"This research project was conducted to learn about the use of WhatsApp to promote and enhance productive skills in sixth-grade students at primary school. The collected data was taken from 17 students in sixth grade from Unidad y Trabajo Primary School in Nativitas, Tlaxcala. Participants involved in this research were around eleven to twelve years old. A descriptive quantitative method was used to answer the research question. As a result, there was a positive effect in using WhatsApp groups to promote and enhance the productive skills in sixth-grade primary students. The results indicated that students could improve their productive skills through the WhatsApp group. Furthermore, those results showed that students felt confident in speaking and writing in English through WhatsApp since this application gave them better opportunities to practice in class and beyond the classroom. Besides, students preferred the WhatsApp group activities rather than the classroom activities. Therefore, it suggests that teachers should use WhatsApp groups as an educational tool to teach speaking and writing skills in a fun and meaningful way to change the traditional teaching and learning process. Other methods, contexts, and receptive skills may be considered for further research".
