SESIONES

Serán 5  las sesiones propuestas para llevar a cabo la propuesta. Hay que tener en cuenta que el ritmo no es el mismo en cada sesión, por lo tanto intentaremos adaptarnos a la dinámica del grupo-clase con una cierta flexibilidad.

 METODOLOGÍA

La metodología será flexible y dinámica teniendo en cuenta la diversidad e individualidad del alumnado. Además, trataremos de propiciar fundamentalmente la participación de todos los alumnos en un ambiente donde el error tanto lingüístico como de contenido nunca será reprochado. 

Las actividades serán muy lúdicas, activas y variadas donde el alumno tendrá que trabajar tanto de manera individual como en pequeño y gran grupo. Partiremos siempre de lo que conozcan los alumnos para ampliar sus conocimientos para que el aprendizaje sea significativo y les proporcionaremos distintas herramientas para que consigan resolver las distintas actividades (andamiaje).
