The purpose of this study is to verify the impact of interactional factors in the process of developing the communicative competence of students of the foreign language, English, at the intermediate level. This is justified by the fact that a considerable number of students finish high school without significant advances in relation to their initial levels of linguistic proficiency. Thus, the main objective of this work is to analyze the learning experiences of students classified as beginners in order to investigate which factors are responsible for the evolution of successful students, as well as what factors are responsible for the non-evolution of those who have not been so successful . The learning strategies used by them will also be analyzed because it is possible to incorporate foreign languages into the design and curriculum of learning. Through narratives, questionnaires and interviews, the students' experiences can be retrieved and analyzed in order to show which and how the learning strategies were used by the learners.
