Phraseology Applied to the Acquisition of Spanish as a Foreign Language

Abstract

This work belongs to the research field of Phraseodidactics applied to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language (ELE). The objectives of our research are: to present a typology proposal for the different phraseological units, to point out what the selection criteria should be to showcase these lexical units in the classroom, to provide basic guidelines for their teaching, and to present a typology of activities based on the strategies of learning that students must develop, together with the temporal phases through which these structures are learned. As conclusions of the research, it is shown that it is necessary to work on three preferential lines: the data dump of the phraseological units found in the Curricular Plan of the Cervantes Institute, the elaboration of their didactic classification, and the creation of didactic units. Likewise, the creation of specific didactic units for learning about this type of lexical units is considered to be an ensuing task.
