Resumen
- español
  Las narrativas orales: un análisis longitudinal de la precisión lin-güística de profesores de inglés como lengua extranjera en for-mación, es un estudio de caso que explora la mejora del lenguaje oral y describe los errores lingüísticos de 26 docentes chilenos (en formación) de inglés a través de tareas narrativas orales res-paldadas por retroalimentación correctiva en el transcurso de cuatro meses. Las muestras de las narrativas orales se recogie-ron a través de grabaciones de audio, luego se transcribieron y analizaron mediante una rúbrica analítica de precisión lingüísti-ca elaborada a la luz de la revisión de la literatura. Los hallazgos mostraron que las tareas narrativas orales mejoran la precisión lingüística del lenguaje oral eventualmente; se evidenció una mejora estadísticamente significativa. Se pudo concluir que las tareas narrativas orales constituyen un potencial instrumento para mejorar la precisión lingüística del lenguaje oral a lo largo del tiempo.

  Oral narratives: a longitudinal analysis of English as a Foreign Language preservice teachers’ linguistic accuracy, is a case study that explores oral language improvement and describes linguistic errors of 26 English as a Foreign Language Chilean preservice teachers through oral narrative tasks supported by corrective feedback over four months. Oral narrative samples were collected through audio recordings, then transcribed and analyzed using an accuracy analytic rubric that was elaborated considering the literature review. Findings showed that oral narrative tasks improve oral accuracy eventually; a statistically significant improvement was evidenced. It could be concluded that oral narrative tasks might be valuable for enhancing oral accuracy over time.
