Abstract

The present article shows a didactic application based on the use of authentic materials and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in a university class. The designed proposal was applied throughout a period of fifteen weeks in an English as a foreign language subject, equivalent to a B1.2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This lesson plan was applied in a group class of forty students belonging to two different bachelor’s degrees: Psychology, and Sports Science and Physical Activity.
