Learning didactics while developing Oral Communicative Competence in a foreign language

Abstract

Spain, has to revise and adapt language teaching to the framework of higher education in Europe. Our society needs good foreign language and CLIL teachers, ready to prepare individuals for the XXI century. We show ways of making future teachers learn didactics in a practical way while developing their oral skills and make them reflect about the teaching practice. This paper is also an attempt to show how FL learning gets better results when emotional intelligence is taking into account. The research carried out tries to show that under a humanistic approach and starting from students’ needs, it is possible to create an appropriate learning atmosphere. We suggest that oral communicative competence can be easier and better developed when M.E.S.T.A is promoted.
