Structural and vocabulary knowledge is also reinforced. In addition, basic aspects of the methodology of language teaching and didactic applications aimed at the current school context, the curriculum of foreign languages ¿¿in Infants and their application in the classroom are worked on. The subject is part of the module "English language learning" (1.2.2.2) in the Early Childhood Education Degree.
