description This is the report of a research proposal that had as its main purpose the identification of the impact of the materials used for teaching an English language course in the institutional English program of a Colombian university. To this end, we made use of the descriptive research parameters to analyze the materials that were being implemented in the program, and of a pre-experimental research to determine the impact of various and new types of materials in the development of oral skills into two groups of students of the fourth level of English. The information was collected through class observation, field notes, surveys, and semi-structured interviews for both students and teachers. Findings show that the course book and non-authentic materials are prevalent in classes, and that through the new materials designed by the research group, students’ communicative com- petence was greatly developed.

Este documento es el reporte de una propuesta investigativa cuyo propósito fue diagnosticar el impacto de los materiales utilizados para la enseñanza del inglés en un curso del programa de inglés institucional de una universidad colombiana. Se acudió a los parámetros de la investigación descriptiva para analizar los materiales que se estaban implementando y a una investigación preexperimental, para determinar el impacto de nuevos y diversos tipos de materiales en el desarrollo de la habilidad oral de los estudiantes en dos grupos de cuarto nivel de inglés. Se recolectó información a través de observación de clases, diarios de campo, encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas a estudiantes y docentes, respectivamente. Se encontró que prevalece el uso del libro guía y materiales no-auténticos en las clases, y que a través de los nuevos materiales diseñados se benefició de manera importante la competencia oral de los estudiantes. Ce document est un rapport d’une proposition de recherche dont le propos a été celui de faire un diagnostic sur l’impact des matériaux utilisés pour l’enseignement de l’anglais, dans un cours d’anglais général d’une université colombienne. On a fait appel aux paramètres de la recherche descriptive pour analyser les matériaux qu’on utilisait, ainsi qu’à une recherche pré-expérimentale, pour déterminer l’impact des nouveaux et di- vers types de matériaux, dans le développement de l’habilité orale des étudiants, dans deux groupes de quatrième niveau d’anglais. On a collecté de l’information à travers l’observa- tion des cours, des journaux de terrain, des enquêtes et des interviews semistructurées aux étudiants et aux enseignants. On a trouvé qu’il prévaut l’utilisation du manuel guide et des matériaux non-authentiques dans les cours. En plus, la compétence orale des étudiants a été bénéficiée, à travers la conception de nouveaux matériaux. Este documento é o relatório de uma proposta de pesquisa cujo objetivo foi diagnos- ticar o impacto dos materiais utilizados para o ensino de inglês em um curso do progra- ma institucional de inglês de uma universidade colombiana. Os parâmetros da pesquisa descritiva foram utilizados para analisar os materiais que estavam sendo implementados e uma pesquisa pré-experimental, para determinar o impacto de novos e diversos tipos de materiais sobre o desenvolvimento da habilidade oral dos estudantes em dois grupos de quarto nível de Inglês. As informações foram coletadas por meio de observação de classe, diários de campo, pesquisas e entrevistas semiestruturadas com alunos e professores, res- pectivamente. Verificou-se que o uso do livro guia e de materiais não autênticos prevalece nas aulas, e que através dos novos materiais projetados a competência oral dos alunos beneficiou-se de maneira importante.
