This project aimed at implementating the use of flashcards in digital format for teaching and learning a second language, and by means of this article, this experience is reconstructed and described. During the first instance, the level of proficiency of third grade students in the English language was identified. Subsequently, we designed strategies that involved flashcards in the development of each of the themes, in order to strengthen vocabulary. The research paradigm was quantitative descriptive and as a result the design of a pedagogical strategy based on the use of digital flashcards was obtained. Similarly, the PROPROFS tool was used, allowing active learning in students, promoting the development of attention, memory, and greater concentration, and encouraging retention and perception skills by means of the active participation in the classroom. As a conclusion, we may say that the strategy that was used through the use of digital flashcards allows teachers to experience foreign language teaching in an enjoyable way, since in the rural context, learning a second language becomes an arduous task. Likewise, flashcards can be used in the company of teachers, parents, and the students themselves, and help significantly in learning a second language as they strengthen the vocabulary of students.
