Through this, it was identified the aspects that affect negatively the learning process as well as the difficulty that students have in their study surroundings. It was found that students demand motivation from teachers as well as the use of appropriate techniques and strategies to transfer their knowledge to students. It is recommended that teachers use motivational teaching techniques, so that students can feel stimulated when learning this language since it is necessary to develop skills in oral and written communication with a permanent sense of exchange and cooperation which will provide greater security to students when reading and writing English.
