Sumario: The main objective of this research is to describe the benefits of using the Waldorf methodology to enhance oral communication of EFL learners with autism. This is mixed (quantitive and qualitative) research about the Waldorf methodology to enhance the speaking skill of EFL learners with autism. First, an interview will be conducted to obtain information about each student who was characterized with autism or those who were clinically diagnosed and to learn about the teaching methodology of the English teacher. In addition, a pre-test will be conducted to diagnose the level of vocabulary related to the parts of the house and then a post-test will be conducted to determine the level of vocabulary related to the parts of the house of English learners with autism after being exposed to the Waldorf methodology. Furthermore, it would be of vital importance to carry out this research because it would provide information that would help educational centers to implement new methodological strategies that would facilitate the teaching and learning process with children characterized and clinically diagnosed with autism at the Mexico experimental institute. In addition to that, the Waldorf methodology is a good method to improve the teaching of the English language in educational centers in Nicaragua, where learners with autism will have a better education that will help them develop speaking skills in the classroom.
