Keywords:

This study researches the effectiveness of attentional networks and mindfulness techniques in teaching English in Panamá Oeste, addressing the challenges faced by students in a heterogeneous educational context. The main purpose is to improve students’ attention and active participation through the implementation of innovative teaching strategies. A non-experimental design was used with five groups of approximately 150 students at basic to intermediate levels, applying mindfulness activities at the beginning of each class. The results showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.991) between the practice of mindfulness and linguistic performance, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Although the differences in the means of the pretest and posttest did not reach statistical significance, a trend towards improvement in linguistic skills was evident. Additionally, a high percentage of students reported feeling more motivated and confident when participating in group activities. The conclusions highlight the importance of integrating attentional networks and mindfulness in English teaching, suggesting that these methodologies can enhance learning and the overall development of students.
