Resumen
[ES] Este trabajo documenta las posibles soluciones que pueden ser aplicadas para solucionar el verdadero
problema que existe en nuestro país con respecto a la enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas: el pobre
nivel que los alumnos españoles presentan en comparación con el resto de europeos. Por lo tanto, este
trabajo comienza analizando este problema con los datos recogidos por algunos medios españoles. Se
sugiere una posible solución, el llamado enfoque comunicativo, definiéndolo y caracterizándolo. A
continuación, se centra en unas de las principales preocupaciones de los investigadores más reticentes
con este enfoque: el lugar de la gramática y el vocabulario en las clases comunicativas. La integración de
las cuatro destrezas es también defendida, caracterizando sin embargo cada una de ellas por separado
para llegar a entenderlas mejor. Finalmente, una serie de conclusiones, basadas en las lecciones que
investigaciones anteriores nos han permitido aprender, son expuestas sobre la relevancia que la
comunicación ha adquirido.
[EN] This dissertation documents the possible solutions that can be applied in order to solve the actual problem that exists in our country regarding the teaching and learning of foreign languages: the very low level that Spanish learners have in comparison to the rest of Europea ns. Therefore, this work begins by analysing this problem with the data gathered by sorne Spanish media. A possible solution is then suggested, namely Communicative Language Teaching (CL T), defining and characterizing it. lt subsequently focuses on one of the principal concerns that researchers who are reticent with CL T have: the place of grammar and vocabulary in commv,11icative classrooms. The integration of the four skills is hereto defended by characterizing each one in isolation in order to come to understand them better. A series of significant conclusions, based on the lessons that prior research has allowed us to learn, are finally exposed on the relevance that communication has actually acquired.
