Time management of Intermediate Intensive English I students for learning English at the Foreign Language Department, University of El Salvador, year 2020

Abstract

The problem being researched is about students’ priorities regarding personal activities or study habits which are activities they do for learning English; students prefer wasting time developing their own personal activities, even when those activities do not bring anything productive for them, instead of developing activities that would help them to learn more about their field of study. That is why, the topic of time management has turned into a real problem for students in Higher Education and, consequently, for Foreign Language Department students. In this sense, the main objective researchers have stated is to describe how students from Intermediate Intensive English I at the Foreign Language Department manage their time for learning English at the University of El Salvador. Therefore, the methodology that is going to be used during this research project is a mixed research approach; it is a combination of both, qualitative and quantitative approaches. However, in this research project, qualitative research is the predominant one, more than quantitative research, and one of the expected results is to raise students’ awareness on the importance of time management and its impact on students’ learning success or failure.
