Resumen

The ability to speak a foreign language is considered one of the most difficult aspects in the learning of a second language. In reality, many students find it difficult to express themselves in other language than in their mother’s tongue. Each student has their own problems. The purpose of this study was to find out the helpfulness of Socio – Affective Strategies to improve speaking ability in 8th grade students, at Rigoberto Lopez Perez Institute in Managua. The subjects of the study were 34 students from 8th grade, and 1 teacher of English. Class observation guides, student survey, and an interview to the teacher were used as data collection techniques. This paper aims to point out the helpfulness of socio-affective strategies. The findings suggest that the strategies most suitable for the development of the speaking ability in 8th graders of Rigoberto Lopez Perez Institute are the socio-affective strategies. Students demonstrate that they actively apply the four socio-affective strategies described by O'Malley and Chamot's (1990). The effectiveness of socio-affective strategies is centered on working with others and emphasizing with others. Through the application of the data collection techniques mentioned above we notice some of the factors affecting the development of the speaking ability, also the strategy most important to students of Rigoberto Lopez Perez Institute.
