Summary/Abstract: After abolishing the grammar-translation method in foreign language teaching, the use of poetry in Spanish language textbooks is considerably restricted. Despite the efforts of modern Spanish academics to rehabilitate it theoretically as a valuable didactic tool in the acquisition of principal language skills, the authors of recent Spanish language textbooks (for speakers of other languages) continue to accord it a secondary function, to apply it as illustrative material or to totally ignore it. The present article sets the aim of demonstrating the main tendencies in using poetic texts in Spanish language teaching on the basis of a comparative analysis of a considerable corpus of textbooks, published and edited after 2000.
