Introduction: This paper addresses a transcendental theme in contemporary society, the treatment of cultural diversity in foreign language classes. This arises as part of the experience accumulated by the author in the development of the teaching-learning process of English as a second foreign language with students of different nationalities for several years.Materials and methods: Scientific observation of this process, analysis and synthesis, among other methods, allowed us to determine shortcomings in the treatment of resistance offered by students of different nationalities to carrying out teaching activities in teams in language classes. foreigners.Results: The work provides general considerations about the development of teamwork or small groups as a study skill. At another time, groups of students who have been studying a Bachelor's degree in Spanish for non-Spanish speakers at the University of Havana are characterized.Discussion: The purpose of the report is to develop in students the culture of respect for individual differences in flexible and reflective environments of interaction when working in small groups or teams and thereby generalize practices with other teachers who work with this type of student.Conclusions: The proposal for the promotion of a culture of diversity with students from different nations and regions presented showed that it is possible to work in flexible and reflective teams from different habits, customs and traditions.

Introduction: Attention - Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADH) is one of the most frequently diagnosed childhood diseases. However, in public educational units, especially in the Pujilí canton, there is no proper training on the part of the teacher to detect this deficiency and carry out an English class with the appropriate methodology and didactic material. To describe the object of this research on ADHD, some previous studies were analysed to understand how we, as future teachers, can identify and work with students with this type of learners. Materials and methods: The data set was analysed from fourth grade students from the Belisario Quevedo Educative Unit parallel B and F, who were evaluated according to their behaviour, level comprehension of English and how they would like to learn. Results:The data shows that two tenth grade students were detected with ADHD because they presented difficulties in completing the tasks assigned in class. Discussion: In addition, based on the results obtained in the teacher survey, it can be highlighted that it is of the utmost importance that teachers have good management, distribution and control of the classroom. Conclusions: Finally, it was determined that the students evaluated did not perform sufficiently to achieve the skills and sub-skills in the English language, so they were placed at level A1. Therefore, teachers use the CLT method and games as an effective strategy for teaching English as a foreign language.

Introduction: The present investigation aims to analyze the incidence of socio-emotional factors in the student dropout rate of the ESPAM Leveling, from a qualitative point of view and not only quantitative, considering that this phenomenon should not focus only on figures and statistics, but also in the individual diagnosis of people with various problems. Materials and methods: With this intention, a descriptive methodological approach was proposed, which began from the bibliographic review, identifying the main causes that lead to the increase in dropout rates, through a situational diagnosis, which allowed the generation of an action plan to increase student retention levels. Results: The application of field research tools such as the semi-structured interview and the survey, allowed a real approach to the problem, identifying factors related to the social environment and family environment, academic status and university environment, and the emotional aspect; such as conflicting interpersonal relationships, non-vocation, economic reasons, lack of motivation and high level of stress; Therefore, it is evident that socio-emotional behavior is closely related to the probability of desertion. Discussion: The resignation or academic desertion is linked to the availability of hours of those who work, to the uncertainty of job placement once received and, in some cases, to psychological or emotional aspects (fear of tests). Conclusions: The most repetitive dropout factors in the Leveling of the Higher Polytechnic Agricultural School of Manabí, are mainly the economic situation and the lack of vocation or little vocational orientation, attributable to the great crisis that the country went through, especially in the period Pandemic and, to the limited existing academic offer.

Introduction: The presence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the educational context has motivated the incorporation of new digital educational resources into teaching-learning. This requires updating the traditional methods and procedures of teaching and learning, which are ineffective in these circumstances. The University of Holguín, in compliance with its virtualization policy, trains teachers in the use of technologies, which favors their innovative attitude. Materials and methods: The integration of Learning Objects (LO), identified as a digital teaching medium, is an example of this; however, there are not enough theoretical-methodological references to facilitate its proper use. As a result of the investigative work of the authors and with the support of the pedagogical sciences, the methodological procedures for the didactic planning of the LOs are proposed. Results: These contemplate different stages: planning (self-preparation and analysis), design, development, implementation and evaluation. As a template to develop the OA, the eXeLearning author software is used, free of charge and easy to use for creators who are not programming specialists. Discussion: In the organization or design stage, the structure of the task that contains the LO is proposed to carry out the independent study. Conclusions: The usability evaluation is carried out from the opinions of student and teacher users. To this end, two instruments were applied based on the established criteria, which grant the status of teaching medium to the Learning Objects.

Introduction: The Social Community practice is elaborated to help the population that presents situations of vulnerability. Materials and methods: The age of the respondents shows that the population of Camarones is represented in a greater proportion by children and adolescents. Most of the child population is not cared for under the Child Development Center modality. Results: The results show that the majority of families in the Camarones parish have their own home. The coverage provided by Mies for care for the elderly, in gerontology services are scarce, since there is a large population in the parish that is not receiving this benefit. Discussion: The Social Work professional in any case should project their social diagnoses on substantial investigative processes where they should not limit themselves to knowing what happened; but rather to mark the ground on the bases on which the actions to be programmed as intervention proposals will be developed. Conclusions: The data reflects that the collection system is insufficient and does not cover the entire parish, which is why the community uses alternative means to dispose of garbage.
