It is important to consider several aspects in order to develop an English class; teachers need to create meaningful activities to foster students to be involved and interested. Unfortunately, Mexican society has a difficult situation about teaching English, the context. Most of students do not see English like an opportunity, and they consider that English class is not useful, because in their environment they do not apply the class contents. It could be a social or economic problem, but the most important point is how teachers improve their classes in order to use different strategies to get students’ attention.
