Synopsis

This publication, coordinated by Ingrid Viñas Quiroga, is part of the CIFFyH Collections and is part of an ongoing reflection by teachers, researchers, graduates, and students on language, interculturality, and the acquisition and teaching of a foreign language.

The e-book brings together a series of lines of work, notes, inquiries, and concerns about Spanish as a foreign language, specifically the local variety of Spanish. It also deals with the teaching of grammar in textbooks that are widely used today and compares their treatment with that of materials intended for teaching Spanish as a native or first language.

On the one hand, the book focuses on the impact of proficiency level on students' use of oral communication strategies during the CELU (Certificate of Spanish Language and Use) exam. and, on the other hand, addresses the relationship between oral communication strategies and courtesy tactics among young university students participating in a Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) immersion program at the National University of Córdoba (UNC).

Likewise, “Dimensión ELSE” addresses the processes of teaching Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) mediated by information and communication technologies and also presents rich and innovative proposals for teaching ELE with different approaches and methodologies, some aimed at refugees and migrants, others at students in university exchange programs.

Although the direct target audience for this work is ELE teachers and students, this e-book may also be of interest to teachers of other foreign languages and Spanish as a mother tongue due to its combination of theoretical reflections and didactic transposition.

“Dimensión ELSE. Notas teóricas y contribuciones didácticas en español como lengua segunda y extranjera” (ELSE Dimension: Theoretical Notes and Didactic Contributions in Spanish as a Second and Foreign Language) presents a wide variety of texts and activities for all levels and ages, both in immersion and non-formal education contexts, which encourage metalinguistic reflection and questioning about one's own culture and that of others.

The e-book is part of the CIFFyH Collections, an initiative of the María Saleme de Burnichon Research Center (FFyH) in conjunction with the FFyH Publications Department, which seeks to strengthen the production and dissemination of the work of the Center's research groups, encourage the participation of students, graduates, and teachers in the production and circulation of knowledge, and create institutional spaces that enable such circulation.
