Premises for teaching of oral expression in Chile

Abstract

The present study contains some teaching basic premises for the oral expression in Chile. Previously, we analyse the approach that this aspect receives from the Ministry of Education, specifically, through the Language and Literature Subject Study Plans and Programs. It is found that the latter do not reproduce the holistic and integrative conception of teaching declared in the Curricular Bases. Finally, an initial set of criteria is provided to evaluate the Chilean formal oral speech, which combines the general foundations presented with the studies currently available on this variety.
