CONCLUCIONS The application of communicative language teaching methodology improved listening and speaking skills in the students, it was easily observed with the final results obtained. There are not enough technological tools in the institution to use them in the classroom in order to have a more dynamic class full of excitement and motivation to achieve the purpose of learning a foreign language. Students really enjoy the time devoted to the English class because teachers have the charisma to engage students, but this is not enough at the moment of the learning process. Teachers almost use the whiteboard most of the time, which seems to be boring for the students who want to have a more authentic and active class.

RECOMMENDATIONS I would recommend to apply the communicative language teaching methodology in the Institution to improve the students' listening and speaking skills, with a special teachers’ training in this methodology. The technological tools must be increased, specially in the English area because the current teaching needs to use TICs, web pages and technological devices to enhance students’ skills in a holistic way. Teachers should be motivated by the Institution with permanent trainings in the area. Teachers have to use a variety of tools to catch the students’ attention in class and get good results.
