Resumen
This thesis explores the design and implementation of a critical action
research , undertaken to show how motivation and practice with authentic material
can help students reduce anxiety and acquire better results while facing the
English SIMCE test. The study applied consisted on three cycles of an action
research method over the course of five weeks in a catholic subsidized school in
Maipú employing mixed-methods of data collection and analysis. All the
intervention took place in an English workshop offered by the school to tenth grade
students, in which 10 students attended . At the end , results show us that students
not only improved their scores, but also felt more comfortable, less anxious and
had a more positive attitude towards the English SIMCE test they will sit for next
year.
