In order to analyze the use of English for Specific Purposes in the teaching-learning process to refugees, a descriptive-longitudinal-prospective and quantitative-qualitative investigation was carried out at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, in Esmeraldas, with the methods of analysis and synthesis, hermeneutic and statistical, with the techniques of observation and survey, which were applied to 11 refugee-students who attended English lessons, as part of the bounding project Strengthening of sustainable means of life and local integration in Esmeraldas, and to 6 student-teachers from the Applied Linguistics School. The results showed that the refugees had specific learning needs, they did not know English, and the teachers had lack of didactic materials to carry out the teaching-learning process. Some of these aspects coincided with the ones found by other authors, but basically in other countries, where there is sociocultural immersion in the English language. Consequently, some exercises based on the most frequent language learning needs were designed and presented.
