3. CONTENT DESCRIPTION

The syllabus is fundamentally divided into two main blocks: one theoretical, in which the essential notions of writing skills in English are taught, and the other of a more practical nature, in which the theoretical knowledge is applied to the teaching of these skills in Primary and Early Childhood Education. These two aspects coexist in the different units of the syllabus, so it is convenient for students to assimilate not only the abstract theoretical concepts, but also their potential subsequent application to the teaching of written skills in English.

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The course is structured around:
1. Big group lectures: master classes.
2. Classes in practical groups: seminars, debates and oral presentations of the tasks carried out by students.
3. Individual or group tutorials: clarification and resolution of doubts. Supervision of the tasks carried out.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

The final grade for the course will be based on:

- Attendance and participation (active and of good quality) in classes (15%).

- A written test on the theoretical knowledge of the course and its practical application to writing and teaching (60%).

- Preparation of compositions and other written tasks (25%).

The evaluation system follows the European credit system and the system of RD 1125/2003 (5 September) which regulates the grading system in official university degrees. Competences and learning outcomes: CFDD 24, 26, 27 and 28/// R60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66.
