When the COVID-19 epidemic broke out, hybrid learning was the most widely used educational approach in the world. It also began to emerge at the same time as other forms of education. The educational system is constantly creating new techniques and advancements in an attempt to deliver effective instruction and raise student standards. Hybrid education is a crucial strategy to guarantee the continuance of academic activities and the learning of the English language. In order to provide effective instruction and boost student achievement even further, Ecuador's educational system also implements innovative methods. But the expectations students face are challenging due to the difficulty they have in communicating in English. Consequently, it becomes a barrier to face the new task and educational demands. The use of diverse media and technology resources is necessary for the development of communicative skills. Thus, the main goal of the study is to examine how the use of Google Meets enhances speaking skills. The use of Google Meet and other tools, which are part of its platform (e.g., forums, announcements, and text publications), will be given priority to develop and improve reading, writing, and oral expression. A survey will be applied in 30 students of a high school who will be part of a sample for a qualitative research study. Inductive and deductive research methods will be considered to provide explanations and descriptions. In Addition, a questionnaire with ten questions will be provided to 4 teachers to know the relevance and importance of using Google Meets in the development of communication abilities.
