Resumen
This classroom project aimed to implement communicative activities for teaching speaking in a third grade course of thirty students from Sur Oriental School in Pereira. It relies on applying different teaching activities such as miming, role plays, and storytelling in order to improve all the communicative skills in learners, making a stronger emphasis in speaking. The project was developed under the influence of some authors specialized in the field of English language education, whose contributions allowed us to build a theoretical support and a structured implementation where the results were very significant for the purpose of this work since some important outcomes related to communicative activities were grasped in order to improve during the implementation of this project. Additionally, the result of applying the strategies and techniques to teach English in a more communicative way allowed us to get a glimpse of what should and what should not be done when planning language lessons. Given the above, it is essential to stress the importance of teaching English with communicative purposes through planning different teaching strategies that engage the students in the lessons, making them more open and willing to cooperate with the facilitator in order to improve their abilities in the English language.
