PROBLEM
The lack of English language skills for non-use of active learning strategies in students of
Fourth year Basic at JOSE CARDENAS School in Cuenca, possible solutions for the use of
strategies learning to assist individual students learn the English language and improve
the quality of education.
This school is the lackof enough knowledge particularly from teacher, who are incapable
to guide in a correct way to the learners. English teachers are really concerned with the
difficulty of understanding and learning new advance techniques on Computation.
Computers are increasingly present in the classroombut are used as a tool and not used
for innovation in education. These have enormous potential transformer to be seized
and that requires a change in the role of the teacher, which is the center of the process.
The primary school children use the computer in the classroom at least once a week,
which is not beneficial to either party, the process of learning another language must be
continuous.

4. HOW DO WE DEVELOP THE PROJECT?
To identify the core problem of an institution is a process that is developed at the
beginning of the course. Many English as a second language (ESL) teachers who are non-
native speakers of English have to overcome numerous obstacles to improving their
students’ language abilities, especially when developing speaking and listening skills.
More and more innovative approaches are essential for them to address these problems.
This project is aimed at investigating the use of English language movies in developing
oral and listening skills of student teachers of English.

5. The study researched the method and implications of teaching English professional
communication skills through the project work. The objective of the study was to reveal
the advantages of combining such an advanced teaching method as learners'
professionally oriented project work in the target language with their regular Internet
search on professional Internet sites in English with the purpose of finding project
relevant materials. The project was based on experimentally testing learners' English
speaking, reading, listening and writing skills development in the middle and at the end
of the course. Students' self-assessment of their communication skills development was
also included as a research method. The learning project done by students through the
academic year was compiling in English. The learning outcomes were demonstrated to
be substantially improved when using the suggested approach.
