Course context for academic year 2021-22

Asignatura dedicada al análisis de la variedad geográfica de la lengua española en Hispanoamérica en relación a su estructura fonética, morfosintáctica y léxica, y, en general, ocupada del estudio de los hechos lingüísticos, geográficos y sociales.

Los alumnos/as podrán completar los conocimientos adquiridos durante el desarrollo de la asignatura Sociolingüística y Dialectología Españolas de carácter diastrático y diatópico con El español de América de tipo diatópico. Así mismo, podrán completar sus asignaturas de carácter sincrónico con esta en la que se contempla la diatopía.

La asignatura El español de América tiene una orientación teórico-práctica. Los contenidos teóricos de cada uno de los temas incluidos en la guía docente se expondrán de forma clara y ordenada durante el desarrollo de las clases teóricas, intentando en todo momento fomentar la participación del alumnado. Por ello, a través de la lección participativa, se pretenderá estimular su capacidad reflexiva sobre lo expuesto e incitarlo a que exprese sus propias ideas y juicios acerca de la materia tratada. El desarrollo de las clases teóricas incluirá asimismo la aplicación de los contenidos a casos concretos en cuyo análisis deberán participar también los alumnos/as.

Por otra parte, se explicarán unos ejemplos prácticos, relacionados con la materia tratada, muy similares a los que se le plantean en el trabajo teórico-práctico. Con estos ejemplos, los alumnos/as ponen en práctica los conocimientos adquiridos durante el desarrollo de las clases teóricas y los aplican a casos concretos.

Los materiales estarán a disposición del alumnado por medio del Campus Virtual y por la Plataforma Multimedia.

Los alumnos/as podrán participar también en distintos foros temáticos y en debates relacionados con los diferentes temas tratados. En ellos podrán exponer todas aquellas dudas que les vayan surgiendo y compartir con sus compañeros/as los conocimientos teóricos adquiridos.

Finalmente, se le recomendará al alumnado que, para todas aquellas dudas que no haya planteado o para tratar cuestiones de forma más detallada, haga uso de las horas de tutoría que la profesora haya fijado o recurra a las tutorías virtuales, a través del Campus Virtual de la Universidad de Alicante o de la Plataforma Multimedia.
