Abstract

In the age of globalization, communication is a relevant aspect that requires efficient and dynamic methods of teaching-learning, which implies a challenge, ever more demanding for languages' teachers. Taking into account that textbooks may not be an appropriate tool for certain contents or in many cases in our country for the lack of these in the classroom, this research project aims to identify the students’ interests and preferences to design material that can be used in Learning Centers, which is a successful pedagogical strategy in some English countries. We as teachers need to bear in mind the interests and preferences in the introduction of different materials in the classroom dynamics to increase students' engagement and motivation in such a way that our students can learn and enjoy English classes at the same time.
