Those involved in the teaching of foreign languages in general, and in the teaching of English in particular, are aware of the challenges they face when it comes to doing their job. This article analyzes some of the main reasons why the process of teaching a foreign language should be revised. Concentrating specifically on Spain, possible solutions and strategies will be presented to combat previously discovered deficiencies. In this sense, it is considered that the analyzed proposals can be a reference for the successful study of the situation in relation to the provision of positive strategies and solutions. It is important to highlight that this analysis has been carried out after detecting a series of problems. The results are aimed at becoming one of the main engines that triggers an in-depth debate.
