Developing English oral accuracy through the implementation of a multimedia language project.

Abstract

This quantitative research investigates the impact of the Multimedia Language Project on enhancing English oral accuracy among seventh graders at a public elementary school in Azogues, Ecuador. The study addressed gaps in oral accuracy related to grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation that were overlooked by conventional teaching methods. A quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests, using a rubric adapted from the Cambridge A1 Movers speaking test, was employed to collect data. The number of participants was 64 students, and they were divided into an experimental group, which participated in the Multimedia Language Project, and a control group, which followed traditional methods. Initial tests showed no significant proficiency in either group. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 26, with descriptive statistics providing an overview of measures of central tendency, and inferential statistics through a Paired-T-Test analysis to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between the groups. Post-intervention results demonstrated significant improvement in the experimental group’s grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. These findings affirm the effectiveness of the Multimedia Language Project in improving English oral accuracy and advocate for its broader application in educational settings.
