades colaborativas. / This thesis reports on a case study which investigated the potential of Dynamic
Assessment within the framework of Task-Based Teaching and Learning as a
pedagogical approach aiming to improve oral performance in an English as a
foreign language context. At the core of the pedagogical procedure was the
enhancement of metalinguistic and metacognitive awareness. The study involved
undergraduates (N = 30) at lower intermediate level of proficiency studying
English for academic and professional purposes at Universitat Politècnica de
València. Drawing on sociocultural theory constructs, a nine-week pedagogical
treatment based on Dynamic Assessment principles was designed and
implemented to pursue the following aims: (a) to investigate how metalinguistic
awareness is evidenced through Dynamic Assessment; (b) to assess the value of
this pedagogical approach in relation to the participants¿ oral performance; and (c)
to investigate the participants¿ thoughts and perceptions regarding various aspects
of Dynamic Assessment.
Based on a pre-post test research design, the results suggest that there was
overall improvement in the participants¿ oral performance although there were
differences across measures. The statistical analyses are discussed in the light of
Dynamic Assessment as an approach to second language development. The thesis
provides an analysis of the metalinguistic dimension which was an integral aspect
of the Dynamic Assessment procedure; the participants focused on a wide range of morphosyntactic, lexical,
and discourse features reflecting the students¿ emerging language capacities.
Finally, the rich data gathered through a variety of instruments, i.e., tests,
transcripts of videotaped oral performance, interviews, and questionnaires,
allowed us to gain valuable insights into the participants¿ thoughts and perceptions
regarding Dynamic Assessment. We conclude the dissertation with a discussion of
the feasibility of implementing individual and group DA in a foreign language
context and some pedagogical implications of our findings / Nogues Melendez, CM. (2013). Enhancing oral expression in english as a foreign language through task-based learning and dynamic assessment [Tesis doctoral]. Universitat Politècnica de València. https://doi.org/10.4995/Thesis/10251/31648
