These days, bilingual education is an innovative approach that goes beyond the mere teaching of a language and so has undergone methodological, curricular and organizational changes"

Conventional methods of teaching a second language, such as demonstrative classes or mechanical exercises, slow down learning and seriously affect students' motivation, as confirmed by statistical data reflecting the failure of the traditional system and methodology.

The pedagogical proposal focuses on the adaptation of teacher training to social, pedagogical and technological changes. Just as students learn in a different way, teachers must also teach in a different way, which is why TECH wants future teachers to be qualified in teaching, experimenting with the methods they will later use.

In educational terms, bilingualism refers to the use of two  languages as a vehicle for teaching the content of one or more subjects within the curriculum.

In the field of teaching, methodological trends and approaches not only require an adaptation in the way a second language is taught in the classroom, but also a new approach.
