RESEARCH PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE
Step 1: Design and apply activities
In the class, various teaching tools were used that proved to be effective in improving the motivation and active participation of the students. First, Padlet was used, a collaborative tool that allowed students to reflect and share their personal experiences related to the topic. This activity not only encouraged active participation but also helped establish an emotional connection with the topic, which is essential for meaningful learning. In addition, genially was used, a visual presentation tool
that presented vocabulary in a dynamic and attractive way. This tool made vocabulary comprehension and retention easier as students were able to see and hear the words in context. The visual presentation also helped maintain students' attention and reduce anxiety associated with learning a second
language. Another tool used was Wordwall, an interactive learning platform that provided activities and games to practice vocabulary and comprehension. These activities stimulated vocabulary practice
and listening comprehension, which is essential to improve listening and comprehension when learning a second language. Additionally, an online form (Google Forms) was used to assess understanding and identify areas for improvement. This tool provided instant feedback and allowed students to reflect on their own learning. Regarding the relationship with the research, it can be stated that the tools used demonstrated the positive impact of the use of multimedia materials on the motivation and active participation of the students. Additionally, the activities on Wordwall and the online form assessed listening comprehension and the ability to answer questions, improving
listening and comprehension in second language learning. Consequently, it can be concluded that the class used effective strategies to improve learning, such as reflection, sharing of experiences, interactive practice, and instant evaluation. Furthermore, the use of multimedia materials contextualized the topic and improved listening comprehension and vocabulary. In summary, research shows that the use of multimedia materials in second language teaching can have a significant impact
on students' motivation and active participation, as well as improving listening and comprehension. Therefore, it is advisable to incorporate innovative teaching tools in language teaching to improve learning outcomes.
