Learning English as a second language today has become a necessary tool to communicate, over the years English has been involved in accelerated growth. In terms of the process of acquiring a second language, it is important that teachers, as well as institutions, collect valuable information to improve cognitive and metacognitive strategies as well as the methodologies that are required to be applied in classes in order to help learners. Studies have proven that all students learn in different ways, that is, all students have unique colours that identify them as learners, so all students have different characteristics about their cognition, metacognition, psychological, affective and physically in which those differences influence the learning of each individual.PDF136 pp.engAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalacceso abiertoSpeaking skillsLearning English as a second languageLearning stylestesis
