Abstract

This contribution presents the epistemological underpinnings of the methodology that has been used in the University of Córdoba (Spain) for teaching English as a foreign language to seniors (over 50) for the last four years. The method is based on the scientific evidence provided by the most recent insight achieved within psycholinguistics and the cognitive theory of learning. The results of this experience reveal that this method specially favors EFL processes by reducing the social distance of seniors towards L2 by means of a direct access to the explicit and declarative knowledge of the target language.
