Abstract: (spanish)
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue realizar un diagnóstico para determinar si el Microcurrículo influye en el desarrollo de las competencias comunicativas en el aprendizaje del idioma inglés en los estudiantes de la Escuela de Ingeniería en Ecoturismo, Facultad de Recursos Naturales de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, en la ciudad de Riobamba. Esta investigación se enmarco en la teoría constructivista debido a que el docente junto con los estudiantes son protagonistas de construir su propio conocimiento de acuerdo a sus necesidades y contexto que viven. La investigación fue de campo, documental y bibliográfica porque se investigó en el lugar de los hechos a través de la recolección de información y con la asociación de las variables de estudio, las mismas que permitieron determinar cómo influye el diseño microcurricular de inglés sobre el desarrollo de las competencias comunicativas de los estudiantes. Los resultados obtenidos fueron tabulados, analizados, interpretados y sometidos a la prueba estadística Chi cuadrado; prueba que permitió comprobar las hipótesis y obteniendo como resultado que el Microcurrículo si influye en el desarrollo de las competencias comunicativas, ya que dentro de los contenidos no existen suficientes actividades prácticas tendientes a facilitar el mejor desarrollo de las destrezas. Es así, que se ha propuesto rediseñar la planificación microcurricular e implementar el uso de manuales con actividades prácticas tendientes a desarrollar las habilidades básicas del idioma inglés: un texto con actividades para estudiantes y un texto guía con sus respuestas para el docente.
