dc.descriptionTo design a module of Phonetics and Phonology for the advanced English level in the bachelor´s degree program
dc.description.abstractThis research project aims to design a Phonetics and Phonology module for the advanced C1 English level in the bachelor’s degree program of a private university. The investigation derives from concerns expressed by students in the Foreign Languages program, ranging from B2 to C1 English proficiency levels. Although the survey revealed that most students have good notions and a solid understanding of the Phonetics and Phonology subject, they stated having difficulties in the pronunciation of certain sounds from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This struggle has led to frustration among those who felt their classes did not adequately cover these challenges, resulting in gaps in language learning by not being able to perform with good speech production. The main reason for these issues is the discontinuation of the Phonetics and Phonology subject after the two first semesters of the degree program. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to provide students with a solid basis for conducting their functions and roles as future teachers, enhancing their comprehension and confidence when speaking and listening. The foremost goal is to improve their language teaching and learning process. Finally, considering the identified disadvantages of the discontinuation of the Phonetics & Phonology subject, the program syllabus was obtained to conduct an analysis, and a survey for professors was conducted to determine the step-by-step design, organization, and planning of the module, ensuring comprehensive coverage of essential topics. The envisioned module aims to significantly contribute to the development of students’ English skills
dc.description.abstractEste proyecto de investigación tiene como objetivo diseñar un módulo de fonética y fonología para el nivel avanzado de inglés C1 en la carrera de licenciatura de una universidad privada. La investigación surge de inquietudes expresadas por estudiantes del programa de Lenguas Extranjeras, que van desde los niveles de dominio del inglés B2 hasta C1. Si bien la encuesta reveló que la mayoría de los estudiantes tienen buenas nociones y un conocimiento sólido de la materia de fonética y fonología, han manifestado tener dificultades en la pronunciación de ciertos sonidos del Alfabeto Fonético Internacional (AFI). Esta problemática ha generado frustración entre quienes sentían que sus clases no cubrían adecuadamente estos desafíos, lo que resultó en brechas en el aprendizaje del idioma al no poder desempeñarse con una buena producción del habla. El principal motivo de estos problemas es la discontinuación de la asignatura Fonética y Fonología después de los dos primeros semestres de la carrera. En consecuencia, el propósito de esta investigación es brindar a los estudiantes una base sólida para el desempeño de sus funciones y roles como futuros docentes, potenciando su comprensión y confianza al hablar y escuchar. El objetivo principal es mejorar su proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje del idioma. Finalmente, considerando las desventajas identificadas por la discontinuación de la materia Fonética y Fonología, se obtuvo el plan de estudios del programa y se llevó a cabo una encuesta a profesores para realizar un análisis y así determinar paso a paso el diseño, organización
