Jclic como herramienta digital para potenciar las habilidades lingüísticas.

Abstract

The development of language skills is an essent ial pillar in the educational field, since these competencies are key to the academic and personal progress of students. However, in many educational environments, especially at advanced levels such as high school, there is a lack of consolidation of fundamental skills such as reading, active listening, speaking and writ ing. Therefore, this situat ion raises the need to explore effect ive tools that contribute to strengthening these skills. In this context, the use of JClic is analyzed as a digital resource to improve the language skills of second-year high school students at the “Juan Montalvo” Fiscomisional Educational Unit. Likewise, the research is based on a mixed methodology, which combines action-research and a deductive method at a descriptive level. In order to measure the impact of the intervent ion, a pretest and a posttest are applied, complemented with interviews and surveys. As for the results, they reflect a significant improvement in all the areas evaluated: a notable advance in reading comprehension, greater fluency and coherence in writ ing, as well as improvements in act ive listening and oral expression are evident. In conclusion, JClic proves to be an effect ive tool for strengthening language skills, while increasing both academic performance and student motivation, which underlines the transformat ive role of technology in learning processes.
