Particularly, we address contents related to the teaching profession, the linguistic and education policies, and the foreign language teachers’ professional profile and skills. All this information is the conceptual basis for the study performed in the second part of this paper, consisting of an analysis of the professional skills of foreign language teachers, who perform their teaching practice in Secondary Education in a specific school centre. Such study is appropriately characterised and, by being inscribed in the qualitative paradigm, presents the results in a descriptive and interpretive way. Lastly, those hypotheses that are confirmed or rejected are presented in the conclusions, where the initial research questions are also answered.
