The development of oral expression in tenth graders

Abstract

 This article approaches the need to improve the oral expression in English in tenth graders from Emilio Lastres Mixed Center in Manzanillo. The authors  propose a set of exercises to foster the students' oral performance, focussing on the oral aspects of verbal communication. To carry out the research process theoretical methods such as the inductive- deductive and the analytic-synthetic; empirical methods such as observation, survey, interview, and the pedagogical test; and the statistical methods to get and process the information gathered by the empirical methods, were used. The results show a significant improvement of the oral expression making the proposal a valuable tool for their formation.
