This program pays special attention to the teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL), with one of the main objectives being to prepare educators to teach multicultural and multilingual groups. 

Thus, different methodological approaches are presented to facilitate the teacher's work and help them create activities within this specific framework. Interaction is essential to minimize multicultural differences and enable the transformation of the classroom from a teaching space to a social space. This program also emphasizes the relevance of information and communication technologies in the field of teaching. 

The presence of ICT in the classroom brings wide-ranging benefits and helps in the presentation of content. Once again, the work of the teacher is a fundamental factor in its use since they must create a digital resource database that is reliable and appropriate for pre-school and primary teaching.

Given the above, it can be seen that the Postgraduate diploma in Teaching Grammar, Lexicon and Spelling in Pre-School and Primary School focuses on developing a range of competencies, as well as linguistic skills in both comprehension and oral and written production. The development of a teaching plan and its corresponding units must be geared towards achieving a series of objectives established at the beginning of the school year. Nowadays, the educator is often expected to teach SFL in a multicultural group which has limited contact with the Spanish language, and so this field has been prioritised in this Postgraduate program. The benefits of using your own digital resource database containing practical and reliable contents are also explored.
