The Unidad Educativa Fiscal Mixta Central la Inmaculada was created on August 25th of 2008, with the purpose of offering an education of excellence to the citizens of Cuenca. The current investigation intends to demonstrate that through an interactive method of study, the educational community could be part of an innovative teaching and learning process in the field of English. The teaching method is “Task-Based Language Teaching” which acronym is “TBLT”, it involves a teaching method where the student is at the core of the learning process and the teacher is a moderator of the process. For the control group, observations were done in the initial phase and then the application of the method. As for the treatment group, the researchers prepared regular lesson plans. In order to develop the mentioned lesson plans, it was considered that the content and the activities match with the students’ reality for both groups. After the treatment, the researchers proceeded to analyze the obtained data and to present them through tables and graphs. The use of the language according to the students’ real situations reflects the main achievement of working with the applied method. Thanks to the study conducted, the authors of this paper have seen the positive impact it brings to involve a group of students with a new learning method where they construct their knowledge with the teacher’s guidance.
