Abstract
The research project titled “Strategies for Assessing Pre-A1-A1 level speaking skills in an online learning environment through interactive strategies in an eighth-grade class” is being conducted at the Unidad Educativa Particular Osborn in Guayaquil. The study aims to improve English speaking skills for eighth-grade students using TaskBased Learning (TBL) methodologies. The school operates under a hybrid model, with both online and in-person classes. The research focuses on eighth-grade students, a group of eight, who represent the English language proficiency level of nearly all students in this school. Researchers developed a program that encourages peer interaction, active participation, analytical thinking, problem-solving initiatives, and self-assessment exercises. Students engaged in speaking exercises, articulating responses based on vocabulary activities. The study demonstrated that the TBL methodology had a positive impact on speaking skill development, enhancing English language acquisition. The research emphasized considering students’ language proficiency level, age, learning strengths, weaknesses, group dynamics, learning styles, and motivations. This investigation provides valuable insights into applying TBL methodology to enhance English speaking skills in an online learning environment.
