Course context for academic year 2016-17
The subject "English Independent User" is focused on the training of professionals and teachers who will use English as a Foreign Language and/or Second Language (L2). In this regard, theoretical sessions and practical classes entail the application of active methodologies in order to foster an autonomous and significant learning. For that purpose error-based analysis and problem-based tactics will be used as daily routines.
Therefore, the methods and techniques developed in the classroom involve a double-sense result, as they are supposed to be effective for both students of English language in Education or any other area and future teachers/speakers applying their own teaching strategies when training independent users in English.
In that sense the syllabus includes two sections or approaches:
1. Teaching English Language or "Teaching in English" with special interest in the development of communicative competence in the classroom. Innovative strategies, teaching quality and practical applications.
2. Contents used to support the teaching methodologies for the development of language and communication skills that enhance the knowledge and good use of the English language.
