Methodologies	Description
Summary	Consiste nunha síntese dos principais contidos traballados.
Laboratory practice	Metodoloxía que permite que os estudantes aprendan de xeito efectivo a través da realización de actividades de carácter práctico, tales como exercicios.
Supervised projects	Metodoloxía deseñada para promover a aprendizaxe autónoma dos estudantes, baixo a tutela do profesor e en escenarios variados (académicos e profesionais). Está referida prioritariamente ao aprendizaxe do “cómo facer as cousas”. Constitúe unha opción baseada na asunción polos estudantes da responsabilidade pola súa propia aprendizaxe. Este sistema de ensino baséase en dous elementos básicos: a aprendizaxe independente dos estudantes e o seguimento desa aprendizaxe polo profesor-titor.
Objective test	O estudantado realizará unha proba práctica final para avaliar a aprendizaxe da materia impartida.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Durante as sesións maxistrais presentaranse diferentes aspectos da lingua inglesa, tales como o vocabulario específico de interese para o exercicio profesional da titulación e certas estruturas gramaticais. Trátase dunha exposición oral complementada coa introducción dalgunhas preguntas dirixidas aos estudantes, coa finalidade de transmitir coñecementos e facilitar a aprendizaxe.
