Abstract

The learning of diphthongs and triphthongs involves complex phonological processes in primary education; persistent difficulties remain in their mastery, along with limited empirical evidence regarding digital strategies specifically designed for linguistic microcontent. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of implementing a didactic strategy based on Canva on the learning of diphthongs and triphthongs in fourth-grade students of Basic General Education. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach with a pre-experimental pretest–posttest design involving 30 students. A four-week intervention based on guided tasks using Canva was implemented and analyzed through descriptive procedures. The intervention showed improvements in identification, classification, application, and correct use of diphthongs and triphthongs, with greater progress observed in recognition and categorization, indicating conceptual advancement following a structured sequence. The integration of guided tasks and digital visual mediation represents a viable alternative for addressing phonological microcontent; however, controlled and longitudinal studies are required to estimate transferability and stability of learning outcomes.
