A good oral and written command of Catalan and Spanish (C2 level) will be necessary to achieve the aims of the course. An English or French B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages will also be required.
This course provides the basic knowledge necessary for all future primary school teachers. In particular, it provides participants with theoretical and practical tools to teach 8 to 12 year olds how to write in all content areas, to engage their future pupils in activities that promote metalinguistic awareness and to organize language learning activities in the classroom.
The learning goals of the course, achieved through promoting student-teacher interaction, are basically two:
- To learn how to design and manage environments, activities and classroom materials to foster metalinguistic reflection and to help 8 to 12 year olds to learn how to write.
- To understand the theoretical premises underlying language learning theories, approaches and methods that account for the phenomena that take place in the classroom and to make proposals for innovation that emerge from such premises.
BLOCK 1 - Teaching, learning and assessing writing activities addressed to 8 to 12 year olds
- The reading and writing processes. Models and reflections on teaching how to read and write.
- Writing from a sociocultural perspective: school and social genres.
- Writing as human activity. Activity theory and formal language learning.
- The integration of linguistic skills in description of learners’ writing competence.
- The assessment of students’ reading and writing learning processes
BLOCK 2 - Knowledge of oral language: its role in language training
- Teaching and learning how to spell
- Metalinguistic activities as tools to learn the formal uses of languages.
- Teaching of grammar: students’ reflective processes and referential content.
BLOCK 3 - School organization of language education
- Language learning school environments. The organization of the space in the language classroom.
- The integration of different contents of the linguistic curriculum in meaningful activities for students: insights into project-based learning and on how to plan teaching sequences.
BLOCK 4 - Teaching, learning and assessing young learners (children aged 8 to 12) speaking skills
- Interaction in the classroom as a developmental and learning tool.
- Teaching approaches for the development of reception, production and interaction competencies in the languages in the school curriculum.
- Teaching and learning 8 to 12 year olds how to speak and interact.
- Criteria for selecting and assessing speaking tasks in the classroom: reception, production and interaction tasks.
Sessions with the whole group: The teacher will introduce the topics to be dealt with in the course, discuss the class readings, set the tasks, tutor students individually or in small groups, monitor group work and give feedback. Students will cooperate with their peers to construct shared knowledge through oral presentations and to elaborate the course assignments.
Seminar sessions: students work in small groups under the supervision of the teacher, who monitors group work and give learners feedback.
Autonomous self-study time: individual and group work tasks to be carried out outside the classroom
The teaching methodology favours students’ active participation in their learning as it creates spaces for cooperative work. Knowledge is built as a process of contrasting and critically examining information and by establishing a relationship among the new knowledge gained, the experience one possesses and one’s analysis of the immediate reality.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

During small group work and seminar sessions students will prepare a document to establish self-regulation mechanisms of their own learning process. In addition, teachers will provide mechanism to track this process. Referring to the final assessment of the subject, evaluation activities will be carried out (see the list in the figure).
Formative assessment tools will be used to evaluate student’s individual or group assignments in all types of assessment activities (directed, supervised and autonomous).
80% of attendance is a sine qua non condition to pass the subject. Not meeting this requirement results in a Fail.
All assessment tasks need to be passed (minimum grade of 5 out of 10) in order to pass the subject. Language will be part of the assessment in learning portfolio, written works and oral presentations. No oral presentation or written assignment will obtain a pass mark if students do not demonstrate a good command of Catalan.
The teacher will, in due time, establish a mechanism to help students improve the score in one particular assignment. Only in the case of the learning portfolio will be given the opportunity to elaborate an extra assignment to try to get a pass mark of each task (maximum mark 6), for the written works there is not this opportunity.
In accordance with UAB policy, plagiarism or copy of any task or part of a task will be penalized with a fail (0). Students do not be given the possibility of doing that assignment again. The rule applies to all individual and group tasks (in the latter case, all members of the group who commits plagiarism will score 0 in that assignment). If during the realisation of an individual assessment task in the classroom, the teacher sees a student trying to copy or find any document or device not approved by the faculty, the mark for the task will also be 0, and that student will not be allowed to redo the task.
The subject is assessed by means of a learning portfolio that includes different activities distributed throughout the course and which aredetailed below.
BLOCK 1
Block 1 on written language is divided into two parts. Part 1A on writing and part 1B on reading. Part 1A is assessed with an individual written activity based on the contents of this first part of the block. Part 1B is assessed with an individual activity analysing activities. This block also includes two reflective activities to be carried out at the beginning and end of the course.
BLOCK 2
Block 2 will be assessed on the basis of an individual oral task on the topics covered in the class sessions and the corresponding readings.
BLOCK 3
Block 3 is assessed with a theoretical and practical written activity of justification and analysis of a discursive genre. This is a group activity.
BLOCK 4
Block 4 is assessed with a written activity analysing teaching strategies. This is a group activity.
The group work consists of the design of a didactic unit. The groups will have to choose a discursive genre, decide on the linguistic content to be learnt, plan and sequence the activities and design the corresponding activities.
Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVID-19
In order to pass this course, students must prove they have avery good command of Catalan (C2 level, as described here: http://www.uab.cat/web/els-estudis/-competencia-linguistica-1345698914384.html). To do so, at the end of the semester they should sit a C2 language test (tests can also be taken in June).
If students possess a C2 Catalan certificate issued by either Direcció General de Política Lingüística or the language service of this university, they should not take the test.
If the student has not obtained theCatalan level 2 for Pre-school and Primary Education teachers, the mark will be a 3.
If the student passes the rest of the subject and have failed the Catalan level 2, the next course will have to demonstrate that he/she have obtained it; the whole of the subject will continue the evaluation of synthesis that each teacher will decide.
