Enseñar las unidades fraseológicas a través de la literatura en el aula de ELE

Phraseological units represent an essential component for the development of the lexical and communicative competence of learners and their teaching in the classroom of Spanish as a foreign language occupies an increasingly relevant place. This work presents some classroom activities to teach these units through literature and, specifically, through the novel Sin noticias de Gurb by Eduardo Mendoza. After a theoretical part in which we will try to clarify the importance of phraseology as an essential component of the linguistic heritage of learners and the role that literature can develop in the teaching/learning process of these units, in a second part we propose a series of concrete activities whose objective is to help develop phraseological competence through the aforementioned novel. We believe that literature helps to contextualize and, therefore, to better understand phraseological units as well as helping to design the close relationship that exists between phraseology and culture. Our purpose, in short, is to promote the teaching of phraseology in the Spanish as a foreign language classroom through literature.
