The article is concerned with the professional development of teachers of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL). The study aimes at: (a) articulating a context for discussion on issues related to teaching SFL, and (b) identifying the main difficulties related to linguistic content and methodological aspects that students who are teachers have in regard to their professional development as SFL teachers. Participants were undergraduate student-teachers of Modern Languages who participate in the project Centro de Línguas e Desenvolvimento de Professores (CLDP).
