Constructing alignment in Spanish as a foreign/second language teaching

The article analyzes the general outline of a formal process of Spanish as a second/foreign language teaching, from the objectives to the table of contents needed to achieve them, the methodology and the activities used for the learning of those contents and the assessment method used. It will be shown that, in a certain moment of the process, the line initially drawn is usually broken. The result is a non-aligned teaching and, therefore, a superficial learning (BIGGS, 2005).
