5. Contenidos

Teoría.

  • The subject will consist of Theoretical-Practical Classes, where we will devote particular attention to the four skills taught in foreign language teaching:
  • The Reading skill: read articles, essays and reviews related to the pedagogical area in which students will become to be in contact with.
  • The Listening skill: listen to a radio interview, listen to someone’s daily routine, listen to a song, listen to a TV news report, listen to a conversation about a film, listen to different dialogues, listen to two people talking about a particular topic, etc.
  • The Speaking skill: ask for and give information, talk about personal likes and dislikes, ask for and give personal details, compare people, tell a friend about future plans, exchange opinions, explain why you particularly like a film, book, piece of music, etc, talk for an extended period about a familiar topic, participate in reaching a group decision, make a simple informal presentation, carry out the presentation of different activities to be developed in a class of primary,etc .
  • The Writing skill: write about personal events in the past, write about what you would do in a hypothetical situation, write an e-mail to a friend you haven’t talked to for a long time, write a composition describing similarities or differences, write a thank-you note, write an informal letter to a friend, give advice, make suggestions, write an essay about a controversial issue, write an article for a magazine explaining the advantages of one method for teaching foreign languages etc.

Moreover, we will also provide students with real instances of language in use around three different perspectives:

1.- Samples  of linguistic functions:  expressing obligation, apologising,  refusing, encouraging, advising, predicting, suggesting a solution, disagreeing, expressing preferences, asking for clarification, describing feelings, offering help, etc.

2.- Samples of language focus: revision of question forms, verbal tenses, modal verbs, use of articles, quantifiers with countable and uncountable nouns, comparative and superlative adjectives, the passive voice, conditional sentences, etc.

3.- Samples of Vocabulary and topics for speaking and writing: leisure activities, hobbies and interests, words to describe feelings, daily routines, dates and special occasions, physical appearance and personal characteristics, holidays, ambitions and dreams, geographical features, health and accidents, everyday objects, etc.

6. Metodologías Docentes

The course is designed to follow the communicative approach through an integrated syllabus that links grammar, communicative and intercultural functions and theoretical basis for foreign language teaching. The four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) are presented fully integrated, though grammar, pronunciation and lexis will also be practiced. Grammatical structures are presented in intercultural communicative contexts covering different topics and through grammatical descriptions that explain their usage. Grammar is exploited by means of practice exercises while strategies to achieve the above mentioned linguistic skills will also be carried out.

Students will be expected to prepare and participate in those activities presented by the teacher or by other classmates. They will be asked to complete the tasks assigned throughout the course, such as giving short oral presentations and producing didactic activities to be presented in the classroom. Reading and writing practice will be mostly carried out as homework to be reviewed during the class time, so they will be asked to read short written texts and produce a number of essays and reports at home. They will also be expected to display activities for conversational practice to take place in the seminar classes. Finally, they will be expected to put into practice the instructions commented in class and to develop strategies for ongoing self-study of a foreign language.

Moreover students will enable to participate in a day of practice at one school if they want to take part in this formative proyect
