Thus, the main goal of this paper is to build up a system of communicative activities to expand vocabulary in English language in students from group 9th 4 at “Antonio Guiteras Holmes” Secondary School. To achieve the objective of this study, it was necessary to use several methods of research. Some empirical methods such as participant observation, pedagogical test, interview to students, analysis of students´ outcomes, teacher`s diary, discussion group and triangulation were used to gather the necessary data about the current situation of the subject of research, as well as for the constructing process of the proposal. The proposal is the result of a building up process in which the suggestions given by the discussion group and the experiences recorded in the teacher´s diary were taken into account to obtain the final scientific result. It is a system of communicative activities aimed at attaining the goals of five communicative functions regarding the expansion of vocabulary.
