Main Article Content

Abstract

This paper explores the potential of narrative hyperfictions to enhance essential skills in B2-level teenage learners of Spanish as a foreign language. Specifically, it investigates how the use of digital tools and social networks enhance reading motivation, written expression, and creative development in a multicultural educational setting. This study proves that the deliberate use of digital and interactive formats not only increases willingness to read, but also strengthens written production and encourages active student engagement in meaning construction.
