To describe the use of “ADAPTING” as a methodological strategy to develop authentic communication with students of Décimo Año de Educación Básica “B” at Unidad Educativa “Jaime Roldós Aguilera”, in Colta Canton, Chimborazo Province, during the academic period 2017-2018

This research focuses on analyzing the use of “ADAPTING” as a methodological strategy to develop authentic communication with students of Décimo Año de Educación Básica “B” at Unidad Educativa “Jaime Roldós Aguilera” in Colta Canton, Chimborazo Province. The study is based on the qualitative approach through an observation process focused on describing the problem characteristics, considering scientific and empirical about the use of adapting as a methodological strategy to develop authentic communication with students. The ethnographic method and the direct observation technique were used to collect the necessary information to develop the research. The results evidenced that most of the time the teacher focuses just on completing or fulfilling the tasks in the book, it could not be evidenced any activity in which the students had to talk about themselves using the grammar or vocabulary developed in the workbook. The students are not capable to initiate, maintain and end even a so basic conversation, they can just answer isolated questions such as: What is your name? How old are you? Where do you live? When they were challenged to continue the conversation by asking and answering other questions about their neighbourhood, family, likes, dislikes, customs, traditions, culture, they could not. The lack of vocabulary was evident since they were constantly asking for English words to try to express their ideas. Even though they have developed the activities in their work-book, they cannot use these issues. It is recommended to enhance the practice opportunities, the teacher should be conscious that to speak English, her students have to speak in this language every single opportunity they have and she has to manage to create the contexts to encourage the students to use the knowledge they acquire in class
