Lingua Guest

On Friday 12 February it took place the third session of the Talks and Workshops about Spanish as a Second Language (SSL) held at Lingua-University of Alcalá since December 2009.

Felix Villalba talked about the new challenges of teaching Spanish as a second language for immigrants. The session reflected on how it is influencing the arrival of immigrant workers and their families in education and especially in the teaching of second language (L2). Therefore, the session deals with the oral teaching for not literate students in their mother tongue and the language use in various contexts such as job and school.

Yesterday it took place the closing of the course Erasmus, given at Lingua-Universidad de Alcalá between 26th January and 16th February.
This course, funded by the University of Alcalá, was attended by students from over 80 different countries, belonging, all of them, to the Erasmus Program.

The students have had the opportunity to learn various aspects of the Spanish language and culture which greatly facilitates their teaching-learning process to be carried out in their university degrees along the 40 hours of the course.

The success of the course has been endorsed by the passing of examinations of over 95% of the students, as well as the results gathered in the surveys they have done.

Next Friday 12th March it will take place the fourth session of the Talks and Workshops about Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL). It will be held at Lingua-University of Alcalá and the lecturers, this time, are Felix Hernandez and Mayte Villalba (UNED).
