Abstract

In this paper, we present the need to develop the strategic component in the teaching of oral communication in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELSE) courses, focusing on attenuation, a procedure aimed at listener acceptance, with focus on politeness and pragmatic efficiency. This strategy not only modulates the message, but also facilitates more effective and harmonious communication, especially in multicultural and foreign language learning contexts. We propose activities that promote awareness of the importance of attenuation strategies in the daily practice of conversation for A1 and A2 Spanish level classes.
