Tecnology increased amazingly and provided the world with unimaginable ways of living. Then, the world felt the strong necessity for making English the lenguage everybody spoke and learned to face all the challenges. However, people learning English knew exactly what they studied it for: to sell and buy products, to intruct and perform instructions, to catch up on the developments of each field of study, etc. Moreover, the use of the English language by tecnical students in Ecuador is not taken much into consideration due to the environment where they work. Students who need the English language as a part of their lives are Computing Science Students. They spend most of the time dealing with endless sources of written technical materials. Unfortunately, there is not enough help they can ask for when trying to comprehend such materials.
