Resumen
This study work analyzed a speaking problem found in students from Rita
Lecumberri High School, afternoon shift, First Year Bachillerato, due to the
underutilization of activities that are supposed to generate English oral
communication therefore pupils do not have opportunities to express
themselves applying the spoken language. This project was carried out
through a field study, a bibliographical research and a statistical analysis.
In order to solve the problem it was reviewed literature about
communicative approaches and collaborative strategies to lead students to
speak in English while they work in group work activities. Moreover the
research instruments applied were the observation, the survey
questionnaire and the interview, with a population of three hundred four
people (students and teachers), applying a probabilistic sampling, random
and stratified type selection in a sample of one hundred seventy three
people. The results obtained from data collection and theoretical basis,
demonstrated that students presented a low development in the speaking
skill, and teachers are not taking in consideration linguistic and nonlinguistics
aspects to allow students to develop oral fluency, for this reason
it was necessary to design a system of collaborative activities set focus on
group work activities that helps teachers and students to use English
Language as a medium of oral communication
