Abstract: At Higher Education, spelling problems can be raised in extracurricular proposals through voluntary training offered as a complementary course or seminar. The paper presents a design for Spanish language learners, which can be answered in 30 minutes. It arises from a deep understanding of the reality of the student through a study of the most common faults, which are concentrated in sections. At the same time, being designed as a questionnaire, may assume prior knowledge of the student, removing his or her misconceptions and going to the root of the problems. The learning during the answering time should be multiplied by different types of feedback: for example, putting it together in small or large group, the number of phases depending on the time available for the activity. As a result, the design is quick and efficient at the same time for improving written Spanish skills.
