A Didactic Proposal for the use of the "Como si" Structure in the Composite Sentences during the Learning of Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE)

Abstract

The present work born of a concern by the Spanish in Iraq at the college level teaching especially to some structure that Arab students in general and Iraqis in particular, are in their learning process. Our first thought was, therefore, a direct and close to the student as subject of learning, as well as what the student produces as a result of the same attention. In this paper we intend to equip students of linguistic knowledge to be able to interact in a variety of situations and deal with everyday problems, in a way that develops the communication skills that enable him to establish a successful communication during the learning of Spanish as a foreign language that is the use of the structure "Como si".  Although we are aware that it is foolish to provide clear-cut solutions to what all agree as one of the most important syntactic issues, and where you can see a huge contradiction of the different theoretical proposals. Thus, our work is an attempt to enable the students to be able to use and recognize this structure, especially in the early stages of learning.
