Abstract | This research work consisted in the implementation of a plan in which, by way of treatment, it was possible to improve the levels of assessment competences of the foreign language, of the non-qualified teachers of English of the middle level, Districts 11-01 and 11-02 of the Regional of Education of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic The purpose of this process was to solve the discrepancies detected between the teaching processes and evaluation of the same. In order to carry out this project, the group of these new teachers was submitted to a pre-test or diagnostic test, in order to determine their previous capacities. They were then given an induction course to assess English according to the parameters of the so-called communicative language approach, which lasted 10 weeks and was developed in 120 hours. At the end of the process they were given a second test or post-test, which resulted in an increase of 81.25%, as an expression of the improvements obtained in the evaluation competencies of the participants. It is hoped that these achievements will contribute to the formulation of similar programs in other educational and regional districts of the country, given the national nature of the tested problem. Six appendices are included: (1) Training Course Program; (2) Calculation and Analysis of Pearson's Correlation Coefficient; (3) Evaluation Test for In-service English Teachers; (4) Chronogram of Activities; (5) Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation; and (6) Population by Districts, Schools and Gender.
