dc.description.abstractHigh school students in Catamayo, Ecuador, particularly those at the A2.2, 1st BGU English level, have difficulty speaking English fluently and accurately. This research aims to investigate the potential of pocket notebooks as a complementary tool to improve English speaking skills among these students. The writing of short or long sentences in a summarized manner, new vocabulary or letter sounds that contribute to the practice of this strategy and thus the improvement of the English language will be encouraged. A mixed methods approach was used. Quantitative data measured students' progress in their speaking skills, while qualitative data explored their experiences using pocket notebooks. The study aimed to determine whether pocket notebooks can improve speech fluency, vocabulary, and organization, especially for visual learners. Furthermore, its objective was to establish the effectiveness of the notebooks at different levels of English proficiency (A1-A2.2). The findings contributed to the field of language teaching by providing evidence of the effectiveness of a low-cost, accessible tool for improving English speaking skills. This research was particularly relevant to the Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional Nuestra Señora del Rosario, where students faced significant challenges in English fluency. This study strategy will encourage the practice of the Language inside or outside the classroom, with the main axis being the teacher who motivates daily use and use. The student who wants to improve in learning the English Language can continue in subsequent years, using of this mechanism, since it generates evident changes in the management and learning of the Language, strengthening its communication in English speaking.
