dc.description.abstractThis academic work, titled "Communicative Activities to Improve Speaking Skills in Fifth Grade A2 Level Students", aims to design, implement, and evaluate pedagogical strategies that enhance the speaking skills of learners at this level of English proficiency. The research arises from the need to strengthen communicative competence in school contexts by promoting innovative methods that motivate students to actively participate in spoken interaction. The study is structured into three main chapters. The first, grounded in a theoretical review, analyzes methodological approaches and linguistic foundations related to teaching speaking skills, drawing upon the works of authors such as Thornbury, Schmitt, and Vygotsky. This chapter also outlines the conceptual framework that supports the communicative activities designed. The second chapter describes the methodology employed, including the design of the activities, data collection techniques, and the classroom intervention process. A mixed-methods approach was applied, incorporating questionnaires, interviews, observations, and progress tests to assess both linguistic development and affective factors, such as students’ confidence and motivation. The third chapter presents the results and conclusions. The findings reveal a significant improvement in fluency, pronunciation, and self-confidence, demonstrating that communicative activities—such as interactive games, group tasks, and visual resources—effectively contribute to the development of speaking skills. Furthermore, the importance of creating safe and participatory learning environments is highlighted as a means to reduce anxiety and foster spontaneous interaction. Finally, several pedagogical recommendations are proposed, emphasizing the integration of varied methodologies and contextualized activities to foster communicative competence and the holistic development of students. This study provides evidence that communicative strategies tailored to learners’ needs are essential for improving their speaking performance in English.
