    Currently, technologies have a great role in people’s lives because it facilitates things. These are used especially for communication, work, traveling, entertainment, study, and others. Educational apps have favored the process of learning in different aspects. Thus, this research is focused on Cake, an English learning app, and its influence on the development of oral fluency. This study was quasi-experimental with the participation of twenty students from the Sixth Semester “B” from the PINE “Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages Career” at Technical University of Ambato. The researcher applied pre-test and post-test to evaluate oral fluency. These tools were standardized taken from IELTS (International English Language Testing System) for speaking. After taking the pre-test the experimental group had to use Cake app every day for three weeks with a duration of ten minutes per day, especially the part of simulating a dialogue like a conversation with a native speaker and recording complete phrases which permitted them to repeat until get an A the maximum score. Consequent to this, the post-test was taken. This study used the T-student statistical test in order to analyze the collect data. The results show that Cake app enhanced oral fluency of the English language

    One of the most common problems that occurs in the English teaching as a foreign language is the low performance of students in oral fluency. This is clearly reflected in the test scores that assess this language ability. This degree work sought to express the results of the learning strategies that can be used to improve the development of oral production. The main objective is to analyze the effects of the application of collaborative learning strategies being one of the factors that are related to the low level of oral fluency. This project is based mainly on the research and selection of collaborative learning strategies to promote an acceptable oral fluency in students from sixth grade at Unidad Educativa “Pichincha”. The study was quasi-experimental with the participation of 36 students from Unidad Educativa “Pichincha'' located in Alobamba- Tisaleo downtown. The researcher randomly divided all the participants into two groups: experimental group and control group. The evaluation instruments were applied to the two groups, the survey served to obtain general information about the two variables. Similarly, the pre - post test and a rubric that evaluates the students' learning criteria. To the experimental group the researcher applied the methodology of the use of collaborative learning strategies for one week, while the control group did not provide any treatment in order to compare the final results of the application of the methodological experiment. In order to analyze the collected data, the researcher used the T-student statistical test. Results showed that the application of collaborative learning strategies increased the level of learning by 58.89%, thus obtaining positive effects on the development of oral fluency as well as collaborative interaction in work groups
