This investigation had the purpose of understanding how the use of a website created by the teacher-researcher contributed to an improvement in the educational experience in English language teaching with Mexican high schoolers. The inquiry undertook a qualitative methodology following an action research design tied to the critical educational science paradigm. Results revealed that the online site encouraged a positive educational experience by attending to the learners’ interests and needs, offering support, an easy navigational interface, and a good experience in the study of English. Furthermore, the internet site was perceived as highly supportive as the subject’s contents were organized by levels and topics, where videos were available to explain each linguistic item clearly. In conclusion, it can be said that the intervention benefited the teenagers’ formation since the website favored their learning of the foreign language with the support that it provided, the simple navigation, the pedagogical approach, and the personal touch employed by the teacher.
