The results of this survey showed that both teachers and students have access to and are owners of mobile devices, but they prefer to use smartphones and mobile applications in an average of 2 to 3 hours per day, which facilitates free interaction using this device mobile as a tool for lexicon teaching-learning process in English language. In addition, the surveys allowed to know that it is important to use technology and put aside monotonous activities in the classroom without the active participation of students. For this reason, a Pre – Post Test was applied in order to measure students' knowledge before and after applying viable methodological strategies in the classroom through free applications and the use of cell phones for lexical improvement. It is also necessary to mention that in order to obtain the data and analysis of the results of the pre and post test, the student's T test was used with the statistical program SPSS (Statistics for Social Sciences), which allowed obtaining the proven results. Finally, the results of the research showed the academic impact it had on the students and teachers at the educational unit "San Gerardo", after the adequate application of the "Student Guide" proposed with its different activities; the same allowed to obtain the lexical improvement and to accomplish the proposed objectives.

The data analyzes were performed before and after the classroom work. Once the application of the proposal was completed, the data obtained from the pre-test and the post-test were processed using the Student's Mathematics T test with the statistical software SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The results show that with the application of the graduated readings, the students showed greater interest and great improvement to understand better the vocabulary. Therefore, graded readers contribute to the improvement of student vocabulary learning.

    Las plataformas virtuales libres y el aprendizaje significativo del idioma inglés en los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Hispano América
    (2016) Quintanilla Villacís, Julieta Irene; Gavilánes López, Wilma Lorena
    Virtual platforms set a pedagogical tool to support useful teaching and learning to share information. Higher educational institutions and secondary level education have implemented this tool after an analysis of results of the information gathered at the "Hispano America" high school. It shows that a virtual instructional environment is not applied in the knowledge acquisition process of the English subject, and very few teaching and learning strategies are used to provide significant knowledge of the English language. This study over a population of 464 second year students of that institution has determined to survey not only 210 students, but also the entire population of teachers who teach English. Regarding the survey it seems that there are some strategies to stimulate a meaningful learning that can be used in a virtual learning environment based on the principles of constructivism and aimed at a dynamic, participatory and interactive process xviii among students and teachers. We need both, the application of current teaching resources based on information technology and communication and the new methodologies of collaborative and participative work. Therefore, students would reinforce their knowledge and develop their skills through technological encouragement. The current research has been set to find an alternative to stimulate meaningful learning of the English language by using free virtual platforms and addressing the use of them to improve language learning.
