Almécija Castillo, Gabriel (¿?-post 1928)
Record details
Vida
Natural de Huércal (Almería), aunque no se sabe la fecha de su nacimiento, Gabriel Almécija Castillo fue un maestro de primeras letras de principios del siglo XX. Obtuvo el título por la Escuela Normal de Almería en 1907, tras haber ejercido en las escuelas de su localidad natal. Una vez aprobados los exámenes que le dieron acceso al ejercicio de la docencia, fue destinado a la localidad malagueña de Monda en ese mismo año. En 1915 solicitó el traslado a Lorca (Murcia) y, tres años más tarde, a Melilla, desde donde volvió a solicitar una plaza en la Península, concretamente en Málaga, en 1928, que le fue denegada. Desconocemos el año de su fallecimiento.
La Ortografía castellana teórico-práctica es un tratado ortográfico, precedido por unas páginas dedicadas a la pronunciación, que sigue la norma académica. En él, Almécija combina la exposición teórica con ejercicios prácticos que cierran cada una de las lecciones subsumidas en la división tripartita: «Uso de las letras», «Del acento ortográfico» y «Signos de puntuación y notas auxiliares de la escritura». Destinado a maestros de primera educación, el manual ofrece dos posibilidades metodológicas, fácilmente reconocibles en la tipografía, que permiten adaptar el contenido al tipo de alumnado: el monólogo, para aquellos iniciados en la materia, o el diálogo, más frecuente en niveles elementales por su didactismo. La obra fue editada en 1904, pero tuvo, al menos, dos ediciones más en 1924 (con el título de Ortografía castellana. Colección completa de reglas teórico-práctica […], 1924, considerablemente aumentada) y 1929.
Obra
- Ortografía castellana teórico-práctica. Precedida de breves nociones de prosodia con arreglo a los principios de la Real Academia. Para uso de las escuelas de 1ª enseñanza, Tipografía “La Enseñanza”, Almería, 1904.
