Resumen

The authors of this article conceive a system of language games to contribute to the development of the speaking ability on tenth graders at Miguel Espinosa Cabrera Senior High School in Campechuela Municipality. The practical value has its grounds on the solution it offers through a system of language games to one of the problems in tenth graders´ English teaching learning process today- the development of students’ speaking ability taking into consideration the current educational transformations and the demands of the Cuban society. In spite of teacher´s preparation and taking into account all the hard work carried out, there are still insufficiencies that tenth graders present according to the speaking ability. In this article, the authors demonstrate the usefulness of language games at the time of teaching a foreign language.
