Autor : Cabrera Quiñonez, Erika Vanessa Resumen : This study aimed to determine that an EFL classroom with a student with Asperger's condition should be fostered in language proficiency in a way that is both supportive and responsive to their unique learning needs. This involves providing tailored instruction that accommodates any challenges the student may face with language processing, social interaction, or sensory sensitivities. The focus should be on enhancing the student's abilities in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, while also building their confidence and reducing anxiety in the learning environment. The data was collected through the use of unstructured observations applied in the reading, vocabulary, and writing, working directly with the student in the language arts classes. The findings showed that the student scored low in each evaluated skill, considering that each test significantly affected his self-efficacy, causing his behavior to be difficult to control when the teacher did not provide techniques and strategies to improve their academic performance, and the actual methodology applied mixed methods and a descriptive design involves integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of the research problem. Thus, the mentioned techniques and strategies are to be applied to the student in the classroom to solve the problems found in this research project. 2024-09-04T00:00:00Z http://repositorio.ucsg.edu.ec/handle/3317/21453 Título : Contextualized Core English Glossary for nine-to-ten-year-old Ecuadorian Children.

Autor : Estupiñán Criollo, Nadya Lorena; Suquilanda Garrido, Yuly Kiara Descripción : This research work reports on the extralinguistic (pragmatic-cultural) analysis of a popular American sitcom. Sitcoms contain humor, which is transferred to TL audiences. Cultural adaptation aids in the development of the message intended in the SL. Berger's classification of humor, i.e., the four groups identified, are at work in various contexts. The scope of humor is culturebound. Jokes can be a reflection of the social and cultural context in which they are constructed. Culture is represented by the customary views, social forms, and traits based on race, religion, or social groups within the distinctive features of daily life shared by people in a particular place or time. Culture is illustrated in the TV sitcom Modern Family, which is the subject of study because it depicts the daily interaction of three families from various backgrounds, comprising various beliefs, races, and social forms. The purpose of this study is to provide a thorough analysis of the many types of humor that are widely employed in sitcoms, which will, in turn, aid depiction of the translation process (by means of subtitling) and measure effectiveness in the rendering of jokes. 2022-02-22T00:00:00Z http://repositorio.ucsg.edu.ec/handle/3317/17108 Título : Integration of ludic activities in the 1st baccalaureate EFL virtual class as a motivational strategy during the pandemic Lockdown at San José de Calasanz High School.
