Abstract
La enseñanza del idioma inglés como lengua extranjera se ha enfocado en el desarrollo de las habilidades necesarias para la comunicación en distintas esferas, ya que es una lengua de amplia difusión global, siendo necesaria en situaciones cotidianas en el cual las personas tienden a interactuar significativamente. No obstante, con los avances tecnológicos producto del paso del tiempo, ahora la comunicación emplea herramientas digitales fundamentadas en comunicación basadas en texto. En cuanto al uso del idioma inglés, este posee una predominancia en su forma escrita debido al fácil acceso, especialmente en su formato digital gracias a las redes sociales. Por ende, el empleo del idioma inglés se prioriza más en la producción escrita que en la producción oral bajo este contexto. Por ello, se planteó la pregunta de si es posible mejorar la producción escrita desde la edad escolar a través de la práctica y desarrollo de habilidades específicas. La siguiente investigación es un estudio cualitativo de diseño investigación-acción sobre la producción escrita en el idioma inglés a través de la metodología de aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP). Se tuvo como población a 30 estudiantes del 3.er grado de secundaria de la I. E. Aplicación Monterrico, ubicada en Surco, Lima, con los cuales se trabajaron una serie de proyectos con el fin de desarrollar su uso de vocabulario, gramática y ortografía dado a su nivel bajo de producción de textos obtenidos mediante una prueba diagnóstica a inicios de año. Los resultados obtenidos tras la investigación demostraron una mejora significativa en su nivel de redacción de textos, así como un aumento de estudiantes que alcanzaron el nivel de logro tras finalizar sus proyectos.
The teaching of English as a foreign language has focused on the development of the most necessary skills because of its widespread use globally, being needed in everyday situations in which people tend to interact significantly. However, with technological advancements over time, communication now utilizes digital tools based on text-based communication. Regarding the use of English, it predominantly manifests in its written form due to easy access, especially in its digital format through social media. Therefore, the use of English is more prioritized to written production than oral production within this context. Due to this, a question was raised about whether it is possible to improve written production from an early age, through the practice and development of specific language skills. The following research is a qualitative study using an action research design on written production in the English language through the project-based learning (PBL) methodology. A sample of 30 third-grade high school students from Monterrico I.E. Aplicación in Surco, Lima was used, with whom a series of projects were undertaken to enhance their use of vocabulary, grammar, and spelling due to their low level of text production identified through a diagnostic test at the beginning of the year. The obtained results from the research demonstrated a significant improvement in their proficiency for written skills, as well as an increase in students who got the “achieved” level after finishing their projects.
