The English language has become practically the main language for cultural and business communication, due to the same demand the language has around the world, since most Latin American countries have started to learn learning English in their teaching curriculum, making it possible to obtain a satisfactory job opportunity in the future. So, teaching of foreign languages such as English is a complex process which involves designing methodological strategies by teachers, which must be clearly didactic, facilitating the learning and development of the student's linguistic abilities in accordance to their communicative needs, however, the way of teaching foreign languages is related to the predominant linguistic approach, there has being a close relationship between the existing linguistic theory and the teaching methodology applied in the English class.

For the development of this research was carried out a survey to 44 students of the institution, in order to identify the incidence of the interaction patterns and the speaking skills development. Also, to analyze if methodologies are established to increase the speaking skills development in the English language. Once the survey was applied, it was found that the teacher does not use interaction patterns for the speaking skills development. It was also identified that the teacher does not make or develop original activities in order to help them to increase speaking skills, resulting in disregard and boredom by them, since they do not have the desire to practice the speaking skill.

It is for the above reasons that the present study intends to analyze, how the analogy for the development of English language skills is applied, being directly the beneficiaries of this project the students of the second semester of the faculty of human sciences and education, from the Technical University of Ambato, and in turn the teachers since methodologies will be established to try to create interactive activities to improve the level of Speaking skills in the English language
