The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Language Teaching cover

The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Language Teaching: metodologías, contextos y recursos para la enseñanza del español L2 provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the main methodologies, contexts and resources in Spanish Language Teaching (SLT), a field that has experienced significant growth world-wide in recent decades and has consolidated as an autonomous discipline within Applied Linguistics.

Written entirely in Spanish, the volume is the first handbook on Spanish Language Teaching to connect theories on language teaching with methodological and practical aspects from an international perspective. It brings together the most recent research and offers a broad, multifaceted view of the discipline.

Features include:



  • Forty-four chapters offering an interdisciplinary overview of SLT written by over sixty renowned experts from around the world;




  • Five broad sections that combine theoretical and practical components: Methodology; Language Skills; Formal and Grammatical Aspects; Sociocultural Aspects; and Tools and Resources;




  • In-depth reflections on the practical aspects of Hispanic Linguistics and Spanish Language Teaching to further engage with new theoretical ideas and to understand how to tackle classroom-related matters;




  • A consistent inner structure for each chapter with theoretical aspects, methodological guidelines, practical considerations, and valuable references for further reading;




  • An array of teaching techniques, reflection questions, language samples, design of activities, and methodological guidelines throughout the volume.


The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Language Teaching contributes to enriching the field by being an essential reference work and study material for specialists, researchers, language practitioners, and current and future educators. The book will be equally useful for people interested in curriculum design and graduate students willing to acquire a complete and up-to-date view of the field with immediate applicability to the teaching of the language.

"The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Language Teaching: metodología, contextos y recursos para la enseñanza del Español L2 es el claro ejemplo de que los procesos de heterogeneidad y homogeneidad asociados a la globalización han irrumpido de lleno en el campo de la lingüística aplicada a la enseñanza de la lengua española. Por un lado, se trata de un trabajo en el que destacados especialistas ubicados en diversos contextos geográficos y de enseñanza exponen los últimos avances en los temas de mayor actualidad en la disciplina. Por otro lado, la homogeneidad se pone de manifiesto en la estructura de los capítulos (introducción y palabras clave bilingües, estado de la cuestión, consideraciones metodológicas, pautas, bibliografía citada y bibliografía recomendada). La calidad y el rigor teóricos se anticipan desde la introducción (por ejemplo, en el interés por precisar las principales nomenclaturas de la investigación y la enseñanza del español). El prurito por la aplicación práctica se plasma en cada capítulo, en la sección de pautas, donde en ocasiones se incluyen además muestras de lengua para ilustrar aspectos pedagógicos concretos. La conjunción de estos y otros muchos aciertos dan como resultado un todo armónico que nos pone a vibrar en una misma sintonía de empoderamiento y confianza en nuestra profesión y en el futuro de nuestra lengua."

"This volume covers an extensive range of critical and current topics in teaching Spanish from both veteran and newer voices. Pressing issues of concern to both researchers and practitioners are represented, as well as useful reflections on how to bridge the two. The five principal sections of the book—cutting-edge methodologies, the development of language skills, features of various linguistic structures, a range of sociocultural topics, and a collection of high quality resources—offer readers a state of th
