Digital Experiences with Poetry in the Spanish as a Foreign Language Classroom

his paper aims to propose tools to promote a greater presence of crea-tivity and digital media in the teaching of foreign languages. It focuses on the genre of digital poetry, a genre halfway between literature and digital technologies, whose didactic potentialities for the Spanish as a foreign language classroom are multifold since it is a genre that draws on the poetic avant-garde movements of the 20th cen-tury and employs tools of great utility for any user of digital environments. Based on this definition, the article offers a review of the most representative works of digital poetry of the Spanish-speaking scene and it identifies the resources used by these au- thors to produce said creations. Finally, it presents a series of digital tools and their affordances for the Spanish as a foreign lan-guage classroom, among which we highlight the possibility of developing three compe-tencies that rarely go hand in hand: literary competence, communicative competence and digital literacies.
