    The main objective of this research was to improve oral expression skills by activating 10th-grade vocabulary for an A1 level in technical schools, along with the pronunciation of these words. To address this issue, a technological proposal was developed, consisting of a system of activities using the Wordwall application, which allowed students to engage, develop, and strengthen their oral skills. Throughout the research process, a mixed-methods approach (quantitative and qualitative) was used, along with data collection instruments such as pre- and post-tests, teacher interviews, student surveys, and a satisfaction questionnaire for learners. The initial diagnosis revealed observable deficiencies in speaking aspects such as comprehension, pronunciation, fluency, and interactive communication. Consequently, after implementing the system of activities and conducting the post-test, measurable and verifiable improvement in students' speaking skills was evidenced, thanks to the execution of reliable and meaningful activities based on topics that were attractive to the students. It is recommended to design future activity systems or lesson plans with engaging and original themes for students with similar characteristics, in order to enhance other language skills.
