General description Nesta materia introdúcense conceptos fundamentais na área da Didáctica da Lingua Estranxeira en Educación Infantil orientando o proceso de ensino e aprendizaxe dende unha perspectiva crítica e reflexiva. Abordarase a DLE prestando especial atención ás destrezas orais dado que a comprensión e a expresión oral deben entenderse nesta etapa educativa como o punto de partida para o ensino dunha primeira lingua estranxeira. Así mesmo formularase unha revisión de conceptos fundamentais do uso da lingua inglesa que servirán como ferramenta ao alumnado non só para abordar os contidos propios desta materia, que serán presentados nesta lingua, senón tamén para o seu futuro como docentes nun espazo europeo plurilingüe.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.)
Oral presentation Core component of teaching-learning process involving coordinated oral interaction between student and teacher, including proposition, explanation and dynamic exposition of facts, topics, tasks, ideas and principles.
Mixed objective/subjective test Mixed test consisting of essay-type and objective test questions. Essay section consists of open (extended answer) questions; objective test may contain multiple-choice, ordering and sequencing, short answer, binary, completion and/or multiple-matching questions.
Collaborative learning Guided teaching-learning procedures (overseen in person and/or using ICT methods) based on organisation of class into small groups in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by teacher, with aim of optimising their learning experience and that of other members of group.
Document analysis Research skills development involving use of audiovisual and/or bibliographical documents (documentary or film extracts, news items, advertising images, photographs, articles, legal texts, etc.) relating to specific topic of study, with targeted analysis activities. Used as introduction to topic, as focus for case study, to explain abstract processes and present complex situations, or as strategy for synthesising content (theoretical and practical).
Workbook Compilation of printed texts and written documents, collected and edited as tool to consolidate knowledge of course content.
Research (Research project) Teaching process aimed at promoting student learning through use of practical, situation-based activities in which learner is tasked with identifying problem, articulating specific nature of problem, analysing it, interpreting results, and reaching appropriate conclusion.
Student portfolio Folder or binder divided into clearly marked or labelled sections containing record or products of learning activities performed over a given period, with student’s progress charted through marks achieved and comments of teacher. Portfolio includes: class notes, research, project outlines and development, article analysis, summaries, tests, self-assessment, tasks and task outcomes, teacher’s progress reports, etc.

Other comments

Oral presentations, activities, tasks and the portfolio done throughout the module may need individual support during office hours.

Resources must be used sustainably in order to avoid negative effects on the environment. Therefore, it is recommended to send activities, projects and task online. Otherwise, it is preferable that plastic is not used, double-page printing, recycled paper and avoid printing drafts.

It is crucial to remember the ethical principles regarding sustainability values in professional and personal behaviour.
