GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN SPANISH LANGUAGE TEACHING TO ADULTS (GCSLTA):
MÓDULO 1
STUDY GUIDE
INSTITUTO CERVANTES DE LONDRES
UNIVERSITY OF ROEHAMPTON, UK
WELCOME
Dear Student
Welcome to the ‘Graduate Certificate in Spanish Language Teaching to Adults: Module 1’. It is designed to give you a basic training in how to teach Spanish to adult learners.
The course has run successfully for many years at the Instituto Cervantes, and is now accredited by the University of Roehampton. It is taught by a team of teacher-trainers with a great deal of classroom experience in teaching foreign languages, and who want to pass on their expertise, knowledge and skills to you!
Although it is clearly focussed on how to teach Spanish, the course is taught in both Spanish and English, and its principles are not based on a single particular methodology but can be applied to the teaching of any foreign language to adults. The fact that it is taught by a varied team of trainers but under consistent and coherent direction means that you can have access to a variety of viewpoints and different experiences, but which are all firmly rooted in a broadly communicative approach to language teaching.
We hope that you will enjoy your course, and find it interesting and profitable.
