Propuesta didáctica metodologías activas para la (meta)enseñanza de la lengua española en la universidad

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show in detail a teaching approach to change the way of teaching (to teach) Spanish (or any other first language) at university. To do this, the idea that this change must be created at the beginning of the educational system –that is, the teacher training– is taken as a basis. Hence, a teaching experience carried out with teachers-to-be in the subject “Spanish Language Teaching” is presented. This experience applies the cases study to learn (to teach) Spanish and includes several active methodologies, such as cooperative learning and the task-based approach. The results, focused both on the vision of the subject as a whole and on the specific activity that concerns us, suggest a general acceptance of the methodologies used. Nevertheless, the main conclusion also contains a series of paradoxes that affect especially those who do not feel comfortable learning with the above mentioned case studies.
