AB This thesis analyses the ELT panorama in order to optimise how this language is instructed in Spanish Translation faculties. In doing so, a general overview of different methodologies is presented, followed by an analysis of those applied and the input given at the forenamed institutions. Considering this, the dominance of the Communicative approach and a strong tendency to concentrate on enhancing communicative skills can be appreciated. However, since Translation studies use languages not only to communicate, but also to transfer meaning, linguistic comparison might be beneficial in ELT. This methodology would raise students’ awareness on the differences of their pairs of languages, improving both their communicative and translation competences. Hence, a pedagogical analysis on contrastive linguistics and on its potential implementation areas is provided, followed by a sample presenting its application in grammar teaching. It is concluded that students would perceive languages individually and chances of negative transfer would be reduced, leading to translations of a superior quality.
