This paper investigates how Latin America and its cultures are represented in textbooks on Spanish as a foreign language. The study aims at investigating how much attention and of what type is dedicated to Latin America in the investigated material, whether the textbooks contribute to giving a varied and nuanced image of the Spanish-American cultures and how this relates to the educational goal of promoting an intercultural competence.A qualitative method of analysis has been applied in order to carry out the analysis of three textbooks for intermediate levels of language studies: Caminando 3, Alegria and De acuerdo.The results of the investigation show that the investigated textbooks mostly present a simplified, ethnocentric, homogenized and sometimes postcolonial image of the Spanish-American cultures. Texts where the culture constitutes the context and not the subject can promote a process of identification and consequently an intercultural competence.The study’s main conclusions show that Spanish-American cultures are underrepresented in the investigated material and that a non-native perspective dominates in the majority of the texts. This combined with the lack of variety and profundity, may have consequences for the promotion of an intercultural competence and for teachers’ work with textbooks and cultural content.

En la actualidad, las escuelas suecas donde se enseña el español como lengua extranjera tienen la dificultad de que lo que los alumnos aprenden en clase es olvidado con mucha facilidad en corto tiempo. Para que el aprendizaje de los alumnos sea más efectivo, es necesario que estos aprendan esta nueva lengua con la ayuda de ejercicios que estimulen sus sentidos, de tal modo que la enseñanza favorezca a todos los tipos de aprendientes, según la teoría de los estilos de aprendizaje de Dunn & Dunn. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido el de investigar la presencia de dicha teoría en el libro ¡Vale 6!, si los ejercicios presentes en este libro favorecen a algunos aprendientes más que a otros y qué aprendientes se benefician más con ellos. Para ello se realizó un estudio cuantitativo del contenido del libro. El resultado de este trabajo muestra que solamente ciertos aprendientes (visuales y auditivos) se benefician más con los ejercicios propuestos en ¡Vale6!, lo cual resulta en la necesidad de completar este material con ejercicios adicionales, enfocados en los estilos de aprendizaje rezagados (el kinésico y el táctil), para de este modo poder cumplir con los objetivos planteados por Skolverket.

This paper carries out a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the article "¿Chinofobia?” published by the Spanish newspaper El País. It applies the theory of racist discourse in the media as formulated by Teun A. van Dijk. Its hypothesis is that the article, which supposedly analyses discrimination against the Chinese minority in Spain, covertly blames the Chinese minority itself for the discrimination. Applying CDA methodology as exemplified in previous studies by van Dijk, the paper analyses the article on global and local levels, and delineates its mental model. The global level analysis describes the article in terms of macropropositions and proposes a macrostructure: the self-alienation of the Chinese minority. The paper then analyses how the macrostructure is reinforced on the local level through micropropositions by examining 1) how vocabulary serves the negative presentation and othering of the Chinese minority, 2) how strategies of mitigation minimise discrimination by employing imprecise and vague language, 3) how quotes are used to give coherence and force to the macrostructure, 4) how implications associate the Chinese minority with criminality, and 5) how stereotyped beliefs about the Chinese minority are presented as common sense (presuppositions) and fallaciously argued. Finally, the paper delineates the mental model: the presuppositions about integration, and the implicit warning that minorities should integrate or they will be discriminated against.
