Abstract

The purpose of this article is to determine the research advances in the study of the didactics of oral language from a communicative perspective. The methodology used corresponds to the phases of documentary research. The first, called initial, determines the problem (didactics of orality from the communicative approach) and eight scientific thesis and article type studies are required. The second phase is the analytical one, five categories of analysis were established, highlighting the Latin American studies of oral language didactics, communicative approach and the time interval from 2011 to date. The third phase is the final one, the main findings are presented. In relation to the first category, the common theoretical elements of the investigations correspond to oratory, verbal and non-verbal language, and argumentation. Also, they suggest the round table techniques, debate and expositions for the development of orality. Likewise, they state that the teachers' difficulty lies in the planning, execution and evaluation of the oral activity. In the second category, Communicative Focus, there are no studies in Nicaragua, those detected correspond to foreign didactic proposals that were not applied. These place emphasis on teacher training on oral didactics, due to the centralization of writing and reading.
