Analysis of the methodological factors that affect the speaking skill, in the students of 8th grade in Rigoberto López Pérez Institute-Managua, during the second semester 2017.

This study was done with the purpose of analyzing the methodological factors that affect the speaking skill in the students of 8th in Rigoberto López Pérez Institute, during the second semester 2017. To reach the research objectives several instruments were used to collect all the information that was necessary, such as a survey to the students, an interview to the teacher, an observational guide. Besides, some technological devices were needed for registration of data, like cellphones and computers. At the same time orientations from the tutor were received who helped to lead the project. All these instruments were obviously related to the objectives of this research. In this research, it was found that some of the main factors that are affecting the teaching strategies used by the teacher to develop the speaking skill are the lack of motivation in the students to participate in the English class and the lack of didactic materials, which are important in the development of the speaking skill. The population of this project was 45 students.. Finally, it is hoped that this research can help both, teachers and students in this institute for the development of speaking skill as well as to institutions that could be facing the same problem so that they can overcome the difficulties and improve the teaching learning process.
