Summary/Abstract: This article initiates from the hypothesis that Romanian students are reluctant to interact orally in the Spanish as a foreign language (SFL) lesson. As a consequence, there is a requirement to further promote the motivation and the active participation in order to develop the students' oral competences. Thus, the study identifies some of the causes of this reluctance, such as boredom, demotivation, lack of confidence, fear of being wrong, etc. and, above all, evaluates the usage of didactic game as a necessary tool to acquire the subject's knowledge. The research methodology is qualitative, the study is effectuated in a bilingual school in Romania and leans on the continuous observation of different groups of students, of both primary and secondary studies. Different engagement games to improve the oral expression are put into practice and solutions to the encountered challenges are given.
