ABSTRACT: This
study’s general objective was to determine the influence of the factors that
impact the English language teaching during the transition from primary to
secondary school in eighth-grade students in public education in Guayaquil
city. The current research was developed under the positivist approach, with a
non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational type. A 24
response items questionnaire gathered quantitative data through a survey technique
with a sample of 469 English teachers. The results obtained indicate the
relationship between English language learning acquired by the students and the
required preparation to face academic content in greater quantity and
complexity. It also shows the teacher-student relationship, considering the
need for the teacher to apply higher and progressive content adapted to the
results of the diagnosis of previous knowledge in students and the
implementation of activities that promote the establishment of close
relationships with the student.
