Aproximación pragmalingüística a tres hitos difíciles del sistema verbal en la ense？anza del espa？ol como lengua extranjera

in this article we present a revision of the role of the pragmatic constituent in teaching second languages. this revision is the starting point to set up a didactic proposal which aims at applying pragmalinguistic criteria when teaching three features with a high degree of markedness in spanish: ser and estar, the past of the indicative mode, and the modal discrimination between the subjunctive and the indicative. these features also present double selection and do not exhibit a clear relationship between meaning and form, which makes them difficult structures to acquire by non native speakers.
