Resumen

It has long been observed that pupils who speak Spanish feel more at ease expressing their thoughts and emotions in a language other than their native tongue. Following their completion of a project in which slogans were created for t-shirts, 142 students from a Peruvian higher education institution provided their opinions for the current study. To achieve this, the students completed a survey that employed a structural equation model to quantify the impact of the latent variables Autonomous Learning (AL), Self-Efficacy (SE), Technology (T), and English Competencies (EC) on Psychological Aspects (PA). One of the most noteworthy results was that students' PA may be favorably and considerably influenced by SE and EC (0.60 and 0.73, respectively). In contrast, the other two variables have either a positive but insignificant impact (T: 0.16) or an inverse influence (AL:-0.45). In terms of the qualitative component, it emphasizes the possibility of conveying sentiments and emotions in the finished production, as well as the favorable perceptions of improved productive English language proficiency. Learning the grammar and syntax of a language that is entirely different from Spanish, as well as the potential time required to become proficient in it, presents one of the challenges faced by the pupils.
