dc.description.abstractDeveloping speaking skills remains one of the significant challenges in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms for learners at the A2 Level. This study addresses the urgent need to apply accessible teaching strategies that foster fluency, pronunciation, and coherence in oral production. Podcasts are becoming increasingly popular as digital tools that offer exposure to authentic language, encourage repetition and reflection, and enable students to become content creators through planning, scripting, and recording. While educational technology continues to expand, few studies have focused on the impact of structured podcast-based activities on the oral performance of lower-level learners in schools with limited resources. This research aims to explore the effect of implementing speaking tasks to guide and evaluate the oral performance of A2 students using podcast production on their speaking development, using rubrics that emphasize fluency and communicative competence. The study will be conducted with students from a public high school in Guayaquil, and the results will provide insights for EFL educators seeking low-cost, practical methods to enhance speaking skills in early-stage learners using technology.
