Abstract

Acquiring knowledge about a language, in this case, English is a crucial point in the educational system of Ecuador; this new language is essential for the fact being handled around the world; in Ecuador, educational institutions should guide their students to this new language as it offers more excellent knowledge and development for their future. However, most institutions carry out this process guided by traditional methods, using textbooks, audio, and other resources. These methods are pretty tedious for some student at the time of learning, lacking originality and adaptability; that is why this research project was born, which is called "Short educational videos for the development of listening skills of younger students." Qualitative research was carried out to analyze the effectiveness of the use of short educational videos that develop the teaching of listening comprehension in English as an educational resource. This research project has five chapters that provide theoretical information supporting and sustaining the research; in the final chapter, it is shown whether it is feasible to use these resources and if it is possible to implement a more educational class with the facility for different students to absorb knowledge quickly or otherwise continue with a more traditional methodology as it is typically carried out in institutions.
