The interest in teaching direct speech in the Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL) classroom has gained greater importance since the implementation of the Instituto Cervantes' Curricular Plan (PCIC, 2006), allowing for a deeper exploration of its role in communication and language teaching. However, SFL learners do not achieve full mastery of this quotative mechanism, largely due to the imprecise and insufficient presentation of related content and activities in textbooks. This paper proposes a didactic approach to teaching and learning direct speech and its introductory frames in the SFL classroom, specifically at the B2 level of the PCIC. As the main resource, the comic Mortadelo y Filemón is used with the dual purpose of highlighting its pedagogical value in Spanish language teaching and providing guidelines for designing activities based on comics that address different linguistic aspects, thus promoting their integration into the ELE classroom.
