Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language
A.Y. 2021/2022
Learning objectives
The course provides the necessary training for the students who wish to approach the teaching of the foreign language, both for personal and academic interest and to acquire part of the 24 ECTS as a prerequisite for access to national qualification. The course starts from the centrality of the person - 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 action-research. 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 critical skills of traditional methodologies, deep observation and perception skills, reflection and self-assessment skills of her 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 and becoming.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam is in the regular exam sessions and is in Spanish. Students can choose between a summative assessment and an evaluation in progress during the course.
The summative mode is an interview that lasts about 20 minutes with questions posed by the teacher aimed at assessing the knowledge of the texts studied and the precision in the use of specific terminology, as well as the ability to reflect critically and personally on the proposed topics. The questions asked are open-ended and allow for critical and reasoned answers that integrate the main points of the texts in the bibliography. It is not required, therefore, a detailed notional study and it is advisable to use maps or diagrams to have a global vision of the bibliography.
The in-progress mode consists of a reasoned self-assessment based on a portfolio of activities carried out during the lessons.
The evaluation is in thirtieths and the student has the right to reject it. The passing grade is 18/30.
