AB English  as  a  foreign  language  (EFL)  teaching  is  an  increasingly  serious  challenge  for  language  teachers  in  disadvantaged  socio-educational  backgrounds.  Thus,  we  propose  the  SWIRL  planning  guide  (Speak-Write-Interact-Read-Listen) for the Pre-A1 and A1 levels of language command as a helpful resource. We developed this proposal with a qualitative appraisal supported by a quantitative value to illustrate the ideal dedication to each communication skill. Validation was carried out through five prospective longitudinal case studies conducted through a descriptive observational methodology in schools with students in a situation of socio-educational vulnerability. The findings obtained in communication skills’ dedication led us to draw conclusions and implications regarding policies, and the need to focus lesson planning on the development of oral comprehension in this type of educational settings.
