This article aims to present the impact that the Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) approach had on students’ use of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) vocabulary and grammar structures. The study took place in a course designed for a group of 11 Mechanical Engineering students at the University of Costa Rica, who expressed their needs, lacks, and wants in a needs analysis stage. To gather the necessary data for designing, implementing, and evaluating this mixed-methods study, the researchers collected both qualitative and quantitative data, through formal and informal interviews with students and stakeholders, questionnaires, a language diagnostic test, feedback sessions with course observers and evaluators, and the researchers’ notes on students’ performance. The results show that the impact of the TBLT approach not only had a remarkably positive effect on the students’ use of ESP vocabulary and grammar structures but also helped them feel less nervous when being assessed and more prepared to do tasks in real life after participating in in-class simulations. |

Este estudio se implementó en un curso diseñado para un grupo de once estudiantes de la carrera de Bachillerato y Licenciatura en Ingeniería Mecánica de la Universidad de Costa Rica. Ellos externaron sus necesidades, carencias y preferencias académicas con respecto a su nivel de inglés por medio de un análisis de necesidades, efectuado en una etapa inicial del proyecto. Para reunir la información necesaria para diseñar, implementar y evaluar este proyecto de investigación de métodos mixtos, los investigadores recolectaron información cuantitativa y cualitativa; utilizaron entrevistas formales e informales con estudiantes y depositarios, cuestionarios, un examen de diagnóstico del idioma inglés, realimentación brindada por observadores y evaluadores del curso, y las mismas notas de los investigadores. Los resultados demuestran que el impacto del enfoque basado en tareas no solo repercutió positivamente en el uso del vocabulario para fines específicos y en las estructuras gramaticales utilizadas por los estudiantes, sino también ayudó a que los estudiantes se mostraran menos nerviosos a la hora de las evaluaciones y se sintieran más preparados para realizar estas tareas en contextos reales al haber participado en simulaciones dentro de la clase.Escuela de Lenguas Modernas, Universidad de Costa Rica2019-09-12info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleArtículo evaluado por paresartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/epub+zipapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rlm/article/view/38978Journal Of Modern Languages; No. 30 (2019)Revista de Lenguas Modernas; Núm. 30 (2019)2215-56431659-193310.15517/rlm.v0i30reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRenghttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rlm/article/view/38978/39731https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rlm/article/view/38978/39732https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rlm/article/view/38978/39733acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-23T17:32:10Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/38978Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:54:14.460Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse |
