Methodology: A descriptive study (Literature review). This was divided into four methodological phases: 1) Seeking on available data base online of bibliography material about strategies and teaching methods of English on children with Asperger´s syndrome; 2) Inclusion of material published in the last ten years; 3) Exclusion of studies with Autist spectrum different from Asperger´s. 4) The acquisition and description of the information. Finally, the methods and strategies were classified by chapter and subchapters to be described in this study. Conclusion: Children with Asperger´s syndrome don´t have any disturbance or cognitive alteration which may place them in a learning slowdown stage, however, they might have some difficulties if the psychosocial environment is not taken into account. Thus, the current strategies used to teach English as a foreign language are essential to make learning adjustment and its comprehension in children with this development disorder, so that they can acquire a better English learning References: 1.
