This article will present a didactic experiment for the optimization of the narrative expression in Spanish as a foreign language recently developed with student volunteers from three Hispanic Literature courses within the Spanish undergraduate degree at the University of the West Indies on the Caribbean island of Barbados. This is a didactic application model whose triple objective is to analyze the subjective and affective elements of narrative focus that structure every story, as well as create awareness among our students of the narrative-neurolinguistic-emotional mechanisms, and strengthen their own narrative expression in Spanish. The exercise consists of two parts, one analytical and one expressive. By way of didactic support for both, two samples of literary texts from the Hispanic Caribbean are incorporated, one contemporary (a chapter of the novel De nombres y animales, by Dominican author Rita Indiana, 2013), and one traditional Venezuelan Afro-Caribbean fable ("Tía Zorra y los peces"). The volunteer students participating in the experiment received a work booklet including the reading material to be used, as well as an iterative and progressive selection of reflection, analysis and expression tasks. Under the guise of simple semi-open questions of brief response, the student is guided through this journey of conscious observation and equipped with a basic kit of epistemological tools of narrative and psycho-neuro-linguistic nature, such as narrative focalization, the superficial and deep structure of language, and the neuroscientific notion of engram, en route to the final task of creating a fable in Spanish.
