I manuali digitali come strumenti di inclusione linguistico-culturale: le varietà dello spagnolo in contesto ELE

Starting from an examination of the presence of Spanish language varieties in educational programs, this paper explores whether digital resources are used to enhance students' exposure to diverse spoken forms of Spanish. The primary objective is to analyze how different publishing houses incorporate Spanish varieties into their manuals, particularly at basic proficiency levels. The focus is on audiovisual contents, and the findings suggest that the editorial policy significantly influences choices in constructing and presenting these digital materials. The linguistic diversity and normative variations of Spanish are often underrepresented or inconsistently portrayed, possibly creating confusion for students. As a result, the teacher's role as a mediator is essential in helping students navigate and make sense of these language varieties.
