The goal is to support students’ weakness and difficulties in reading and writing skills to improve their English language level. A need analysis based on reading and writing was carried out in class and some instruments were applied to determine students failed causes. Different classroom observations were followed out, and students’ attitudes to English Class were considered. A pre-test to measure student’s language level was applied. Some findings showed a significant lack of motivation towards language learning. Students showed special interest in digital activities, like games, or online challenges. An important necessity to increase and expand the use of technology in the classroom was detected. For mentioned reasons, an on-line improvement reading and writing course was designed. Some researchers’ guidelines for designing Effective E-learning English Teaching Materials were applied to design the course using “Chamilo LMS” e-learning platform.

Esta propuesta de curso en línea de lectura y escritura está diseñada para estudiantes de octavo grado que han mostrado un bajo rendimiento en lectura y escritura en su clase de inglés en la Escuela Gimnasio Moderno María Auxiliadora en Fusagasugá. El objetivo principal es apoyar las debilidades y dificultades de los estudiantes en las habilidades de lectura y escritura para mejorar su nivel de inglés. Se realizó un análisis de necesidades en clase; Se aplicaron algunos instrumentos para determinar las causas fallidas de los estudiantes. Se siguieron diferentes observaciones en el aula y se consideraron las actitudes de los estudiantes hacia la clase de inglés. Se aplicó una prueba previa para medir el nivel de idioma del alumno. Algunos hallazgos mostraron una falta significativa de motivación hacia el aprendizaje de idiomas. Los estudiantes mostraron especial interés en actividades digitales, como juegos o desafíos en línea. Se detectó una necesidad importante de aumentar y ampliar el uso de la tecnología en el aula. Por las razones mencionadas, se diseñó un curso de lectura y escritura de mejora en línea. Se aplicaron las pautas de algunos investigadores para diseñar materiales de enseñanza de inglés e-learning efectivos para diseñar el curso utilizando la plataforma de aprendizaje electrónico "Chamilo LMS".
