El arte de la península ibérica y el español como lengua extranjera en una clase de segundo año

Abstract

Although the validity of language classes based on content is not longer debated', there still exists a certain anxiety among professionals about the most effective ways to implement them. Using the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning, cooperative learning, mini-theaters and games it is possible to integrate different disciplines such as visual arts, music, architecture, sociology, anthropology and history, and at the same time add technology to pedagogy. This form of teaching, which does not forget the five skills and has linguistic proficiency as its goal, eradicates the traditional division in foreign language classes that used to assign the first two years to teaching and learning grammar, and the following years to content, usually understood as literature. At the same time, these classes not only prepare students for the third year, but also encourage them to take it.
