Development of listening comprehension skills in 8th graders of the Bilingual Experimental High School in Santa Cruz by the promotion of local belonging during online learning

Abstract

This essay explores and analyses the implementation of an original website that collects material and learning activities which help students comprehend, and eventually produce the language prompted by input and insights that correspond to Costa Rican (Santa Cruz’s) interests, people, places, culture, identity, and traditions. Such a resource can also provide students with other means for language comprehension development, through different forms of representation and related-content. Due to the current inability of repeating, inferring, interpreting, and comprehending spoken language in a common physical room, there should be a virtual space in which resources can be organized according to each linguistic objective proposed in MEP’s language program.
