Training in English language and methodology for very young learners is essential for student teachers due to the importance given to the foreign language subject in Early Chidhood Education together with the emergence of new legislation concerning plurilingualism. In this sense, the course unit intends to delve into the practice of the five communicative skills of the English language to develop the communicative competence in English. Likewise, it intends to show methodological aspects and didactic implementations of the English language in Early Childhood Education classrooms and teach the basic didactic principles for their future career as ECE teachers.
The course unit Foreign Language and Teaching I: English is included in the Module 1.1.4 (Basic Training in Foreign Language).
