Aitor Garcés-Manzanera

• The development of skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is a necessary requirement for communication, but equally for L2 enhancement. Thus, the aim of this paper is to propose a system of activities for the Degrees in Education. This system integrates two skills, that is, reading and speaking, in addition to enhancing the development of critical thinking skills. All these aspects will be intimately linked to the importance of the education-related context for future school teachers.
