Abstract:
This doctoral thesis focuses on the difficulties experienced by Turkish students in the acquisition and use of the article in Spanish at level A1 of the CEFR (2002) and seeks solutions to improve this process. In this thesis three different investigations are carried out. In the first place, three ELE manuals of level A1, frequently used in Turkey, are analyzed to find out how this grammatical category is treated in these manuals and to detect if they need any improvement in this aspect. Second, an error analysis of Turkish students is carried out to find out the problems they have in using the article in Spanish. The analysis of the manuals has shown that these manuals offer fewer references on the contrast of the definite and indefinite articles and on the omission of the article. On the other hand, the error analysis of Turkish students has revealed that Turkish students mainly have problems with the erroneous omission of the definite article and the compatibility of the definite article with some verbs. Based on these two investigations, a didactic intervention has been designed to encourage the use of the article by the aforementioned students
