II. Course Description and Objectives


This course is aimed to prepare students in regard to the design and selection of didactic material. Students
will broaden their knowledge of the use of these so-called resources. Moreover, this course will be guided as a
workshop in order for students to create and use different types of teaching aids in all levels. Moreover,
students will be prompt to go deeper in the use of authentic material and other resources that can help them to
develop either language or content classes.

III. Competences:
During this course students will be able to:

1. Develop techniques and strategies for the preparation of didactic material.


2. Study the different uses of common resources such as the use of the white board, flash cards, and new
strategies for the usage of the classroom: chairs organization, energizers, etc.
3. Select and design teaching aids in regard to content, learning styles and context of the learning
process.
4. Ability to know the linguistic elements of English, recognize the changing nature of the language and
adjust gaps in that knowledge through their own learning.
5. Ability to use curricular competences and methodologies to evaluate, select, design and adapt
pedagogical resources.

IV. Methodology:
This pedagogical space will be developed through an active-participative teaching technology, with an eclectic
orientation, where the focus of tasks, method of projects, collaborative learning, etc. will predominate. Each of
the methods and approaches will emphasize learning to do and the use of critical thinking skills.
