For this reason, Teun Van Dijk discourse theories were analyzed, wich serve as the foundation for the development of discursive skills of eighth parallel year “ei” students at the “Pedro Balda Cucalón” Fiscal Educational Unit. The leve lof verbal skills of the students was determined through the application of the interview technique and the rubric and Predi test instruments. The results indicated an insufficient leve lof discursive skills and knowledge. Subsequently, theoretical aspects of discourse were delimited, such as semantics, cognition, and pragmatics. Thus, a workshop was proposed to archieve the objetive of improving students discursive skills. This research follows a mixed approach with a greater emphasis on qualitative methods, as a specific quantitative educational group was studied using the aforementioned instruments. It has an explanatory level as it addresses the identified problem and seeks it causes. The main methods employed include the hermeneutic approach for analyzing various books and proposals by Teun Van Dijk, and the bibliographic approach for compiling, analizing, and integrating all the detailed aspects in the conceptual framework. In this way, the linnguists theories were analyzed for the development of applied discursive skills through an interactive and Dynamic worshop.
