Resumen en español

Students, in the secondary schools use English as a spoken language less frequently inside the classroom and this has become one of the major challenge for most foreign language teachers. This project describes a research experience carried out in the public-school Policarpa Salavarrieta, in 2018. The study was conducted in one classroom of 35th students, but with a sample of 11 students over 8 months. The data was collected through video recordings of the projects performed by the students, rubrics, journals and field notes after each project. The results of the research allowed us to analyze the different implications of student’s emotional intelligence through interactive and environmental projects among young students who are considered as novice English speakers. It can also be considered as an attempt to understand the influence of emotions on students speaking skill development taking into account the project-based Learning.
