Eco Linguistic Method: An Integrating Approach of Competences in the Teaching of the Kichwa Language in Semipresential Modality.

Abstract

The experience called "Eco Linguistic Method: An Integrative Approach of Competences in the Teaching of the Kichwa Language in the Blended Modality" collects relevant information on the perspective of linguistic instruction. Since the 1970s, forms of communication have emerged that are transforming global language instruction. However, in teaching, these theories have not been fully adopted or recreated, and there is little research dedicated to the specific learning of the Kichwa language. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to collect all relevant information on the comprehensive communicative approach and specifically apply it in Kichwa classes. In order to achieve this approach is based on the perspectives and strategies proposed for each of the language skills. The methodology used in this study was mixed, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, implemented with students enrolled in the Blended Learning Basic General Education program offered by the National University of Education (UNAE). A sample of 165 students was selected. In conclusion, the implementation of the approach and the strategies used contribute to the learning of the language in a significant way.
