Abstract	The learning process of English as a Foreign Language is a tricky challenge to face when it comes to deal with Spanish native speakers. Most of the time, people compare the structures and uses of both languages (the native and the target one), which causes an interference in the learning process and may result on failure or poorly achieved results. This research proposal has emerged due to the necessity to study and pay careful attention to the phenomenon described above, since it represents a problem for teachers when it comes to evaluate outcomes and their performance as educators as well. In Dominican Republic, there is program, which is the perfect scenario for a research of this kind since it is the most popular, and effective course in the whole country, not mentioning that it is sponsored by the government. The study has been focused on the English Immersion Program by MESCYT [Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology] at Universidad Evangélica Nacional in Santiago de los Cabelleros, Dominican Republic. The population to be subject of this research is the classroom 305-morning and afternoon shifts. Literary Review has been sought in order to point out the relevance of the topic from different perspectives and nations. Special attention to specific learning skills such as reading and writing has been paid. The methodology, questionnaire, tools, references and results based on hypothesis have been incorporated.
