Thus, the study was oriented in the quantitative paradigm with a descriptive pre- experimental design, making use of theoretical methods for the historical and conceptual foundation of the object of study, in addition to the application of empirical methods for data collection, through the use of instruments such as the observation guide, pedagogical test and teacher interview. As a result of the intervention, the data obtained from the post-test in contrast to the pre-test evidenced favorable changes in the knowledge of the study subjects, based on this it is concluded that the implementation of the TPRS strategy has a positive influence on the development of English language vocabulary.
