La comprensión lectora en la enseñanza del español LE/L2: de la teoría a la práctica presents state-of-the-art theory and teaching practices for integrating reading skills into the teaching of Spanish. The book bridges a conspicuous gap between research supporting reading as a key component of language acquisition and actual practice by discussing how to implement reading successfully in and out of the classroom. Written entirely in Spanish, the book focuses on the needs of Spanish language learners with the goal of motivating students to read in the target language and work with diverse types of texts and genres. Written in a clear and accessible manner, La comprensión lectora en la enseñanza del español LE/L2: de la teoría a la práctica is an essential resource for teachers of Spanish at all levels. It is an excellent reference book for language teachers who wish to integrate reading into the teaching of the Spanish language.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Hispanic applied linguistics, allowing students to understand the field from a variety of perspectives and offering insight into the ever-growing number of professional opportunies afforded to Spanish language program graduates. The goal of this book is to re-contextualize the notion of applied linguistics as simply the application of theoretical linguistic concepts to practical settings and to consider it as its own field that addresses language-based issues and problems in a real-world context. The book is organized into five parts: 1) perspectives on learning Spanish 2) issues and environments in Spanish teaching 3) Spanish in the professions 4) the discourses of Spanish and 5) social and political contexts for Spanish. The book’s all-inclusive coverage gives students the theoretical and sociocultural context for study in Hispanic applied linguistics while offering practical information on its application in the professional sector.

Este libro está dirigido a todos los interesados en la enseñanza de lenguas y en la formación de docentes de lenguas, en particular, del español como lengua extranjera (ELE). Su objetivo es establecer y valorar las relaciones entre teoría y práctica por su aporte a la coherencia en el trabajo académico. Además de proponer novedosas perspectivas en aspectos como la metodología, la didáctica, y el diseño de materiales y la evaluación, los trabajos aquí reunidos problematizan los lugares comunes, a partir de nuevas formas de considerar la gramática, la interculturalidad o el diseño curricular. De esta manera, convergen varias posturas teóricas que configuran expresiones paradigmáticas en las que la construcción de una visión más amplia y heterogénea de la disciplina les permitirá a los profesores, en ejercicio o en formación, adaptarse e innovar en un campo cada vez mas competitivo.
