Sammanfattning:This study began with an examination of the English learning needs of eighth grade learners at the 10 de Agosto private school. Aspects such as motivation in students using technology and ICT, the role of technology in education, and the advantages of using technology for foreign language learning were analyzed. This study also presents a testing stage of the materials designed to fulfill the needs of the students who participated in this study. Based on the data collected, this study provides information about students’ diagnostic evaluation, surveys to teachers, a CD, and a grammar booklet. During the development of the project, the design, implementation and testing of an interactive CD were performed. The CD was designed as a means to provide support and practice through audiovisual and integrated learning. Moreover, to accompany the CD, a corresponding booklet was designed for students to practice grammar, so their English learning practices could improve. The main goal was to reinforce proper construction of sentences among 8th graders at the levels A1.1 and 1.2, which is beyond what the Ministry of Education English Curriculum requires (Ministerio de Educación, 2016a).
