In Latin America the knowledge of the English language is necessary

for everyone, it is one of the priority needs and to which governments

should pay much attention, especially because it is a fundamental

method of communication for the good inclusion of people in this

oneself in one's own language, but also challenges students to

communicate in a foreign language. Networks transmit information

have an educational institution that provides attention to large

sectors especially of scarce economic resources that are located near

the Ciudad Nueva Cooperative. However, the level of knowledge of

the English language in the students of the eighth, ninth and tenth

year of Basic Education has been declining over time, at present the

allocation of five periods per week of class hours will be considered

a failure, then the effort made by the Ministry of Education with the

implementation of the English Curricular Reform and the allocation

of five weekly periods of class hours will be considered a failure,

and the objective of improving the quality of teaching and learning

of the English language will not be achieved.

The students of the National School "Metropolitan District" will not

have the recognition of the community and therefore the institution

will lose credibility when their students enter the university

classrooms and face complicated situations where the low level of
