The existence of a language gives human beings a potential, social, historical, and intellectual dimension, linking them to each other, to the past and to the world. Language is a human tool that allows people to communicate their ideas, fellings, and interest. It must have arisen out of a social necessity -communication. Hence, when vocal sounds were accessible to the members of a given social group, they realized these sounds showed no limitations like gestures. That is why language became the most economical means of sharing aspects of culture.
Adquisición del lenguaje
(1976-01-01) Cáceres Chavéz, Mario Stanley
El pronostico de este trabajo es el de comparar las opiniones mas importantes que se han vertido respecto a la adquisición del lenguaje, es decir, tratando de contestar la interrogante de como adquiere un niño su lengua materna: el empirismo y el racionalismo. Este debate empezó desde hace mucho tiempo y continua ahora en el presente tratando de dar una explicación del lenguaje y su aprendizaje. En los siglos XVII y XVIII el debate fisiologico de este problema se centralizo en la relacion entre la mente humana y sus experiencias en la vida. Asi los empiristas afirmaron "nada esta en la mente sino primero en los sentidos" y los racionalistas contestaron: "Nada esta en la mente si no está primero en los sentidos, excepto la misma mente"

Does the exposure to authentic materials increase the listening skill of the students from the Advanced Intensive English I, second semester 2013 at the Foreign Language Department in the University of El Salvador?
(2014-11-28) Bermudez Alfaro, Victoria Esmeralda; Hsiao, Chuan Wei; Cabrera Martínez, Ricardo
Listening is a skill that takes practice to improve one´s overall proficiency in the English language. It is believed that listening is one of the most difficult skills to develop due to the different accents and pronunciations around the world. Mark Murphy states that this skill seems to be so simple, yet the average person retains only 10% of what they hear. Even though it is the key to all effective communication, without the ability to listen to messages effectively ideas may be easily misunderstood, communication breakdowns may be possible, and the sender of the message can easily become frustrated or irritated. It is important to take into account that problems in communication may be caused by different factors and that is why it is important to clarify the difference between listening and hearing. Hearing refers to the sounds people perceive, whereas listening requires more than that: it requires focusing. Listening means paying attention not only to the story, but it also requires paying attention to some other details. For example, it is important to identify how something is told, the use of language and voice, and how the other person uses his or her body. In other words, it means becoming aware of both verbal and non-verbal messages. People`s ability to listen to messages effectively depends on the degree to which you perceive and understand them. “The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.” Rachel Naomi Remen (2005)

(2008-01-01) Oliva Muñoz, Sandra Beatriz; Hernández Joaquín, Rosa Delmy; Salazar Carranza, Briseida Guadalupe; Llanes Márquez López, Jorge Homero
This research intends to present the problematic situation in a descriptive manner about the English pronunciation proficiency of third year students of the Bachelor of Arts in English, Specialty: Teaching Major of the Foreign Language Department (FLD) at the University of El Salvador. This report presents the circumstantial origins of the problem, its evolution, its current conditions (external and internal), its weaknesses and strengths as well as its most common techniques to evaluate oral skills, with the goal of providing a diagnosis which can establish effectively a remedial answer to this problem. Pronunciation, as a process of the production of sounds to make meaning, is one of the most important aspects of a person’s speech. Nevertheless, in some cases Pronunciation and its aspects involved, such as sounds, intonation, stress, rhythm and some others, are hardly taught in a classroom. This situation carries the students to communication problems in so many areas and aspects of their personal and professional daily life. The results of the research show some common pronunciation deficiencies in vowel sounds and also the students’ problem in the confusion and differentiation of sounds. It is also shown the students’ need to have a study plan with subjects that might help them out to improve their pronunciation. Moreover, it reflects the need for students to have more access to specialized resources to help their English pronunciation along with some other interesting findings.

