After completing this postgraduate diploma you will have developed the skills and strategies required to communicate correctly with your students in an English classroom"

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 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. With this high-level program, the professional will specialize in Communication Strategies in an English Classroom, under the guidance of professionals with years of experience in the teaching sector.

Conventional methods in language teaching, such as expository classes or mechanical exercises, slow down learning and seriously affect the motivation of students, as confirmed by statistical data reflecting the failure of the system and traditional methodology. TECH pedagogical proposal focuses on the adaptation of teacher training to social, pedagogical and technological changes. Just as students learn differently, teachers must also teach differently. That is why we intend future teachers to be trained for teaching, experimenting with the methods they will later use. 

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.
