Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2014-15

The presence of foreign languages in current education is an indisputable fact supported by the impulse of the plurilingual education as a response to the European, national and regional guidelines. The acquisition of linguistic competence in a foreign language used as a medium of instruction and not as a particular area of study is one of the most important educational proposal of the last century, considered a basic instrumental learning.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a really communicative methodology that allows the combination of language teaching and learning objectives with those in other curricular areas where both are significantly reinforced.

In this context, it is essential that the initial teachers training provide future teachers the opportunity to expand and consolidate their knowledge of the English language as well as know CLIL methodology and provide the appropriate teaching resources for the teaching practice.

Knowledge of theoretical principles (linguistic, legislative and educational) of this methodology, analysis and experimentation of classroom resources as well as the development and exposure of a CLIL didactic unit  are three of the main objectives of this subject.

  • CE3 : Organise teaching in the framework of the epistemological paradigms of the subjects of the degree course, combining one's knowledge of the discipline with the transversal and multidisciplinary knowledge needed for the respective levels of education, showing one's understanding of the learning aims of the areas of knowledge laid down in the primary education curriculum.
  • CE4 : Motivate and promote the progress of students in school in the framework of comprehensive education and promote their self-learning skills, starting with the targets and content of each educational level, with positive expectations of student progress. All of this while renouncing traditional stereotypes that are external to learning, and developing strategies to avoid discrimination and exclusion.
