Moreover, Spanish, like all languages, evinces sociolinguistic variation, in that levels of formality are expressed through the use of different structures. Given this variety, students of Spanish will inevitably come into contact with variation Spanish. This variation in Spanish adds layers of complexity to the learning and instruction of the Spanish language; therefore, a linguistic understanding of variation is crucial for our students to achieve communicative competence. This unique work, which provides an overview of the most important linguistic aspects of Spanish within a context that recognizes variation, assumes no prior linguistic knowledge and is appropriate as a valuable resource manual for teachers and learners of Spanish alike.New perspectives on language and education ;14.Spanish languageStudy and teachingForeign speakersSpanish languageVariationSecond language acquisitionSpanish as an international language.Spanish instructors.communicative competence.dialectal differences.language and education.learners of Spanish.sociolinguistic variation.Spanish languageStudy and teachingForeign speakers.Spanish languageVariation.Second language acquisition.467/.009IM 1495rvkArteaga Deborah1664112Llorente Lucía I(Lucía Isabel)1664113MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824262603321Spanish as an international language4021984UNINA
