Resumen

BARRIGA FRAY, Johanna Isabel  y  MCCANDLESS, Michael John. Los efectos del uso de modismos estadounidenses en el desarrollo de la habilidad de hablar en estudiantes de L2. Horizontes Rev. Inv. Cs. Edu. [online]. 2020, vol.4, n.16, pp.432-438. ISSN 2616-7964.

Resumen There are thousands of non-native English speakers around the world. The use of a wide variety of dialects, registers, and other characteristics of language such as idiomatic expressions can cause lots of misunderstandings in people when they interact among one another. For that reason, American Idioms have to be taken into account as a crucial part in the development of English Language competence. It is a necessity that non-native speakers of English become aware and proficient in using English idiomatic expressions. However, many English learners, especially most of Ecuadorians, lack the competence to use them properly. This paper aims to show the effects of using American idioms in the development of speaking skills by L2 learners. Thereby, this research was carried out in a university in Ecuador with a population of 30 students. Quasi-experimental research was applied where one group was exposed to the language that native English speakers usually use. In addition, fleld research was carried out through instruments such as an observation checklist Finally, the data analysis showed that those L2 students exposed to American idioms had subsequently increased their speaking skill.

Palabras clave : English learners; idioms; language; speaking skills.
