However, significant challenges remain, especially in relation to the effective use of technological tools in the classroom.<strong> Objective: </strong>the purpose of this article is to propose the design of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in Google Sites, aimed at strengthening writing and reading skills in the use of the present simple tense in English, aimed at eighth-grade students of the Educational Unit "Sagrado Corazón de Jesús" Srs. Bethlemitas, in Quito, Ecuador. <strong>Methodology: </strong>a mixed methodology (quantitative-qualitative) with a descriptive and applicative approach was used for the research, which allowed the problem to be addressed in a comprehensive manner. From the quantitative approach, pedagogical tests and structured surveys were applied to evaluate academic performance and the level of mastery of the simple present. At the qualitative level, the perceptions, and attitudes of the students regarding the use of digital resources were analyzed, as well as their relationship with motivation and performance. The descriptive approach allowed the identification of specific difficulties in reading and writing without altering the conditions of the environment, while the application was concretized in a pedagogical proposal based on the findings obtained. <strong>Results: </strong>the results revealed that 76.6% of the students had significant difficulties, in verbal conjugation, question formulation and reading comprehension. Although the majority showed a preference for active methodologies (56.7%) and digital tools (66.7%), only 20% used them regularly. This gap evidenced the need to integrate motivating technologies.<strong> Conclusions: </strong>in view of this, the EVA English Adventures was designed, an interactive proposal that combines visual content, contextualized activities, and dynamic resources to improve language skills and promote a more effective teaching of the simple present. <strong>General Area of Study: </strong>Education. <strong>Specific area of study: </strong>Educational technologies and language learning. <strong>Type of study:</strong> Original.</p> Darwin Fabián Medina Bonilla Deisi Judith Pérez Luisataxi María Beltrán Mesa Josué Reinaldo Bonilla Tenesaca Copyright (c) 2025 AlfaPublicaciones 2025-10-03 2025-10-03 7 4 6 31 10.33262/ap.v7i4.638
