Indicative Content and Learning Activities

student-conducted learning activities.
Using a methodology based on the following three key approaches, peer teaching, content & language integrated learning (CLIL), and critical pedagogy, students are encouraged to develop a critical awareness of globalisation as a political, social and economic phenomenon and in so doing are made responsible for a complete teaching task in Spanish from beginning to end. This involves selecting a topic of interest to the class, researching the topic, devising suitable class activities, managing class delivery, encouraging class participation, and critically evaluating their own performance and that of their peers..
