The Teaching of the Romancero in the Spanish Baccalaureate: From Educational Legislation to Textbooks
Abstract
Based on a preliminary review of educational legislation, the objective of this paper is to analyze the treatment that the romancero receives in the Spanish Language and Literature textbooks for the first year of Baccalaureate. The corpus consists of eight of the most popular textbooks under the LOMLOE framework, all of them published between 2022 and 2023 by Akal, Casals, Editex, McGraw-Hill, Oxford, Santillana, SGEL and SM. Specifically, it aims to study how these textbooks structure the content about the romancero and identify the similarities and differences regarding the definition of the genre, the distinction between old and new romances, the intersections between orality and writing, the origin, the thematic classification, the style and the selection of texts for reading and commentary. All of this will provide a representative portrait of the importance of the romancero in Spanish Baccalaureate programs and the knowledge that students can acquire, while also serving to evaluate the quality of Spanish Language and Literature textbooks in relation to this aspect.
