In this twenty first century, it is known that technological advances have been having a notable influence in teenagers lifestyle. Actually, researchers have identified a situation in a private school in Bogotá, Colombia where eleventh graders use their cell phones interacting with social networks and applications throughout their classes. Consequently, instead of avoiding the use of these devices and apps, researchers decided to take advantage of these technological resources and use them as a support for the English class in order to promote different learning experiences. The pedagogical implementation was divided in six activities which involved the four language skills -speaking, writing, listening and reading- using WhatsApp as a learning tool in order to provide participants with a learning experience in which they could share and interact with their classmates.
