This research has as its objective the elaboration of a didactic proposition of hybrid teaching for students having an initial contact with the study of English as a foreign language. Based on the difficulty of the public school system in Brazil to adapt to the needs of twenty-first century society and classify itself, according to the parameters of Lengel (2012) into education 3.0, our interest arises in proposing a didactic experience utilizing the new technologies. From the need for the development of orality in the teaching of English, activities are proposed using  WhatsApp, the content being an initial greeting in a conversation. Despite the indication as an addition to on-site classes, these activities are part of the curricular component of the sixth grade of Ensino Fundamental II (middle school), as indicated by the didactic material used in this research.
