The article describes a process carried out during 2016 at the Center for Industry, Enterprise and Services SENA, Huila Regional, which was successful in achieving the goal of strengthening English language skills. The project had the daily accompaniment of foreign volunteers, who interacted during 4 hours a day with the apprentices of the Technological Course in Industrial Automation, addressing technical issues and promoting integral training. The strategy sought to generate confidence to practice the language, reducing the affective filter that generates obstacles in learning, taking into account the opinions of the apprentices and the other participants of the activity.
