Students at a Colombian high school lacked English listening and speaking skills. While learning a new language is a long process, listening from an early stage is important even if students understand little at first. In the observed class, there was no interaction in English, a focus only on writing and reading, and the teacher spoke only in Spanish. To develop English skills, teachers must set a rule to use only English in class and incorporate audio tools to expose students to real English pronunciation and accents, as the teacher was non-native.
