Aim. This article presents the results obtained in a qualitative research related to classroom practices and perceptions of teachers of English as a foreign language in Spain. The aim of this study is to present examples of good teaching practices, including the types of resources, materials and assessment used in spoken English teaching. Methods. A qualitative investigation that used ethnographic (non-participant)  observation in primary and secondary English classes was implemented in thirty-two schools. Additionally, twenty semi-structured interviews with primary and secondary teachers were conducted.Results and conclusion. The results show significant differences between both applied methods Non-participant observation indicates that spoken communication in English is not practised sufficiently. However, based on interview results, teachers do apply appropriate language learning strategies that could allow them to successfully teach speaking skills in their students.The results imply that in Spain, there are still many teachers and educational institutions that follow the Grammar Translation Method and other traditional methodologies, which still focus primarily on writing skills. However, several examples of good practices and inspiring methodological and motivational strategies have been found throughout this research, which might be considered as a precedent for those that focus on writing approaches.Cognitive value. This article displays an original research supported by University of Oviedo, through which, the reader can approach to the teaching of spoken English in Spain by means of  some teachers´ perceptions and examples of good practices.

在西班牙教授英语口语：课堂实践和教师的看法

目标。本文介绍了一项定性研究中获得的结果，该研究与西班牙的英语作为外语教师的课堂实践和看法有关。本研究的目的是展示良好教学实践的例子，包括英语口语教学中使用的资源、材料和评估的类型。方法。在 32 所学校实施了一项在小学和中学英语课程中使用人种学（非参与者）观察的定性调查。此外，还对中小学教师进行了20次半结构化访谈。结果和结论。结果表明两种应用方法之间存在显着差异非参与者观察表明英语口语交流没有得到充分练习。但是，根据采访结果，教师确实采用适当的语言学习策略，可以让他们成功地教授学生口语技能。结果表明，在西班牙，仍有许多教师和教育机构遵循语法翻译方法和其他传统方法，这些方法仍然主要关注关于写作技巧。然而，在整个研究过程中发现了几个良好实践和鼓舞人心的方法论和激励策略的例子，这可能被认为是那些专注于写作方法的先例。认知价值。本文展示了奥维耶多大学支持的一项原创研究，读者可以通过该研究通过一些教师的看法和良好实践的例子来了解西班牙的口语教学。
