Sumario:Virtual technologies are omnipresent in everyday life and are becoming essential to either online, or hybrid classes. In higher education institutions in the United States, virtual platforms are in-creasingly used for teaching Spanish as a foreign language to students from varying back-grounds. As such, this article proposes an approach to teaching grammar in virtual spaces, that takes into account the communicative goals established in a given syllabus. The methods and strategies we propose offer an attractive language course that allows students to remotely learn and practice a language. As Spanish professors who teach beginning to intermediate level stu-dents, we will share our strategies for teaching grammar using concrete examples from our clas-ses. We will also present data that show some measures of efficiency to teach Spanish grammar in a virtual setting.
