dc.description.abstractThe study, “Students’ Perceptions on Factors Influencing the Development of Oral Communication in A1 English Major Learners,” aimed to determine the factors that influence the development of oral communication in A1 English learners of the Technical University of Cotopaxi. It used a quantitative descriptive research design. Data were collected from 47 undergraduate students of pedagogy of national and foreign languages using a structured survey form Ali et al. (2020). The survey was translated into Spanish for better understanding of the first-level students. The analysis focused on three main categories: feelings, classroom support and linguistic content. The results in the feelings category show that most of the students agree that they feel anxiety and nervousness when speaking in English. In the second category, support in the classroom, we found positive and negative results, most of the students affirm that their teachers encourage them to speak in English, on the other hand they think that they will make mistakes and look bad in front of their classmates. In the third category linguistic content, the most of students feel that they do not know enough vocabulary and feel insecure to use the grammar correctly when communicating in English. The study concludes that both feelings and linguistic content are the factors that influence the development of oral communication in A1 level students at the Technical University of Cotopaxi, for which it is recommended to adapt the learning environment, carry out interactive activities and reinforce the teaching of grammar.
