The use of pronominal forms of treatment is one of the most complex aspects of Spanish morphosyntax, according to Fontanella de Weinberg (1999). From the perspective of E/LE teaching and learning, it is a challenging subject, especially when considering the socio-pragmatic factors that are involved and the limitations of didactic materials. In this publication, we propose a sociopragmatic approach to the interpretation and learning of 2nd person pronominal forms of address - tú, vos, and usted - using audiovisual resources in Spanish as input. Using this proposal, which is aimed at the intermediate level of learning, it is expected that teachers and students can be more attentive (i) to aspects related to the diatopic variation when using forms of address; (ii) to issues of a pragmatic nature, such as social deixis; and (iii) to the multifunctionality of each variant.
