Analysis of the Treatment of the Spanish Forms Canto and Cante in a Corpus of SFL Textbooks: Terminology, Values, Examples, Activities and Images
Abstract
This research aims to analyse the treatment of the Spanish present indicative and the present subjunctive (forms canto and cante) in a corpus of twenty-five textbooks of Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL), ranging from level B1-B2 to level C1-C2. Specifically, we will address the terminology used by the different textbooks to label these forms, the values attributed to them through the first examples, in terms of prototypicality and non-prototypicality, as well as the activities and images used to describe and explain them. The ultimate aim of the article is to contribute to the analysis of SFL textbooks from a theoretical point of view and to claim the importance of including the theoretical component in the classroom in order to obtain better results in the teaching-learning process.
