A teaching proposal for expressiveness in Basque: imitation games

Abstract

Young people need Spanish to be angry, to be happy, to be surprised, to be themselves. In education in general, oral practice is not addressed, and therefore a teaching sequence is proposed to work on oral expressiveness in Basque. The core of the work is for students to imitate the conversations of speakers in the street, to learn how to regulate pronunciation and bodily expression, and to be aware of and use a wide variety of linguistic resources.
