La enseñanza de "colocaciones" en español como L2una propuesta didáctica

Zusammenfassung

Lexical collocations are groups of two or more words that come up together up a regular basis. In non-native language teaching in general, and in the teaching of Spaaish as an L2, in particular, it seems necessary to pay attention to this linguistic feature from a pedagogical point of view. Failure in the productioa of appropriate lexical collocations does not usually lead L2 learners in a communicatioa breakdowa, but students lend to produce unnecessary circumlocutions when trying to convey their messages. This study provides an overall perspective to the analysis of lexical collocations, takes up previous research on the topic and makes use of mental maps as a convenient teaching technique. Sorne teaching matenials were designed and used with a group of students of Spanish as an L2. In this paper we report the effects of this empirical intervention and draw sorne pedagogical implications for the teaching of lexical collacations in Spanish as an L2.
