It is compulsory to have passed the courses English Language and English Language Teaching I & II, as students will be required to prove a B2 level in every communicative skill.
The minor in English as a Foreign Language leads to the acquisition of the theoretical and practical training of the teaching of English language in Primary Education and deals with the new educational requirements: plurilingualism, interculturalism, ICT, and critical thinking. Competences gather around two blocks: linguistics and didactics. This course is framed into the former and is aimed to strengthen the communicative skills in the B2 level of the European Framework of Reference for Languages.
