Discussing language variation in introductory linguistics courses is a given in helping university students understand that speakers and communities use language differently. For Spanish majors/minors in the US, such content can be explored in linguistics courses taught in Spanish. However, little research has been done on pedagogy for teaching Hispanic linguistics in this context. Following an action-based design, this study contributes to research on linguistics pedagogy by exploring how students in four sections of an introductory Spanish linguistics course reacted not only to the topic of social and/or structural variation but also to the use of corpus tools in exploring this topic.
I would like to thank my students for their participation in the study and for the feedback they provided. I am also thankful for the helpful comments of the referees and the associate editors, Dr. Hiramatsu and Dr. Temkin Martínez. All remaining errors are mine.
