Abstract

Abstract: The incorporation of information technologies in pedagogical practices in recent years is increasingly present within this area. Since boys and girls have greater capacity and brain agility to learn, for this reason, it is important to reinforce academic activities outside the school day, for this reason, the present research is proposed, with the objective that this population has that initiative to learn, that they carry out activities, that are playful and entertaining as well as functional. Since this language of English requires progressive learning and from a very early age. This research project aims to integrate the knowledge about programming and software architecture acquired after the academic training process, to create a mobile application focused on teaching - learning the English language to boys and girls from 5 to 9 years of age from the "El Tena" neighborhood located in the Amaguaña parish, province of Pichincha, through the incorporation of gamification and push notifications. To create this application, it will be important to set up a development environment based on client-server architecture, where users can interact without interruptions. SCRUM was used as an agile development methodology and the MVC design pattern, together with the use of the Androd Studio programming languages and MySQL as a database in its latest version. As a result of this development, a fully functional and intuitive application is obtained to eradicate the problem of learning this language, as well as increase motivation and study of it.
