Abstract: The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of an educational program based on the design thinking methodology on English language learning in primary school students at a public educational institution. Using a quantitative approach and experimental design, an official sample test from the Cambridge A1 Movers exam was administered as a pretest and post-test to an experimental group. The study population consisted of regular elementary school students, and the sample consisted of 68 fourth-grade students. Finally, the results after the application of the educational program showed that there is a statistically significant difference in English language learning, improving oral comprehension and production skills, demonstrating a positive impact and suggesting that the design thinking methodology Favor's more dynamic and effective language learning.
