The use of supplementary materials in EFL classes: A comparative analysis of public and private high schools research done in order to achieve the Bachelor’s Degree in Teaching English as a foreign language

Abstract:

This research is about the use of supplementary materials and a comparative analysis on their use between a public and a private high school. The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not teachers use supplementary materials, and if they are used how pertinent, appropriate, and qualified those materials are. It took place in two high schools in Guayaquil, one public and one private. The observed classes were of senior years, and the students are from sixteen to eighteen years old. In order to gather data two methods were used. The qualitative method was applied to gather information of the observed classes in order to determine the pertinence, appropriateness, and quality of the supplementary materials. The quantitative method was used to obtain the frequency of use of supportive resources, and tabulate them. The pertinence, appropriateness, and quality of the resources used in the private school were better than the ones of the public school, where the whiteboard was the most used material. In contrast, in the private high schools the use of supplementary material was more diversified
