These courses are aimed at teachers of Spanish as a foreign language. They are specially designed to provide them with useful resources and materials for their teaching. Both courses include a practical reflection on the teaching of the Spanish language in bilingual contexts and on intercultural phenomena.
Contents [1]
· Spanish language: An in-depth approach to the knowledge and use of the Spanish language through the immersion in the reality of the country, and a reflection on grammatical aspects and differences in usage determined by style, with a special emphasis on colloquial expressions.
· Multicultural Spain and bilingual communities: An approach to the knowledge of the Spanish regional variety, characterized by its cross-cultural nature and the cohabitation of languages. The Basque Country is a good sample of this. The segment will be taught through seminars and discussions.
