2. INTRODUCTION

The teaching of English, inaddition to its social significance and cultural heritage is an increasingly important discipline in today's world, the high level of scientific and technical development and international cooperation among peoples. However, it has not been easy for specialists at global level, to find a suitable method that can answer certain questions related to foreign language learning in general and English inparticular, in the sense that many graduates of these courses are unable to have an acceptable level of language proficiency.

Throughout the XX and XXI century a variety of methods and techniques have been applied, and are still applied in various parts of the world for teaching foreign languages ​​mainly English today, but the practice has shown that at least in  countries like Ecuador, whereEnglish is taught as a foreign language it is inadequate to develop effectively the four basic skills of language (speaking, listening understanding, reading and writing), and much less to achieve an acceptable command of the different components of language, ie, grammar, semantics, vocabulary and pronunciation.
