Teaching sessions will be held in English.
Activities will be done in big, medium-sized or small groups, and also individually.
The lectures will be devoted, on the one hand, to the study of the main trends and methods in the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language in Primary Education, paying special attention to receptive and productive oral skills. On the other hand, students will improve their communicative competence by dealing with lexical, morphological and syntactic aspects of the foreign language.
Interactive sessions (for medium-sized groups) will also be focused on the development of the students’ communicative competence, particularly as regards listening and speaking skills, by means of activities devised to check students’ comprehension and production of oral texts.
Individual and group assessment will be focused on verifying the acquisition of both linguistic competence and methodological knowledge.
The teaching platform will be used both to complement the face-to-face sessions by including additional materials, as a tool for continous assessment and to promote autonomous learning (class forum, quizzes, short essays).
Tutorials (for small groups or single students) will be monitoring sessions devoted to the students’ supervision and the encouragement of autonomous learning.
