• Resumen

  • The objectives of this research are aimed at analysing the key factors for the elaboration, creation and design of exercises made for training American higher education students in the area of silent language. The target group consists of a total of 62 students who participated for eight academic years in an intercultural Service- Learning program at the University of Granada.

    The analysis has been carried out using the Nvivo program, a software program used for qualitative and mixed methods research.

    It was possible to verify that the group was not homogeneous, since there were cases in which the students´ origin was characterised by the culture of their parents who came from Spanish speaking countries and others with parents coming from the USA.

    The conclusions corroborated that silent language is an essential area in the teaching practice of Spanish for Specific Purposes.
