Phraseological equivalence in ELE: the case of idiomatic verbal locutions in Spanish and Russian; [La equivalencia fraseológica en ELE: el caso de las locuciones verbales idiomáticas en español y ruso]

In the framework of the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL), there is still a relative lack of an integrative methodology that not only mentions the importance of knowing the phraseological units in the classroom, but that also considers their idiomatic meaning for a better understanding by the students. Likewise, the aim of this paper focuses on the importance of integrative didactic materials within the framework of phraseology in general and idiomatic verbal locutions, from initial levels, to improve the phraseodidactic process in the SFL classroom. To carry out the study, a total of 80 Russian learners from different courses and levels volunteered to complete a questionnaire consisting of idiomatic verbal locutions. Finally, it is concluded that the role of these language combinations in the teaching-learning of SFL is beneficial. © 2023 Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona and Universitat de Girona.
