In the Classroom
Let's take a look at an abridged version of a Spanish class focused on the teaching of specific grammatical points. In the segment below, the instructor (Jorge) uses a reconstruction task (dictogloss) to focus students on the analysis of grammatical structures represented in the passage read to the students at normal reading speed. As students try to reconstruct the passage, they have to make decisions about grammar. Subsequently to this stage, the instructor provides students with a transcript of the excerpt and he asks them to identify specific grammatical structures represented in the script.
