""This highly innovative textbook contains instructive, engaging activities incorporating real-world examples of language use that enable students to discover the logical structure and predictable patterns of grammatical variation. The diverse practice exercises provide students with a deep understanding of core topics of Spanish grammar, including features of heritage speaker varieties often excluded from advanced grammar textbooks. The equitable examination of grammar topics and Spanish-speaking communities allows Gramática espanola to pack a double-punch. Students advance their understanding of Spanish grammar and increase their sociocultural awareness around stigmas attached to particular linguistic forms. Achieving these goals is a triumph within the classroom and beyond."" Esther L. Brown, Department of Spanish & Portuguese, University of Colorado Boulder, USA. “Kim Potowski and Naomi Shin have done an outstanding job expanding what is already an invaluable and unique resource for Spanish teachers and students. Exploring grammatical structures in an accessible way that highlights linguistic variation and its social perceptions allows readers to truly understand why language users make the choices they do. After reading this book, engaging in the suggested discussion topics and completing the activities, students are able to examine linguistic attitudes in a new light, while also feeling empowered in their own language use.” Dr. Sonia Barnes, Associate Professor of Spanish, Marquette University, USA.
