Advantages and disadvantages of the thinkpair-share technique to enhance speaking skill. La Libertad UPSE, Matriz. Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación e Idiomas. 44p.UPSE-TPI-2024-0034https://repositorio.upse.edu.ec/handle/46000/12067The Think-Pair-Share technique in classroom teaching can be a very useful and effective tool to help students improve oral communication skills in cooperative work. This study will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the Think-Pair-Share technique considering the challenges that hinder its continuous practice in institutions. The problem is based on drawbacks such as group distractions leading to students wasting time in non-classroom-related talks and activities, as well as certain limitations such as the arrangement of classroom furniture. These factors have a negative influence on the academic performance of students due to low motivation and lack of confidence in speaking because oral expression skills are not good. Within the research using a teacher interview, we seek to explore perceptions and experiences when applying the Think-Pair-Share technique. This research will provide valuable information for educators about the think-pair-share technique and its benefits in speaking skills, as well as strategies to overcome obstacles in its implementation.engopenAccessAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Ecuadorhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ec/THINK-PAIR-SHARE TECHNIQUEADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGESCOOPERATIVE LEARNINGSPEAKING SKILLSbachelorThesis
