    The educational process requires elements that favor its success, among them are teacher preparation, student predisposition, methodology, resources, undeniably the macro-curricular is also important. This paper addresses a relevant topic such as the "Blended learning approaches to improve Ninth Grade student's English oral skills", with the general objective increase speaking skills in the students from 9th grade through the implementation of Blended Learning activities through the use of WhatsApp as an alternative platform. We work in a rural context, in a predominantly Quichua-speaking sector, which provides more important elements to the research work. To achieve the proposed objective, a mixed methodology is used that combines the qualitative and quantitative, that is, it auscultates the characteristics of the study variables, theoretically substantiating their understanding and describing their details, but also carries out a field study, with the use of data collection techniques and instruments such as interview, observation, survey with their respective questionnaires and records. The results show a clear interest of students in the use of dynamic, innovative resources such as those promoted using blended learning to improve oral skills in English. It is concluded that the transition from the traditional to innovations attracts attention, favors learning and achieves the skills with performance criteria and competencies that students require in their gradual learning process.
