Resumen en español

The ability to communicate in a second language is important for the social and intellectual development of students as it allows them to communicate effectively and assertively within today’s global society; thus, teaching and learning English as the world's universal language represents access to knowledge and opportunities for pupils. The present paper intends to present the internship process in the area of English that was carried out at the Villa Margarita Educational Institution. In this way, the goal of this internship was to help students improve their speaking skills in English. The methodology used was Project Based learning which was carried out in different stages to improve speaking as an important skill in students’ communication process in the English language. Two modalities were implemented to carry out classes, online asynchronous due to the pandemic and its restrictions and face-to-face classes when the pandemic indicators improved and it was possible to return to schools. The results of the project implementation show improvement in the students’ speaking skills, increase in motivation, and their willingness to continue learning the language.
