Background:
information and communication technologies have become meaningful resources inherent to the development of all spheres of life; so it is difficult to underestimate the key role they play in the teaching-learning process.

Methods:
a descriptive research was carried out at Holguín University of Medical Sciences during the 2019-2020 academic year. The materialist dialectical method was assumed as the general methodological conception of the research and others of the theoretical level were used: analysis and synthesis, induction-deduction, systemic-structural-functional and modeling; empirical ones: documentary analysis, survey, class observation; and statistical procedures.
Results:
the main difficulties were related to the limitations in the treatment of the different linguistic abilities in English; Interest was found in the inclusion of information and communication technologies in the teaching-learning process because they are motivating tools for learning, so a proposal of teaching tasks was developed to solve these aspects.
Conclusions:
the research work carried out allows revealing the insufficiencies in the development of language skills in English. The opinions and evaluations of specialists collected through personal exchange and joint analysis of the participants make possible to demonstrate the relevance of its implementation.
