Sumario:Abstract: In the recent years, memory has been frequently disregarded as a tool to learn as it is considered a vehicle that makes students acquire temporary information and deprived of all meaning. However, memory could be the tool that leads to effective, meaningful and consequently permanent learning. Nowadays, research on the brain and its areas in connection with learning has led to consider the benefits of taking these areas into account in the ESL field. The various processes memory provides learners with during each learning episode should be taken into account in order to provide students with a selection of activities according to the way in which these processes occur. The aim of this paper is to analyse how teachers use memory, memory-friendly approaches and activities in the classroom to foster the real role of memory: effective learning.
