Executive functions are crucial because they regulate vital processes through cognitive abilities, and they can be applied in the classroom to help seventh-grade students achieve better academic results. The impact of executive functions on language learning is particularly significant in speaking and listening, as they allow adolescents to improve communication and comprehension. This study focuses on working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, self-regulation, motivation, organization, and metacognition as the foundations for language acquisition. By strengthening these areas, seventh-grade students are more likely to learn English effectively and use it appropriately, gaining confidence and preparation when applying the language in the classroom. Additionally, this research proposes strategies based on executive function implementation that teachers can integrate with listening comprehension and oral competence activities. These strategies aim to promote higher levels of performance in both skills, enabling students to successfully achieve the A2 certification required by Colegio Sion for that grade level.108 p.DigitalPDFInglesADOLESCENTSIMPROVE COMMUNICATIONCOMPREHENSION INHIBITORY CONTROLCOGNITIVE FLEXIBILITYSELF-REGULATIONMOTIVATIONTesisEDU-849
