Abstract

This article discusses the mediation strategies that have been used for the teaching of grammar both at the secondary and higher education levels.
Neurolinguistics has taken advantage of the progress of medical advances in neurology to better understand how the human brain works in everything related to the
communicative capacity of speakers, not only in terms of their production and listening capacities, but mainly their abilities. construction and interpretation of
messages; area that is more related to logic and the parts of the brain that are linked to it. In such a way that when pretending to mediate in the learning process of
grammar if students are induced to fragment a text or a sentence into parts, they are being asked to use their left hemisphere, but when they are asked to identify the
components syntactic through questions of the type Who? What? and whom? for sentence components, you are misled because this type of question implies the
concept of animity, which the right brain recognizes well, so that it fails to give non-animated answers to questions that demand an animated response. Hence, there is a constant idea to respond with animated subjects and animated indirect objects, while there is a tendency to consider direct objects as inanimate, which limits the analysis and understanding of texts.
