Sumario:The concept of Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas in Spain is not new; they have existed in the country for over a hundred years, offering a thorough list of languages as supplementary education to people from the age of fourteen. However, it is worth noting that the majority of learners in language schools are adults, and although they make up the vast majority, the focus on adult learners in L2 is generally low. This is because there is not much research on adult language learning, perhaps because the field of children and young people is more visible and there is also a greater focus on this age group by teachers. Therefore, the main aim of this Master's thesis is to create a teaching programme and a teaching unit focused on the successful teaching of English to adults, using communicative and collaborative methodologies to put the student at the centre. In this way, the aim is to achieve greater visibility and justification for adult education, to give it the same importance as infant, primary and secondary education.
