Teaching English to children is challenging for teachers when implementing didactic strategies to promote language learning effectively and dynamically. So, the objective was to identify the didactic strategies used in teaching English to children in two private educational institutions in Latacunga during the period 2024-2025. The problem addressed was that the didactic strategies were enough to teach English. The research was developed under a qualitative approach and descriptive , method, using a semi-structured interview applied to five English teachers. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the experiences provided by the teachers. The results showed that teachers use active strategies such as games, dramatizations, and roleplays. The teachers also used technological strategies such as: Spotify, Kahoot, Duolingo, Quizziz, YouTube, and online platforms. For speaking and writing strategies teachers used: roleplays, interviews, calligraphy, spelling, sounds, dramatization, TBL and creative writing. For reading and listening strategies teachers or used songs, stories audiobooks, illustrated texts, stories and shared readings. It is concluded that the balanced application of didactic strategies favors the teaching-learning process of English.
