Alexa Skills como herramientas de apoyo en una clase de Inglés para el desarrollo de las habilidades de Speaking y Listening

The project has as main objective to use Alexa skills in order to generate more personalize experiences (intents) within a classroom in the English Language teaching creating voice commands. The programmed skills are meant to develop two out of four main abilities a student must acquire when learning English as a second language, Speaking and Listening. The first step in the development methodology was to select the topics the students find more difficult to learn, after that with the help of English teachers different conversation models were generated. In the third step the skills were programmed based on the conversations previously generated. Finally the skills were tested in a classroom by intermediate level students. This project has proved to make English class more interactive, it has also allowed students to develop speaking and listening skills in a more natural way.
