De escritores a docentes, nuevos enfoques creativos para impartir Lengua Española
▶Summary
We request this project to: -To promote the subject of Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) in the 3 countries where it is most taught and by extension throughout the European Union. To do this, we considered that the best way was to collaborate and help teachers who teach it by proposing an innovative form that includes literary creation. -The AEPC will be able to improve its objective of cultural promotion by increasing its internationalization and its members will improve their ability to disseminate their work and their ability to transmit their knowledge. In the previous work, these 8 needs were identified: Limited specific training offer for ELE teachers. Lack of motivation of students and teachers towards ELE. Deficits in reading comprehension. N4 Acquire skills for teaching creative writing. Lack of support and training for ELE teachers (especially in Portugal). Increase the presence of ELE in non-linguistic Italian Lyceums. The AEPC needs to increase its internationalization to transcend the provincial and national scope in its objective of cultural diffusion and the work of its members. To increase the competence of the members of the AEPC to transmit their knowledge to young people.
▶Objectives
Help European Spanish teachers in their work, improving their educational skills. Bring together cultures and promote the integration of different countries through creative writing. Rationally discover the process of artistic creation. To have an innovative methodological alternative that favors reading comprehension, motivation and the development of skills for the teaching of creative writing. Develop an innovative tool to work on ELE and literature based on literary creation. Allow group learning (teacher-teacher-student) by writing and analyzing own and other texts. Improve ELE learning, starting with reading and writing. To present a learning system that fosters the pleasant experience of a creative, imaginative, aesthetic and cultural experience and on the other hand a space where reflection is generated, thought to fix our place in the world. To increase the internationalization of the partners by increasing their network of international contacts and strengthening existing ones. Acquire competencies by members of the AEPC for the transmission of their literary knowledge.
