Nowadays, EFL students have to face important difficulties when learning a
language, it is an important challenge for them to use the language in spoken
communicative contexts.
The main problem is that English in the Spanish context of education is taught as a
subject instead as a means for communication. At the end of upper secondary
education, students have acquired great knowledge about grammatical rules and
structures, they can complete reproductive exercises without any problem. However,
most students are not able to use the language for oral communication and in a
creative way.
The present paper aims at the improvement of the teaching approaches and
methodologies currently used for the teaching of grammar in upper secondary
education. The activities presented follow a functional grammar approach in which
grammatical structures are learned in a context and have a communicative function.
In addition, different language aspects and skills are developed in the activities,
being the emphasis placed on grammar and spoken communication.
The essay is divided in four parts. The first one introduces the objective of the project
and gives an insight into the current educational context in Spain, focusing on the
factors that usually affect EFL learning. The second part, provides the theoretical
background for the project. In this section, approaches for teaching grammar and
spoken communicative competence are presented. Taskbased
learning approach is
explained as it is the basis for the activities designed. The third part consists of a
teaching proposal where the activities are explained regarding their development,
contents, objectives, competences, methodology and assessment. Finally, the
conclusion of the project is presented [-]
