3. PROYECCIÓN METODOLÓGICA Y ORGANIZATIVA PARA EL DESARROLLO DE LA ASIGNATURA

( PROYECCIÓN DE LOS MÉTODOS DE ENSEÑANZA-APRENDIZAJE QUE SE UTILIZARÁN)

The Communicative Approach: communication is not just a goal of language learning, but is integral to the process.
Students need this competence so they can communicate effectively using their knowledge of the target language.
The Visual Approach: visual material is used to engage learners, stimulate language and help cross language borders.
Class activities develop learners’ critical thinking skills by encouraging students not only to describe images, but also to
interpret and discuss them.
Task-based Language Teaching: students should learn language by using it. They will learn by performing tasks and
through problem-solving, not by receiving information. In this way, students must recall and use language they have
learned in order to accomplish the task.
Digital Literacy: the role of technology in education cannot be limited to enhancement of language or access to
knowledge. Students also need to learn how to use technology effectively and ethically to accomplish both academic and
real-world tasks.
Extensive/Intensive Reading: students will examine the language in a text to see how it has been used. Intensive reading
is also used to develop specific reading strategies, while Extensive reading helps the student see the new language in
context several times in order to acquire it.
PROYECCIÓN DEL EMPLEO DE LAS TIC EN LOS PROCESOS DE APRENDIZAJE
Use of TIC strategies applied to teaching English in the classroom Texts and monolingual / bilingual dictionaries.
Photocopiable material about articles, newspapers, cuttings, games among others.
