In order to achieve this objective, during this study, different tools were applied.

With the quantitative method, questionnaires, and surveys applied to the pupils, it was possible to stablish that the students had a poor knowledge of vocabulary. With all these information in hand a proposal was designed to cover the students’ needs, and with the benefit of the Task-Based Language Teaching activities, it was possible to build a custom Didactic Guide for the students, always having in mind their most liked activities to perform during English lessons, this guide will become a very useful tool for the teacher to provide the students a different interesting method that can include every one of them during the development of each lesson, while practicing and improving all the four language skills required to obtain the English proficiency.
