ABSTRACT
























































In this module students will establish common ground: attitudes and
approaches to teaching children, teenagers and adults.

1. Define concepts related to pedagogy, andragogy and special needs
students.
2. Identify the strategies and techniques to teach children, teens and adults
and special needs.
3. Contrast the different formats for planning lessons and structure lessons
based on them.
4. Demonstrate the strategies and techniques needed to teach different groups
making use of effective classroom management skills.
5. Develop practical activities to foster real interaction and creative use of
language in children.

In order to create a good learning atmosphere in which students can process,
internalize and make the information theirs. Some approaches will be used,
such as the Communicative Language Teaching, Functional approach and
Cooperative learning. Furthermore, in this module students will participate in
formative and summative assessment.

The methodology that will be applied in the development of the module is
Kolbs strategies and basically ABP, and English methodology as cognitive and
meta-cognitive strategies which may help students develop an independent
learning. Some of the evaluation instruments such a mind maps, charts, oral
presentations will be applied in order to get critical thinking and students own
conclusion according to each topic.

This module contributes to the competences students develop in the other
modules that are part of the Pedagogical Competence. In addition, at the end of
the semester, students will have developed the competencies of a B2 level and
will start to develop the competencies of a C1 level described in the Common
European Framework. This level of English will let them succeed in the test
