BURGO, Clara. Hispanic Linguistics Instruction: How Should We Teach It?. Leng. Soc. [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.1, pp.405-420.  Epub May 12, 2023. ISSN 1729-9721.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/lengsoc.v22i1.24308.

Despite the increasing demand for Hispanic Linguistics courses in Spanish programs across US universities, there is scarce research on how to implement communicative and content-based instruction. This article introduces an overview of best practices for introductory courses on Hispanic Linguistics with a focus on problem-solving activities and collaborative learning since instructors must always have in mind the course objectives; in the same vein, they have to be able to provide a descriptive approach to Linguistics to eradicate the myths that exist about language.

Keywords : teaching methods; descriptive approach; collaborative learning; best practices.
