This research aimed to understand the importance of language skills, called auditory comprehension, oral expression, reading and writing, in English classes, having as research territory the Center for Language Studies (CEL) of the Faculty of Languages of the Federal University of Amazonas (FLET-UFAM), based on the assumption that the idea of interlocution results from the construction of a set of language practices, in which language is the code of interaction, is what makes the use of communication in a productive and receptive way. The project is based on the principles of the communicative approach, based on the studies of Douglas Brown (1994), Penny your (2006), Jeremy Harmer (2007), Almeida Filho (2008), among other specialists in linguistics applied to language teaching and learning.
