Advance your academic career with top professionals and acquire the knowledge and skills you need to thrive in the language teaching industry" 

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. Our pedagogical proposal focuses on the adaptation of teacher training to social, pedagogical and technological changes. Just as students learn differently, we must teach differently.

Bilingual education has gained ground in recent years. In the teaching field, 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. New models of bilingual education offer advantages and challenges to both teachers and students. Advantages that will be developed throughout this high-level specialization, by professionals with extensive experience in the sector.

Foreign language teachers play an important role in bilingual programs, because the language they teach is now useful in other subjects or professional modules within the syllabus. A unique opportunity for professionals who wish to acquire the latest teaching methods and strategies in bilingual education and would like to incorporate them into their daily professional practice.
