Teaching methods and learning activities
Lessons will be both practical and theoretical and will be based on an action-oriented approach considering users and learners of a language primarily as social agents, intercultural speakers and autonomous learners. Students will be expected to be involved in the lessons and in their own learning.
Classes will be taught in Spanish. The didactic material for the course will mainly be taken from a support text produced by the teachers, which will be available on Moodle.
