Sumario:This article is based on the research work is oriented toward the strengthening of communicative skills in the ninth grade of an educational institution in the municipality of Bucaramanga. To this objective, it is proposed the preparation and execution of didactic units that incorporate classroom activities that stimulate students in their communicative processes. To carry out this project was taken into account the qualitative research from the research-action approach since the fundamental element of it is the society, represented in the group of students that are the object of this study. In this way, this work was denominated: Didactic units as strategy for the strengthening of the communicative abilities in the ninth grade students of a public institution of the municipality of Bucaramanga.In principle, it was possible to establish that there is a marked difficulty in the processes of reading comprehension by this group of students. This failure is evident in the results of the SABER tests, which, along with the diagnostic test of language, exposed other difficulties that go beyond what the standardized tests record. Problems in writing skills, oral arguments and difficulties in listening to mates and teachers, add to the poor reading comprehension. As a result of the above, there was a need to implement a series of actions aimed at improving communicative skills for twelve (12) months of implementation and analysis. This process was framed in the formulation of three (3) didactic units that integrated the development of the four communicative skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening), with the focus and orientation of Noam Chomsky's theory of language development, Since this author has excelled in the study and evolution of the communicative skills throughout the development of formative processes in the human beings. The final reflection led to establish that the development of the didactic units proposed here resulted in a noticeable improvement in the communicative processes of the students, and in turn, provided a new perspective of the approach to the subjects from a dynamic model that counted on the Active participation of those involved and is already planned for implementation in other grades and subjects.
