El inglés es uno de los idiomas más hablados a nivel mundial, y su aprendizaje es crucial para el desarrollo personal en ámbitos académicos, profesionales y de comunicación. En un mundo globalizado, el dominio de una segunda lengua permite un mayor acceso a la diversidad cultural y mejores oportunidades laborales. La destreza de escuchar es esencial para comprender y procesar información auditiva, lo que facilita una comunicación efectiva. Sin embargo, desarrollar esta habilidad en las etapas tempranas de la educación puede ser un desafío significativo. Algunos autores sugieren que el método Montessori centrado en el niño y en el aprendizaje autónomo podría ser valioso para el desarrollo de habilidades lingüísticas. Ecuador, ubicado en el puesto 80 a nivel mundial en dominio del inglés, enfrenta desafíos significativos en la enseñanza de este idioma debido a la falta de una estructura nacional consolidada y déficits en la enseñanza-aprendizaje dentro de las instituciones educativas públicas. La presente investigación se centra en el aprendizaje del inglés mediante el método Montessori en niños de segundo grado, una etapa crucial para el desarrollo de habilidades lingüísticas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar actividades didácticas del método Montessori que favorezcan el desarrollo de la destreza de escuchar en estudiantes de segundo grado de educación general básica de la Unidad Educativa Mariscal Sucre. Los resultados sugieren que la integración de elementos lúdicos y visuales en la enseñanza del inglés puede mejorar la adquisición del idioma en los primeros años escolares.
