Teaching the Subjunctive

Teaching Subjunctive in Spanish: what to know about and how to teach it
THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT IN BUENOS AIRES

1. Description: Theory and Teaching Strategies for the use and value of the subjunctive in Spanish, with special focus on the interaction between Syntax and Semantics.

 Subjunctive and pragmatics
