Objectives and Contextualisation
Elective subject that deepens the integrated processes of teaching and learning. It aims to reflect on the challenges presented by the language training practices of schoolchildren in Catalonia and to think of new didactic approaches to work in classrooms, at a time of educational and social debate on methodologies. It is organized with a seminar work that constantly brings teaching practices into contact with the theoretical frameworks that underpin and explain them. The objectives are to acquire knowledge and skills in the following aspects of language teaching: (1) The selection and integration of the different types of linguistic and communicative content of the curriculum in teaching and learning units inspired by the results of the current research, units that are usually called "projects" or "teaching sequences". (2) The consideration of the multilingualism of our society and the school curriculum as facts that determine the planning of language learning and the proposals for intervention in the classrooms. (3) The reflective observation of the reality of the classroom in relation to the knowledge provided by didactic research as a key element for teaching innovation and the improvement of education in the schools of our country. the subject takes into account the gender perspective both in terms of specific content that needs to be worked on linked to inclusive language and in terms of the visibility of women's contributions to the disciplinary field.
Competences
- Develop and evaluate contents of the curriculum by means of appropriate didactic resources and promote the corresponding skills in pupils.
- Effectively address language learning situations in multicultural and multilingual contexts.

- Being able to develop activities and didactic material focusing on language learning adapted to the social and specific contexts of each educational centre.
- Being aware of the possibilities of constructing knowledge in collaborative situations and being able to manage them.

Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Groupe sessions | 45 | 1.8 | 1, 8 |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Tutorials | 30 | 1.2 | 1, 3, 8, 7, 6, 2, 9 |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Self-study | 75 | 3 | 1, 8, 7, 6 |
The teaching methodology is based on the assumption that knowledge is constructed in the collaborative processes
between teachers and students, and among students. This knowledge is built mainly in
performing tasks in which acquired knowledge is mobilized in order to assimilate new
knowledge provided by teachers directly, but especially through reading and sharing experiences.
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.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual test about the contents | 45% | 0 | 0 | 1, 4, 8, 7, 6, 5 |
| Participation and tasks realized in the classroom | 20% | 0 | 0 | 1, 8, 7, 6, 2 |
| Written assignment in group work | 35% | 0 | 0 | 1, 3, 8, 7, 6, 9 |
Assessment has two lines: monitoring the learning process during the course and the final achievement the objectives and competencies. To pass the course must have attended at least 80% of the class sessions, have developed and presented all the activities in the prescribed period and overcome each of the 3 blocks of activities evaluation. Oral and written Catalan and Spanish languages at an academic level, equivalent to C2 of the CEFR, is a prerequisite for pass the course. The group course work will be delivered at the end of Block 3. The class activities will be presented in front of the whole class on the days indicated within each block. The class activities that represent 20% will always involve a written assignment that must always be delivered within one week after the session. This affects those who follow the continuous evaluation. For the single evaluation, the work must be handed in on the day of the exam. For everyone, the exam on the content worked on will be held on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; the make-up exam will be held the following Wednesday from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM. If what is not passed are the class activities or the course group work, a specific test will be taken on the class activities and/or group work. For those following the single evaluation, the same recovery system as for continuous assessment will be applied.
