Abstract
Research concerning oral language teaching is one of the most unattended fields in linguistic education, both in general terms as well as specifically in Secondary education. This paper tries to take one step towards improving this state of affairs. For this purpose, we create a model for the development of oral discursive competence and we test it in a secondary education course. The pattern of results indicates improvement in the students¿ oral discursive competence during the development of such a model. This procedure leads to a systematic relation between theory and practice that places us in the scientific scope of the Language Didactics field, a field to which we would like to contribute in an educational and scientific way.
