Our philosophical background for this paper will be the conception of  language as an integral part of social life (Hymes, 1971). As a result of this thought, language teaching (whether the teaching of the mother tongue, a second language or a foreign language) should be intimately related with affective factors and should be carried out in terms of language functions for social interaction.

Our objective here is basically to illustrate how this conception

of teaching can be put into practice both in courses of EFL and

in ESP courses.
