Abstract

The objective of this research was to diagnose the pedagogical strategies in the teaching of a “second language” (L2), which teachers should use to achieve more efficient learning by students of the Bachelor of Telematics Engineering, who attend from the first to the eighth semester during the 2020A calendar at the Centro Universitario de la Costa (CUCOSTA), belonging to the Network of the University of Guadalajara. For this purpose, the methodological design of this research was descriptive and transversal with a mixed approach (quantitative-qualitative). Data collection was carried out through the design of an instrument in which it was structured in 135 questions, with a convenience sample of 79 students, selected from a total of 257 from the aforementioned institution. The results of this research answered each of the questions posed, as well as the working hypothesis; In which it was proposed to train teachers in the design of various methodological strategies within a constructivist model, a pedagogical approach that prioritizes active and meaningful student learning, which are appropriate for the development of competencies by students in learning a second language that allows them to develop skills to reach a better level of English, which is reflected in better academic preparation and in addition to strengthening their graduation profile.