(2004-03-12) Quijano Sandoval, Alba Claribel; Peña Díaz, Pedro Benigno; Salazar Murcia, Pedro Antonio; Salazar Murcia, Pedro Antonio
The foreign language teaching profession today faces increasing enrollments and a shortage of qualified teachers. Curtain and Pesola (1994:24) say that “a foreign language teacher requires a combination of competences and background that may be unprecedent in the preparation of language teachers”. A second language teacher needs a higher standard of competencies like a high level of proficiency in the four skill (speaking, listening, reading and writing), the capacity to use the language in any social context, manage the content areas, knowledge of technologies, understanding of social, political, historical and economic reality of regions. A language teacher must have an extensive knowledge about different components of teaching in order to be prepared to make appropriate judgments and decisions about their teaching in the classroom. Professional growth (mentioned above) and aspects of their behavior such as: enthusiasm, attitude, personality and classroom management are involved on what is happening in their own classroom. Classroom management and teacher behavior are analyzed to find out their influence in students learning of English as a second language. Since teaching involves teacher’s behavior and actions, s/he needs to get acquainted of those that influence learning in a negative way as well as those influence positively the learning process.
Interferencia que presentan los falsos cognados para los estudiantes Salvadoreños que estudian ingles y las técnicas convenientes para minimizar ese problema.
(1970-01-01) Mena de Palomo, Gloria
El aprendizaje del vocabulario ofrece bastante dificultad a los estudiantes de un idioma extranjero. en el caso de los estudiantes de habla castellana que están aprendiendo ingles, la dificultad de aprender el vocabulario disminuye debido a que ambos idiomas tienen muchas palabras provenientes del griego y del latín, las cuales se escriben en forma semejante o idéntica por tener raíces comunes.
Relevance of intuition in language in a near native like performance of english as a second language
(2005-04-01) Romero Reyes, Cindy Xarelly; Salazar Murcia, Pedro Antonio; Salazar Murcia, Pedro Antonio
One of the questions that pops out in our minds once we have started learning a second language is: “Will I ever speak as well as native speaker does?” Teachers and students at the Foreign Language Department at the University of El Salvador may think it as an impossible goal. I am sure the reason of this failure is the emphasis we confer to grammar rules and consciously learned linguistic knowledge while we are performing in the second language. In contrast, native speakers performance, our aim to keep in mind, is based on Language Intuition. Intuition is the component of our minds, which directs the access to linguistic knowledge with no intermediate stages and “tells” the performer whether he is being accurate in his language production or not. They do not know this because of consciously learned knowledge of grammar rules. They just know it intuitively. Near native speakers may also develop such a sense for the target language in order to perform as well as a native speaker without the constant consultation of consciously learned grammar rules that take too much of time.

(2003-11-21) Lovato Hernández, Zoila Edith; Crespín Escobar, Sandra Leticia; Escobar, Guillermo Ernesto; Salazar Murcia, Pedro Antonio
In the following pages, it is presented the essay which contains all the information that is related to the level of oral proficiency reached by the students that were attending classes at Advanced Intensive English II courses during the first semester of the year 2003. In the present days, most of the people who study English as a second language do it because they want to have the capacity to communicate their ideas, thoughts and feelings not only in a written way, but also in an oral way. However, not all the people have the capacity to obtain specific levels of oral proficiency; that is what happens to many language students that attend classes at the University of El Salvador. This is due to a series of facts that take place during the whole English learning process, and they are described through the development of this work. Being their major interest to become proficient in a second language, students place the speaking ability as one of their main goals of study. Then in order to fulfill the needs of the students, the teachers must base their teaching on those communicative activities that best will fit on the development of adequate levels of accuracy when practicing the language. It is for that reason that this essay makes emphasis on the use of some principles stated in the form of hypothesis that can help teachers when planning instruction. Those principles were created by Alice Omaggio, and they are described carefully in the theoretical framework presented in this essay. Besides, are mentioned some of the principles that can be used by teachers are mentioned in order to select the best techniques and strategies that can help to improve students´ second language oral proficiency. Since in the learning of English, the ones that receive most benefits are the students, then they are the ones that have to do the most part of the work if they really want to succeed in the learning of English. They have to look for those strategies and techniques that can help them to increase their proficiency. In this essay are explained some of the strategies and techniques that can be used by teachers and students to develop levels of proficiency. Students should bear in mind that the more they practice the language, the more they will develop their speaking skill, and in that way achieve the required levels of proficiency.
