For this purpose, the specialized literature on oral communication was consulted, as well as Almerich (2018), Loachamín (2019), Martínez (2007), Romo (2015) and other authors and related topics. The methodology integrates a socio-critical paradigm and a qualitative approach, complemented by Action Research and Kemmis’ (1989) phases. Likewise, various techniques and instruments are used to collect and analyze information such as documentation, participant observation, focus groups and field diaries, given that they specify the theoretical and pedagogical bases of the teaching-learning guide by means of eight different activities that the students must develop in order to strengthen their oral communication skills. After the application, it is established that collaborative work promotes the development of new competences: self-assertion, regulation, reflection, argumentation, respect, listening, creativity and self-regulation. Finally, it is concluded that a person learns to express himself in the daily life of the classroom, family, home, neighborhood and other scenarios.
