Generally, the student concentrates exclusively on the lexical and syntactic levels rather than on the discursive level, that is, textual coherence. For this reason, most students feel that their only sense of security comes from what they have learned about grammar and that grammar is the only tool they can use when writing material in the English language is presented. That is why collaborative learning in the classroom represents an opportunity for teachers, through the design of their activities, to promote in their students the development of skills, attitudes, and values. The objective of this project is to determine the use of collaborative learning and its impact on the development of English language writing skills in the first-year high school students of the "San José de Poalo" Educational Unit. The results indicate that the students do not develop the writing skills of the English language, for various reasons such as the limited time of class hours; a large number of students in the classroom and Lack of interaction due to individual learning which prevents the teacher from checking the correct use of spelling in all studentsItem Homework and students’ Academic Achievement of the English Language in Seventh Year Students at “Planeta Azul(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato.Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la Educaciòn.Carrera de Idiomas, 2019-09-01) Astudillo Neto, Andrea Carolina; Chimbo Cáceres, Elsa MayorieThe purpose of this investigation was to determine the influence of homework in seventh-year students’ academic achievement in “Planeta Azul” School from Ambato city.

These are: practice homework to make learners foster the content learned in class, preparation homework to search for new information before learners start a new class; and the extension homework that is the least used by teachers, which asks students to apply their knowledge and critical thinking in more difficult tasks. Unfortunately; it is causing that students don’t do their homework and inevitably their academic achievement is being affected for the lack of feedback in homework and the inadequate evaluation done by teachersItem Language register and the writing skills in english as a foreign language contexts(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.
