Listening lesson plan in the teaching-learning process.

Abstract

Currently, access to quality education in rural areas represents a constant challenge in Ecuador, especially in the canton of Chone, province of Manabí. In this context, the TEFL Community Service program (Teaching English as a Foreign Language with a Community Service approach) emerges as a key tool to promote the learning of the English language in rural communities, where educational resources and opportunities are often limited. The TEFL program seeks not only to provide students with linguistic skills, but also to promote cultural and social integration through community service. Through this approach, a collaborative link is created between educators, volunteers, and rural educational institutions, strengthening the teaching of English in a practical and contextualized manner. The implementation of this initiative in the canton of Chone has a significant impact, as it responds to the need to improve communicative competencies in English, preparing students for an increasingly globalized world. At the same time, it fosters values such as cooperation, service, and community development, thus contributing to the educational and social progress of rural areas.
