Youth colloquial language in Spain: a didactic proposal for the ELE classroom
DOMÍNGUEZ CÁCERES, Diego
Despite the interest that many Spanish students have in it, youth colloquial language is often left out of educational programs of Spanish as a foreign language. The present work consists of a brief study of the colloquial youth language of Spain and its possible application in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. The first part, of a theoretical nature, aims to provide a series of definitions that delimit the phenomenon and verify how this type of content is regarded in official curricula. Below is a note about its origins and relationship with the counterculture, and a series of morphological and lexical-semantic features that are useful to characterize the youth colloquial variety. The second part, more practical, includes a didactic unit that has been designed for young adult students of level B2 or higher and who are or intend to be in a situation of linguistic immersion in Spain and the description of the unit and its activities.

Phrasal verbs in Spanish
MORENO DIEZ, Pilar
The present work focuses on the analysis of the Spanish particle-verbs (Verbos Sintagmáticos) oriented towards the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. The most problematic aspects about this category have been observed in terms of their use and behaviour in the semantic, syntactic and phonological levels of the language. For this, we have based on the studies on Italian VS and English phrasal verbs (more developed theoretically). The purpose of this study has been to offer a clear basis that will serve for future research ?both theoretical and practice?, to elaborate a proposal of definition based on real data extracted from different corpus of Spanish, and to suggest a basic sample of didactic material that facilitates the introduction in the classrooms of Spanish as a second language content related to this type of verbs.

Interjections in Spanish
OVEJAS MARTIN, Vanesa
This thesis is focus on Spanish interjections, especially the group of proper?s ones. According to the information exposed, we have created one didactic unit for teaching this type of units to foreign Spanish students. In order to carry out the study, firstly, we have stablished their phonetic and phonological, morphological, syntactical and semantic-pragmatic properties. Moreover, we have developed a corpus with the proper interjections from Spanish language, taking from the literature and our own introspection. We have selected the most productive of them from the Spanish corpus: CREA and CORPES XXI. This units have been described according to theirs pragmatic functions and, secondly, to theirs phonetic features and their discursive position. This information is based in the analysis of examples from CORPES XXI. Finally, we have proposed activities for their learning as foreign language. All of them are for the levels B2-C1, according to MCER. They are organised in three sessions. This didactic unit develop all the skills, but mainly the oral ones: listening and oral production.
