This theoretical-practical course has the purpose of
inducing the student in a practice scenario in which
they will have to test their skills, knowledge, critical
thinking and problem-solving capacity. That is why this
course will help the student to develop the capacity for
autonomous learning, through practice, which will help
the future teacher to project his role in a real scenario,
with real problems that will help him reflect on the
current pedagogical setbacks and thus be able to
propose solution strategies that are coupled to the
demands and needs of the students, perfecting their
methodology in such a way that when the student
becomes a professional he is in full capacity to function
correctly and obtain good results through significant
learning in their students.
Phases
Phase 1: This phase is intended to give the student a
general recognition of the course.
Phase 2: The purpose of this activity is to start relate the
student to the place of practice and allow the student to
examine the most important factors influential in acquiring
knowledge about a new language
Phase 3: In this phase the student will have to put test your
analysis and comparison skills so to be able to identify the
main characteristics of the theories related to the
acquisition of foreign languages.
Phase 4: In this phase the student will have to analyze the
learning styles used in the classroom that fit better to the
demands and needs of the students
Phase 5: In this phase the student will have to create a
well-structured proposal where it articulates the characteristics
of a particular activity to a type evaluation specific.
Learning outcome
Learning Outcome 1: Review the characteristics of the
course and the particularities of the pedagogical and
educational practice process.
Learning Outcome 2: Examine the factors that influence

Learning Outcome 3: Compare the main theories on foreign
language acquisition within the context of the pedagogical
practice scenario.
Learning Outcome 4: Evaluate teaching strategies used
within the classroom based on the student's learning
characteristics.
Learning Outcome 5: Set up a proposal related to the new
assessment approaches in the classroom environment.
