Command Spanish Teaching Methods and Techniques

[1584andres]

I am chilean. I would say: "Voltéese" or "dese vuelta" or "dese la vuelta". All works. En procedimiento policial diría: -Por favor, pare el motor y baje del auto. -Me permite su licencia de conducir. -¿posee drogas? -Voltée sus bolsillos. -Dese vuelta (voltéese) A) -Usted está arrestado. -Tiene derecho a un abogado. -Tiene derecho a una llamada. -Todo lo que Usted diga puede ser usado en su contra. B) -Está todo en regla, puede continuar. -Perdone la molestia. Es por su seguridad. Saludos

volteese also works, he hablado con hispano hablantes y ellos lo usa, dar la vuelta y volteese es igual

As a HS Spanish teacher I have issues here:

1) "Voltéese" is not a useful phrase for beg/intermd students. I am fairly proficient in Spanish, and have never used/heard this phrase

2) The target phrase is not placed in any meaningful context, ie, comprehensible input

3) Like another commenter, too much effort placed on one phrase

To give pos feedback it is good to use a variety of methods, but the way they are used here seems very behaviorialist, old-fashioned, and ineffective.

There is a lot of time being spent in just one word, I don't understand, if it is like that it would take a long time to acquire the language.

¿Qué fue de aquello de "Dése la vuelta"? ¿Quién demonios dice "voltéese" hablando de forma cotidiana? //

Whatever became of "Dése la vuelta"? Who the heck would say "voltéese" in their everyday speech?

Thanks for the refresher lesson on the techniques.
