Today's society is increasingly giving a privileged place to English language learning due to its importance in the academic, cultural and economic spheres. Although linguistic competence and satisfactory development of receptive skills are evident, there is concern about the insufficient development of oral production. Thus, this study identifies and explains the factors that intervene in the development of oral communicative competence, facilitating or hindering its development in a group of young adult students in a case study. This work is framed in the quantitative paradigm and is a projective research. The findings allowed us to identify shortcomings at the methodological level and in the design of oral evaluations. Likewise, the importance of distinguishing oral production as a process in which different factors interact that go beyond the visible performance of students in the development of oral production in the courses of the School of Languages was evidenced, thus allowing to promote the development of oral communicative competence in English.
