Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course provides the necessary training for the students of the course of study who wish to approach the teaching of the foreign language, both for personal interest and for the need to acquire 24 CFU as a prerequisite for access to the FIT. The course starts from the centrality of the people - student and teacher, first of all - in the teaching and learning of Spanish as a second language or as a foreign language. Using active and experiential teaching, the lessons develop an open and personalized curriculum for each student, aimed at stimulating the skills of observation, perception, introspection and research-action. Using the ideas offered by the European Portfolio for student teachers of languages, the creative programming of the communicative curriculum, the linguistic input, the management of relations in the classroom and the transformative evaluation are dealt with in an integrated way. The aim is for the student to get a non-traditional, humanistic overview of the key points of foreign language teaching/learning.
Expected learning outcomes
The expected results in terms of knowledge and understanding are that the student learns the basics of communicative foreign language teaching, understands the model of language acquisition of the second language and acquires disciplinary terminology. In terms of soft skills, the student develops deep critical skills of traditional methodologies, deep observation and perception skills, reflection and self-assessment skills of his profile as a teacher in training, problem solving and creative skills and self-assessment skills. The expected results in terms of applied skills are the ability to question practices and models crystallized in common practice, to define objectives of language training and self-training, to set up a relational type of teaching centered on the person and to conceive the teaching/learning in terms of experience.
