    Learning a new language has always been complicated but rewarding for students, it has always been said that if to learn a new language it is necessary to use our mother tongue or learning should be authentic only with the use of the new foreign language for a better exposure to it. The focus of this research is to determine if the use of the mother tongue influences the learning of the English language and the development of the speaking skill. This was a descriptive research with a mixed approach in a qualitative and quantitative design with a group of 26 participants. They were from an intermediate B1 and advanced level of English at “Glenn Doman” school. At the beginning of the research, a checklist and a survey were developed. The observations to students and teachers were completed in four sessions for each level. At the end a survey was applied only to the students to take into account their point of view about this problem. Finally, the data gathered was analysed using Chi-Cuadrado statistical test. The results demonstrated that the use of the mother tongue in speaking skill influences students when learning the English language.

    The current study is aimed to analyze how the Voa app supports listening comprehension of third-year high school students from Unidad Educativa Juan Leon Mera “La Salle”. First, the design of this study was quasi-experimental, in which 50 students from two courses were included. The experimental group had a population of 20 students and the control group had 30 students, a standardized Cambridge A2 flayers test was applied to both groups in order to know the level of listening comprehension that the students had. Afterward, the intervention was carried out to the experimental group to which 6 activities designed with the Voa app were applied such as: discussions, completion activities, open- ended questions, work groups, games and sentence structures of the foreign language. The duration of this study was 3 weeks, 2 classes each week through the team’s platform. At the end of the treatment, the post-test was applied to both groups to compare the results, the progress obtained with the experimental group was 2.37/4, it showed that the Voa app significantly supported the listening comprehension of the students. Finally, the results of listening comprehension were analyzed using a T test, in which the effectiveness of the hypothesis was verified.
