Course description

Cognitive Linguistics offers a theoretical framework of interest for the teaching of languages. Within this framework, language is understood as a constructor of meaning based on the sensory and motor experience of all speakers, and this point of view offers great potential in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language.

In this course, the field of Cognitive Linguistics and its contributions to teaching in formal contexts will be explored through the grammar of the space, the linguistic system that inhabits the mind, and how our embodied language can be understood and learned.


Aimed at
  • Teachers of Spanish as a second and foreign language.
  • Teachers of other foreign languages.
  • Trainers of foreign language teachers
  • Editors and authors of teaching materials
  • Professionals related to the management of language centers
  • Volunteers of non-governmental organizations.
Objectives
  • Reflect on the theoretical principles of cognitive linguistics and its adaptation to the teaching of Spanish.
  • Analyze and assess different proposals for teaching grammar and vocabulary from a cognitive perspective.
  • Apply the principles of cognitive linguistics to the creation of a teaching proposal for grammar and lexicon.
Evaluation

A continuous evaluation will be carried out throughout the course, and special attention will be paid to the objectives achieved in the different modules.

In order to carry out the evaluation, the following will be taken into account:

  • the reflection provided in forums and blogs on theoretical aspects;
  • the design of the final assignment for the teaching and learning of Spanish as a Foreign Language in digital environments.
Methodology

Different types of practical activities are proposed, which involve reflection and problem solving through group discussion and the sharing of professional experiences. The activities are aimed at developing skills for teaching grammar and vocabulary from a cognitive perspective. The discussion of methodological approaches to cognitive teaching will be favored and applied, in a practical way, through provided and generated examples.
