ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a report on the growing use of gender-inclusive language in Spanish and the reactions of the Chilean Academia de la Lengua. Exercises in this chapter call for independent research on this issue in the Spanish-speaking world and the expression of opinion on its importance. Work on vocabulary also focuses on abstract nouns which are used as gender-inclusive alternatives. The grammar points covered are the basic uses of ser and estar and verbal groups expressing such notions as beginning, ending and repeating actions. Production exercises require the expression of reasoned opinion and a debate on the specifics of the linguistic strategies used to achieve gender inclusiveness.
